Fan Service, Ecchi, Hentai

Fan Service, Ecchi, Hentai – These are different terms for varying degrees of sexual content. Fan Service usually refers to non-explicit titillation (i.e. panty shots, jiggle, skimpy bathing suits). Ecchi is more explicit and pretty much implies frontal nudity. Hentai is actual porn. Ecchi dialogue is off-color without outright using explicitly crude words. The words “ecchi” and “hentai” are also used to refer to mild or big-league perverts respectively. (“Ecchi” is the Japanized pronunciation of the letter “H”, which is the first letter in the Romaji spelling of “Hentai”.) Some say that these terms apply equally to male and female characters, but at least 90% of it is female fan service intended to please male audience members. I’ve begun to see the term “man service” used to refer to that residual 10%. Japan termin.
