>>222860Softcore porn basically. Lots of sexual content, but nothing explicitly pornographic. So bare breasts, heavy petting, etc, but no on-screen genitals. Ecchi can range from mild in sexual content (like many seasonal harem shows) to very heavy (Kiss x Sis, High School DxD etc).
Casuals often over-apply the term, calling any show with sexual fanservice of any kind "ecchi," because prudes cannot tolerate any kind of sexuality in their entertainment.
