I think about this all the time.
There are lots of cartoons, anime, manga and other such methods of content out there that I feel should do one particular thing more often, and they never do, even though it's really kind of simple.
Now, even if someone doesn't have a Hypnosis fetish, per se, anime still has a lot of fanservice (which I approve of most all the time), and of course the most common thing is girls in their underwear. Like, it's THE most common thing in anime for instance, to do.
But I feel like hypnosis fetish or not, there's one simple thing that so many anime could do that so few take advantage of that it drives me crazy. Anime needs to showcase more fanservice using characters sleepwalking, or at least put into SOME kind of state where they don't know they're in their underwear or are exposing themselves unintentionally.
You can play it for laughs, for legit fanservice, whatever. Just for god's sake, do it more, animation and comic book mediums. Everytime I see a panty shot, it's almost always the same thing. Not that i'm complaining about what I get exactly, but it feels derivative after a while. Skirts flying up or someone getting a peak while said girl is wide awake and giving the stereotypical reaction of "eek, you pervert! I'm gonna slap you even if it was an accident", yadda yadda, ect.
I've seen it happen a few times, don't get me wrong. Maybe three or four times. Meme from Soul Eater NOT got up and sleepwalked around in just her buttoned up top and tried to strip down while sleepwalking and walked around town like that once. That was pretty good. Fam The Silver Wing did a thing where a girl stripped to her underwear and walked around. That was cute. Maybe one or two other times. But it's rare.
Put girl into state where she's unaware. Have her be in her underwear while it happens. Whether it's for blatant fanservice, or wacky fanservice wrapped up as a hilarious joke, just show girls hypnotized in vulnurable states, instead of just normally in her normal clothes and only for 2-8 seconds like shows and comics always keep doing.
But as for my DREAM content? The thing I ALWAYS wanted to see? That's easy. It's something i've depicted a few times, and for some reason nothing has ever done it to this scale. Show a vast array of mindless hypnotized zombies in underwear in front of each other all over the place. Stumbling around, as a group.
I refer people to the crowd hypno-zombie scenes in the Power Rangers episode "Zedd Waves". Like, ok, do that, but have everyone also be compelled to be in their underwear. I'd prefer it to all be girls, but if it's a crowd scene, i'd be fine looking around and pausing the video so I can focus on all the people I like, in the scene. Just give me something like that.
Or maybe some sort of episode of something as a funny gag or funny premise where women's underwear all becomes self-aware and suddenly all possess the women wearing them to expose themselves and be seen the way all panties secretly wanted to be, maybe. Walking them around like puppets to show off. That's a good one that is never done.
I just think that out of all the blatant fanservice routes, the obvious isn't used as an excuse as much as it can be.
And if a work ever just simply based it's whole premise around this, well then.... i'd just be indebted to it and love it forever.
