The Twitter user “朝野おやつ (@asano082)” became a trend recently because criticized that some anime series for all audiences (i.e. they are not labeled as ecchi) they lose quality and even followers for the simple fact of insert forced ecchi scenes. According to his publications, she had decided to watch an anime with his brother, and although she found the story interesting, he stopped watching it because it included unnecessary ecchi scenes.
In his publications he wrote:
- «I was watching an anime series with my brother because I found it interesting, but all the girls had big breasts, camera angles were taken that made them look erotic, there was talk of lesbian relationships, and even the girls themselves talked about the size of their breasts. breasts. I certainly didn’t like it at all, but my brother swore to me that the story was interesting, and that he should give it a chance until the third episode».
- «When watching the second episode, the story really started to seem interesting to me, so I thought I could put aside the sexualization of the girls to enjoy the plot. And then they do a scene in a bathroom and with the girls completely naked».
- «In my brother’s defense, he doesn’t recommend any ecchi anime to me or force me to watch them. People who have been watching anime for years do not find the presence of ecchi scenes in a regular series strange, given that it is something that has existed for decades. Rather, I mean that many times a story could lose its quality or seriousness just by inserting unnecessary and repetitive ecchi».
There are certainly animes labeled from their conception as ecchi, such as “Mato Seihei no Slave” and “Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete” this season. However, the criticism is not directed towards this type of productions, but towards those that introduce ecchi scenes out of nowhere or simply as a resource to keep the audience glued to the screen.
Obviously, while some believe that “ecchi is never and will never be unnecessary“, others will agree is that it is precisely this type of thing that is why “It is dangerous to watch anime in public or with family“. After all, you never know if at some point a naked girl or a pair of tits will appear on screen in a series where you would never have expected it.
And this is why the topic became a debate on an Internet forum:
- «I can totally understand when camera angles are used to focus on girls’ breasts or asses. When I like the story I can ignore it, but it’s certainly the kind of thing I don’t watch anime in my living room for».
- «Erotic scenes that have nothing to do with the story give the impression that they are only trying to prove something, and begin to alienate viewers. I don’t want people to think that I don’t like ecchi, but when it’s present in a series, it automatically stops being one that I would recommend».
- «There are times when the story is interesting, but the forced ecchi scenes make it embarrassing to say I like it, let alone recommend it to anyone else. Once I was watching an anime in my living room thinking it was one without these types of scenes, and by chance my family came across it when they forced an ecchi scene.».
- «Many recent anime series include bath scenes and things like that. It’s disturbing and sometimes unnecessary. Even fighting animes include this type of content. If I’m watching a fighting anime, it’s because I want to see fights, not unnecessary and forced ecchi».
- «To be honest, I often like a story, but is it really necessary for girls’ tits to sway from side to side all the time? There seems to be no anime that can be taken seriously.».
- «Breasts don’t bother me much, but when they introduce yuri elements that lead nowhere, that’s embarrassing. Even though a friend had recommended a series to me saying it was a masterpiece, it was this kind of thing that turned me away».
- «I know it’s off topic, but I like details like Asuna from “Sword Art Online” and Rem from “Re:ZERO”. If you pay attention, you will see how her breasts increase in size as the story progresses and the years go by.».
- «I’m feeling that with Kusuriya no Hitorigoto. I had been watching an anime series with my children for a long time. I like flowers and plants, as well as poisons and Chinese-themed stories, but for some reason they put these types of scenes in when they talk about aphrodisiacs and things like that».
- «When I want to watch ecchi scenes, I start watching a series labeled as the ecchi genre. It is certainly annoying when, suddenly, a series begins to force these types of scenes into».
