No.
Hentai is penetration. Ecchi is softcore.

Ecchi shows everything but penetration. If it shows penetration it is considered hentai. Basicly ecchi is softcore and hentai is hardcore.

This is a 800*600px large JPEG picture originally named "triptych_ev_092.jpg", but renamed by the imageboard. The first post of this thread (by first post, I mean the OP,>>331303) is a detail of this picture.

Also, this is a picture of the same girl, but in a different situation. Notice the different filename.

This definition only applies on 4chan, however. It'd be better to discuss how the actual boards on this site are, rather than definitions for words which are rather different in their language of origin.

No, Pantsu shots are definitely ecchi. As are crazy bikinis, bodypaint, lingerie, Y-shirts, Hadaka Apron...

You don't have to see nudity for something to be ecchi, in fact, it can be even more ecchi if you can't.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecchi

Ecchi (or Etchi, from the Japanese ??? etchi) is derived from a Japanese word meaning "lewd" or "naughty" when used as an adjective, and can refer to a pervert when used as a noun or sexual intercourse when used as a verb.

Japanese usage

Ecchi as an adjective can be translated as lewd or sexy, while as a verb it can be translated as sexual intercourse, e.g. to do ecchi (ecchi suru) would mean to have sex. The word sekkusu is also used in Japan for sex, and Japanese native words for sex (such as ?? seik?) are often replaced by words of foreign origin such as sekkusu or neologisms such as ecchi. The nuance of ecchi varies with context, but in general the word itself is comparable in nuance to the English words "naughty" or "dirty" (when used as an adjective). The prefix "H-" is sometimes used to refer to pornographic genres: H-anime, H-manga, etc.

Rather it is clothed or naked, front or back or straight up between the legs. Here on 4chan anything that does not show penetration is Ecchi.

The real meaning elsewhere however is light nudity or suggestive clothing with no exposed pubes. Breast and ass are ok but beyond that goes into the realm of hentai.

Is it time for the monthly Definitionrape again?
I'll be damned.
>> ICAMETOO
It wouldnt happen if 4chan would stick to the same definition the rest of the internet does. But no, they have to have they're own fucked up definition of what is ecchi and cause everyone to second guess what they are posting.

and what is the internet definition?

ecchi is anything but hardcore stuff, oh and no male genitalia, but female genitalia is fine, but given this is a male dominated area, its only understandable that its mostly if not all female related imagery
