| Some time ago i watched the first episode of Date a Live mostly because i liked tsunako's character design on the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, and everything seemed ok until the red haired girl started jumping on the MC's bed while flashing her panties on purpose, and after watching the 1st ep it kind of killed my interest for the show and now i'm thinking that DAL, despite not being tagged as an ecchi on MAL, it still going to have some ecchi on the rest of episodes I don't like sudden ecchi scenes on anime not because they may seem sexist or something (i'm female and straight) but because it kills the seriousness in the anime, i can bear with few occasional comedic moments in anime but the sudden ecchi is an overkill to me if anyone's asking, i don't hate ecchi, in fact, Ebichu is the funniest anime i ever watched so far and it's an ecchi anime, and it works because is not supposed to be a serious anime at all |
| I know your PTW list is bigger than your completed list. |
| I don't usually complain about ecchi scenes, but some scenes in Mieruko-chan felt a little awkward and unnecessary. |
 |
| nah, I mean the overbundance of scenes like that in anime is the reason anime gets a bad rap, so it's a majority opinion if anything, in places other than here thankfully there will always be plenty of anime with enough integrity to keep this kind of stuff out of serious stories |

| Depend on the anime. If it's a really bad anime with barely anything good about, then a ecchi scene would maybe be the only saving grace about it. |
 |
| No, you're certainly not the only one who hates ecchi/fanservice in shows that are otherwise not in the least bit expected to have anything lewd in them. It's just a sterotypical trope you'll find in almost any anime regardless of whether it's a serious show or not. Like I can't tell you how many non-ecchi shows I've seen that have had random moments of fanservice in them. Be it a brief panty shot, a boob jiggle or ogle, a character walking in on someone changing, a suggestive angle showing a characters assets or a scene of a character bathing. You're bound to find at least one of these tropes in just about any anime that isn't specifically aimed towards children. Now I like my ecchi/fanservice in anime but I do admit that a random scene that only exists for the sake of fanservice does cause me to either groan or roll my eyes; because it's just not neccessary. |

| A show not having the ecchi tag on MAL doesn't mean anything, it can still have plenty of ecchi scenes. If you want to find serious romance shows without ecchi scenes then avoid the following tags:

| @CrazedRabbit yeah we dont care about the shity opinion of stupid tourists or twitter (x). |
| Personally I hate ecchi with a passion but everyone has their own preferences, so. It just feels like it detracts from a shows seriousness to me. (Although Date a Live looks like an ecchi show anyway so you can't complain if that's what you are watching.) |

| You obviously aren't the only one. Feels like there are about four threads a day expressing a dislike of fanservice, ecchi or other erotic aspects of anime. But I'm actually of the opposite opinion. I think the effectiveness and impact of ecchi is actually amplified in "serious shows", where it's comparative rarity almost makes it a valuable commodity. Ergo Proxy is an ostensibly serious show, for example, but there were a few exercise scenes with Re-L that were both sexy and organic, simply due to how and why they were concocted. |

| @orangeautumnleaf One of my all time faves is Lyrical Nanoha (the first 3 seasons mostly) and in its first season had blink-or-miss fanservice and I could bear that (and I'm talking about an anime whose main character originated from an eroge). |

| You're not the only one, but opinions like this haven't really been taken seriously by most anime fans as they associate it with "tourism"; which is ironic, because I think that if a big part of why you enjoy a medium is that it functions as fap fuel then that's even more degrading to community and even medium itself. Anime at its best does much more than appeal to the sexual lowest common denominator. Anyways, I totally agree that a decent amount of anime is made substantially worse through unjustified libido-exploiting content. That's not to deny that sexuality has always been a part of the medium, but the focus it has gotten is clearly less "artistic dignity" and more "AAARGH IM FUCKING COOMING". It's tiring to watch a cool show and out of nowhere there's borderline softcore porn for literally no good reason. It's lazy and distasteful. It's particularly disappointing in older OVAs as those generally are very unique and artistic, but they are more prone to have that kind of stuff than a contemporary interesting anime. |

I watched wicked city and it's sexual content had more of a serious context to it, whereas in your modern day anime the sudden ecchi is also used as a comedic moment out of nowhere, if id like to watch something with ecchi with it I would prefer that it was completely comedic (just like in ebichu) |

| "girl started jumping on the MC's bed while flashing her panties" Yeah, that was my fastest drop lol. Literally a few seconds in and that was enough to me. Well, if you want to watch a serious show, you just watch a serious show, not a retarded one. No idea why they refuse to add ecchi tag to Monogatari series Date a Live, as well as some other blatant ecchi shows, when it's literally the main focus of the show. |

| I know your PTW list is bigger than your completed list. |
There is different reasons for these things
One needs to keep in mind the Japanese have a different culture so they view things a bit differently so it isnt always easy to spot the intent. For me it only gets annoying if say middle of a fight you get some ass shot taking up the whole screen or other unsexy attempts at sex appeal. And to people who used the word fanservice. It isnt always fanservice and fanservice isnt always sexual. An example of non sexual fanservice would be Lain's bear kigurumi, that was added for moe fanservice. What actually degrades up serious series for me far more is odd timing and overuse of chibi and kaogei (face performance) comedy and often bad comedy at that. Unlike sexual stuff it often interrupts a whole scene's vibe entirely. Classic example is the Hellsing TV series (not the OVA) and some recent examples ive seen is Ragna Crimson and Hametsu no Oukoko. Not that i dislike this all the time just depends the scene usage and timing.

