My rating for ecchi goes 1-5, 5 being the most serviceable one, and if manages to do a level up to what I wanted, they will be unscored, like To Love-Ru and Sekirei.

Also, it depends, there are ecchi that has some serious business, like Kill la Kill and Punchline. I rate them normally.

I don't rate hentai.

An ecchi show could easily be my favourite if I liked it a lot , you got plenty of examples of Pretty Good shows with ecchi elements , you got Golden Boy , GTO , Monogatari Series , TTGL , Kill la Kill , Gunbuster , Ranma 1/2 , etc.

I don't see Ecchi as a genre but as a part of something so don't know what to say man...

I rate ecchi on the same basis as most other things I watch. And no, shows don't necessarily need an exceptional story if it has other qualities which make the experience worthwhile. Ecchi is no exception to this. If it utilizes those qualities well, then it get a high score from me. This is rarely the case, sadly.

I don't complete hentai, so I don't rate them. Generally the rating won't be as good if I do because the good scenes are too short, the dialogue as they make love is cringey, not enough good scenes, I don't care enough about the characters, and there isn't anything else it's good at.

In terms of ecchi, if they're enjoyable, fun, creative, contain more likeable characters than annoying characters, great ecchi scenes, and the other factors that a great anime would have, then it's most definitely quality material.

This.

I don't like ecchi specifically but I don't disqualify a show on that basis unless the fanservice is just piled on thick and annoys me (e.g. Valkyrie Drive), and it's not the only thing that can annoy me into dropping a show, either (sure, Haganai is ecchi, but I dropped it because I got fed up with the characters, not because it's ecchi).

On the other hand, sometimes a show can have ecchi elements but still be enjoyable (Absolute Duo is an example of this -- despite my almost dropping it early on because it was annoyingly ecchi, and I'm glad I stuck with it nevertheless).

I rate ecchi shows like I rate everything else solely based on my enjoyment and while I tend to give low scores to ecchi shows it's not simply because they are ecchi but rather because shows like that often offer nothing but senseless fanservice.

All Hentai is trash, no exceptions. They're mostly based on rape and harassment. I don't even bother adding them to my list.

Now Ecchi is a bit better as it can actually have a plot like Kill La Kill or Monogatari but again, most of them are complete trash as well like KissxSis. I don't care for Panty-shots, bouncing tits or sexual jokes so I usually go for characters, story and setting. Althought most Ecchi scenes get unecessary and distracting so I tend to avoid the genre all together.

It's always based on the plot.

Then the art style.

I see such as extras and not as genre that why i dont like when there is just sex scenes.
I judge based on everything starting with story and characters.

Example of a good hentai would be Shoujo Sect and good ecchi is Kisxsis.

Just like I do anything else - I just rate by the vague concept of enjoyment :P Anime as a whole can be entertaining in a variety of different ways, and the same applies to ecchi.

Though how much I liked the ecchi itself plays a pretty big part to me as well, of course. Though there's a lot of different ways for an ecchi to be an ecchi, some more subtle than others - can look at DxD and how it rarely goes past showcasing a single girl at a time and focusing on elements like exposure at that. It makes it more accessible and easy to consume than something more scenario driven that focuses on a lot of group shots involving multiple girls at once like TLR does because it's still emphasizing it enough to make it prominent without the same potential for an overflow as well as using it to accentuate the characters individually in most cases as opposed to just being more straight-up about being sexually charged.

I do prefer TLR's scenario-driven, comparatively more group-shot mentality mind you, and just because it doesn't focus on individual characters as much it still uses it to accentuate their appeal really well, but if you really want to dig deeper into differences between ecchi these little things can kind of pile up in terms of what it does and how it does it.

There's also stuff like, say, Sankarea - in the opening part, Rea stumbles and as a result the MC sees her panties. While this could be chalked up to an average fanservice cliche if you look at it in a way that's surface level, how they frame the event happening is more in line with using it to sort of humanize a character that, up until that point, had been presented primarily as this perfect idol-type character. That alongside other elements to her introduction is meant to sort of break that barrier down, and it shows in how it doesn't necessarily focus on the panties themselves as much as the act of falling and her embarrassed reaction afterwards. Simply having something that can be interpreted as being such an element isn't really enough for it to be counted as ecchi, the end goal can generally be further interpreted as what gets the more focus. In the typical anime fall, are they focusing more on the hand landing on the breast and the sort of motion it makes as its being squeezed, or are they just focusing on the fact the fall happened? How long does it last, how much do they focus on the reaction afterwards, so on and so forth.

