Unequivocally do believe that this is correct, first let me begin with ecchi anime...
The correct transcription of the word エッチ in Hepburn notation is "etchi". However, it is typically written as "ecchi" in the Western world.
In the word hentai (変態), the first kanji hen refers to strangeness or weird, and the second kanji tai refers to a condition or state. Hentai was introduced in the Meiji period as a term for change of form or transformation in science and psychology. In this context, it was used to refer to disorders such as hysteria or to describe paranormal phenomena like hypnosis or telepathy. Slowly, the meaning expanded until it had the meaning of non-standard. In the 1910s, it was used in sexology in the compound expression "hentai seiyoku" (変態性欲, abnormal sexual desire, which is rephrased as "sexual perversion" in modern times) and became popular within the theory of sexual deviance (Hentai seiyoku ron), published by Eiji Habuto and Jun'ichirō Sawada in 1915. In the 1920s, many publications dealt with deviant sexual desires and the Ero Guro Nansensu movement. Matsuzawa calls it a period characterized by a "hentai boom". In the 1930s, censorship became more common leading to fewer books being published on this theme.
After the Second World War, in the 1950s, interest in hentai was renewed, and people would sometimes refer to it just by the first English letter, H (pronounced as エッチ, /eɪtʃ/). In 1952, the magazine Shukan Asahi reported that a woman who was groped by a stranger in a movie theater reacted with "ara etchi yo" ("hey, that's perverse"). In this context, etchi should be understood as sexually forward and is synonymous to iyarashii (嫌らしい, dirty or disgusting) or sukebe (すけべ, a person with sex on the brain). From this, the word etchi started to branch off, and assume new connotations. In the 1960s, etchi started to be used by youth to refer to sex in general. By the 1980s, it was used to mean sex as in the phrase etchi suru (to have sex).
Other neologisms such as sekkusu are often used to refer to sex, in addition to the term ecchi. Ecchi is now used as a qualifier for anything related to erotic or pornographic content. Its exact meaning varies with context, but in general, it is most similar to the English word "naughty" (when used as an adjective). The Japanese media tend to use other words, e.g. ero-manga (エロ), adult manga (アダルト), or anime / manga for persons over 18 years (18禁アニメ, 18禁). The prefix "H-" is also sometimes used to refer to pornographic genres, e.g. H-anime, H-manga, etc.
Hunter x Hunter is pretty much the best anime I've seen so far, I know it's not for everyone, but it was the best for me (I've seen a LOT of anime). Hunter x Hunter is very original and it even inspired Masashi Kishimoto to make Naruto. Also, for all the people saying it had a bad ending, it's not even finished. Don't trust them if they can't get their facts straight. Togashi, the creator, is suffering from back pain and is currently on hiatus until he recovers. Anyways, on to the show itself.
But Highschool DxD?
Loving it. If I could give it a rating it would be a 8 out of 10 reason?
Okay so I finished all 3 seasons I know there are exactly 4 but I watch on Hulu and I know the animation changed on season 4 so I didn't really even try to watch season 4 because the animation pictures looked uhm-pretty bad My little pony animation or Gacha animation-Sorry. Okay so anyways its Inappropriate alright so- If your not into romance drama but action anime this is not really for you if you know what I mean
***Spoiler alert*****
I understand why Koneko got all soft around issei but she is sitting on his lap with no shame at all- She was my Favorite character for being strong (as a personality trait) Now she is all obsessed with issei- don't get me wrong I still love Koneko though now
AKENO- She is like- she makes me so speechless sometimes and cringe she fights rias for issei and when diodora astaroth (The weirdo who was wanting to Marry Asia in whatever season) when diodora astaroth takes asia everybody started fighting for asia especially issei so when Akeno and rias teamed up and faught those people issei said he was going to take akeno on a date if she defeated them or something and that just lit akeno up and RIAS ON THE OTHER HAND seemed really mad she just wanted to like destroy akeno for being asked out like that- so they destroyed the people they where originally battling easily and continues arguing That was my favorite part lol
I love when rias is jealous!!
