So you do not get the concept of sex sells?

AMBITZZ said:
But why would you like seeing an ANIME of just ladies showing their oppai and thighs and what not?
Because it's satisfying.

AMBITZZ said:
I mean, the point I'm tryna make is that why don't these ecchi fans just straight up watch hentai?
Because most hentai are low budget trash with eyecancer pixelation.

AMBITZZ said:
Jokes aside, do (if yes, why) people even like JUST ecchi, ignoring all other elements paired with it in any anime?
Because the main purpose of most ecchi shows is to enjoy the ecchi scenes.

I appreciate the art, that's why I like ecchi over hentai..
Hentai is just boring low cost productions, it has no meaning behind the plots.

Yes. I'm one of them. Many people like ecchi for different reasons. Like for example I'm a gay huge ecchi fan with a very strong libido. You wonder why a gay dude enjoy an Anime which clearly shows female characters showing their oppai and thighs but you forget most ecchi series also show male characters in similar positions especially female characters doing things to male characters and I love it since I'm very attracted to male characters besides most yaoi series are ecchi by default. In fact, ecchi despite being known as being popular for and by straight males, it has nothing to do with sexuality or the viewer being male like for example Redo of Healer was very popular among females. So yes, ecchi is the main and in most cases only reason I'm an ecchi fan. Ecchi is just playfully sexual actions. For me, to like an ecchi shows they must have:

-acceptable male MC character design: this is the most basic aspect for me to enjoy an ecchi show. I'm not really picky in this aspect I can consider quite hot male ecchi MCs considered generic-looking like Sora no Otoshimono male MC, Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo male MC, KissXSiS male MC for example. Male MC I don't like their design are Asobi ni Iku yo! male MC, Ishuzoku Reviewers male MC for example, MT male MC (this is the only ecchi show I enjoy even if I don't like Rudeus design).

-fanservice of male characters in ecchi shows which outside yaoi is different from the average ecchi show. Shingeki no Souma, KissXSis, Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo and Renai Flops are the most obvious ones. Like they show male characters naked with some even butt exposed or even with erections. Male straight ecchi fans cleary self-insert into such male characters, that's why they don't mind male nudity in ecchi shows, meanwhile as a gay ecchi fan, I'm very attracted to such male characters in ecchi shows. Some gays older than me didn't have much NSFW material of male characters online and besides yaoi they either watch ecchi shows which contain male characters put in NSFW situations by the female characters, heck they even watch straight hentai for the male MC only. Idk if they also self-insert into female characters from ecchi shows, at least for me I never did it since I'm a man myself. To be fair, it isn't weird being gay and being an ecchi fan (non-yaoi) since straight male watchers are only attracted to the female character, not to the male one which they self-insert. I only watch ecchi shows for male characters.

Yes, we watch hentai too which applies the same logic I say with ecchi with the same results with the diffence they are shorter and we just want to watch the PLOT quickly and more explicit, you know what I'm saying lol. I felt ecchi shows are more complete since they are more obvious in incluiding sexual themes into an Anime with other genres being still there.

All Anime has some sort sexual innuendo intentional or not with the next level being fanservice in non-ecchi shows (which fanservice is really ecchi itself but not enought to be tagged as an ecchi show), then ecchi and finally hentai (with a subclassification between the normal Ecchi and Hentai called Erotica which would be hardcore ecchi shows but they are not hentai). If it was for me, I'll put tag more Anime as ecchi, in general 70% of Anime is ecchi at very least, that's why some people complain about fanservice even if the ecchi is the most important thing in an Anime and it what makes it unique unlike other animation medium. I think the user IpreferEcchi explained better why ecchi has many fans since "Ecchi is integrating sexy things into everyday situations" besides I want to add its even longer than hentai shows which also has a slighty different objective in mind.

