People are hardly dating and/or fucking? What's up with that?

If the hero do hook up, it's treated like some ultimate goal at the end of the show.

I once watched an episode of an anime that I can't remember the name of. It was a pretty good show.
This kid runs in a gang, but he meets a girl along the way. They hang out as friends, go on dates, and eventually she becomes his girlfriend. It was like regular people shit. That had no business blowing me away as much as it did seeing as this was an anime.

It might be a reflection of the culture. Many people are sexually repressed and increasingly socially isolated while being bombarded with sexualized media.

Because romantic (and unromantic, honestly) relationships can change the structure of a story which more-often-than-not negatively impacts whatever charm the series had in the first place, whereas fanservice is just mindless fun that doesnt affect anything in any meaningful way.

There's a few anime I can think of where dating is the start/middle, not the end.

As for fucking... Well, there were a few eroge adaptations that were pushing the envelope... before eroge adaptations all but ceased. Yosuga no Sora was a major one.

Nowadays, it's only the harem/isekai that'll get explicit with the sex, like Redo of Healer and next season's Isekai Labyrinth.

I assume because two characters dating would change the dynamic of the show. A lot of american shows and cartoons do it too (just without the hypersexualization). Lot's of in your face "will they, won't they" moments, but the characters never actually date.

Used to drive me nuts as a kid and I really appreciate shows now, where the romance actually does happen, even if it's at the end of the show.

Not if the people writing it know what they're doing.

If they knew what they were doing, would they be making harem anime?

This always annoys me about anime. Motherfucker you just gave me 300 episodes of tits and ass and nudity and occasional non consensual groping, and yet handholding is too extreme for your shitty show

Yeah. Or just two characters having an earnest conversation about their feelings towards one another. Having characters expressing a believable attraction to one another is apparently just too much. You know, unless some falls into a pair of tits for the umpteenth time, or walk in on someone naked and get punched to the moon for it, or something stupid like that.

I want a bump so I could talk about a an anime where it gets away with it -- I really that show Eureka 7. What I liked about it, the entire show is about these two people's gradual relationship that gets nicely wrapped up at the end. And you have all these characters around them and they're going through their stuff too.

It's basically a mecha chick flick. Great show.

Sometimes sexual tension is the whole point of the show. Kill that, and it kills the show. Not anime exclusive.

Of a shitty show, yeah.

Some animes are especially bad about it.

It's especially weird cause acknowledgement of fucking is much more common in shoujo/josei manga.

And it's extremely rare for a josei manga to get adapted to an anime. I think shoujo doesn't do too hot in that regard, either (at least, compared to shonen and seinen).

Ill answer correctly but who knows if anyone will listen

Its a Japanese culture thing. Runs pretty deep. They think using perversion as a comedy trope is hilarious. Its a different sense of comedy to western audiences so it comes off weird, but thats pretty much it.

Artistic comedy. They think casual flirting and the idea of capturing not an innocent, but naive idea of love is aesthetically pleasing
