anime/manga made by a woman

That’s why it doesnt suck ass

Probably a large reason yes, although it still has its own form of fan service

Fern pouts are the most powerful form of fanservice known to man

i was referring more to the mimic running "gag" and the not-so-subtle butt and boob shots, and a lot of the female characters' outfits in the 2nd arc

Sorry, just making a lame joke! I never saw the mimic gag as fanservice, myself. I guess Frieren's butt is sticking out but I saw it as comical rather than titillating--made me think of a common trope where someone will get beat up and they'll be faceplanted but with their butt sticking way up in the air which looks very silly. Totally agree with the rest, though.

FMAB was also created by a woman so that tracks.

So that's why it's not incredibly horny!