In BL (I'm fundashi too), besides having ecchi elements, we have a similar classification with soft yaoi or shounen-ai (sometimes shounen-ai being being below soft) which they focus on romance over explicit sexual content, normal yaoi which contain both elements at the same level and hard yaoi which its more explicit sex and little to none romance (generally more taboo topics found here from your average hentai like rape, explicit incest, adultxunderage characters for example). All yaoi have either ecchi especially the normal and hard one and fanservice especially the soft and normal one. Yaoi Hentai is always in hard yaoi. Hard Yaoi tend to me more diverse than the normal and soft Yaoi since you can have male characters a bit more toned (not the point of being Bara) yet bishounen faces at the same time. I enjoy all types of Yaoi depending of my mood but since I have a strong libido I tend to enjoy more the most hardcore ones.

Thanks for reading.

Why not both, I mean seriously, why not both? However, hentai's animation is indeed looking particular ghetto recently it would be nice improve the standards of quality there so it at least looks as good as past works.

Most ecchi is just a genre of sex comedy. In fact the intent isnt actually simply to arouse the audience it is just using embarrassment as a gag. Other than that the plots dont require a lot of deep thought so it is just something someone would zone out to.

Eroge > Ecchi manga/anime > Doujins > Hentai

Eroge - I like a good mix of well written stories/characters with sex/nudity, and eroge gives you both of those things. Most people think you can't have porn with good plot, but that simply isn't true. Eroge allows story tellers to be able to tell deeply compelling stories, without shying away from sex, which is a deeply intrinsic part of human society. And sex can be a fascinating story element to explore, ether for the sex itself, of simply how it affects the characters/relationships in the story.

I've always said for example, I think my dress up darling would be a far more interesting show if the two characters had actually gone all the way and had sex in the love hotel, rather than getting interrupted. Seeing how that spur of the moment sexual encounter would have changed their relationship dynamic, how they would each process and deal with it, would have added a wonderful new layer to the storytelling.

These are the type of stories that you see in eroge, that very rarely get brought up in anime.

Ecchi manga/Anime - I enjoy these again, for relationships and comedy. Ecchi anime is always going to have more developed stories then Hentai on average (there are always exceptions). There are very few "pure" ecchi out there. I can't think of a single one of the top of my head that doesn't have some other aspect too it then just "boobs" There is romance ecchi, comedy ecchi, battle ecchi etc. Which means there is story and reason behind when the ecchi happens. Which is what I enjoy. It's either going to make me laugh, or it's going to get my invested in the character relationships, and on some occasions even have genuinely interesting plots.

Doujins/Hentai - More often than not, these are pure sex, with very little build up or story. (again, exceptions exist, I can think of a few that have actual good plot, despite being nonstop sex) I don't dislike them, and they are good for when I'm just in the mood for a quick release, but I never seek them out unless I am actively in that kind of mood, unlike Eroge/Ecchi, whcih I will watch/read even if I'm not in that kind of mood.

@Zakatsuki_ So you're complaining about someone getting rightfully banned for targeting a group of fans here? Mind you, 90% of the time those people getting banned are calling loli fans pedo over and over or just saying shit like they'd wanna actually do something to real kids. Might want to include context to your post instead of saying you'll get banned just for stating you don't like loli stuff.

I just simply do not get the concept of liking an anime purely for the ecchi in it. I mean, most ecchi is just implemented as secondary along some other primary plot (correct me if I am wrong tho), or is just a whole lot of fanservice in a serious show. But liking fanservice is way different than liking ecchi, according to me. Like, people enjoy the fanservice in One Piece, for example, but it's not like they treat it as if that is all there is to it. But why would you like seeing an ANIME of just ladies showing their oppai and thighs and what not? I mean, the point I'm tryna make is that why don't these ecchi fans just straight up watch hentai? Do their parents not allow it to them or something? Why do they like to edge themselves like that lol? Jokes aside, do (if yes, why) people even like JUST ecchi, ignoring all other elements paired with it in any anime?


I normally do not take time away to answer People like you, but I will make an exception because you are a sublimal edgy something.

Now only to your post and 1 or 2 answers in that Thread:
AMBITZZ said:

For what Reason are you adding "these"? Like if they are some subhumans.
AMBITZZ said:
"Do their parents not allow it to them or something? Why do they like to edge themselves like that lol? Jokes aside"

Once again you say something negative about People who like Ecchi by literally calling them all childs and edgy. By the way calling something a joke doesn't make it right to target/insult People, but that's something you learn with a certain age <- see what I did there?

