I feel like this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but hear me out. Oh, and btw, I would only want this if other aspects of the anime/manga weren't sacrificed (like story development).

Let's start with a picture:

I wish she always looked like that...

That's Sakura in the recent episode. The one that contains what could possibly be the most obvious fan service in the history of Naruto. And, at least in my opinion, this is also the best Sakura has looked in the history of Naruto.

However, I still don't want Naruto to have fan service. :)

After reading that, you are probably saying to yourself, "Alright, Vilvake. OK. I respect you for wanting to keep the evils of fan service well clear of Naruto. That being said, I just have one question. Why the flippityfreak- yeah that's right, I said it, flippityfreak- are you wasting my time with this thread, then?

Why? Because I only want it to be more influenced by fan service. Trust me, there's a difference.

An anime/manga with fan service will have camera angles focused on characters butts, boobs and even up their skirts. Basically, all the angles that are completely illogical and do literally nothing to further develop the story.

However, an anime/manga influenced by fan service is bare of all that mess, save for one point. The one point that allows it to use service in its name. Making characters look good!

To explain this, take the usual Sakura. Aside from her face, there isn't even much that identifies her as female. Her body could pass for a man's. If the point of view often focused on her butt... could you honestly say, with a straight face, that's called fan service? No! It's fan torture! However, Sakura 2.0 from the recent episode could justify that name.

So, essentially, I wish the characters of Naruto were attractive enough to be fan service-ified. Of course, without them actually being, you know, fan service-ified....... makes sense, right? Right!?

Wrong. That's called better animation. Derp.

I actually liked the new episode. It was pretty funny. And I agree with you to a point. I always found Sakura attractive. I thought she looked the best in the episode where she kills the fake Neji, with her hair up and everything. There's nothing wrong with influenced fan service haha

The point of this thread is too vague.

Have you seen Shippuden: Bonds? Her ass is ultra-feminine..

Her body could pass for a man? Her boobs maybe small, but they are visible + slim figure = Female body
Only way she could pass for a guy - Boobs + plenty of fat.

Take into account that every time her body is drawn, it's not going to be the same.

Yeah, I liked the episode too! That was the point! Leave it to me to write so much and fail to get my point across...

Making characters look attractive is difficult on a weekly basis. Take a look at Kishi's road to ninja one-shot. Everybody looked great because the effort was put in to focus on their faces a little more.

The anime needs to pick up and make them look like that more consistently. But whatever.

I'm talking about her usual look. And I was exaggerating the man part to emphasize my point.

Look at Fairy Tail, all the fan service makes the story worse.Naruto hopefully won't stoop that low.​

I stopped watching before it started getting bad... maybe. I remember a ton of annoying fan service though

Edit- but by far, the most horrible fan service I have ever seen was in an anime I saw on Netflix. I think it was called "Demon King Daimo" or something. My eyes were bleeding.

Edit 2- Why were they bleeding? Simple. My brain saw what they were showing it and thought, "There is no way something could be this god awful. I'm gonna teach Eyes not to screw around with me."

my vision is really bad now :(

This episode was all about fanservice with such emphasis on Hinata's boobs and just the whole setting of being in a bathhouse.
