Would adding ecchi to a show you hated improve it, or would you hate it more?

I am curious about this. Is titillation strong enough that it can overcome whatever makes you mad in anime?

I imagine I'd just roll my eyes and move on. Sexy characters can't obscure a bad plot or bad characterization.

It's usually irrelevant, unless the ecchi is badly done, which is in itself a reason to hate a show.

I haven't seen Toradora yet, but it's not garbage, and it already has fanservice.

Plus I have a fetish for girl fights. It has two or three fights.

I think adding ecchi to a show centered around kids would make things a lot worse than it already is.

Assuming it's not on a kids show, then....

In regards to shitty melodramatic scenes, if having ecchi REPLACES those scenes, then that would definitely be a plus. (doesn't necessarily mean it will change the score by +1 or more points)

In regards to shitty weak ass wimpy male main characters, if they're not involved in the ecchi scenes and their time is being replaced by the ecchi scenes, then that is also a plus (doesn't necessarily mean it will change the score by +1 or more points)

In regards to an already ecchi show, if a better ecchi content is replacing the shitty ecchi scenes, then a plus, but that should be obvious

Any other scenes (at the moment that I can think of), ecchi won't help.

Shows I hate can't be saved by ecchi, but it also couldn't make it worse.

If I like the ecchi it'd bolster my opinion of it, definitely, but it wouldn't outright save it and I'd probably still view it negatively at the end of the day.

No... I don't understand the purpose of ecchi when you have hentai.

Ecchi to me is actually a neutral element. It's either plus when I find it used and is reasonable with the character or plot, or it's negative for vice versa. I have to admit, Conception anime and its game - the concept doesn't sit well with me.

Why would my hate decrease by adding ecchi to a show I already hate? Me hating certain shows doesn't even relate to ecchi. So there's no point in anything. Ecchi isn't some additive that if you add, it'd suddenly improve the show. The answer is obviously a no.

The question asked can be transformed into:
Are breasts enough to make you happy?

Personally nope. Good ecchi can make a show better, but it won't save a bad story.

There is definitely someone
Who is happy simply because you are here."

If ecchi elements are introduced as they were shown in Gunbuster OVA, I would not mind it at all, since it was so seamless or felt natural ...did not detract from the experience. Enhanced it rather if I may add.

Ecchi of today is as if the viewer is so dumb that he/she can't tell between a tit or an ass, so there are dedicated panning shots placing an emphasis on them. If it is done like this, it will ruin my enjoyment.

A lot of anime I hate have ecchi, so...
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Ecchi is cockteasing trash. But I feel that if a hentai scene was added to anime like To Love Ru or DxD it'd become a masterpiece.

If it's badly and nonsensically shoehorned in for the sake of appealing to ecchi fans then it can be annoying. But if it's implemented well to the point that it just seems like it's a regular subgenre for the show, it can make it better.

It all really depends on how it's executed for me, I enjoy ecchi but some shows don't implement it well.

Ecchi isn't something that makes me like a show more or less unless it actually adds something other than random boobs. If course, boobs are cool and all but when I'm watching an anime I'm looking for interesting story, characters, themes, etc. Sometimes a character is a sexual character and ecchi is just in their nature, or sometimes the unity is actually important to the story. But like... if I already hate a show, throwing panty shots in there isn't gonna help.

If someone like me, who doesn't really "hate" much hates something then it's got far more serious plot and character issues fanservice alone just couldn't fix.

The other way around would work better. Give a mediocre fantasy/fanservice series like Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody or How Not to Summon a Demon Lord a more interesting overall story and better characters (while keeping the fanservice) and you may have a recipe for success in my book.

I don't care what the fuck would improve it. I already hate that shit, why would I give a fuck? However, a shit-show would be more enjoyable to watch with in place fanservice.

If I "hated" a show (read as purposely planning to never watch it), then just adding ecchi won't make any difference.

Having an ecchi tag may tip the balance in favor of giving a show a try (but doesn't guarantee it) if it was borderline whether it interested me or not.
You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language.

But the girls who would become the eye candy if ecchi were added would be the female characters from the show.
If i hate a show then of course i would hate the female characters on it, if i hate the female characters on it then i dont want to see them unless they are being tortured or some shit.
Therefore i would have to watch the female characters of a show i hate in underwears. So... yeah i would still hate it.

Whats the point of ecchi tough, hentai already exists.

Unless the show has an ecchi tag or doesn't have much tension to begin with. They should NOT do that type of stuff. Not everyone are horn dogs who just want to beat their sticks all the time. Regardless if hated a show. Hell, the show I hated the most IS an ecchi show (and a borderline hentai at that) adding more ecchi than it already has well it mind as well add some genitals at that point.

When has ecchi ever improved any anime? No It would probably make me lower the score since I am not a fan of the ecchi genre.

I think there's a rule now that Anime Discussion requires at least 5 fanservice-related threads per week.

"Now."

Oh man. You don't even know how it's been before with these threads on this board. This, or even just a consistent 5 per week, is infinitely more tolerable to me than some of numbers that's popped up in the past >_>

I think there was that stretch in Fall 2017 that was just straight up fucking insanity inducing? I remember it was around the time I was watching Mononoke. Wasn't the first really big thread spams on this topic, but it was the one I remember the best >_> It's pretty much been an everpresent topic from my experience, though, with the question being along the lines of "to what extent is it present." This has been pretty "meh" lately, at least if you ask me :P

In etchi/harem animes, for example, Haganai, Sekirei, Monster Musume, Rosario Vampire, etc. They should raise the bar higher and have hentai put in it. It would be vanilla hentai, consensual sexual intercourse.

If it's a pretty boring show maybe some ecchi put in the right place may keep the viewers attention, but if the actual quality of the show is in freefall than no you'd have to add something good to save it.

And @Raymond_Bermea in monmusume they sexually assaulted the guy virtually any chance they got
