Can ecchi be a detriment to a good story?
Why?
E
Mason Moore
Lucas Morgan
No it is not detrimental, because it is good.
Julian Edwards
No, it can't
Lincoln Jackson
yes but usually not
Bentley Johnson
Boob sumo? This should be a thing.
Nicholas Young
Yes, if it happens in the middle of a season-ending climax scene that's usually serious and heavy in tone. But I don't ever recall echi getting shoved in that way in any anime, so no.
William Hall
How? That's like asking if action is detrimental to a good story.
Dylan Reyes
There's keijo!!!
John Cruz
Yeah. It's inherently banal and bereft of merit, so it only "works" in very low stakes, non-serious stories. Otherwise, it's a jarring distraction and also wastes screen time.
Cameron Price
You sound pretentious as shit.
Isaiah Campbell
>That's like asking if action is detrimental
But it is.
Bentley Williams
It works if the girls are actually hot which is rare in ecchi anime
Jonathan Anderson
ecchi is everything japanese animation can offer
Matthew Reed
I know I got turned off of the DxD anime because of a boob flopping out after someone died.
Jaxon Anderson
nice shitty bitrate
Sebastian Wood
both of these thing are detrimental to a good story as they typically never build on the core themes of the narrative
Jaxson Wood
Too much of anything can be a detriment to a good story. The key is always in balance.
David Rivera
....What?
Austin Jones
Only to the retarded
Easton Miller
If the story can be undermined so easily than it probably wasn't that good to start
Connor Diaz
Of course it can. So can comedy.
There's a time and place for everything. And sometimes a story calls for sobriety.
