9 Ecchi Anime That You Need To Watch Right Now!

 

#1 Shimoneta

Shimoneta is that one anime I thought looked too weird, looking from the outside in. But it’s made by J.C Staff so I gave it a go. I never looked back. Shimoneta feels like an anime that takes the piss out of SJW culture in the USA. The reason being the theme is about a society where dirty jokes and lewdness is consider “filthy”. You can even be locked up by the decency police and thrown in jail for doing it. If you want a good laugh and a Ecchi anime that’s creative and doesn’t hold back, try this.

#2 How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend

How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend is a good title for an anime. It’s why I was drawn to it in the first place.

It’s about the main character: Tomoya, and his desire to create a dating sim game as an Otaku.

3 girls end up joining him and helping him create this game. The girls are also Otakus with their own careers (authors, etc). Except for one.

Breaking the 4th wall, comedic elements, slice of life and a good mix of characters and personalities.

#3 Kill La Kill

Kill La Kill must be one of the greatest Ecchi anime of all time. And it’s not surprising why when you see how it plays out.

Even as an anime in general it’s solid.

Think of it like Gintama or Konosuba. Both of these comedy anime point fingers at cliches and tropes in anime, and then turn that into an art.

Kill La Kill is similar. So many tropes and cliches are made fun of to the extreme, especially Ecchi style cliches. And it turns it into a work of art and differentiates itself from the crowd.

If you’re into DBZ or action anime of that nature, Kill La Kill delivers the goods on top of everything else.

#4 Uzaki Chan Wants To Hang Out

Uzaki Chan Wants To Hang Out isn’t my favorite Ecchi anime in the slightest. I’d be lying to say that.

I was mostly into it for the drama it caused, and the controversy it stirred. But after watching it, the truth is it’s not a bad show.

It’s decent and is something to watch if you want a “slice of life” style of Ecchi in your life.

The main theme is an introvert who’s being pestered by an extrovert, and how they end up “hanging out” together.

The long and short of it.

#5 Food Wars

Food Wars is an Ecchi I’ve rated the highest of any, probably. Even more than Kill La Kill.

It’s not the type of anime that can be compared to others, even if you’re talking about anime in general.

The food aspect, the chefs, the competitive spirit, and the mix of shonen is something different.

The way they exaggerated reactions to food that tastes good, and somehow turns it into fan service (and a work of art) is special.

#6 Asterisk War

Asterisk War seems to be a polarizing anime.

Some people really love it. Others think it’s a rip off from Chivalry Of A Failed Knight.

And many hate it.

But once you get through the first half or so of the first season, Asterisk War starts to climb in quality.

The cliches start to fade away gradually, the action gets better, and the story gets slightly darker and picks itself up.

Asterisk War is about tournaments and Genestella’s (humans with supernatural abilities) who compete for the #1 spot.

#7 Haganai: I Don’t Have Many Friends

Haganai is an anime you don’t hear too often in the Ecchi crowd. Or even in the slice of life/comedy crowd these days.

It’s an anime about making friends. 2 main characters create “the neighbours club” and begin to make more friends from that point forward.

Gradually the anime starts to highlight bullying, loneliness, and obviously fan service where it counts.

Great protagonist.

#8 Monogatari

Monogatari is made by studio SHAFT, a studio also known for Madoka Magica and Nisekoi. It has its signature traits taken from SHAFT like the head tilts and designs.

This anime is a lot of things, vampires being one of them. With some of the heaviest dialogue you’ll ever see in an anime.

Talking, conversation and dialogue is Monogatari‘s strong point. And it does it without boring you to death.

If you never thought Ecchi could be thought provoking, Monogatari will prove you wrong.

#9 Sankarea: Undying Love

Sankarea is a weird anime, there’s no other way around it.

The main character: Chihiro is a guy who wants a zombie girlfriend because normal girls don’t do it for him.

Realistically it’s impossible, but this anime is also a supernatural horror and he ends up having his wish come true.

For a short series (and a strange one) it’s surprisingly good. With some strong themes that will make your stomach turn.
