Anime fans often deride ecchi anime shows for compensating a poor story and bland characters with copious amounts of fanservice.
We’re not here to argue against those claims, but while fans love to talk about “thought-provoking” ecchi anime and “well-rounded” characters, the truth is that ecchi anime has a lot of fans.
However, there are some ecchi anime that put some effort into their stories and characters. While not on the level of Serial Experiments Lain or Perfect Blue, these ecchi anime series do provide some nice stories with their fanservice.
12. Prison School
The Ecchi: Spank me harder, master. I’m a full-blown m*sochist!
The Story: Five boys are admitted into the prestigious Hachimitsu Private Academy, which has recently become co-ed. The Unground Student Council elects to issue them a cruel punishment for trying to peep into the girl’s bath.
11. Monster Musume: Everyday Life With Monster Girls
The Ecchi: Lamia, slime girls, harpies, centaurs, spiders, succubi, mermaids, zombies, ogres, cyclopes, and human legs.
The Story: Due to a clerical error (and a lazy government worker), Kimihito is elected to be a caretaker for Miia the lamia as part of a cross-cultural exchange between humans and mystical creators. Kimihito quickly finds himself housing other monster girls and deals with society’s gaze.
10. My Bride is a Mermaid (Seto no Hanayome)
The Ecchi: Fish poontang.
The Story: Michishio accidentally falls into the sea and is saved by a mermaid. However, she comes from a mermaid yakuza family. According to their law, either Michishio or the mermaid must die…unless they partake in an awkward marriage.
9. Highschool of the Dead
The Ecchi: Weird boob physics, uncomfortable sexy zombies, and awkward camera angles.

8. Golden Boy
The Ecchi: Every one of your depraved fetishes in a borderline hentai package.

7. Demon King Daimao (Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou)
The Ecchi: Battle damaged clothes, a lewd female android, and a sea cucumber.

The Story: Ayumu is a victim of a serial killer, but is resurrected by a necromancer who has taken a vow of silence. He tries to find his killer while dealing with a vampire ninja clan and accidental stolen magical powers. You may or may not want to watch season 2 since it’s filler.

The Ecchi: Kaiki’s sexy gaze, beautiful head tilts, and the naughtiest toothbrush. Oh, and some normie grade stuff that no one cares about.
