When people accuse this animé 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 animé 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. par fanservice, they think that this montrer is a girl's equivalent to their "Women Stripping" animé and they aren't happy about it.

Ugh.

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

Seems like this animé is centered to girl fans. I think it depends on where toi will focus on. If toi want to focus on the muscles, then go on. Nobody forces toi 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 cœur, coeur 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 fan service. (Tho, yeah, but not totally.) It's not ecchi ou hentai ou anything like that. No groping ou molesting is involved. Just pure men with half-naked bodies trying their best for their swim team.