That is just your initial statement where you don't target anybody but you actually did so 3 times within like 5 sentences.

Then you proceeded with calling the first anti Ecchi post the finally first decent reply.

Then you think that you are something better and can reject answers in a public forum with again a little insult included lol.

AMBITZZ said:

And that was the final nail in the coffin, which made me actually report you and type that reply, because that was your intention all along, to trigger People and calling them something.
I absolutely understand People trolling, it can be fun it can be relaxing, you can let a bit steam off.
But what you are doing is a different kind of trolling, it is the sad wannabe smart, sublimal one, being an attention seeking edge-lord (<- no pun intended) who is contradicting himself.

I know how People like you are functioning and it makes me sad to witness it kinda live.
Wish you all the best for your exams, heads up and stop being a jerk.

Ps: Yes English is not my native language, just saying because People like you use that as first thing in a reply :-)

People enjoy different things in anime, and ecchi is no different. Some like it for the humor, the lightheartedness, or just the playful vibe, not necessarily because they want full-on hentai. It’s kinda like preferring a flirty rom-com over an explicit movie. Everyone has their own tastes, and as long as they’re having fun, its all good no need to judge what others enjoy.

First of all, if that is the case, then you should NOT have taken your oh-so-precious time away to respond, that too with a long ahh rant.
Secondly, when you say "People like you", are YOU not 'belittling someone you have no clue about'?

EcchiOtakuGal said:

Using that phrase "does not make you in the slightest any bigger/better/cooler". Hope you apply the ideals that you make for others to yourself as well.

EcchiOtakuGal said:

Yeah and? Like what are you even trying to say? The two people I tagged are two of the/the most prominent ecchi fans on MAL. I took my precautions and declared this post being not targeted towards anybody, for if someone had the holy vision to perceive it like that (turns out a shit ton of people do.)

And about the 'chronical' part, what is true is true. If they are always active on forums and reply to pretty much every single thread, why would I not call them chronically online? And what makes you assume I mean that in a bad way -_-? And either way, why are YOU taking the (inexistent) offense when the tagged people themselves (but obviously) didn't? You ain't no agent of justice or something 😭.

EcchiOtakuGal said:
For what Reason are you adding "these"? Like if they are some subhumans.

Dawg. Where are you even heading with this actual bullshit 😭😭? Like nah dude, I have no words. If you are going to have problems with my absolutely normal and harmless sentence construction, so be it. What difference does it even make if I add these or those or that or literally anything or nothing at all? The meaning remains the same lmao. This pretentious wokeness isn't benefitting you in any way whatsoever dear lord and savior. This statement of yours just seems attention-seeking and nothing else lol.

EcchiOtakuGal said:
Once again you say something negative about People who like Ecchi by literally calling them all childs and edgy.

I mean sure, if you consider being called a 'child' as 'offensive', yeah I guess. But, I didn't call anybody a child('literally'). I mean ignoring the fact that being called a child is in no way 'negative' or offensive (holy vision strikes back), how does saying "parents don't allow" equal calling someone a child? Do adults not have parents or something? Are you a little devoid of common sense?
Moreover, when did I EVER fucking call them "edgy"? Now you're just making shit up.

EcchiOtakuGal said:
By the way calling something a joke doesn't make it right to target/insult People, but that's something you learn with a certain age

Welcome to the internet baby. First day here? "certain age" Well I guess I am 'literally' a child 🤡. Also, are you not "belittling someone" again?

EcchiOtakuGal said:
see what I did there?

No; no I didn't, coolest guy at the party, and I don't even want to. But you know, even making fun indirectly "doesn't make it right to target/insult people".

EcchiOtakuGal said:
Then you proceeded with calling the first anti Ecchi post the finally first decent reply.

Yeah so? Why are you gaslighting yourself into believing that I am propagandizing "anti-Ecchi-ism" or something? Did you even bother to read the earlier replies? Also, if I find something decent, that is my opinion. And if I say it out loud on a platform made for expressing one's opinions, I don't see anything wrong with that. Also, that was a totally neutral reply. He did NOT say anything offensive at all.

