I don't blame you, the concept of 'ecchi' anime has totally changed into a 'borderline hentai'.

I fail to see the problem here.I've never gone into an ecchi series expecting to find anything besides ass n titties. It's the problem with a lot of this 'comedy' a girl doesn't hit you for peeking on her in a bath she calls the cops and you go to prison.Įven in fantasy I like things to conform to social realities unless there is a good established reason it shouldn't. Look I like KLK but the whole comedy thing around the family kills my immersion on why Ryuuko would see the dad and son as anything but as sexual abusers she should literally cut up with her sword. You are talking about sexual assault scenes as a positive (and I don't mean as like some rape fetish where even there they are acknowledging it's fucked up). That was not the case before in old-school ecchi anime, even ecchi with serious tones were actually serious, now you can easily tell the focus is usually on the well-animated jiggling breasts, everything happens is an excuse for those scenes to appear. Just baffling to me someone would cite that as a positive. The gags are immersion breaking and it is by far the biggest problem with how anime uses sex appeal in my opinion. The humour aspect is literally the worst part about ecchi. The title itself provide a statment that ecchi genre had become almost no different from hentai, unlike the way before. To the point I got tired of seeing them copying each others with their 'comedy'. Like I said, you're free to dislike whatever you wish, but don't go the forums spreading some 'They suck because I dislike them' lines. I don't know what modern Ecchi you watched, but I can laugh when I watch modern Ecchi, and sometimes even have tears in my eyes. I did not ONLY say that, I provided examples of the nature of comedy, one being very short and varied, an original with the purpose of making the viewer laugh, the other is long, reptitive, with the sole purpose of making the viewer horny. You basically just said 'I don't like it, therefore it sucks', and you're free to do so, but perhaps you should not go on a forum and talk shit about it, just because you dislike it for your own personal reasons.

This goes two way though, I don't really see you bringing any arguments why it should be worse than old shows. How about you provide an actual arguement instead of accusing me of expressing my dislike without a reason? Too bad you don't like it, I am pretty happy with modern Ecchishows, and if Kill la Kill is more like old school ecchi, then I am happy we got away from it. I don't like it and therefore call it names. Of course, there are exceptions, but unfortunately very few, the only examples of modern ecchi done accurately I can think of are Prison School, I personally disliked its story and humour, but I acknowledge the effort of both the manga author and anime adaptation of trying to revive this dead genre.Īnother good example is Kill la Kill, there was indeed adult humour, or sometimes even rape jokes, it was very balanced to the point some would argue its 'ecchi', but in fact, it follows the original concept of the genre.ĪKA.

'Comedy' jokes consists of 'fanservice' such as behind breasts groping in the bath, or accidental fall on breasts.Ĭlassic ecchi focused more on adult humour, plot -when necessary, and creativity, it can be pervert comedy but not neccessarliy for pure 'fanservice', the presence of pervert characters similar to Master Roshi in Dragon Ball for example, it's funny because of variety and creativity, and it's short, unlike having a pervert humour followed by 30 seconds of well animated breasts and nipples getting erection and moaning, and etc. Ecchi had lost its identity to the point it has become difficult to differentiate it between hentai, it is basically a hentai with only nipples and no genitals.
