Howdy /e/! /d/ greets you!

I have a few questions... What exactly is ecchi? I've never quite understood. I've gotten several definitions:

1) Hentai, just one girl, no sexual stimulation. Basicaly, nudity.
2) Breasts only, suggestive pose.
3) Nudity, not suggestive whatsoever.


What exactly... is... ecchi?

Female nudity without a penis.

There is no used definition. Hentai means perverse and ecchi is the sound you would make to pronounce H in jap and it always refers to the H as in Hentai.

Hentai and Ecchi are by definition the same but it is generally used as hentai being hardcore, ecchi being soft

Don't forget the link Anime With Ecchi. I made that long ago.

It's kinda the the difference between softcore and hardcore.

Or between being dirty and being perverted.

As far as the boards here go, I think ecchi is generally for "naughty" stuff, and hentai is for "explicit" stuff. Obviously a grey area, but you get the idea.
