The depicted female character, Himejima Akeno, is voluptuous and scantily dressed in a swimsuit. The sexual intent behind the image is clear.
The first problem lies in its portrayal of sexual fanservice.įigure 2: An eyecatch from the animated adaptation of High School DxDįigure 2 is an image generally representative of sexual fanservice in anime, taken from an anime ( High School DxD) that mainly entertains through this visual device.
