  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: A character (usually someone designated a Mr. or Ms. Fanservice -- either in-universe or according to the fandom -- but an Innocent Fanservice Girl [or Guy] can be susceptible) takes a shower. More often the person is female, but can also be done with men to appease the squealing fangirls (and gay fanboys). Also known as the Obligatory Shower Scene. A Decontamination Chamber can be used as a variation of this in science fiction works. Subtropes include: Compare Bathtub Scene. Examples of Shower Scene include:

More often the person is female, but can also be done with men to appease the squealing fangirls (and gay fanboys). Also known as the Obligatory Shower Scene. A Decontamination Chamber can be used as a variation of this in science fiction works. One of the most common forms of Fan Service, this will usually involve frosted glass, Censor Steam, Censor Suds, or a Toplessness From the Back shot to appease the censors and get crap past the radar, if necessary. If a waterfall is used in place of a shower for whatever reason (a character is out in the woods or the story takes place before indoor plumbing was common), then it's a Waterfall Shower. Almost always used in conjunction with Modesty Towel, Censor Steam, Censor Suds (though that's more common for bath sceens), and Toplessness From the Back. Subtropes include: * * Shower of Angst (when a character showers to wash away shame, misery, or embarrassment by taking a shower -- either naked or clothed, depending on how messed-up the character is) * Shower of Awkward (when Hilarity Ensues when one character walks in on another showering) * Shower of Love (when two people make love while in the shower). Compare Bathtub Scene. Examples of Shower Scene include:
