Before I begin, I'm just going to avoid bullshitting around, and make myself clear:
I love fan service.
I fap to hentai minimum 2 hours a day.

I keep hearing people like ShadowACS ask: "What is the point in ecchi when you have hentai, which goes all the way?"
The difference between hentai and ecchi is the difference between taking one piece of chocolate, vs an entire bag.
Ecchi is meant to be more, "subtle", "seductive", "unpredictable" (since you can't tell when a fan service scene will happen like with hentai). Ecchi is meant to arouse you, but not necessarily make you jerk off.
Hentai is mean to be "in your face": make you just jerk off without a second thought.

But the problem with ecchi anime is that their fan service is too light and cheap: they primarily bank their fan service on cheap, generic, boob/ass shots, or a cliche scene where one girl kinda shows her boobs a bit to the main character, and then the scene ends.

In the opening scene of Monster Musume, a half-snake girl is cuddled next to the main character, shoving his face into her boobs.
It's hot. It's erotic. But it's also not straight-up porn.

EDIT: I want to see more VARIETY in ecchi anime.

As far as I know, ecchi is simply a genre comprised of light sexual tones and/or innuendoes, usually for comedy purposes. Take a look at Keijo, Food Wars, and Kill la Kill. They don't try to arouse the viewer, but rather create a unique and balls to the wall experience you won't get from other genres, especially hentai.

The REAL problem with ecchi in my eyes is that too many shows are made in such a way that they might as well just go full hentai. An example of this would be Something-something Testament or whatever the hell it's called. Honestly, that show is pretty much full-blown porn with an ecchi tag slapped on it, and is just downright insulting as a result. In those cases, you really are better off watching hentai, no questions asked.

I want more ecchi anime to be like this: I want to see ecchi anime where the girls straight-up dominate the guy in these EXTREME, sexual situations. I want to see an ecchi anime where the girls force the guy to lick them. I want to see MORE than just cheap, generic, boob/ass/panty shots.
I want to see ecchi anime go up-and-beyond, while still retaining within the boundaries, of SOFT-core porn.

I understand what you mean, but I completely disagree. Anime like Keijo and Kill la Kill, I'd classify as, "goofy ecchi": not really meant to arouse you, so much as make you laugh at how fucking ridiculous they are with the sexual undertones.

Anime like Monster Musume, Girls Bravo, I'd classify as actual ecchi, because those are actually meant to make you horny.

OP gets out here and just begins telling it like it is <3

Though I should note that I actually don't have a problem by and large with the kind of ecchi he's complaining about, it's perfectly great in its own right. MAL's asinine and seemingly random way of handling what's considered an ecchi in the database is probably the #1 culprit there, given how it can fuck with my expectations of how much of something I'll be getting whenever there's stuff that's pretty clearly not-ecchi but has a few fanservice scenes in there being tagged as such.

Not just femdom. OTHER forms of sexual content (although femdom is the only porn I fap to, so I'm kinda biased towards it): BDSM, dude-dominates-girl, licking fetishes, guy-forced-to-dress-up-as-girl.
The problem is the lack of VARIETY.

Well yes ecchi is often too tame to actually fulfill its own intentions. Not that all ecchi is actually made to be hot mind you (can also be for romantic intimacy or comedy for example), but when it's solely there as eye candy then if it's not intense enough to actually be arousing... then it doesn't really accomplish much

This is largely why I tend to heavily dislike action + ecchi as a combination because the idea of random bouncing tits in the middle of a supposedly serious fight and basically nothing else is just dumb. No way in hell I would get turned on by that, and in that case what's the point? If you're gonna do ecchi for the sake of being lewd then yeah I think it's much better to go to the extreme like Kiss x Sis or To LOVE-Ru Darkness for example where it's actually pretty damn sexy

tl;dr - atmosphere is key

Actually no, the Testament type is far superior since it actually completes the purpose of ecchi. Light ecchi shows just tease you pointlessly (think Highschool DxD) and are weak as a result.

And there aren't any hentai with the same production values so you are not better off watching that anyway

@Darek Actually,... there is some value in having light arousing content in ecchi shows, like a shower scene. Hell, I'm sure plenty of viewers get turned on by the likes of Keijo, Food Wars, and whatnot. But if that's what you're going for then you gotta have something on the side to keep your show afloat, and not just emulate the same experience you can get from at sexy posters.

Apparently you don't know as much as you thought.
Without getting into the debate of ecchi as a genre or not, ecchi is not "simply" light sexual tones/innuendoes for comedy. Granted, many times it is used for comedy, but it is not limited to that.
take for instance Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita. Pushing ecchi to the limits and literally riding the line of hentai. None of the ecchi scenes were for comedy.

Testament is nowhere even close to being "full-blown" porn, if anything, the above-mentioned show would be.
With Testament, the ecchi scenes are mostly on purpose, rather than the common "accidental" viewing/fondling often used.
Due to the succubus pact, to put it plainly, Mio has to be brought to the heights of arousal/orgasm whenever she rebels/disobeys her master, in order to alleviate the effects of the curse.
In standard fare hentai, she'd be given a dose of the D, but in Testament they don't go that far, and accomplish the same end result with foreplay.. things like fondling, caressing or sucking.
There's nothing "insulting" about it.

it's less important about what they're wearing and what's more important is how it's shown and how much detail is in it, different girls wear different kinds of panties and all and it'd be weird for some girls to be wearing lingerie under every day clothes, though that depends largely on their personality and stuff but that's a whole different diatribe

like what i'm saying is that I'd call this one:



much better than this one:



and even if the top one stayed the same, while you changed the bottom one to lingerie but kept everything else the same, i'd argue that the top one would still be the better shot

I'm sort of the middle ground with ecchi honestly.

Sometimes, I would watch an a show with ecchi elements (Food Wars, Kill la Kill, etc) but I would be more focused on it's plot instead and the ecchi would be afterthought. So if anything I don't consider them as true ecchi

At the same time, I would watch extreme ecchi shows and b aroused by them. In order to aroused by them, it has to be convincing and honest (Kiss X Sis, Highschool DxD). However, if that's the only thing that is going for then what's the point of watching it, just watch hentai.

I think the problem with ecchi anime nowadays is that it's very low quality, like the creators didn't put any effort in making the anime. Take Hajimete no Gal for example. I know many people loved it but the art and animation was really bare bones, almost like it was from a bad hentai. It was hard for me to find that anime erotic when the characters were so badly drawn. If you compare that anime to a ecchi anime like Seikon no Qwaser or Monster Musume, you'll see that Hajimete no Gal was a very low quality ecchi anime. At least the upcoming season of High School DxD looks like it has decent animation, despite having different art.

the "issues" you named are the things people like me like.. you're basically saying you want more borderline hentai ecchi, which not everyone wants. for many, seeing an ass fill 1/2 the screen out of nowhere in an anime is hotter than a hentai where you expect that kind of stuff

same with pantyshots, boob jiggles, etc.. some people are far more turned on by surprise factor or teasing, which is one of the main things ecchi tends to play on, not everyone cares about self insert

Interesting. I never thought of panty shots in that way.
Still, white panties aren't really my thing.
It doesn't have to be lingerie. A plain, purple pantsu, perfectly hits the line between being fabulous, cute, and sexy.

Ecchi anime can put licking fetishes, s&m, other things.
I read at least 2 hours of hentai manga every day.

Because I want variety in ecchi TOO!
Ecchi doesn't have to go full-blown s&m and so on.

In ecchi, I want to see more of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRzVeJhAea8

It is simple, yet erotic.
It is arousing, yet elegant.
I can jerk off to it, while admiring just how sexy it is, the way a painter admires a masterpiece.

They're made for different reasons and while many may enjoy both many others will stick to one and look down on the people who only consume the other.

I'm not much of an ecchi fan but I can say for certain that there have been a lot of ecchi anime I've enjoyed because they didn't go that far. They go far enough to give you an erection and that's all the fanservice scenes really need to do. After that you can just sit back and enjoy the hot girls doing hot things around the average looking guy you know is meant to be a stand-in for yourself. After all, ecchi isn't just watered down hentai, it has a lot of substance that you simply can't find in hentai.

Some like milk in their coffee, others prefer cream and someone who prefers cream shouldn't be thinking "milk is fine, but half and half is the only real way to go if you aren't drinking it with full cream". Ecchi doesn't need to be closer to the "real thing", it is its own thing. People will even complain when ecchi anime go too far. Just let people like what they like or ask for recommendations on borderline hentai anime when you want something in between.

I think I've seen the actual problem with Ecchi/fanservice threads already given that, well I've seen it almost every week since I was active.

Anyway, anyway aside from that; the actual problem with Ecchi anime in general is probably those users that expect too much of +2dee6me plot or some +good characterization bullshit, so to sum it up; pretty much it I guess :/

I summon thee @EcchiKingMamster to blow up this thread into pieces; likely @Manaban will also enjoy this one xD
Ehh... @SuperRed and @Illyricus?

Ohhh well, my job is done here.... Hope you enjoy the thread everyone!

Ehhh... The previous "Ecchi/fanservice" thread around last week is pretty much a good TL;DR if you ask me.

As far as I know, ecchi is simply a genre comprised of light sexual tones and/or innuendoes, usually for comedy purposes. Take a look at Keijo, Food Wars, and Kill la Kill. They don't try to arouse the viewer, but rather create a unique and balls to the wall experience you won't get from other genres, especially hentai.

The REAL problem with ecchi in my eyes is that too many shows are made in such a way that they might as well just go full hentai. An example of this would be Something-something Testament or whatever the hell it's called. Honestly, that show is pretty much full-blown porn with an ecchi tag slapped on it, and is just downright insulting as a result. In those cases, you really are better off watching hentai, no questions asked.


@Darek Wait, what? I...don't understand. What am I starting? ._.
I don't think you're watching ecchi for the same reason as most of the people here, and I think everyone has a different idea of "the real problem" if they do have a problem with it. For me, it's not hot most of the time. Take monogatari fan service, pack into a higher density and make it more explicit while still retaining it's quality and boom, quality ecchi right there. The real problem with ecchi is the same problem with nearly everything, most of it's bad. How many terrible sitcoms or battle shonens have you seen? More specific to ecchi I'd agree with OP that's not explicit enough. Panty shots are boring.

The problem is the elitists only focusing on the fan service and not the plot, therefore making them say there is no plot to the story.

Well let's be real, in many cases the so-called plot of an ecchi anime just feels like something thrown in so that the author can say "t-there's so much more than just tits and asses in my manga, I promise" whenever the SJWs come knocking. They're very rarely what you actually watch the show for, and a lot of the time I just wish whatever serious elements the story may have would disappear altogether and be replaced by more ecchi scenes as that's clearly the real selling point of the show

Not saying that ecchi anime can't have good stories though because there are some cases of that (like No Game No Life for example) but it's not super common

i feel like Ecchi is more like an extra you know, not a content.
