Best Ecchi Anime to Watch Right Away

1. No Game No Life

"No Game, No Life" is an anime movie released in 2014. This fantasy-filled show follows two siblings who are not interested in any education or furthering their careers as online gamers. (1)

The younger sibling, Sora, and older sibling, Shiro are the best players in the fictional world of Disboard, where the game only appears to be high stake board games. Suppose you enjoy action shows with some cute romantic scenes mixed in between. 

In that case, you can skip this film unless you are very good at appreciating a slower story progression and prefer to watch how character relationships get built up over time.

2. Kill La Kill

Kill la Kill is an exciting anime that portrays the heroine Ryuuko Matoi as she attempts to avenge her father by relying on the scissor blade of doom. (2)

The series is similar to other action, ecchi anime out at the moment, but it has a special place in my heart because it was one of those series that made me feel everything while watching - and let's face it, how many can say they've had that feeling? In addition to all of this, there's also the fact that you're never really sure what kind of adventure these characters are going to have next. 

Take Sanageyama, for example - his main weapon is a fish but only for kitchen use! You'll be laughing at him until you decide whether or not you're going to watch anymore.

3. Nanatsu No Taizai

'Nanatsu no Taizai' is an ecchi anime that follows a group of knights and the two main protagonists, Elizabeth and Meliodas. The ecchi part in this anime comes from multiple strong sexy characters and scenes. (3)

However, it remains relatively tasteful compared to other trashy recent additions to this famous genre that devolve into borderline without any real plot development or characterization.

There are frequent power level measurements accompanied by physical displays like Escanor's transformation, which is great for viewers who enjoy testing their strength against others using online fighting games.

4. Rosario To Vampire

By containing this anime on our list, it doesn't mean that it is an anime series with an incredibly complex plot or characters. It's a fun with some ecchi series that contains 13 episodes of 25 minutes each. (4)

Though you're the kind of mainstream anime viewer who prefers your storylines to be smarter, you may not enjoy it as much as others who are fans of the female-oriented genre. This anime has been popular amongst ecchi fanatics. Visit GearOtaku for more details.

5. Demon King Daimao

Following a dream to make a name for himself in magic, Akuto joins Constant Magic Academy, in which he makes friends with Junko Hattori who has the same dream. (5)

Being regularly harassed by the Student Council because of their belief that he will become an evil overlord and also other students who are connected to him sexually despite his character personality, can Akuto ever have his impossible dream? Let's watch to find out.

6. Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry

Most animes in this line that have been created are related to fantasy or supernatural themes. This is somewhat of a fetish, and most of these anime comply with this trend. 'Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry follows the same trend and has been adapted into an anime. However, compared to many other ecchi anime, this series is better in quality. (6)

Both the animation and art are decently good, although these two aspects don't shine as others might. The music within the anime also fits nicely with what's presented on-screen at any given moment.

There are only twelve chaps for this series, so each episode is around 23 minutes long for your convenience. The series has gained more than little popularity following its release.

7. Sekirei

It's easy to dismiss 'Sekirei' as another anime that panders to the ecchi fans with plenty of fan service and scantily clad women. But what makes this anime stand out is its strong sense of humor, top-notch voice acting, and genuinely exciting action sequences. (7)

It may try a little too hard with all the gratuitous nudity, but there's no denying it is plenty entertaining to watch. This especially holds during the later episodes when the series builds up the characters' relationships with each other and focuses more on their personalities than constantly showing them in sexual situations.

The show might ring misogynistic for some, but because everyone (women included) is fleshed out so well, it's hard not to become invested in these characters and their quest for happiness by the end!

8. Yuragi-Sou No Yuuna-San

The next supernatural anime with ecchi airs tonight. If you'd like to watch sexy characters that are fantastical and supernatural, then look no further than 'Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san'. The series has 12 episodes, each last for nearly 25 minutes. (8)

I will caution you to avoid too heavily involved in it – largely because most shows in the genre don't bring much more to the table than fanservice and busty characters, though if that's your thing, there's plenty of it here.

9. Sankarea

Another anime in the list is a unique one. 'Sankarea' has a very original premise, and even the title itself describes how the heroine will become. Chihiro Furuya, who is obsessed with zombies, goes so far as to want his zombie girlfriend. His wish gets granted when he finds the remedy for creating such a girl by accident while trying to revive his dead pet cat. (9)

The girl who accidentally drinks this strange potion is Rea Sanka, a young runaway who wishes to die because she thinks her undead existence would be easier than living day-to-day as she does.

We find out that becoming undead doesn't always mean being creepy and lifeless, but sometimes a whole other person is hiding inside. Check out GearOtaku with details.

10. Kanokon

This anime is about a shy high school boy named Kouta who wishes he could have normal interactions with the girls he likes. Unfortunately, fox girls (who are known to possess women) love him, and they constantly pee on him while rubbing themselves against him in public! Kouta's life gets harder and harder every day. (10)

Conclusion
