I'm not sure what to do with this information.

Start at the bottom, work your way up. If you make it to the top, then... only then, you're ready.

Ready for what? Watching Redo of Healer?
ryohazuki2242025-12-30 13:59
Nope.
To take the actual next step.
Every man must decide what that step is for themselves.
chhuang2025-12-30 03:58
this is a pretty clever chart, it's
- good enough to start a massive thread here, and made people who hasn't watched watch them
- bad enough to made people who watched tell you that this list is off

Weigh which anime to watch in a public space without headphones

Looks like a To Do list to me
FetchFrosh2025-12-29 18:00
u/3v1lkr0w, last month you asked, and after weeks of stalling I'm finally delivering the goods.
Hopefully there's no major flubs in this one, but there's usually *something* that goes wrong. Kind of neat that there's this one flat region right around 2.0 where a whole batch of shows gathered up. Also, first ever r/anime poll to put Frieren at the bottom of the list.
[All the data is in the chart, but if you wanted to have a spreadsheet of it, see here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k29U-epQcySZN3jsHOrAvCUyFo37QuzjOVqh_Si1IMM/edit?usp=sharing)
Chava_boy2025-12-29 18:20
And still a few people think Frieren is almost a hentai
BiggieCheeseLapDog2025-12-29 18:22
Did you see the scene where Frieren compared her boobs to Fern? I’d have voted that shit a 6 if I could.

MightyMechanical2025-12-29 18:01
Where is prison school damn
FetchFrosh2025-12-29 18:03
Please refer to the top of the chart.
MightyMechanical2025-12-29 18:07
So prison school isn't ecchi?
MaximalDisguised2025-12-29 18:11
This isn't a list of every ecchi anime ever.
It's just a list to scale how ecchi these anime are.
As it says on the chart: Prison School was excluded to spite you personally.
FetchFrosh2025-12-29 18:14
I can't even dab on people without it needing to be explained.

