Ecchi shows try hard to be borderline porn, and to make that happen, they usually have to make up incredible stories just to tie together the various fanservice scenes. In the end, it's just a cocktease with a bad plot, so it's no surprise that they get rated lower on average.


That's what it means to be ecchi. Which is very similar to how comedies have to make up ridiculous scenarios and stories in order for the humor to work. The only difference here is people seem to be smart enough to look at a comedy for it's humor but when it comes to ecchi series people loose their minds and watch it expecting the show to focus on story.

Personally idm ecchi shows though iv not seen many anyways, but I think they show boobs n ass at unnecessary times to often...

Do you also bitch about pornos show penises and vaginas too often? Try to think about what you actually watching and realize that them showing TnA is what makes it ecchi. If the shows creators want to make an ecchi show they are going to have to show TnA pretty damn often, even in out of the ordinary situations. I hate going to extremes but think about pornos. They have to insert sex in the most unlikely situations because sex is what the film is based on.

Yh i see ur point but im sure they could first focus on making a good story n then focus on putting in the TnA... since it doesn't matter when the TnA is put in.

and i wasn't really bitchin bout it, a porno u expect to see that stuff almost all the way through it but for a ecchi show it doesn't have to be so much that the viewer grows tired of it. And im not sayin all ecchi shows overdo the TnA stuff. In the end idc lol just made the point cos im trying to say a possible reason for why some people may rate ecchi shows lower... personally i rate them on how good the story is.

Because Ecchi is all about jumping boobies and panty shots.What's so funny about it? if i want to see boobies or panties i can simply google it or search for some arts.Im watching anime for something more than cheap panty shots...though i need to say that for example Ecchi in Sankarea or Tasogare leave a nice feeling, because anime is not about ONLY boobies and getting laid.
Many people are like this, and that's exactly why Ecchi are low rated, in short they are not needed for most of people.There are of course exceptions that love ecchi and find it funny, but i guess it's up to taste...again.

The problem is there are people watching ecchi anime but don't enjoy the ecchi content, it's moronic and counter productive. People that enjoy ecchi content watch ecchi shows for the ecchi just like how people watch pornos for the sex. Ecchi is expected to be there frequently.

Yh i see ur point but im sure they could first focus on making a good story n then focus on putting in the TnA... since it doesn't matter when the TnA is put in.

This would generally make a show that isn't ecchi at all but has some content tacked on, kind of like how One Piece and Detective Conan do it. First and foremost if a show is going to be focusing on ecchi then ecchi is going to have to be very prevalent through out the show.

How about understanding many people opt to watch ecchi anime instead of using some random google search to satisfy their needs. Anime is not a form of entertainment that's limited to just plot-heavy or character driven content. The mircale of diversity means you can watch anime the fits your needs while and avid ecchi fan can also find anime that works for them.

I tried watching High School Girls which is ecchi and I could not get pass the first episode let alone the whole episode. Ecchi to me seems forced like they are just shoving breast and panties in ones face. Honestly the whole genre is just unnecessary.

1) Haters gonna hate, so they'll give out 1s and 2s to shows they dropped after the first couple of episodes because they had too much fanservice of "pedobait" girls under 20, too many pantyshots, one too many boob jiggles, etc.

2) Most people who do like ecchi acknowledge that it's a guilty pleasure, and thus don't give out 9s or 10s to most ecchi anime. So basically, the haters really hate it, and the fans only like it in a 7 or 8 rating range, thus dragging down the averages.

I personally walk into echii expecting something funny. Most of the time it's just panty shots and boobs. You'd think with all the situations the MC will get into, it would be funny, but most are not.

Really, you can put in as many boobs and other perverted stuff you want into it, but at least have one of the following:

Decent comedy
or
Decent story

I'm fine with either one, just as long as one of them is there.

lol wtf are you talking about? Girl's High is very low on the ecchi scale and it focuses on the daily life of girls in an all-girls school. although that allows for many possibilities, not a single episode showed the girls in baths, beaches, hotsprings or w/e. hell, there was even only one short groping scene. The main point of the series is the funny things the Moron Group does, how life is at an all-girls school, and the way the students grow and strengthen their bonds. There is barely any breasts or panties in it. I hate the type of exaggeration in your second sentence. You were too fast to judge, and you obviously haven't watched Seikon no Qwaser to know what real ecchi is.