EcchiOtakuGal said:
Then you think that you are something better and can reject answers in a public forum with again a little insult included lol.

Did I ever mention that I am "better"? Also, me "rejecting" it on a PUBLIC forum doesn't even matter. "Little insult" so you think that isn't okay but the guy calling me an "absolute fucking retard" is? That's totally fair and unbiased frfr ong.

EcchiOtakuGal said:
And that was the final nail in the coffin, which made me actually report you and type that reply, because that was your intention all along, to trigger People and calling them something.

Oh god. Well, thank you so much for reporting me. Another QUESTION I have for you: Do you possess elementary-level reading, observing and comprehensive skills? (clear question mark there). Because a normal person wouldn't be extracting shit like this outta nowhere. Maybe that explains why you're a "Loner". "made me report" sure, brand ambassador of the snowflake generation, lord of all prissies, sweet and delicate little princess. How do you even thrive in the real world dude? You're the type of person who is a 'pick-me' and a prime example of a practicing sadfisher.

EcchiOtakuGal said:

nobody's getting sad here, get a life, "wannabe" over sympathizer. Wdyem no pun intended? There IS NO pun to begin with, wannabe smartass funny guy. (🤡 - you rn). And if I am indeed being an attention seeker, you aren't any less of one.

EcchiOtakuGal said:

I would love to say "womp womp" but I don't want to trigger your explosive over-sensitive ahh anymore.

EcchiOtakuGal said:

Again, "People like you". Trust me, if you consider me human trash, you are the same too.




All in all, half of your reply doesn't even make sense. You yourself are an attention seeking edgelord lol. In that entire thing, you're just making blind assumptions and pulling things out of your ahh, making a clown of yourself. If anything, either you enjoy provoking people and gaining attention on the internet, or you're just a thin-skinned, hypersensitive prissy. And also either way, I feel sorry for you. I wouldn't want a miserable existence like that.

There you go. That's my reply. I hope your soul is satisfied. I could've said a LOT more but unfortunately I enjoy neither yapping endlessly nor taking too much time off for replying to "People like you".
Have a good day.

Most ecchi is just a genre of sex comedy. In fact the intent isnt actually simply to arouse the audience it is just using embarrassment as a gag. Other than that the plots dont require a lot of deep thought so it is just something someone would zone out to.

Why not both, I mean seriously, why not both? However, hentai's animation is indeed looking particular ghetto recently it would be nice improve the standards of quality there so it at least looks as good as past works.

I appreciate the art, that's why I like ecchi over hentai..
Hentai is just boring low cost productions, it has no meaning behind the plots.

-acceptable male MC character design: this is the most basic aspect for me to enjoy an ecchi show. I'm not really picky in this aspect I can consider quite hot male ecchi MCs considered generic-looking like Sora no Otoshimono male MC, Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo male MC, KissXSiS male MC for example. Male MC I don't like their design are Asobi ni Iku yo! male MC, Ishuzoku Reviewers male MC for example, MT male MC (this is the only ecchi show I enjoy even if I don't like Rudeus design).

-fanservice of male characters in ecchi shows which outside yaoi is different from the average ecchi show. Shingeki no Souma, KissXSis, Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo and Renai Flops are the most obvious ones. Like they show male characters naked with some even butt exposed or even with erections. Male straight ecchi fans cleary self-insert into such male characters, that's why they don't mind male nudity in ecchi shows, meanwhile as a gay ecchi fan, I'm very attracted to such male characters in ecchi shows. Some gays older than me didn't have much NSFW material of male characters online and besides yaoi they either watch ecchi shows which contain male characters put in NSFW situations by the female characters, heck they even watch straight hentai for the male MC only. Idk if they also self-insert into female characters from ecchi shows, at least for me I never did it since I'm a man myself. To be fair, it isn't weird being gay and being an ecchi fan (non-yaoi) since straight male watchers are only attracted to the female character, not to the male one which they self-insert. I only watch ecchi shows for male characters.

Temple was kind of like that too. The MC wound up naked a few times while the girls didnt so much.

In general, I don’t understand love exclusively for one genre, ignoring everything else. Of course, there is no arguing about taste, but I get simply tired of even watching shows in my favorite genres.