also no Beheneko
Riverflowsuphillz2025-12-29 18:02
Why is frieren even here like I never watch but does it even have sex scenes
Also i expected more for i have a crush at work since they literally shown to have sex basically every episode just implication kind of makes it a ecchi
Also where the illya series or even why is teacher here?
BiggieCheeseLapDog2025-12-29 18:04
Ones like that are there simply to establish a scale. No one thinks Frieren is ecchi, so barely anyone will vote it as ecchi.
FetchFrosh2025-12-29 18:04
Because this is a sliding scale. The point is to have an anime or two that are near 0 to see how things scale.
> Also where the illya series or even why is teacher here?
Please refer to the top of the chart.
nsheehan282025-12-29 18:05
Sex scenes are practically in every other scene. It makes high school dxd look like a g rated show in comparison.
Riverflowsuphillz2025-12-29 18:11
For which anime i have a crush for frieren?
Niwrats2025-12-29 18:04
why not let the voters specify both the titles and the scores? this way you'd only have to count the results.
FetchFrosh2025-12-29 18:08
Two reasons:
1. It ensures that everyone's voting on the same pile of shows (even if most people can't meaningfully have an opinion about everything).
2. From experience, a poll where I give people 50+ titles and ask a multiple choice question gets far more feedback than something where I ask people to give me a list of anime.
tensei-coffee2025-12-29 18:05
what is the line between "ecchi" and "hentai"? the amount of nudity? type of nudity? showing sexual acts/penetration? (thats hentai af) or ratio of hentai/ecchi scenes to plot?
ThatBoiUnknown2025-12-29 18:07
Ecchi is just like it has many fanservice scenes (many times for humor or just being suggestive) while hentai always has sex (penetration)
Pretty sure ecchi shows aren't allowed to show genitalia at all but can show exposed boobs
MaximalDisguised2025-12-29 18:07
When you see pixelated genitalia, that's hentai.
il8872025-12-29 18:11
…or Gintama.
Ok_Law2192025-12-29 18:37
So, if the genetalua aren't pixelated it's safe? 😋
Prophage72025-12-29 18:43
Pretty much think of ecchi as sex and nudity in movies and shows, whereas hentai is porn. Most ecchi spend far more of their runtime on plot than sex scenes and don't show sex as explicitly as hentai. But same as anything else, there's always shows that tip toe that line.
timpkmn892025-12-29 19:12
The Japanese manga, animation, and gaming industries have a clear divide. Different companies, different staff, different distribution channels.
All of these shows were produced by companies that do other non-18+ material, and aired on Japanese TV (sometimes only on premium channels).
BiggieCheeseLapDog2025-12-29 18:05
Onimai has a bit of fanservice but I don’t think it’s *that* ecchi, especially since it’s above something like No Game No Life.
Superior_Mirage2025-12-29 19:10
Apparently Onimai had a fair amount of censorship on CR -- and not "weird light rays", but entire scenes removed.
So anyone who watched it legally (without buying the BD) probably had a different experience.
BiggieCheeseLapDog2025-12-29 19:21
I don’t think I watched it legally so I’m pretty sure I’m referring to the normal version (unless the version I pirated was the Crunchyroll version as well).
NotAsterFromEvenicle2025-12-29 18:05
How is interspecies more ecchi than nukitashi which contain cock silhouettes and sex toys
Abysswatcherbel2025-12-29 18:27
Because it is more associated with this type of content, it even left the anime bubble
It became THE "can't believe it is not hentai" anime
Sorey912025-12-29 18:41
Didn't the show also like made scenes even more explicit than the manga/create scenes that weren't there ??
Whendfield1232025-12-29 18:51
Yes the anime is much more explicit than the manga
Ralath2n2025-12-29 19:35
Well. Erm... Interspecies reviewers... It's better just to show you. Here's a link to one of many scenes from the actual anime. Here they are reviewing a slime girl. [Incredibly NSFW, I warned you.](https://www.reddit.com/r/HENTAI_GIF/comments/vj4uoj/elf_girl_tries_something_new_with_the_slime_girl_3/)
Interspecies Reviewers deserves the top spot.
Astan922025-12-29 20:52
That.... That's hentai. Not I can't believe it's not hentai, not we have hentai at home. Full on, unmitigated hentai.
evenstar402025-12-29 21:07
Jesus christ I've seen tamer hentai than that.
Ralath2n2025-12-29 21:10
Nope! They just barely kept the genitalia out of frame! Therefore this is just a good ol family friendly anime! Don't even need to pixelate anything!
Automatic_Muscle52642025-12-29 20:53
Nukitashi's 4 special episodes just came out and they're straight up hentai, not even ecchi, but I dunno if that ranking include those specials too, probably not.
Salty1452025-12-29 18:05
*Dumbbells* feels crazy low tbh. Like the ecchi elements in that one are arguably stronger and more essential to its appeal than a bunch of things above it.
Skane19822025-12-30 00:06
Might be because in context, it makes sense to have all those sweaty shots.
Salty1452025-12-30 00:56
It's like saying beach episodes aren't fan service because it makes sense to have your female cast in bikinis at the beach.
Ashteron2025-12-29 18:06
I feel like you've missed out by not having GK as it's a rare case of fanservice scenes being exclusively with male characters.

