Top 60 Best Ecchi Anime Of All Time [The Ultimate Lewd Anime List]

 

Before the Isekai revolution, it was Ecchi or Lewd that dominated the anime landscape. This genre is used to categorize animes that have sexual overtones in them.

 

In short, ecchi is soft-core. It should not be confused with Hentai anime. Hentai animes are about fetish or perversion.

 

This genre may be present in some Ecchi animes. There are some, in the list below.

 

Some of the common ecchi representations are:

 

• Double-meaning or double-entendre dialogues
• Suggestive images and visuals
• Portraying certain vulgarities
• Exposure or revealing clothing etc

 

Ecchi themes in the anime are mostly a part of fan service. Now, what’s that?

 

It’s a non-relevant or harmless addition in fiction. It’s mostly added to engage and entertain the audience.

 

This does not add any value or substance to the plot. It is a means of giving the viewers some extra stuff to stay put.

 

We, at ENTOIN, have created a list of Ecchi animes for you to watch.

 

 

 

1. Food Wars: Shokugeki No Soma

 

 

 

Here’s the most recommended anime on this list – Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma. It’s set in the backdrop of a school genre with an ecchi vibe throughout the plot.

 

It had 24 episodes and aired in 2015. Souma Yukihara is the protagonist here.

 

He’s the son of a chef who worked at his own restaurant. He learned culinary skills from his father and also used them to help his family.

 

He had the talent for serving guests. One day his father closes down the restaurant.

 

So Souma goes to a coveted cooking academy. They had a rigorous training regime that had food wars.

 

These were intense cooking shows and competitions. But, there is more to that. His skills are soon put to a test there.

 

Will he and his peers survive? See for yourself to find out.

 

Food Wars has a different vibe to it. And that vibe makes it so much more special and fun to watch as an anime fan. The sheer entertainment that you can receive as a viewer is off-charts.

High School DxD is something that’s way beyond incredible. It’s a show that doesn’t rely on its ecchi elements completely.
