Whether you’re a seasoned ecchi fan or just curious, this guide covers everything you need—from where to stream to which titles to watch, and how to avoid low-quality or pirated sites.

Ecchi (エッチ) is a Japanese slang term meaning “playfully sexual” and is commonly used to describe anime that includes provocative content, fan service, and suggestive themes—but without explicit adult scenes. It’s tamer than hentai, often comedic, and usually combined with romance, action, or fantasy.

Popular examples include:

• Highschool DxD
  
• Prison School
  
• To Love Ru
  
• Ikki Tousen

Censorship in ecchi anime can include:

• Light beams covering nudity
