When people accuse this anime 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 anime 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. sa pamamagitan ng fanservice, they think that this ipakita is a girl's equivalent to their "Women Stripping" anime and they aren't happy about it.

Ugh.

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

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