It's because we can spend our time watching porn rather than wasting our lives on those pathetic cock tease shows.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

I usually only watch ecchi when I'm looking for something to just get a couple laughs out of and not think much of, like after I watch a serious anime. I don't really like it as much anymore though because the stories and jokes are repetitive and I'm straight so I don't get much excitement out of panty shots and jiggling boobs. :P

- Cliche ecchi moments
- Despite not needing a plot, sometimes the plot gets rolling and gets in the way of the ecchi
- Conversely, sometimes there's a legit plot, but the ecchi gets in the way of the plot
- Watching with the wrong expectations

Though, mostly everything has already been said.

I used to not mind them, but they eventually became extremely repetitive and boring that I couldn't handle anymore. The jokes that are used to show boobs and panties aren't very new anymore save for a few exceptions, so I guess it turns people off out of boredom?

Then again, there are those people who know beforehand that the plot might suck ass so go into it not expecting anything, but are okay with it. There's always going to be a genre/whatever that has it's fans and haters though.

i can say the same to you, since i said you were too fast to judge. 'Ecchi to me seems forced like they are just shoving breast and panties in ones face.' retarded much? not even the first episode was heavy on the fan-service. it didn't even have 'breasts shoved in your face' at all. don't be a prude who just copies what others say and learn to make your own opinions based on well-founded facts instead of repeating stupid hyperboles.

Or you could, you know, not watch something you clearly don't like?

The whole purpose of this thread is asking why ecchi is rated low; you're part of the reason why. You watch it and rate it low despite clearly hating it. It's like.. what's the point? Judging from your posts though, you're quite the cynic.

When you compare to everything else it seems that ecchi ones are always rated ''badly'' well not so badly but if like some anime get +8 rating ecchi one has just a bit above rating 7
+ Every manga version seem to have a lot better ratings (ecchi ones) and those ecchi animes don't seem to be even made so badly..

So I wonder why ecchi animes get so ''badly'' rated?

Because most of them aren't very good or at least the consensus is that people think they aren't very good...pretty simple logic :P. That said having ecchi doesn't mean a show can't get really high scores, monogatari for example. Well the reason why monogatari ranks so highly is again because it's fucking great and people recognise that.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

The ratings are skewed by people who view all ecchi as bad/stupid and so give the series a lower score, and also the users who give 9 or 10 to everything are less likely to watch such shows.

Very simple. Some ppl go into ecchi animu expecting some amazing plot or some sht, and then they whine like lil bitches that it had no plot whatsoever and thus the ratings go low.
Its much worse if they actually go into it WHEN THEY HATE ECCHI (ik some ppl who actually do that, they rated almost all ecchi a low score), and then they complain that it sucks, like WHAT THE FUCK??!

People are unable to see the forest for the ...boobs, and can't seem to realize that the show full of lewdness and panty shots can still manage to be a fun one. I seriously think that people who ignore shows like High School of the Dead, Golden Boy and Prison School because of the ecchi are missing out, and I'm sure there are many other good examples. Many of the fans aren't even looking for any sexual gratification out of it, and there are even women declaring their love for certain ecchi shows.

It maybe had good concept, but nothing else. No plot development which was full of holes to begin with and no character development while characters are not only annoying, but aggravating.

Totally. I have no idea what authors were thinking...

Memorable characters! Yeah! I totally recall that!

- generic harem protagonist-kun who protects everyone from zombies as fiercely as he protects his virginity
- a smartass despicable bitch, that you will despise with all your heart from the 1st time she appears on screen
- MC's childhood friend who is there just for shits and giggles
- a loli (because every harem needs a loli) who can... ehh... bring ammo? Also few hours after seeing her dad die is seen cheerful and happy. And you thought Clementine from "The Walking Dead" was mentally tough
- a school nurse. All you need to know is that she has biggest boobs in entire show. Her plot armor is exceptionally tough. And she can drive a car.
- fat nerd who is so full of sperm that is flowing out of him
- a silent pseudo kudere/mysterious/ninja wannabe who is trying way too hard to be badass

You sound like you love to hate this show for whatever reason. No need to agree with me, just remember that your opinion isn't the ultimate truth either.

I personally had fun watching HOTD and I thought the fat gun nut was an awesome character, as was the f'd up murder fetishist Saeko. Also that boob gif you pasted is one of the reasons I keep watching anime to this day, as you simply cannot pull that off with any other medium. But ofc people watch anime for different reasons and not necessarily to experience new strange things like I do. Like I said before, to each their own.