*Food Wars* ranking above *DomeKano* and *Love Hina* is wild.
Really bizarre to not see any of the *Tenchi Muyo* series included here.
Dirty_Dragons2025-12-29 18:27
May just be age of Tenchi and I don't think that many people saw the uncensored versions. Teenage me sure did though.
Ranma 1/2 is also missing, which at least has a currently airing remake, with all the boobs removed.
laseluuu2025-12-29 18:43
Boobs still there, just no nipples lol
Dirty_Dragons2025-12-29 20:45
Boobs without nipples have no point!
MembershipNo20772025-12-29 18:42
A lot of these are just weird in general. For instance, Mushoku Tensei is above like 8 things with far more fan service than it has. But it's good to remember the voters likely voted on things they didn't even watch and only have seen clips from at best or that they have bias toward/against.
LakerBlue2025-12-29 19:05
It’s been awhile since I saw Love Hina but I agree with Food Wars being over Domestic Girlfriend. Yes Food Wars lacks sex but I think it makes up for it (especially in like the first 2 seasons) with the sheer quantity of nudity. I would also argue it’s much more of an ecchi thematically.
Domestic Girlfriend feels more like a soap opera with sex. Outside of the sex I don’t think the quantity of nudity was high. Plus nudity doesn’t inherently equal ecchi…But it’s been a few years so I maybe forgetting stuff and thinking too much of the non-animated chapters as well.
k4r60002025-12-29 20:39
Domestic Girlfriend has some sex, but it is fundamentally a romance series and not a fanservice series. Also, one of the two sex scenes in the anime adaptation is expliticly about how awkward and uncomfortable it is for both of them. So sexy it isn't. (The other one is more straightforward happy sex between two lovers.)
t0talnonsense2025-12-29 19:07
Perfect Blue being on this *at all* makes me question everyone's sanity. It's also likely exposing some people's fetishes. TIL that any sort of sexual interaction is porn. Someone needs to tell the MPAA about it, then.
No-Mulberry-9082025-12-29 20:30
Having sex scenes ≠ ecchi. Ecchi is more of a horny-bait and it's more apparent in Food Wars than DomeKano for sure. Idk about Love Hina tho.
Tplayere2025-12-29 18:11
Mushoku Tensei being so high and having more 5 votes than My Dress-up Darling and Monogatari shows me people actually either haven't watched the show or are just trying to make people believe it's lewder than it is out of spite.
Or people just don't know what's Ecchi and believe sex in the story = ecchi.
Zado1912025-12-29 18:17
The first 2 shouldn't even be on the list... they are both straight up hentai
skavinger58822025-12-29 18:23
There's a non-zero number of people who gave Frieren something over a 1, I suspect some people were just trolling the poll
NLwino2025-12-29 18:28
What do you mean? Didn't you see Frieren's flying kiss, they didn't censor it at all.
Morphumaxx2025-12-29 18:36
My grandma fainted after seeing that. Reasonable crash out.
davaca2025-12-29 18:46
It's an online poll, there are always some people just trolling.
SpiritualPossible2025-12-29 19:15
I found this list strange myself, but this comment... is rather disingenuous.
Firstly, it's not that high on the list - it's near the middle. Not only that, but complaining that MT got more "5 votes" than Monogatari when the difference is literally ***two points*** seems... rather nitpicky.
Second, sorry, but MT goes beyond just realistically depicting sex in the story. Many times, it deliberately shows us sexual scenes in an explicit manner. Not to mention how much of a pervert Rudy is, which to some extent dictates how the story is told. So obviously, many people would call it an ecchi anime, since the definition is not limited to just having a fanservice.
BlooregardQKazoo2025-12-30 00:16
Jobless Reincarnation includes a curse that turns someone into a sex addict, and it just happens to be possessed by a sexy elf.
The MC's most prized possession is a pair of panties.
The Demon Lord is a mostly-naked loli.
The show is shamelessly ecchi.

holy shit the person who edited that first clip did a terrible job. Made it like 5 seconds shorter if that with the most horrible cuts
CJett922025-12-29 20:14
for real, is a silence longer than a quarter second considered wasted time now? I thought I was having a stroke with how much they cut up those clips.

Protection from copyright strikes.
AveryLazyCovfefe2025-12-29 23:44
Toho are very protective of their IP. Unfortunately this is how clip channels do stuff these days. You'd think they'd upload the clips themselves then.. but they don't.
And even the OP/ED on their channels sometimes don't even have comments. Why the hell wouldn't they? It's free marketing ffs. Yet another example of Japanese conglomerates being stuck in the past at times.
Reddragon3512025-12-29 18:11
Monogatari feels like it should be higher
BiggieCheeseLapDog2025-12-29 18:16
I think Monogatari is in a good place. Most of its fanservice is purposeful storytelling and in the second half of the show the sexual content lessens immensely.
Sushi2k2025-12-29 18:39
Idk Nise alone should launch it higher.
DAiDAiDa2025-12-29 18:45
Yeah stop it man lets dont lie to ourselves shall we?
molesting 12 year old kid is very important to the plot. Araragi a self claimed lolicon certainly would not do it. Also we need to see kids with underwear or bandaid(?) down there. plot really needs it. We sould see two highscbooler having shower together when they do a sleepover ıt is really important. Not even talking about araragi brushing his sisters teeth on the bed while his sister wears his other sisters clothes and both are aroused... I can continue it more and more. It is wholesome isnt it
Whendfield1232025-12-29 18:48
Not enough people have watched it or only watched the toothbrush scene. Monogatari fans might also downplay a lot of its ecchi moments, so they give it a lower ecchi score.
Business-Active-11432025-12-29 22:52
Groping Hachikuji so frequently is really most uncomfortable bit in the anime for me
mooke2025-12-29 22:39
I have a theory that there might be some selection bias happening here.
The number of people who have gotten deep enough "down the rabbit hole" that they watched past bakemonogatari are probably more likely to have higher thresholds for what counts as ecchi.
So anyone who stopped during bakemonogatari would rate it lower than if they had watched nisemonogatari and beyond, but anyone who had watched nise- is significantly more likely to rate it lower because they've also more likely to have watched gushing over magical girls, or nukitashi or interspecies reviewers and are using that as their "is ecchi" threshold.
A_Hint_of_Lemon2025-12-29 18:12
Every time Interspecies Reviewers gets brought up, I just hear Gigguk cackling and see the image of the butter labeled “I can’t believe it’s not Hentai”, so it topping the list here does not surprise me.
CommanderZx22025-12-29 18:13
Surprising lack of Immoral Guild, the girls get naked and assaulted by monsters in almost every episode. It is more akin to a hentai than anything else on this list.

