Does ecchi in anime bother you as a female?

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I think it it's a debatable topic.
Personally I can't stand it, it just annoys me so much, so I've never completed an ecchi I guess.
It's unnecessary, it destroys the female characters and moreoverfor it just destroys the show overall. But I guess it might be because I'm female so I don't enjoy constant boob close ups and panty shots.
So I was wondering if other females are bothered by it or do most of you just enjoy the anime without caring about it.

I'm a strait man and it bothers me. I usually avoid those shows. There's lots of other shows to watch but sadly they are harder to find sometimes.

In 99% of cases I don't watch anime tagged as Ecchi.

Most of those Harem/Ecchi shows are complete crap when it comes to actual plot and characters, so guys watch it for the fanservice, which I'm not interested in.

This doesn't apply to all shows that are tagged as Ecchi, but to the majority.

As a guy I love Ecchi, but I can understand why females find it repulsing. I mean there are anime like Free that cater to the female audience, but for the male audience they dismiss it as gay

I have no problem with it but I don't go out of my way to watch ecchi specific shows
If a show has some ecchi, I'm fine with it but excessive amounts without plot I guess can get annoying

I can watch Ecchi and not have a problem with it. But I'm too lazy to pick up shows in general.

There's not much of a point besides the fanservice, so obviously if you're not attracted to women you won't like it... Their existence doesn't particularly bother me even if I don't like them, despite liking women.

I don't dislike ecchi because of ecchi. I dislike it because it's often written like a middle schooler's fantasy fanfiction.

If I want to look at tits, google images can provide a better experience than sitting through 20 minutes of fucking lazy boring garbage.

There's only one good "ecchi for ecchi's sake" series and that's To Love-Ru.

In all other cases I find myself "putting up with" ecchi if the rest of the show is good enough, but rarely does ecchi not make me cringe.

It's that creepy indecision from anime makers if they want a show to be clean or if they want it to be full-on adult oriented. I wouldn't mind actual sex scenes half as much as I mind sneaking in sexual content into something that is rated PG-13. That's creepy.

Either make it for all ages, or make it for adults, evading the rating system and finding ways to 'porn up' PG-13 shows is creepy and low.

There are of course exceptions, and it all has to do with how tastefully it is done. The vast majority is tasteless though. Especially the ones that try to pass it off as metaphors or artificial depth, like Mawaru Penguindrum.

Edit: I know this was for the female audience, but men can be annoyed too >:(

I can't stand eechi/harem anime. Eechi on the other hand is livable if the main focus isn't on fanservice.

^, if an anime has ecchi without having an ecchi tag, I might get slightly annoyed. But like, I don't mind nudity or anything; anime is just usually really immature in its nudity most of the time.

As a female, ecchi doesn't bother me, as a male, ecchi doesn't bother me. If anything I'll dislike how an anime(or how most anime) uses it(I'm actually more neutral) but I like sex(like almost everyone else in the world) so it does appeal to me.

I don't mind ecchi at all if I go into the show knowing ecchi is a main part of it. However, I hate it when it's randomly thrown into anime just because, like Kallen in Code Geass.

I don't mind watching a show with Ecchi. I like watching High School DxD. It's not my favorite genre, but I don't feel disgusted by it.

WA1 > WA2


WA1 is super underrated!! That show doesn't deserve a rating of 6.8!! IT should be a 7.8. I like WA2 more.

^This. ecchi that only focus on funservice and recycle plot usually so boring and dropped after 4th episode.

I'm bisexual so ecchi and/or fanservice for both genders doesn't bother me since I am capable of being attracted to either gender. But I don't love shows that have all ecchi and no plot.

I don't have anything against shows that have a lot nudity, far from it even. I just find the way nudity is presented in ecchi shows very juvenile and distracting. That's a reason why I try to avoid these type of shows nowadays.

OP, just watch old school Anime. Ecchi back then wasn't so bad, and most Anime girls had normal sized breasts in the 80s.

Yes. Back in the 80s, oversized breasts were practically non-existent in Anime.

You and I are the same age. I've been watching Anime since the early 1990s. Ecchi wasn't half as bad back then as it is now.

Like I said, breasts were more normal sized, and fanservice had more class than it does now.

You dont need to watch old ass anime to avoid ecchi. Its enough to simply avoid anime that doesn't have ecchi genre in it. Or just enjoy your PG-13/G rated anime.

I rarely ever voice this strong dislike of mine on the interwebs, but definitely..... I despise ecchi more than I do tsundere girls. I don't have much of a problem with it though, since I (try to) go out of my way to avoid this kind of fanservice. When panty shots/bouncing boobs twice as big as the character's head show up out of nowhere in something I'm watching, I do get annoyed. The irony is, all the series I used to watch when I was 12/13 had ecchi in it. In my defense, at the time I had no idea what ecchi even was and just thought it was normally present in all anime. Those were the dark ages
