When people accuse this জীবন্ত of being full of "fanservice", does that just mean the characters' bodies reach a certain ideal?

Nah, they're all just butthurt men who think that "only THEY can draw half naked জীবন্ত characters of the opposite gender!" In all honesty, those people are complete and utter idiots who need to learn something called ~Equality~

But yeah, that's basically it. দ্বারা fanservice, they think that this প্রদর্শনী is a girl's equivalent to their "Women Stripping" জীবন্ত and they aren't happy about it.

Ugh.

Yup, it's not bad! Let's protest!

Seems like this জীবন্ত is centered to girl fans. I think it depends on where আপনি will focus on. If আপনি want to focus on the muscles, then go on. Nobody forces আপনি not to. In their case, that's what they had their heads on!

Although I also think that the funny scenes (Haru getting all worked up on choosing his swimwear and Rei with his "beauty-fetish" are the funniest!) and the হৃদয় pounding tournament is worth watching, since personally, I really like sports-themed animes that can make me feel excited, ever since Prince of Tennis, to Eyeshield 21, to Giant Killing, to Kuroko no Basket, and so on. The theme is also about team competitions and friendship.

It's not all অনুরাগী service. (Tho, yeah, but not totally.) It's not ecchi অথবা hentai অথবা anything like that. No groping অথবা molesting is involved. Just pure men with half-naked bodies trying their best for their swim team.