kaori_cicak9902025-12-29 18:14
This poling based on younger r/anime sub also they're not even watch so many ecchi show.
Panty and stocking should be 5 and some people doesn't know how "18+" The show is.
Even season 2 showing some "panty V" Part.
Also put echhi poll but not putting punchline?
Either the member who vote and the one put the poll doesn't know lot of ecchi show

CommanderZx22025-12-29 18:15
Your ordering doesn't make sense, Gushing over magical girls is rated far higher as a hentai than many of the anime listed above it.

Armpit fandom, maybe
PerceptionLiving96742025-12-29 18:51
Armpits and feet fandom; it's ironic that Frieren is the anime that attracts perverts more than explicitly ecchi anime.
nanimeanswhat2025-12-29 20:35
Yeah when it was airing I would barely notice or not notice them at all but whenever I went on to reddit all people talked about was someone's armpit and another's feet that appeared for like 3-5 seconds max. It made me unsub from most meme subreddits because nowadays the joke isn't even porn, it's just fetish.

Frieren blowing a kiss is ecchi it kills
testthrowawayzz2025-12-29 19:25
Himmel, is that you?
_Lucille_2025-12-29 20:02
have you not seen her getting SWALLOWED with her ass up? that's pretty ecchi.
Tempest0512025-12-29 23:29
Not in the slightest. It's a running joke in D&D to get eaten by mimics. It would be ecchi if the mimic had tentacles and was doing... Tentacle things. In freirwn it's done in the most light hearted and tame way possible. The whole mimic tentacle stuff was started seperately by R34.
slicer4ever2025-12-30 00:17
Honestly i felt like it would get some more "has some echhi momemts" votes because it does have a decent number of those scenes(similarly some of the ways shes sleeps also are sometimes feel slightly ecchi).
SmallJon2025-12-30 00:29
Like the poll really shows, a lot of it will really just come down to what people think of as ecchi. I didnt think any of the feet or armpit shots in *Frieren* as sexual, let alone the mimics, until well after when I ran into weirdos on Reddit. Frieren having her clothes melted, one gag for Fern and Stark each, and Ubel's "death by snu-snu" eyes were basically the only parts I thought of as even a little sexualized.
Then I found out some people like armpits, and some people have lots of money & like Frieren alone with mimics.
Azaana2025-12-29 18:59
The extremes of these are good to calibrate with. You can basically take 10-15 off the extreme options looking at this. There's always people who poison the data so it helps weed them out.
Major_R_Soul2025-12-29 19:07
That mimic scene was very titillating for those viewers with a vore fetish
TheDanubianCommunard2025-12-29 19:35
The clothing dissolver potion is quite ecchi enough.
IsTom2025-12-29 19:40
7 people are literally Fern.
fsfaith2025-12-29 22:33
Fern saw Stark's weiner. That's pretty ecchi.
Infodump_Ibis2025-12-29 23:13

