Why people even watch ecchi like this? It's like hentai without fuxking. If you want nude chicks then go watch hentai.

reasons may include:

- ecchi anime have higher budgets = better animation

- certain fans like hearing their favorite seiyuu in lewd ecchi anime since they'd never do hentai/eroge work (if they did certainly wouldn't be under their real name)

- sometimes there's an unexpected surprise like a well done soundtrack (e.g. Queen's Blade)

It's another resurgence of bikini clad warriors. Are they still doing Queens Blade. Seems like this is another collab of artist making characters. I see Tony is on board.

Haha.

I wonder if Funimation will be able to release this later.

Bikini Warriors was actually clever at times. It did a good job at poking fun at RPG tropes.

That said, a LOT of ecchi would be better off as hentai.

This gets OVAs yet so many masterpiece shows go unnoticed? Why does Japan keep missing out on all the good series? Why do they not sell well?

There are exceptions, but it seems like what's popular over there never does as well as pandering material. I'd be lying if I said Hollywood was different, but there's gotta be a way for more mature works to make money.

And no, this show isn't mature. Fanservice for the sake of fanservice is simply immature, ironically, as it treats the viewer like an idiot.

More Bikini Warriors is good by me, very funny short series so more always welcome.

So basically you're saying you don't like it, why are they making something you don't like? You can just ignore it you know instead of moaning about why they aren't catering to your needs.

uh its why its called a fanservice/ ecchi series. its more or less a toned down version of highschool dxd since the fanservice for bikini warriors is very risky. but i am not surprised. this is being created by the same studio that did Queens Blade and Valkyrie Drive Mermaid.

if this series got licensed by funi, it makes me wonder and hope that valkyrie drive also gets licensed and this time included with an english dub and not pull a sentai/section 23 and give an ecchi/fanservice series names OniAi the sub only treatment.

Maybe some people prefer hentai with less fuxking. Not everyone as hardcore as you. Why does it bother you? They don't make enough hentai anymore?

Don't like - don't watch it. Problem solved.

Because I don't want the "fuxking". I don't care for hentai, and I would much rather watch ecchi anime. Why the hell do you care so much anyways?

-Good animation.
-Good fan-service
-Good seiyuu
-Cute characters
-Good soundtrack
-Entertaining
-Sometimes have good plot like in Queen's Blade, DxD, Shinmai Maou no Testament

And

If you don't want nude girls on your anime then go watch something else. There are plenty of good anime without fan-service, if you hate it that much Wink

P.S. Some hentai have surprising good plots.

You remember me of an editor of Del Rey Manga when said that "Negima! Magister Negi Magi, which contained fan service, should be rated as "for immature readers 16+"

But who cares if is mature or not. As long as it gain so many fans, the objective of the anime is accomplished. It don't treat the viewer like a idiot. This anime knows exactly what the fan-service loving viewer are looking for and delivers.

You misunderstand me. There are good ecchi series. This is not one of them.

'Good' and 'bad' don't necessarily line up with what I'm like. I'm just saying this is a poorly made series.
