Bikini Warriors was a lot of fun at times even if each episode was only about five minutes long. Which is why I look forward to owning BW on blu-ray. Smile

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.

Ah okay fair enough I did misunderstand, thought you were just bashing in general. My apologies. Bit harsh on Bikini Warriors though as there is only so much you can do in a total of 36 minutes.

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?
It's not much of a big thing, a lot of these 13 episode shows get an OVA or 2.

The desks of the animators after creating these type of series must be white af.

Hentai has now become mostly about as sadistic and rapey as possible, which ain't my cup of tea. The beauty of these ecchi shows is that they are a hell lot more lighthearted and fun to watch, generally speaking. Besides, there's nothing wrong with more ecchi shows.

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

Most hentais have very low budget, they are censored anyway, have low-level seiyuus (though there are some exceptions, but most hentai seiyuus have very generic voices that don't stand out too much), and they are most often not entertaining and rather disgusting. Ecchi is like comedy with erotic and I love boobs. Hentai boobs aren't always good.

Money talks and bullshit walks beside the obvious those complaining have never watched the show. Its a comedy show you dips, it makes fun of itself also 4 minute episodes... come on you shouldn't take it that seriously. Listen I know you hate boobs and its pointless to even post about it but the old adage "sex sells" has never stopped since the beginning of time so why would you think it would now?

Japanese people will make up any logic that'd make females run around in skimpy outfit. It's very sad to me that these kind of series are so popular. Proves that so many people are perverts. That being said, I kinda feel sad for girls who watch animes and have to see boob/ass shots every few minutes. I wonder how they feel about it, huh.

Is not very different from the western comics Red Sonja and some of Xena: Warrior Princess battle outfits. Skimpy outfits are also popular in the west.

These series are super subtle in comparison to current japanese creations.

Considering there's a massive porn industry in the West, I'm very certain the Japanese aren't the only ones who are into sex. Not to mention, the lack of porn industry can usually be found in oppressive countries or those that are pro-censorship. So I'd say sex in media is a sign of countries that are more liberal or pro-freedom of speech.

And if you don't like fanservice, don't watch it. I don't force myself to watch BL/yaoi that is fanservice aimed at girls. Stop being so entitled and think that everything has to be aimed at you.

Another reason some people may enjoy the extreme fan-service series is because it depicts situations that in real life would be considered "rape" or "sexual assault" in many jurisdictions.

If you didn't notice that yet, 90% of teen+ Animes currently have panty/boobs shots, etc. Even if they are about killing zombies or people murdering each other constantly... Even if I'd watch show that doesn't have an ecchi marking on it, there's a gigantic chance I'll still have to look on some bewbs or butts filling screen for a few seconds. Yes, it makes Japan more perverted than other countries because they don't get an idea of people not wanting to get randomly horny.
