While there are many anime genres, ecchi anime will arguably have a place in many otakus' hearts. In this list, I've honed in on my unadulterated love and years of "expert" knowledge in the field to detail the top 10 ecchi anime with the best fan service of all time.
it goes without saying that this reflects my views and opinions. Most of these are listed in no particular order, except for the last anime, which I strategically left for last (wink). Here are ten of the best ecchi anime series you can watch (or rather should watch) right now.
Ishuzoku Reviewers is a fantasy-comedy ecchi anime that follows a group of four adventurers who have taken it upon themselves to review all the brothels in their guild. So naturally, they leave no brothel unturned. With various races like Fairies, Elves, the obvious Cat girl, and even Salamander girls, Ishuzoku Reviewers is a must-watch.
Freezing is your classic harem and ecchi anime; only the human race is under siege by aliens that leave constant devastation in their wake. It's up to a young woman, Pandoras, and an army of young men (called Limiters) to stave off these aliens.
The story follows the male lead Kazuya Aoi, a Limiter, who mistakes Satellizer, a powerful Pandora, as his deceased sister. Satellizer realizes Kazuyas's touch doesn't drive her mad like other men and partners with him. However, like most harem anime, Kazuya has other love interests.
Gleipnir follows the male protagonist Shuuichi Kagaya, a seemingly average high schooler. One night, Shuuichi saves Claire Aoki from a burning building by transforming into a monster. Shuuichi drops his phone after saving Claire; she then uses it to try to find him. She later finds him and confronts Shuuichi about his ability to transform, which he denies. She then forces him to change and takes a picture to blackmail Shuuichi. This sparks the beginning of an anime with multiple twists and turns.
High School of the Dead is an action, horror, and gore Shounen anime. Protagonist Takashi Kimuro and his classmates attempt to survive a sudden zombie outbreak in their school. However, the group later embarks on a journey to reconnect with their family while dodging zombie attacks and cults forming along the way. There are some interesting plot and character developments.
No Game No Life is an Isekai strategy anime following stepsiblings Sora and Shiro, who dominate various gaming platforms under the alias “Blank.” So, given their gaming brilliance, they believe life is merely another dull game. They are later invited by the god of games (Tet) to compete in a series of board games for his throne.
This anime has ecchi and fan service in every single episode, with characters literally stripping off their clothes based on how good the food tastes. Food Wars follows Souma Yukihira's journey to becoming a great chef. He later enrolls in the prestigious Tootsuki Culinary Academy, where he meets classmates who challenge him in “Shokugeki,” an intense cooking competition to settle deputies between students.
Kill la Kill is an ecchi anime about Ryuuko Matoi searching for her father's killer. Her only lead is the invention of the Scissor Blade, of which she owns one-half. Her travels bring her to Honnouji Academy, ruled by Satsuki Kiryuuin, who turns out to be Ryuuko’s older sister.
Ryuuko stumbles upon a rare and sentient “Kamui” who calls itself Senketsu. Once this uniform gets in contact with Ryuuko’s blood, it awakens and attaches itself to her. Ryuuko is now armed with Senketsu and the Scissor Blade; she returns to the school to uncover the culprit behind her father's murder.
High School DxD is another ecchi and harem anime that is loved for its fan service. Issei Hyoudou is your typical high school pervert with dreams of owning a harem. However, after going on with a beautiful girl, who turns out to be a fallen angel, he is killed.
Issei gets a second chance at life when Rias Gremory, a top-class devil, revives him as her servant and recruits him to join the school's Occult Research Club. Issei now has to adjust to his new life and train to become stronger to survive the world of angels and devils.
Prison School tests the bonds and
Prison School is the perfect ecchi and comedy anime with a few romance scenes between episodes. The story follows a group of five boys who enroll in a previously all-girls Hachimitsu Private Academy, eager to make a good first impression and communicate with their fellow female students. The boys then take on the dangerous task of peeping into the girl's bath and are caught before being punished by being thrown into the school’s prison.
Seikon no Qwaser has 24 episodes and is quite an interesting anime, with an abundance of nudity and fan service. Moreover, it has a highly distracting and questionable plot that leaves you thinking, "what the f*ck did I just watch?" If you appreciate a woman’s bo0bies and are into breastfeeding (yes, you read that correctly), Seikon no Qwaser is for you.
I'll keep the synopsis purposefully vague; however, the anime follows Sasha, a super warrior, and Iron Qwaser (a kind of alchemist), who attempts to stave off local church deviants. However, there's a twist: to use his powers, he must consume soma (breast milk).