Some people hate voting these polls and it shows. Or they simply vote with never having seen some of these shows. (Looking at you golden boy)
kamulek692025-12-29 18:22
I lvoe monster musume, more MONSTER GIRLS!
rv57422025-12-29 18:25
I think I mentioned this the last time you did this, but you really should have included Sekotai Yakuindomo, so we could have a show with a real argument.
Logicknot-2025-12-29 18:25
It's been a while since I saw it but what's ecchi about Cyberpunk edgerunners?
TehZiiM2025-12-29 18:25
I like how in the top 9 there are these 20 or so hentai enjoyers rating them low
skyinyourcoffee2025-12-29 18:25
I'd like to meet the people who claim keijo was not an Ecchi anime
RelativeMundane90452025-12-29 21:01
That is a show about a professional sport showing off the finest ~~assets~~ (ahem), athletes in its field thank you very much.
ODST_Parker2025-12-29 18:26
Genuinely, how is Konosuba that far down? I'm struggling to think of a single thing in something like Mushoku Tensei or even My Dress-Up Darling that even comes close to Darkness getting her boobs juggled every other episode.
Zonca2025-12-29 20:02
It goes the goofy/comedic route way way too much, even in it's "titillating" moments, compounded by it's more simpler and fluid artstyle.
Sahtras19922025-12-29 20:10
moshoku had the mage-trainer (forgot her name) masturbate to MCs parents having sex as one of many examples.
ODST_Parker2025-12-29 20:14
Oh yeah, kinda forgot about that one. On the other hand, the Kazuma and Darkness bath scene exists.
Honestly, I don't even know how to go about comparing these things.
pre4edgc2025-12-29 21:57
I think a lot of people considered "playing it straight" vs "part of a joke", and gave more weight to the former. The bath scene, while ecchi, was part of a punchline set earlier in the episode. Most of the other anime above it used the same sort of scenes purely as fan service.
Prophage72025-12-29 22:04
"many examples" is like 5 scenes across 48 episodes and an OVA yeah?
CrazySnipah2025-12-29 22:17
Probably because it feels like it’s a bawdy comedy first and foremost. I wouldn’t feel guilty about saying that I watch it.
oops_i_made_a_typi2025-12-29 23:24
> even My Dress-Up Darling
the measurement episode and the 1st cosplay convention with the sweat scenes were stupidly ecchi and far beyond even Darkness' jiggling, though yes those scenes are prob less of the runtime of MDUD vs Konosuba. But at its peak its definitely more intense
SoulRunGod2025-12-29 18:27
Damn Mushoku Tensei pretty low down low key
Nara_RyUko2025-12-29 18:27
I feel like To Love Ru should be around 4.5/5 'cuz goddamn that show is very *triggering*. (Not that I watched it, of course. Heard from a friend✌️)
Webknight312025-12-29 18:27
Some great ecchi recommendations.
Ponczo1232025-12-29 18:29
The first two are hentai that pretend to be an ecchi Anime. I remember when Gigguk once said that he is annoyed too by the trend of hentai pretending to be a very ecchi shows. As much as I like gushing over magical girl I can't defend this show not being soft hentai
Insecticide2025-12-29 18:29

