I understand if its boys who love it. but i found some girls who like it too. n they are straight (i guess) and not
lebians.
so, what i wanna ask is:
The reason why girls like ecchi, what part of it seems so interesting? (just for straight girls who like ecchi)
I'm so curious.
*sorry 4 my bad english -.-*
I'm a girl and I really dislike ecchi. XD Why do boys like it, anyway?
Quote by Blue-LatteI'm a girl and I really dislike ecchi. XD Why do boys like it, anyway?
I dunno exactly why (I'm not a boy). but I guess its natural the boys like ecchi which is have a lot of revealing pictures of women's body. but, what about some straight girls? why do they like it too? i really wanna know the reason.

Hm.. I think it's because ecchi also portrays funny moments and comedic acts. Some say that ecchi animes are funny, so there are definitely some girls who like that stuff. Though it is still disgusting to look in my opinion, and kinda boring. ^^;
I don't get what wrong with girls liking ecchi. Rosario + Vampire has tons of ecchi and is one of the most popular manga between girls. Besides that there are loads of other examples. Ecchi anime usually offers very detailed and pretty character design, also the girls there often wear trendy and sexy clothing, which also may be appealing for many. So calling it disgusting is a excuse for people who don't understand it. You don't need to like it, but ecchi anime always had and will have it's place in the world of anime, as long is demand for it.

Hey, hey. I dont think its disgusting. I myself like sexy people too. but, its boys (sexy/revealing boys arent called 'ecchi' too, right?).
i'm just curious, why do straight girls like ecchi. bcoz before this, I always thought girls who like seeing ecchi girls are lesbian (i'm ok being friends with them, though). but now i found a 'straight' girls who like it too (they have boyfriends, btw). so i dont understand.

yeah, you might be right. but what about straight girls who enjoy seeing ecchi pictures (such as posters, fanarts, scans, photos) without knowing exactly what the stories are?

Nah, I don't get it either since I don't like ecchi. XD All girls I know don't like it, but there are
always exceptions. :)
Ecchi is also a part of fanservice and it goes both ways - there are half-naked girls in shounen and there's also fanservice scenes of shirtless men in shoujo and most of those pictures/scans are also tagged under 'ecchi' here on MT and ZC, not just half-naked girls.
Personally, I had nothing against ecchi before; I understood why it was there for in the first place and it was all
good. And of course, I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't enjoy an occasional open shirt on guys here and
there or some interesting bed and shower scenes, as well. xD
But then it all escalated somehow and started to show up everywhere, to the point that I couldn't visit any page
without seeing someone's boobs/crotch or ass in my face. And that's when it wasn't even fun or
entertaining anymore, no matter the 'comedy' factor in it - it was starting to become overrated, overused and
overall, boring to watch. In my book, too much of anything tends to only bore and annoy me and it was the same with
ecchi. Especially when those shots took over the whole series and the plot and characters became a secondary thing. In
that case, I'd rather go and watch a full-blown hentai instead.
Why some girls enjoy ecchi? I have no idea. Maybe they enjoy it for the aesthetic reasons and the beauty of a female body. Maybe they don't feel insulted or disgusted with it like some other people would perhaps - who see it as authors portraying women as mere sexual objects and fap material. Maybe they don't mind their sexuality and femininity and see it as empowering. The reasons could be many and vary from cultural, religious, psychological and other viewpoints.
So, yeah, it'd be interesting to see a response about it from someone who likes it. :D
Quote by Alenas who see it as authors portraying women as mere sexual objects and fap material.
I would object there, if a series would be really about that, is not a ecchi anymore, but rather a highly provocative
comedy. (example would be Hen Zemi) In a true ecchi the females are often individuals with very strong personalities and
traits. If to this, comes that they are also pretty, smart and classy, then is no wonder that it becomes appealing also
for the female audience.
Ecchi is hated usually when the male lead is annoying and pervy (Sora no Otoshimono) or the ammount of ecchi goes too
far and then even a well liked main hero, or a deep story can have a hard time to save it.
But I noticed one thing, any ecchi manga or anime is a win for girls, if it contains vampires and/or occult. The ideal
example is the already mentioned Rosario + Vampire or the recent Highschool DxD.

