| I never really understood this. It is that MAL's community has issues with ecchi that don't have a lot of depth? |
 |
| Ecchi tends to be silly so they score it low in comparison to the stuff they like if they like serious stuff. But there are men of culture like ipreferecchi that scores them high. I scored keijo a 9. |
    |
| Ecchi anime tend to have weak/simple plots, nothing extraordinary, many people rate on the basis of plot. |
 |
| Most people in MAL are just in denial. The average user will never admit to liking or enjoying ecchi because they think it somehow degrades their character. I recently watched Prison School which is probably one of the best piece of fiction I've ever seen and got surprised it didn't even manage to break the 8.00 mark when it's arguably the best ecchi anime there is. |
 |
| I suppose most people just kind of find ecchi distasteful because of cultural reasons. Sex is still considered to be somewhat dirty and taboo, so series focusing on titillation don't really appeal that strongly to most people. That said, a lot of echhi doesn't really have good plots. Or plots in general. Or anything apart from tits, really, so... They can be just kind of bad as well. |
 |
| Because people didn't liked them enough to have a higher score |
 |
| I think it pretty much have to do with most ecchi shows focus on the ecchi stuff and forget everything else. They deviate itself from ever having the story, every female character is reduced to sex objects than real people. These are the reasons why I hated ecchi shows like Masou Gauken HxH and Sin:Nanatsu no Taizai (and I consider them my bottom 5 anime of all time). Sure there are some show that can make ecchi interesting like Hensuki and TLR. But stuff like these are few and far between. |
| Maybe to avoid a Boku No Pico sequel. |

| My opinion on this is that ecchi tend to be fillers for an episode. The nature and circumstances of an ecchi scene in general do not affect the plot in any way. I dont mind ecchi itself but they usually tend to spend several minutes on such scenes which kind of breaks the plot continuity that I like to have. They also dont contribute much to the story and sometimes the plot itself is forced in a way to result in such scenes. It cannot be helped that being ecchi itself is the selling point of the anime but I watch it for the plot and fights if any. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| ay man, i love boobs and ass, but if its just that, and it doesnt have good plots and fanservice is all they got, then im sorry but im gonna have to yeet it in the dumpster if i wanted to see some boobs and ass i would have watched a hentai and not wasted my time with trash like that |

| I'm not entirely unconvinced there's not a large amount pre-dispotion at play. "This show is prioritizing sexualization, therefore nothing else is going to be worthwhile." Enter anything with a pre-determined outlook then it's not too difficult to mold your perception around what you've already built it up to be going into it, regardless of whether it's the case or not. You already see that sentiment echoing in the responses in this thread, for what it's worth, all I had to do was look above me. Not like it matters, though. Ecchi has a very dedicated audience on any side of the ocean and we put a lot more into our niche than a lot of other audiences do, let alone the type of people effectively scorebombing it on sites like this, who very likely put absolutely nothing into supporting these works. Dumb criticisms coming from non-fans are more of an annoyance than a threat. Just do you and pay the non-fans little mind on topics like this, unless they prove themselves otherwise individually. Only insane people like me venture out to deal with them, and there's a reason for that. The majority of their complaints and issues hold no bearing on the things that make people who like ecchi actually like it, and often times barely feel critical as much as projecting at that. |

| I think this is just a matter of taste. |
| Jolyne Kuujou + Steel Ball Run Universe = Billie Eillish |
| The Puritan fears the animated tiddy Seriously though, it's astounding how many people feel that it's wrong to like stuff like this or even if they do, refer to it as a guilty pleasure. Since ecchi is usually light and fluffy they take that to mean that there is no substance to be found. That's not to say that all ecchi material should be highly regarded critical material, but that often times isn't given a fair chance. |

| lowkey dont understand why either there r some ecchi anime out there tht i lowkey enjoyed |
| I feel like echi and harem exist to satisfy men's sexual/romantic fantasies so the female characters in those genres exist only for those purposes and are usually stereotypical flat characters with no real personality or desires. Therefore I usually avoid those, knowing I won't like watching them. That being said, on some rare occasions, when the echi is not the focus of the anime, just a by-product of the story - for example, if the story is about adult relationship - then it can be intresting and enjoying to watch. I liked Kill la Kill which was full of echi, for example. I mean I get that this genre have it's fans, but they watch it for a reason and its not to enjoy an intresting story. |
 |
| I think many of them are silly and humorous stuff so they don't have much substance compared to other serious works. There are 739 ecchi titles in the database but when you remove those that are also tagged comedy the number drops down to 209. Take that as you will. Also, this is coming from someone who has watched little to no ecchi so it's merely speculation. Don't get your panties in a bunch, thank you. |

It mainly has to do with ecchi being a more niche taste and thus if you basically let everyone check it out a greater proportion of people are going to find that it's not their thing. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I like ecchi but generally the plots suck. Theres a lot of ecchi that really do deserve higher scores than they have though. |

They deviate itself from ever having the story, every female character is reduced to sex objects than real people. I guess this is a nice thing for those people who are specifically in it for the ecchi, but for those people who aren't, such as myself, the ecchi feels more like a distraction from the actual meat of the show (i.e. the characterization, the plotline, the setting details, etc.). That's why it feels like "objectification" -- because that's what happens when a writer goes "hey we have some female characters let's make them show off some tits and ass just because we can or because we need to fulfill a requirement". If I happen to continue watching the show anyway, it usually "gets better" because the show turns down the ecchiness and puts more time and attention into those other core elements of storytelling. If it were more integrated I think it'd be more enjoyable. |

| As much as I love the genre compared to everything else I watch/read I really haven't seen a mostly ecchi dominated show that I would grade more than an 8 on the other side though I've also rarely given one less than a 5 |

| People don't much rate ecchi shows may be they don't found these shows much interesting or what they want to see. But aside these, I really like ecchi shows and also score them high as a normal anime. |
