Baccano is great. Good times and vibes. Isaac and milia are goat. ironic that durarara goes the complete opposite direction w the service angle.
Kara no Kyoukai (Garden of Sinners) is kind of interesting/weird w/r/t this sort of shit, especially because it's type moon. The nudity in it is incredibly uncomfortable (it's a sexual assault/rape), and you're not supposed to feel good about it. Outside of episode 3 (with the SA) though there's very little in the way of sex stuff, just murders, domestic violence, a character that wants to fuck her brother... But I think it's all pretty much treated seriously (except perhaps Azaka's chances). Shiki/SHIKI and Mikiya are great characters.
Still tho, having rewatched recently it's surprisingly non-servicey.
But yeah even some of my most recommended animes can't avoid the service trap. Hidamari Sketch is amazingly comfy, and while 90% of it is wideface cute stuff, the fanservice is inescapable.
Garden of Sinners as well as the rest of the Nasuverse is really weird in this. Some of it is just pure fanservice BS like Fate/Apocrypha and Extra/Extella, but then you get some great things like Fate/Zero or Fate/Strange Fake that aren't at all.
Yeah you get how strange it is. It's like nasu clearly has the capacity to write without turning everything into fanservice, as KnK shows. But then he just has to let his freak flag fly sometimes I guess...
Zero and Strange Fake aren't written by Nasu. Neither is Apocrypha.
I don't know about Grand Order (I think he has some involvement) or Extra though.
The worst offender of Fate the magical girl Illya one is also not him at least.