That's what some people are trying to say - why can't the girls in those anime series have strong personalities, be pretty, smart and classy WITHOUT having to flaunt their boobs and asses in our faces? Besides, sorry but in my opinion, such fanservice shots really don't go hand in hand with the word 'classy'.
Quote: But I noticed one thing, any ecchi manga or anime is a win for girls, if it contains vampires and/or occult. The ideal example is the already mentioned Rosario + Vampire or the recent Highschool DxD.
Ahh, yeah, Highschool DxD. The one with the opening song in which the girls are all dancing around the strip pole.
Classy, indeed. xD
I also like occult and vampires but I usually avoid the shoujo genre of it and prefer seinen series, anyway. With as
little romance as possible.
And I think we strayed off the topic now a bit, lol.
Quote by Alenas Ahh, yeah, Highschool DxD. The one with the opening song in which the girls are all dancing around the strip pole.
Actually that was the ending song, but thats no major issue. And even if was borderline hentai, Rias-senpai was just too popular, regardless the gender of fans. She is just too fancy to ignore.
Quote by Alenas And I think we strayed off the topic now a bit, lol.
Maybe. But to get back on the correct rail, maybe we could use opinion of girls Who are okay with ecchi. Anybody seen
Chanelqueen arround? Her input could turn out rather interesting :3

OMG! true dat! XD ecchis aren't bad themselves, I used to really like them, but
now it's just that the fan-service is too preponderant. for example; To-Love-Ru, it's almost en hentai! o.O
there isn't any *ahem ahem* scenes in it and that's all but omg, the fan-service in it is ridiculously
frightening ^^" there isn't any story anymore, it's only a body exhibition =.=' I mean, when I watch
ecchis, the only thing that crosses my mind is :
well, back to topic... I think everything is up to people's taste and personality
:D I mean, like boys, there are perverted girls, too XD (and they're worse than men, trust me :O) and being
perverted is a right XD HURRAY FOR PERVERSION! TvT
plus, people should have noticed the art in ecchis is flawless *.* (except those stupidly oversized boobs and butts
--' big boobs aren't bad, it's good-looking. but too much.. it's... ^^") there are people (me)
who watch animes or mangas just for the art. and the bodies and faces in ecchis are just pure love, almost perfect! *Q*
and girls are fierce perfectionists :P I think that'd be the reason... who knows...

I didn't know that shirtless men could be tagged under ecchi. Very informative for taggers out there.

Actually very few girls do like such things but I think it just a matter of choice since all of us has his/her own preferences. To like something you need a certain aspect of that thing that made you love or like it. In this case, the aesthetic value and entertainment value would probably be the ones that they like about these ecchi things.

Quote by happytail73I didn't know that shirtless men could be tagged under ecchi. Very informative for taggers out there.
I don't think 'Open shirt' falls under 'ecchi' here on MT, but on ZC, I've seen the same, tagged together with ecchi so I'm not sure whether ecchi was added automatically with 'open shirt' or manually. One should differentiate between ecchi and general things like open shirts and so on. In that case, it's more about the context of the overall scene and not just articles of clothing or the lack of. xD
So, it might be because of aesthetic, ecchi anime usually funny, or it usually have great artwork. Yeah... but I still
think ecchi picture of boys are better than ecchi picture of girls. Well, I mean 'men' , dont really like
watching kids/boys, though :P.
But, it's true... exaggerating ecchi without good plot would look bad no matter how great the art is. N I'd
ignore that type of anime.

So actually it was all about the overall content of the scan and not just about the issue of clothing to be tagged under ecchi. Just to clear things for taggers here on MT.

