| There are many ways to do sex scenes and other naughty things, so idk. |

| Hentai is just sex with no story. If there are actual sex scenes as just a part of the story and sex isn't the main focus of the anime, then it's not hentai. The amount of lewdness is irrelevant |

The amount of lewdness is irrelevant Often not much of a story imo, basically just a scenario build up created for the purpose of preparing the viewer for the sex scenes. Other hentai that have a real story, I wouldn't call hentai |

The amount of lewdness is irrelevant If I'm not mistaken, the main distinction between ecchi and hentai is the depiction of genitals, so the amount of 'lewdness' is important. Additionally, there are hentais with fairly well fleshed-out story lines, often better than a lot of anime, so even if sex is not the sole or main focus, it can still be hentai if it is lewd enough. But of course there are some ecchi anime that seem to try to be as lewd as possible without showing genitals and almost feel like hentai. This thread listed below suggests otherwise regarding the depiction of genitals in non-hentai works although I haven't confirmed this personally so idk if it's true. Sometimes hentai can have a better story I agree. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1473472 |
| There's no such thing as too lewd for ecchi if you already watched hentai |

The amount of lewdness is irrelevant Some anime have hentai and censored versions (including cutting entire scenes), such as Kite. If there is graphic sexual intercourse (ie hardcore porn) depicted, then it is hentai by definition regardless of what else happens. |

Yosuga no Sora doesn't show genitals come to think of it, but it's still softcore sex. Genitals is a pretty thin line if you ask me. Non-anime shows like Game of Thrones have full frontal nudity but aren't porn. I think they need to change the standards of what's considered hentai by definition tbh. Giving it the label of hentai so easily makes some people less keen to watch it. |

| Personally Yosuga no Sora is a hentai for me, as with many terrible short smutty anime series that has been coming out in the past few seasons, but based off my own experience, any anime series that doesn't show a clear view of your crotch shot uncensored is not considered a hentai. Still, there's a difference between ecchi R+ series like Sekirei where the ecchi purely goes off on top frontal nudity and ecchi R+ series like Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono deshita where it shows full on penetration in a sex scene, but with mosaics.. |

With genitals and everything unlike Yosuga No Sora and it's aired on TV too. |

| There is no limit, nor should there be. |
 What's the difference? |
 As much as I try not to shit on Queen's Blade because of what redeeming qualities it has, this thread really lends itself to me doing so. More fighting. Less yuri. |

| if i jizzed my pantsu while watching that's probably a bit too much |

They don't show genitals but they show degrees of penetration and it's very obviously sexualized. That said, I pity whatever poor motherfucker watches it as a hentai ._. I really, really feel like it's good at an ecchi tag because the scenes are pretty tame and there's 2 - 3 full episodes of drama and character interaction between each sex scene at that, as opposed to the bits of dialogue usually just giving it some degree of contextualization like you see in hentai. |

What do you mean by "censored version"? You mean Japan's standard censorship of genitals on their pornography or what? |

Tennouji said: What do you mean by "censored version"? You mean Japan's standard censorship of genitals on their pornography or what? This review touches upon the differences between the edited and uncensored versions. (It still has pixelated genitals, as is the norm for most Japanese porn.) |

This review touches upon the differences between the edited and uncensored versions. Oh that. Thanks for clarification. I never knew the censored version was like that. And after doing research on Yosuga No Sora, there are also censored versions as well, such as not showing masturbation, nipples, etc so you're mostly correct. Although it's too hard to judge by these pictures alone. EDIT: Take note that the sexual acts are still implied. |

Lots of ecchi anime have censored versions, including Haganai, Brynhildr In The Darkness, and Sin: Nanatsu No Taizai. Some even redo the scenes, such as having an arm cover up a body part with full animation, whereas the original doesn't. I was surprised Rosario + Vampire was on Netflix uncensored, 'cause it has full nudity. Anyway, all this is separate from whether something is hentai. |

| A'ight. We might need to make a more exclusive and exhaustive working definition of the hentai genre. |

| Hmm...well I guess it would depend on whether or not it falls within my range of fetishes. Shows that didn't really do much for me are things like Eiken, Queen's Blade, and Quasar no Stigma. |

I haven't seen Seikon no Qwaser yet, but every indication is that it's much lewder. |

| In my opinion, if genitalia is getting blurred and/or we see direct penetration, it's crossed the line into hentai territory. |

| I would say explicit sexual acts or stuff that is supposed to look like it even if we don't see any actual genitalia. |
| If penetration is shown in detail it becomes a hentai. |

| if it shows a penis (censored or not) then it probably isn't ecchi anymore |
| I'm guessing most people here still don't watched the seasonal shorts that have been airing every season for the past year or two that are basically hentai but MAL doesn't categorize them as so. This season's would be Joshiochi! which is about a girl falling through the floor above landing with vagina into the guy's penis. No joke, I can't make something this ridiculous up. |
| if it airs on tv, its not hentai 😉 thats how joshiochi got through |
 |
| I hope people aren't serious about just genitalia being shown should be classified as hentai (cultural definition). If so, then Gintama is a hentai because Kondo and ShigeShige are naked in quite a bit of scene. This season's Grand Blue also shows. Dragon Ball shows that and there was no censorship of it at all. In terms of hentai, I would define it as showing penetration on screen, but seeing as how Joshiochi is one of the examples that broke the convention (tagged as ecchi) currently, I don't know what to think anymore. |

jarring said: doesn't hentai just mean perversion? iirc i heard ash say it in banana fish and it was translated as "sick" hentai means something different in Japan, only non-Japanese associate it with anime porn from my understanding, hentai means pervert and ecchi means naughty or dirty. Can't get the actual meaning of the words though because English and Japanese languages are quite different and the meaning of those words change in Japanese culture over time as well. |
AnimePixelz said: I've seen Food Wars! It does contain lewd scenes, I think the entire series LOL. I would have to say hentai border line, e.g showing genitals. this proves youve seen too less ecchi... it shouldnt be tagged as ecchi at all if you compare it with many others in which girls show off their panties and bras every episodes |
| You know what, if it's the reason to watch it then it can go as far as it wants in my book. |
