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.”