I try to rate ecchi just on entertainment factor. Ecchi generally get low scores from me because most of them aren't entertaining. Take High School DxD. The fanservice was gratuitous as hell, as it should be in an ecchi, but male lead was annoying, and the long fight scenes became repetitive. Story and character may not matter as much in ecchi, but they need to at least be tolerable, and in most ecchi they aren't.

Prison School and To Love Ru are two of the few ecchi I've rated higher than a 6 because they went above and beyond the typical ecchi template. They were both filled with hilarious absurdities that I hadn't seen before, and weren't simply a montage of oppai and pantsu. Neither had terribly deep characters, but I could at least relate with some of them, and give some damn about what they went through.

I remember HotD characters differently.
* Busujima, Saeko. Real Man's character, he wanted to try playing as a woman.
* Miyamoto, Rei. Real Roleplayer's character. Took spear skill even though it's a zombie apocalypse, and spears don't work on zombies.
* Takagi, Saya. Brain's character. She should have been flat-chested, but the author likes big breasts too much.
* Hirano, Kouta. Munchkin's character that maxed out guns even though the game is set in Japan.
* Marikawa, Shizuka. NPC that the GM had to add after he found out nobody could drive a car.
* Maresato, Alice. GM wanted her to get killed to enhance the atmosphere, but the players rescued her anyway.

Hmm... does it leave Loonie playing the main character? I don't care.

You sound like you love to hate this show for whatever reason. No need to agree with me, just remember that your opinion isn't the ultimate truth either.

I personally had fun watching HOTD and I thought the fat gun nut was an awesome character, as was the f'd up murder fetishist Saeko. Also that boob gif you pasted is one of the reasons I keep watching anime to this day, as you simply cannot pull that off with any other medium. But ofc people watch anime for different reasons and not necessarily to experience new strange things like I do. Like I said before, to each their own.


Like I mentioned before I felt insulted. This is literal insult to viewers intelligence.
And the gif I pulled out is the reason I can't for example show anime to my parents.
It maybe so, but I at least saw HOTD as something that never even tries to be smart or deep in any way. It's just honestly and openly what it is: action, boobs, zombies. And it delivers all three, which is why I think it's at least somewhat of a success.

I can't comment much on your 'can't show to my parents' response though. Anime has never been something I share with my family so I've never tried limiting my choices out of shame. If you're looking for shows that the whole family can watch then anything related to ecchi/hentai is obviously not suitable.

Look anon, the fact that you liked HotD doesn't make it good. I like South Park and you don't see me defending that piece of garabage.

There are things like character development, plot development, cohesive argument and many other stuffs that make any kind of story good... and that HotD lacks.

I liked it as well when i watched it fiest, but after some years i rewatched it and i realized that it was, for lack of a better word, crap. It's just a mountain of jiggly tits, pantyshots, big asses and some zombies.

I seriously think that people who ignore shows like High School of the Dead, Golden Boy and Prison School because of the ecchi are missing out

^HotD isn't a masterpiece but that's not what it tries to be either. It's still better than DxD.

As far as I know, ecchi is usually rated low because the genre doesn't tend to have a very deep story or characters and only offers fanservice to the viewer. As a person, I don't like ecchi THAT much unless is realized in creative ways (Prison School) or in an over the top way (HOTD, Prison School again...), so I don't care very much on the matter.

You defined perfectly the reason why I liked HOTD. It doesn't try to offer more than boobs, action and zombies. You can like it or not, but at least it's honest with itself, and I appreciate that.

Btw, the main character of HOTD must be one of the most decent main characters of the ecchi genre, seriously.

I don't get the mentality 'I enjoyed it but it's labelled as garbage so it must be garbage'. You do you. You like South Park so it's a good show to you. I like HOTD, and South Park too, so to me they're decent shows.

Besides, all entertainment has different target groups they cater to, different strengths and weaknesses, etc. Very few shows manage to please everyone, and shows like HOTD or South Park never even try to. Those who are into action and ecchi may possibly find HOTD fun. In a series focused on smashing zombies and showing pretty girls in freaky situations, such things as character development and plot are only optional. And whether the show is 'good' or not depends on completely different things, like pacing, animation, special effects, 'creative' POV angles and so on.