I guess this is a very personal matter, perceptions may differ from one person to another, ecchi anime/manga artwork in my opinion I like it just at some point, it is like it has different levels, that goes from artistic to obscene, after it passes to the obscene level, I find it disgusting and sometimes insulting. Ecchi art has to have something more appealing than just a pair of giant shiny boobs, I mean, yes draw giant boobs if you want, but keep in mind other stuff like, hair, environment, clothing, accesories, that can be appealing too. I can pass ecchi in anime/manga if there's an enjoying plot, not just flying pantsus and boobs all over the place without making any sense.
This day we fight!
if people are into ecchi that's their own business, I'm not really into it and if it appears too much in something I lose interest in it. I know it doesn't have to be in there to make something good, but a lot of people are into it so thus, it sells, and when you're trying to make money you're going to put it into whatever you're trying to get to sell.
BuBbLeS!
Can't say I like to watch ecchi anime very much (but from time to time), but I'm quite okay with ecchi art.
(Not so that revealing, but which is done artistically)
Yeah, sometimes it annoys when here and there you see anime/scans/manga/ e.g. with the pure fanservice and not a plot,
but if ecchi is to the point in the story, and it's not a bait just to make guys watch it - so why not?
As Akiranyo mentioned, in lots of ecchi anime it's not really a point to show boobs/ass and so on. It's about how to show the image of a girl (a bit hyperbolical), which could be full of very positive personal traits and she would be sincere with the guy. You'll never see in ecchi "bitchy" girls to take over - they are always ' beaten' by simple,cheerful and sincere girls, which surround the main character.
The reason why I like and tolerate ecchi - I like the beauty of mosty female body. I'm the 'straight' one, but still, I enjoy the erotical flavours in art, especially in anime. I used to like the guys' one, but now I'm kinda tired of it, lol. Girl are far more seductive than guys.)
For me ecchi question is like a difference between porn and erotica. If you want go hardcore - go watch porn; if you want go deep and passionate with a bit of spice - watch erotica. Here's the same with ecchi and hentai. It's up to choose. I'm not really into hentai, but I'm quite okay with some pieces of attractive and revealing ecchi art.

I agree with Allenas most of the anime are becoming a bit too filled with ecchi stuff and all those even in Fairy tail I
really like the anime and the plot is really nice but it's a bit too revealing you know and especially the manga.
It's really embarrassing to watch it when my parents are there you know and sometimes when visitors who don't
watch anime come in the wrong time and give me that look, it's embarrassing.
And for the part I never thought that girls would like echhi genre and usually thought will find it degrading, but I
guess all of us have some weird preferences.
YOU'RE LOVED DEARLY!
okay as to answering to this, i do not think that all girls like ecchi obviously. However i do know a girl that likes ecchi. I think girls would like ecchi cause they seem like there is that sort of feeling of the wanting of suprise scenes. But honestly i cannot say that is right, and cause i am not a girl.

I used to like ecchi, but then I discovered hentai and honestly didn't feel like looking back. For me, series that rely solely on cardboard cutout-personality girls are more annoying than enjoyable, if only because I quickly get tired of T&A being shoved in my face. And I can't help but feel empathy back pains for those girls with tiny frames and watermelon boobs, who apparently are also too poor to afford more than bits of material to cover up their privates. Ultimately, I guess it's either hentai or nothing for me; ecchi has mostly become almost-hentai anyway, so the tired cliche of "conveniently covered body parts" is an instant turnoff for me: I know I'm never going to see that full boob or anything else (save for photoshops/fan art), so why bother with something "incomplete" when I can get the full deal?
And yeah, teasing can be sexy at times, but not when it's done so in-your-face that it becomes grating. It's like the animators are standing beside you going "hahaha, we could've drawn everything but chose not to in order to piss everyone off! HA." (and to keep the rating down, whatever) I do like ecchi when it's done well, though: once in a while, not offensive to either gender and not treating the viewer like (s)he's some kid who's just hit puberty and goes to search for "boobs" on Google Images.
Btw, wanting to look at the naked body of the same sex doesn't magically make you gay/lesbian. Lots of straight women enjoy looking at lesbian erotica/porn, for example. Sexuality isn't a matter of black & white, it's what side attracts you more that determines it and, while you're attracted to one sex (be it the same or the opposite one), there's always some degree of attraction towards the other.
If you can't handle me at my best, then you don't deserve me at my worst!

well, honestly... i dont believe there are really some straight people who enjoyed watching/reading erotica of their same sex (men watching gay-erotica or women watching lesbian-erotica). i think people like that r at least 'bi' if not gay themself. and now... i guess not all people who look straight r really straight. ^^ maybe they r gay/lesbian in hiding.
