Examples

“Just to clarify KareKano really only has Ecchiness in the form of Asaba and even then it's...whacked.”

“...Demo... you shouldn't watch it all at once, you should savour your ecchiness like a fine wine. You see, ecchiness is very much like a beautiful woman. Hard to see the ecchi side is. You pay, you wait, you pay, you wait - sometimes you only get as far as customs, sometimes you get all the way... but pay, always you will. Sometimes it seems that if there's a bright center to the ecchiness, you're on the planet that it's farthest from. But do not despair, alone you are not. For I too want to learn the ways of the ecchi and become a hentai like my father.”

“This episode rivals some of the worst of the Warner Brothers or H&B cartoons from 40 years ago in terms of having unfunny humour, pointless situations and poor animation. Even the supposed "ecchiness" is pathetic - there's more ecchiness in most episodes of Keroro Gunsou and that is broadcast at 10 AM on Saturday mornings.”

“And the creators of the show were smart enough to be able to successfully pull off a feel-good serious ending that didn't contain ecchiness but that still stayed entertaining and true to the overall spirit of the series.”
