Should ecchi anime have nudity? Or should they just have revealing outfits?

(I classify nudity as seeing nipples and having nothing covering breast area)

Should ecchi go all the way in showing the characters actually be naked or should they just have as little clothing as possible?

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Ecchi should have a lot of things to finally be good tbh.
I'd love to see more adult women, who also don't scream and be ashamed every time a guy sees a cm² of her breasts.

And it should have less of the virginity-fetish Japan has and actual sex scenes (even if not fully shown) and less pubertal panty shots and wiggling breasts.
So why stop at not covering nudity.

An ecchi show should know when to be nude and when not to be nude.
And revealing outfits can be pretty stupid looking, and hard to justify in universe.
That said I read hentai for the plot.
This one was really emotionally satisfying.

I think the majority should not, but there's nothing wrong with those that do

I'm used to "sun rays" or erect nipples or pantyshots. It tickles the imagination. No nudity

There's nothing they "should" do. They can be whatever they want.

I prefer ecchi anime to have nudity, with huge badonkers and assets. If it hasn't, I won't watch it.

Depends if the original source material had the nudity in it. If it did, then the anime should as well. If it's an original anime, then I'd prefer it to have nudity.

Maybe it's just my european-dutch outlook on things, but i don't find nipples to be that weird to see, especially if it's classified as ecchi. Revealing outfits are a tease, but nipples are the same. I'm used to seeing movies where people are bare-chested. Unpopular opinion: Nudity is entirely undressed, bare-chested is not nudity.

Ecchi is already good as it is, sorry if it doesn't cater to your taste :sip:

it better stimulates your mind when it's hidden though, you may fantasize about it if you like... better than blasting full nude etc ordinarily, i'd say it makes you more creative at times L0l

Some ecchi have nudity in them and others don't. Both are fine with me personally although I do like it when they go all the way and go nude. >▽<

I mean they are being ecchi and not hentai, there's nothing wrong in showing a bit of nudity here and there. I mean it's a sexual genre after all

I'm surprised by the results.

Fanservice exists in many anime that aren't ecchi, so yeah, in the genre that's based on fanservice they should just throw in nude scenes because that's what people want. Their goal is to get you more than just excited

Why shouldn't ecchi show nudity. When action goes as far as to ignore basic physics and body limitations, why can't ecchi do the same in its realm. Hell, I am fine with literal sex on the screen (however genitalia then means it is hentai).

Anything can go. Just be good.

there should be both because variety is always good for any genre.
I probably regret this post by now.

There is no reason an ecchi anime has to be strictly R+, it can be PG-13 perfectly fine (AKA: no exposed nipples).

When I watch an ecchi anime I expect to see female characters in undearwear, or at least bikinis, if I don't get that I start to think the tag is unwarranted.

Oh, and it has to be prominent, present in almost every episode pretty much, recently I watched Midori no hibi and Akane-iro, and I would not consider either one to be deserving of the tag.

At a certain point they might as well go full nipple. Especially for any series that was already getting close to doing so in the first place.

I think both are fine. Not every ecchi anime has to appeal to the same group of people, in fact it would be significantly less valuable if it tried to. 70% of people identify as having fetishes of some sort. There should be ecchi anime with nudity as well as ecchi anime without, since there's going to be people who will prefer one over the other. If there's a significant amount of people who prefer the tease of there never being full nudity and that's never offered to them through ecchi anime then it's not doing its job. I think there's only realistically a handful of ecchi TV anime that do have full nudity just because of what they're allowed to broadcast, but for OVAs and ONAs nudity is fine.

For me personally I prefer just the revealing outfits.

There should me more of nipple shots/frames really. I don't need them showing genitals, I have hentai for that.

If the point of ecchi is to appeal to horny dudes who aren't willing to take the next step and plunge into more risque content then i suppose it probably doesn't really belong in ecchi.

Hentai with plot is good though.
Well, at least Nozoki Ana and What does the Fox say? Mangas were good.

I don't mind nudity in ecchi. Otherwise, what would make it different from standard fanservice? Of course, I know ecchi is about seemingly sexual situations. But if they're going to go that far, then they might as well go all the way.

Yeah I agree. My favorite being Kuroinu and it has a decent story and very hot at that too.