In the same vein, there's camerawork and the role it plays. Could be like certain areas in Shokugeki where Niku is cooking and they'll position the camera in a way viewing upwards between her legs as she's cooking (ironically this was one of the more fanservicey scenes in that anime and it is the exact thing people complain about and yet its still hoisted as this "how to do an ecchi" because there's a couple of foodgasm scenes that can be interpreted as such, but I digress) but the way they frame shots and how they use it to bring these elements to the forefront is also something that matters a lot. Imaishi's fanservice scenes tend to neglect that and focus primarily on movement, too, if you look at some of the areas in KLK that can be interpreted as much they tend to be very, very emphasizing the movement of these parts and the camerawork tends to be mediocre at best. Which is another way you can do it, but it's definitely not in the school of thought I'd say I support and simply framing a still shot well can draw out a much more sexualized response and simply emphasizing the animation more isn't going to be able to elicit that same level of response in most cases because, well, if you don't angle it well then it's still not really utilizing the ecchi shot itself to the fullest, no matter how much you try to compensate through animation.

Just a few basic things to take into consideration, I guess. I didn't really go too deep into any of them, was more meant to be an overhead, but ye. Ultimately those are some of the more mechanical aspects, for those who are interested in such a thing.

When you put it like this, it comes across more like an ignorant generalization likely being rooted in anecdotal evidence than anything legit. But no, I know for a fact that you're pretty full of shit with this claim and that if you're actually interested or had seen more than a selected handful then you wouldn't treat it as such.

Also, that's not relevant in the slightest to what they said. Maybe if you're trying to assert that it's ironic they claim to like good characters and story and such and then like BnHA, but even then it doesn't exactly say much of anything about why or how they're lacking in quality and instead just comes across as petty dirtflinging because they said something kind of dumb.

It makes you look stupid, basically, and childish at that. You don't have to be that way, man, you can actually explain why you think they're wrong and shit without just taking one of the dumbest routes possible. It isn't that difficult with a lot of these people :>

To be honest, that's fair enough. I was probably just exagerating with that claim- I've watched a lot of Hentai and most of them were indeed based in rape. You are right, I'll try to be more careful with generalizations in the future.

So I just don't rate hentai and I don't really watch ecchi anyways but since I think it still counts as anime, I would probably be more likely to give it a lower score since those kinds of series don't engage me too much

I don't rate hentai at all. But the way I rate echii anime is more or less the same as how I would rate any other anime I watch. I base it on the amount of enjoyment I had watching the series. The more I enjoyed it, the higher the score is, generally. But on shows that are heavily focused on echii, or the story is more episodic in nature, like To-Love Ru, I'm more lenient when I go to score them. Anime like DxD where there is an overarching story and the echii is extra icing on the cake, when I score them I take into consideration the story and character development more often.

I rate them the same as I would any other anime. Ecchi anime generally still have stories to tell and characters to tell them with. It's not like I'm only watching them to jack off. I've barely seen any hentai so I don't really have a rating scale for them, but I've given the ones I've seen a 7, a 1, and a 3 based on what I thought of them (the 3 I actually really enjoyed, it just morally disgusted me. I also didn't really jack of to it).

I rate ecchi how I would any other anime. In general most of it ends up with a slightly lower than average score. In fact it's my lowest rated genre (according to MALgraph), appropriately sitting among genres like harem, mecha and.... action? :/

I don't watch hentai and never will, can't see animated characters that way.

For hentai I'd rate on enjoyment/arousal only for obvious reasons. Since even the good ones wouldn't hold up very well to my normal rating standards.

For Echi, I'd rate the same way I rate any anime, other than hentai, which is on:

Story: Was it good and well written?
Characters: Are they likable, and did they develop
Emotional Impact: Did it make me laugh, cry, etc.
Technical Specs: Animation, music, etc.
The Ending: Did it even have one? Was it conclusive?

Most echi series end in the 6-8 range somewhere, although I probably have a few as 9s too.

I generally rate these genres lower. Because the way they go at 'adding sexiness' annoys me more often than not.

Just rate it by how much you enjoyed it. Or how well it did compared to other anime. Quality. Just whatevs feels right. Your rating, your choice, bro.
