an exception to this would be an anime like Gurren Laggan (the first season at least); the design and plot development well outweighed the ample breasts imo

Kill la Kill is really similar to Gurren Lagann in all sorts of ways. Like, a lot

and the "fan service" is done in a purposely obnoxious, parody type of way that...actually has to do with the goofy plot. It's all in good fun, rather than some creepy body pillow cash grab. It was a bit rocky to me at first, but by the end of the series, it seriously just seems normal.

I'm sure outside of context it sounds like a really bad joke... It's all in the execution, I guess!

Outside of KLK, though, you certainly have a point. Sometimes I find ecchi humor in anime pretty funny, but most of the time it's distracting and in bad taste and completely unnecessary. That describes a lot of things in anime in general...