I have to check the manga some time. |

| I agree with your sentiment 100%. A lot of the times these scenes are handled extremely poorly and don't add much or have any substance. Pre-transition I kinda ignored that a lot, but once I came out as trans I started to notice the flaws with how a lot of these sexually explicit scenes are handled. Most of these scenes don't really add anything and just exist for titillation, oftentimes at the expense of the plot, tone, characterization, and agency of the female cast members. A big problem I have with a lot of anime aimed at guys is also that a lot of these ecchi scenes generally rely on "hahaha sexual assault and harassment funny" as a punchline which is uhhhh really bad and kinda feels a bit dehumanizing ngl. I prefer sexual stuff to be consensual if it's implemented unless absolutely necessary to cover the topic of sexual assault and harassment. Like when I watch MHA for example, ever scene with that fucking piece of shit Mineta makes me angry to watch cuz he's just perving on all these women and he's training to be a hero. This guy is acting more like a future rapist, not a fucking hero. I notice a lot of series written by women or for women tend to handle sexual content a lot more tastefully in a way that doesn't detract like a lot of stuff written by guys or for guys tend for. There are excpetions on both ends of course but that is just my obeservation |

 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| Key is not watching Ecchi Shows, then go and complain that they contain Ecchi Scenes. My dude, there are plenty of *serious* Shows around. Shows without anything distracting from the plot. Now, watching something like Date a Live or Neptunia, expecting them to be all mature and serious is kinda weird on your part^^ What did you expect? |

| @Older_than_dirt I can stand comedy in shonen anime such as Naruto and HXH, as long the show doesn't act like it doesn't know if is supposed to be a comedic or a serious show (even worse if it keeps switchng between comedic and serious multiple times in a short period of time) To give a more "easier" way to understand what i'm talking about, is that sudden pointless ecchi scenes kind of ruin my immersion on the anime, especially if it has a share of ecchi scenes throughout the anime's runtime and yet for some reason MAL doesn't want to categorize said anime as an ecchi just because so (also, anyone remembers when MAL overcategorized a good bunch of anime as comedy despite having little of it throughout those anime's runtime?) |

| I feel like in this specific case, it's your own fault. You already had prior knowledge of the artist and their previous works based on the first post. The Neptunia series is full of fanservice. Looking up anything about Date a Live you should be able to tell right away what kind of kind of show it is with the images full of girls and a single generic looking teen guy. It doesn't have ecchi tag but it has the harem tag. Red flags everywhere. Regardless, the show isn't really ecchi, it's way to tame to be, so it won't be tagged as such. I wouldn't categorize it as 'serious' show either. |

The Age rating only mentions "violence and profanity" and nothing about sexual content either so it really gives the viewer going in blind no heads up about the actual content of the series |

| @LSSJ_Gaming Yeah, but that is exactly that -> Your personal stuff^^ Shows shouldn't be censored. Just because you had an issue, that doesn't mean we should only depict morally good characters, in Anime. There are horrible guys featuring in this Series. Actual murderers. But you don't have a problem with them, right? It's that one specific thing that happened to YOU, that is bothering you.... It's not real, my girl. And it doesn't matter which topic. Anything goes, in fiction. It's life. You get to feel uncomfortable, sometimes. Not everything is for everyone. And although I feel sorry for you, I don't think that should impact our entertainment.

| @LSSJ_Gaming Does Date a Live really ever get especially explicit? I wouldnt know for sure because I dropped it at episode 1, but I doubt it. But anyway its pretty obvious at a glance that it's gonna be that kinda show so I can't really empathize with anyone whos shocked by it. |
|
| First of all, was Date a Live supposed to be a serious anime? Thought it was a trashy harem action anime from the beginning? I've only watched the first 2 episodes but those were the vibes I got from it. Secondly, you're not the only one. There's tons of people who stay away from anything containing even a tiny bit of ecchi. Personally, I don't mind, even in "serious" shows. I guess my brain just instinctively shuts itself off whenever one of those scenes come on. |
| @epidemia78 It isn't. The most risque parts are with one character at a lingerie shop with the main character. No nipples or anything. |
