Ecchi
Ecchi eller H (japanska: エッチ ecchi/etchi) är en genrebeteckning för lätt erotiska inslag. Den används inom manga, anime och Hentai.
Definition och namngivning
Ecchi är japanskt men kommer från engelskans uttal av bokstaven H. Detta är i sin tur troligtvis en förkortning av det japanska ordet hentai – 'konstig' eller 'pervers'. Genren ska dock inte förväxlas med hentai, eftersom det bara förekommer viss nakenhet och inga genitalier visas.[1] Genren blandas nästan alltid med andra genrer, ofta humor och/eller romantik.[2] Ecchi-inslagen i historierna kan ofta röra "sökta" kameravinklar mot bröst eller höftpartier hos främst kvinnliga serie/-rollfigurer. Dessa inslag benämns på engelska ofta som fanservice[3].
Love Hina är ett exempel på en manga/anime som blandar ecchi och humor.

This is a drawing of female figure with typical elements from manga and anime to illustrate the term and genre ecchi. Regarding this topic the girl is drawn in a position that would enable it to leave out the clothes entirely without showing any primary sexual characteristics. The clothes itself are a partially transparent dress, which is as common as wet clothes. The background shows a blue sky with a blossom sakura tree, which is a fairly often used motif in manga and anime.[1] The scene itself is represented in dutch angle, which exploits the length of the diagonal, thus laying the focus on the character itself.
In Japanese slang, ecchi denotes everything that can be seen as "dirty", "naughty", "frivolous" or "perverted", but the undertone is milder and not usually seen as insulting as the term "hentai". The term ecchi also denotes a fairly common genre/aspect of manga and anime which features (female) characters in tight, very short, nearly transparent, askew clothing, which is often seen as "rampant fan service". It doesn't show any sexual intercourse or primary sexual characteristics, but plays with suggestions − usually found in comedic Shōnen/Seinen manga, harem anime or bishōjo (美少女, literally "beautiful young girl") illustrations.
The image itself was created with Inkscape, a vector graphics program which directly supports SVG as the native storage format, making it very easy to create variations of this image, since every part can be reused without loss of quality. Note that an PNG version is available since not all SVG renderers are capable of displaying the image correctly. librsvg, the current renderer used by Wikimedia, has some technical issues with thumbnails and filters, which hopefully will be fixed in future.
