| Like with J.C.Staff and Ikkitousen. Why have mainstream studios stopped animating glorious degeneracy? |
   |
| You know why. The SJWs are ever-present. |
| Because when you get big you can choose in what to work. |
 |
| "Due to the current interpretation of Article 175 of the Criminal Code of Japan, which forbids distributing "indecent" materials, it is believed that most pornography in Japan must be at least partially censored." Might be a factor. And also might have to do with the shifting demographic and interest, people just aren't as interested in glorious violence as they used to be. |

| Because fetishes evolved and now what we want is horse idol and zombie idol. |
| Yeah, someone also explain to me how Arms started as a hentai studio but converted to ecchi in 2004. ...Though I can probably answer my own question with "because the TV series became more popular and in turn more profitable," probably the same for other studios since big anime titties aren't as poppin' as they were when Yoko Littner hit the scene. |
 |
| Censorship, loss of public interest, people don’t tend to be as shocked by this stuff anymore. PG-13 sells better than R, yknow? |
 |
| Like others said, I think these stuff don't sell as much as they did back in the day. Arms is still making top class ecchi but with long intervals, the new ikkitousen was nice. JC Staff made Prison School but it was censored on tv, the BD looks delicious though. |

Might be a factor. Is that the one where it was an old law that wasn't really enforced anymore? Then someone brought a case citing that law, with the outcome was that fully uncensored hentai was found in violation. Up until then there was a lot of fully uncensored hentai but since then they've had to use mosaic/"blocky" censorship on certain body parts. |

| Due to involve of too much nudity,it decreases ratings of anime.Sometimes better animes with little ecchi lose their popularity. |

IpreferEcchi said: Like with J.C.Staff and Ikkitousen. Why have mainstream studios stopped animating glorious degeneracy? Japan passed some BS censorship bill called the Youth Protection Act is what happened. It made stricter laws for TV censorship and put series with high echhi content out of sight with the porn in stores. Companies just haven't been adapting very many of those types of works after that. Probably because it's a time-consuming pain to cut both a censored and uncensored version of a show. This also affected manga. |

I noticed the same thing, though: There seems to be less fanservice/pantyshots/nudity in present-day anime than in early-2000s or 90s anime. Apart from the Youth Protection Act, it may be that toned-down ecchiness increases commercial success nowadays, because of a certain tendency towards "wholesomeness" which is common today. |
| Less demand, more money elsewhere, stricter TV regulations/censorship laws. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
filmtoaster2 said: Pullman said: Less demand, more money elsewhere, stricter TV regulations/censorship laws. Is there less demand? If there was such a strong demand for nudity in TV anime, you don't think the many, many, many struggling studios flailing about due to money problems wouldn't have exploited the shit out of that demand by now? If desperate studios aren't desperately doing a thing, it's because that thing doesn't make money. On a completely unrelated note, your avatar reminds me: I wish Mystery Girlfriend X didn't have the weird off-putting saliva thing at the center of its premise, because it otherwise looks like a fun series and Urabe's character design is 10/10. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

[/quote] Trust me it's still worth checking out even if the saliva thing doesn't do anything for you (it doesn't for me either) because the saliva thing is actually used to further the character development and themes rather than being a simple gimmick to distinguish the show from other series. Also Urabe's character design, voice and personality are indeed all 10/10 and would carry the show if she had to but thankfully she doesn't. Of course it's still not for everyone but if you like the character design that much then I'd say still give it a chance. |
| I know it's only one example, but there's the Strike the Blood III OVA which has nudity in practically all of the episodes. |

I'm going to get shit for this like I do whenever I express this opinion, but I've never understood the strange obsession with keeping the notion of sex hidden from people under a certain age. Like, sure, best not to show extreme stuff to actual kids, like before they've even started to develop sexually. If only because it could confuse them and sexual maturation should happen more naturally I feel. But teenage adolescents aren't ignorant of sex, and they know the difference between extreme depitctions, and those which are realistic to the majority of normal relationships. I hear stuff like "they'll think all girls like being spanked, or do anal or [insert other non-vanilla practise]" and I'm like... No. They won't. They don't. People will also say that they'll develop crazy fetishes and demand certain acts from their partners. Umm, how many adults are there who jerk off to the most depraved shit and then go and have normal, vanilla sex with their partner? Tons. I was one of those people (quite a while ago lol). The same people will say violent content is fine to show 12 year olds when it's "fantasy violence" .... Ummm, hello? Double standards for violence and sex as usual. But here's the real thing that gets me. 90% of the time we're not talking about depictions of sex, but general nudity. The gaming industry has a huge issue with sex-negative attitudes right now, where no one has a problem with the most insanely violent shit, but put a titty in your video game and people are suddenly worried about the children. Are you fucking kidding me? I think a lot of these attitudes come from the the general sex-negativity that permeates the west and I worry is spreading to Japan. It's this notion that sex is not only shameful and morally grey, but almost like a form of violence. It's insane. |

phantom346 said: You know why. The SJWs are ever-present. It's the opposite. It's the "think of the children" politicians who are censoring anime tiddies on TV. If you were talking about video games, I would agree with you. Also moe blobs, idols and other cute crap became more popular somewhere in the late 2000s early 2010s. |
| Because in today's era, moe is preferred more than intense nudity. |