Gushing came in top 5 LET'S GOOOO
Tehbeefer2025-12-29 18:32
Interesting how Free has a squashed middle, apparently a polarizing reaction, while Scum's Wish and Domestic Girlfriend had a very even distribution in reactions. Shoutout to Keijo!!!! for managing to definitely be very ecchi, yet generally agreed not hentai.
comelickmyarmpits2025-12-29 18:35
Seeing the amount of misinformation this chart representing made me realise current gen or modern you would say have lost the meaning of ewcchi..
Sex in story not equal to ecchi
oldeuboiii2025-12-29 18:35
Who tf thinks Perfect Blue is ecchi?
Necromas2025-12-29 19:46
The 1's make sense though I would still rate it a 0. People probably feel weird giving it a 0 when there is graphic sexual content and themes, even if it's clearly intended to be disturbing.
For the rest, it's probbaly half trolls and half people taking the term ecchi to just mean any sexual content.
Reutermo2025-12-29 20:33
I think nudity and ecchi is very different things. Perfect Blue have some nudity in it, but it really isnt a horny movie that is supposed to be tilting or a one handed watch.
1Pip1Der2025-12-29 18:36
Yep, media literary is completely dead.
Dirty_Dragons2025-12-29 18:37
It's funny that Fairy Tail and Fire Force, both shows that people complain about being ecchi, get a 2 on the Goon-O-Meter^®
Overall, they just aren't that bad.
sjk90002025-12-29 18:37
There's a contingent of people out there who who view ecchi content as unbecoming of legitimate entertainment, and thus mentally categorize any fanservice in their favorite anime as secretly not lewd. That's my theory.
dim3tapp2025-12-29 19:39
The inclusion of fanservice does not make it fall within the Ecchi genre. The point of Ecchi is the fanservice, so if the fanservice is not the point, or a major focus of the show, it's not an Ecchi.
OneMoreDuncanIdaho2025-12-29 20:07
Shows can be about multiple things though, the line isn't always so black and white or easy to pinpoint what the "main focus" is
Bhamey2025-12-29 18:37
separating to love Ru and To love ru Darkness would place the latter higher
Keyki_LoL2025-12-29 18:37
How is kissxsiss not on here?
Kougeru-Sama2025-12-29 18:38
A lot of stuff rated 3 are way more Ecchi than stuff rated higher and stuff under between 2 and 3 should mostly be in 1 lmao
NobodyNo82025-12-29 18:42
Sadly I've seen a lot of these....
NiceVibeShirt2025-12-29 18:42
Anyone who thinks Frieren isn't ecchi obviously hasn't seen her 投げキッス, which Stark described as, and I quote, エッチすぎる.
Sorey912025-12-29 18:43
I'm surprised shows like Queens blade didn't make it to the list.
Or would i have been wrong the entire time and the anime is a hentai ?
Ziiyi2025-12-29 18:45
Incredible Utena was out-ecchied
Drayenn2025-12-29 18:53
Ill argue that while Nukitashi has a lot of nudity, it doesnt use it as an arousal/hot tool but mostly a narrative.
Theres very little focus on girls being really hot and flirty like highschool dxd does. Its often background characters banging or ikuko standing around with pasties. Not saying it doesnt do it all though
No-Car-43072025-12-29 18:55
where's redo of the healer bro?
Zentavius2025-12-29 19:01
Seems very inaccurate in places.
Jaexyn2025-12-29 19:02
I knew it. Redo of Healer not being on the list just proves that it's family-friendly. Watch it with your kids and grandparents alike!
ITfactotum2025-12-29 23:57
Lol, no, its just above a 5.0 rating !!
SinnerIxim2025-12-30 04:26
Doesn't include The Qwaser of Stigmata, what a beta list
faithfulheresy2025-12-30 07:12
Also missing Manyuu Hiken-cho. It's like they weren't even trying.

Democracy in nutshell. You need intelligent society for democracy.
Weebthulhu2025-12-29 19:04
I know the show is more jokes and innuendo than outright, uh, displays, but it still feels off not having *Seitokai Yakuindomo* on this list.
Whole_Adhesiveness_32025-12-29 19:05
Chained soldier manga would be 4.9/5
itogisch2025-12-29 19:08
I really should watch interspecies reviewers.
AdAgreeable76912025-12-29 19:30
where is my healer ?
350Daybreak2025-12-29 19:34
A lot of complainers but the results look like they came out pretty reasonable. Shows at the top are constant ecchi sequences, shows at the middle are less frequent or less risque, and shows at the bottom seem to be correctly identified as not ecchi.
Frieren vote ended basically 7 to 1700. anyone with experience in polling will know that, no matter what, a few individuals will give extreme outlier answers. They mis-click, they misunderstand the question, and so on...
2020mademejoinreddit2025-12-29 19:35
So Frieren is considered ecchi, but Redo of Healer isn't? Not even on the list? Umm...Who made this? lol
arthurman1012025-12-29 21:07
The first two are borderline hentai. Also where's redo of healer?
Iherduliekmudkipz2025-12-29 22:39
The first three are borderline hentai, but I am not sure why gushing over magical girls is so high on the list, there's at least 5-6 under it that are more ecchi than it is. Guessing people have seen it but not the others.
It's closer to a 3 or a 4. That is it's very clearly an ecchi show but there's no way in hell it is lewder than to love ru for example.
SanSilver2025-12-30 04:57
Harem in Labyrinth should honestly he higher rated. Most likely people just didn't know it.

