You go in there for a cock tease.

I hope you understand that.

Ecchi in an ecchi anime you mean. Someone complaining about it being in there is stupid as a wall but it's completely fine if they complain about how it is done.

Yes. But complaining about the existence of it in there is a no.

Saying that Monogatari series S2 should have an ecchi tag it's like saying To Love Ru should have an action tag, there's too little of it.

Complaining about the existense of ecchi in ecchi shows is like complaining about a hentai having no proper story or how you can't play crysis 3 with just satalite tv...
Of course there's going to be ecchi stuff, and if you don't like that then go watch something else.
For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Either the softcore isn't softcore enough for them, their taste in the ecchi sucks is different than what is being showed, or there is too much for their masculinity to handle.

Well ecchi in an ecchi anime is akin to battles in a battle shounen or matches in a sports anime. Yeah, people who complain that they're there are obviously screw-loose nutcases. But there's ecchi in good taste and then tasteless ecchi.

In addition to this, the amount can be a big factor too. Not all ecchi are created equally after all; too much can distract from the comedy or other elements in the show that normally would be woven in with ecchi moments to create funny, cute scenes.

Why do people watch these anime to begin with? Why? There's hentai. You get full nudity there along with actual sex instead of censored nudity or glimpses of a nipple. Oh right...don't also forget the typical male protagonist who is afraid of sex and the female body.

Because there's actually character development and (although mediocre) plot. A hentai series will get maybe 3-4 OVA's most of which is sex. However, an ecchi series usually has 12 or more episodes, most of which is fanservice and comedy. It's easier to enjoy fanservice if you like the characters.

Those kinda shows are shitty shows which is why you'll hear me give HS DxD so much praise. The guy actually wants to fuck and the woman wouldn't mind if he did.

And the answer to your question would be some guys just like softcore, the quality of hentai is just too low generally (my reason), and/or the censorship lows in Japan are a massive cockblock so why bother putting heavy money into a hentai.

That's only partly correct, it has to pass that and then it has to not be expected. So ecchi in an ecchi anime isn't fanservice just as much as nudity in a porno isn't.

I watch Ecchi because it makes me laugh, or if it doesn't make me laugh, I'm at least entertained by whats going on. I am entertained by a character having to run through his house which is practically a panty mine field, a festival where people are having a battle where they ram giant statues shaped like penises into each other(kinda hard to describe that, second half of episode 6 for Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai).

Its a fallacy that people watch ecchi just to fap. People like Hetalia, and I can't understand it, but if people find it entertaining, who am I to judge? To me Ecchi is sort of a sub-genre to comedy, with a different target audience, that being those who have a dirty mind and a perverted sense of humour.

Like seriously man, you're watching ECCHI! How can there ever be too much fan service? granted the amount may range from totally docile like Rosario Vampire to straight up softcore like To Love Ru Darkness but still...

Fan service and anime is almost like bread and butter, even supposedly non-ecchi shows have it occasionally. I've learned to disregard it even when it's completely irrelevant, like the Monogatari series for example (obviously people watch it for the story and the dialogue, right? right??).

It just irritates me to no end when people complain about things that are expected to be there. Tons of unnecessary fan service in an ecchi anime? holy sh*t that's something new -___-


even if its ecchi it still needs something more than just pantsu show. mostly they also comedies and romances so they still need a decent story at least.
please sell me the condom, mister
I would like to fuck my sister!
condoms really worth to keep
I will fuck her very deep!
could you be my condom keeper?
so I could try to fuck her deeper!

please think I m stupid but please dont think I m a troll.

i was adding on to what Anon1409 said. in his instance, the ecchi gets in the way of a good plot.

i fully know what ecchi's are and don't complain about them.

Fan service as a whole is not bad which is my point. I understand the complaints regarding inappropriately timed fanservice, like during action or horror scenes in HOTD (my previous example), but that =/= fan service overall

If good fan service keeps you from appreciating plot simply because it's fan service, then you're being pretty single-minded.

Well, I'd say the exactly opposite. We need a break from ecchi, not deep stories. Just look at the amount of ecchi there is among the animes every season... Seriously, the problem is not in the genre itself, it's just that there's too much of it. And it's even worse in light novels, few of them aren't ecchi or romcoms. I know that there are good romcoms and ecchis, but they could publish more other genres, such as dramas. Stories like CLANNAD and LB! are a rare jewel.
