Ecchi

Quick Summary

Derived from the letter "H" in hentai, but refers to playful, non-explicit sexual content. Think "lewd" or "pervy," but not pornographic.

In-Depth Explanation

Ecchi is the "softcore" to hentai's "hardcore." It involves things like panty shots, bouncing breasts, and accidental groping, but stops short of showing explicit sex. Many mainstream "Comedy" and "Harem" anime are ecchi.