To take the actual next step.
Every man must decide what that step is for themselves.
- good enough to start a massive thread here, and made people who hasn't watched watch them
- bad enough to made people who watched tell you that this list is off
~~I once explained that one to classmates~~
[](#azusalaugh)
Hopefully there's no major flubs in this one, but there's usually *something* that goes wrong. Kind of neat that there's this one flat region right around 2.0 where a whole batch of shows gathered up. Also, first ever r/anime poll to put Frieren at the bottom of the list.
[All the data is in the chart, but if you wanted to have a spreadsheet of it, see here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k29U-epQcySZN3jsHOrAvCUyFo37QuzjOVqh_Si1IMM/edit?usp=sharing)
It's just a list to scale how ecchi these anime are.
As it says on the chart: Prison School was excluded to spite you personally.
Also i expected more for i have a crush at work since they literally shown to have sex basically every episode just implication kind of makes it a ecchi
Also where the illya series or even why is teacher here?
> Also where the illya series or even why is teacher here?
Please refer to the top of the chart.
1. It ensures that everyone's voting on the same pile of shows (even if most people can't meaningfully have an opinion about everything).
2. From experience, a poll where I give people 50+ titles and ask a multiple choice question gets far more feedback than something where I ask people to give me a list of anime.
Pretty sure ecchi shows aren't allowed to show genitalia at all but can show exposed boobs
All of these shows were produced by companies that do other non-18+ material, and aired on Japanese TV (sometimes only on premium channels).
So anyone who watched it legally (without buying the BD) probably had a different experience.
It became THE "can't believe it is not hentai" anime
Interspecies Reviewers deserves the top spot.
"That's intentional misinformation."

Really bizarre to not see any of the *Tenchi Muyo* series included here.
Ranma 1/2 is also missing, which at least has a currently airing remake, with all the boobs removed.
Domestic Girlfriend feels more like a soap opera with sex. Outside of the sex I don’t think the quantity of nudity was high. Plus nudity doesn’t inherently equal ecchi…But it’s been a few years so I maybe forgetting stuff and thinking too much of the non-animated chapters as well.
Or people just don't know what's Ecchi and believe sex in the story = ecchi.
Firstly, it's not that high on the list - it's near the middle. Not only that, but complaining that MT got more "5 votes" than Monogatari when the difference is literally ***two points*** seems... rather nitpicky.
Second, sorry, but MT goes beyond just realistically depicting sex in the story. Many times, it deliberately shows us sexual scenes in an explicit manner. Not to mention how much of a pervert Rudy is, which to some extent dictates how the story is told. So obviously, many people would call it an ecchi anime, since the definition is not limited to just having a fanservice.
The MC's most prized possession is a pair of panties.
The Demon Lord is a mostly-naked loli.
The show is shamelessly ecchi.
[](#sadholo)
And even the OP/ED on their channels sometimes don't even have comments. Why the hell wouldn't they? It's free marketing ffs. Yet another example of Japanese conglomerates being stuck in the past at times.
molesting 12 year old kid is very important to the plot. Araragi a self claimed lolicon certainly would not do it. Also we need to see kids with underwear or bandaid(?) down there. plot really needs it. We sould see two highscbooler having shower together when they do a sleepover ıt is really important. Not even talking about araragi brushing his sisters teeth on the bed while his sister wears his other sisters clothes and both are aroused... I can continue it more and more. It is wholesome isnt it
The number of people who have gotten deep enough "down the rabbit hole" that they watched past bakemonogatari are probably more likely to have higher thresholds for what counts as ecchi.
So anyone who stopped during bakemonogatari would rate it lower than if they had watched nisemonogatari and beyond, but anyone who had watched nise- is significantly more likely to rate it lower because they've also more likely to have watched gushing over magical girls, or nukitashi or interspecies reviewers and are using that as their "is ecchi" threshold.
Panty and stocking should be 5 and some people doesn't know how "18+" The show is.
Even season 2 showing some "panty V" Part.
Also put echhi poll but not putting punchline?
Either the member who vote and the one put the poll doesn't know lot of ecchi show
the fact the include Nukitashi the animation which has no deep story but not redo of healer who actually have a story is out of my mind
I guess most of the voters on counts women's nudity
I'm one of them because my specific fetish is good anime and Frieren had lots of that.
Then I found out some people like armpits, and some people have lots of money & like Frieren alone with mimics.
> A young man complains that his group of adventurers does not include an attractive older woman.
Honestly, I don't even know how to go about comparing these things.
the measurement episode and the 1st cosplay convention with the sweat scenes were stupidly ecchi and far beyond even Darkness' jiggling, though yes those scenes are prob less of the runtime of MDUD vs Konosuba. But at its peak its definitely more intense
Sex in story not equal to ecchi
