i would like to discuss about what u think of hentai and ecchi, and in particular Ah! My Goddess doujinshis, hentai and ecchi.
i'll make myself clear at first, i dont mind nude pics of Belldandy where you can see all the fine details, as long as its done beautifully and in good taste. But if its something sick like what u see in hardcore porn movies then i would be one of the first to condemn and criticise it. Such things ruin the image of Belldandy and is basically sick, i also hate the lesbo stuff people come up with aswell.
BTW i've made poll in the subject matter, so please make your poll.

i agree things that make belldandy look bad are not good pics, but simple things that dont try to bring the thought of sex into the pic are good.

Hmmm, a good question.
I admit I'm a bit hypocritical in that I think women are beautiful. If I were a bit more openminded I'd have said that the human body is beautiful period. LOL unfortunately I just don't really feel comfy with the thought of looking at male nudes. As to good taste, that's highly subjective, after all what's the line between erotica and pornography. (Ack! Opened a kettle of fish there.) I think that as long as the apparent intent is artisitc in nature that it's not that big of a problem.
Everyone's taste are different, I have several friends that follow "alternate lifestyles" and are very happy with their lives. That and they'd kick me in the tush hard enough to make me taller if I criticized them about their choices. (women can be sooo violent. j/k) So I'd say if you come across something you don't like, don't look, or pass the url to someone else. No support, no incentive. I tend to be disinclined to telling people no don't do that since I'd rather not have people tell me not to do stuff either.

... i don't really care... some ecchi pics can be really nice though... but hentaï is.... well i don't like hentaï (it's better in real life i suppose)

quote Morphee: " it's better in real life i suppose" hahaha how true that statement can be! hahaha

i really dont mind ecchi at all, if you think about it it's not really that offending, in fact a lot of anime is really funny because of the ecchi.

Well through an artists percpective I think nudity can be a beautiful think when portrayed correctly ^-^ Don't take me wrong when I say this but it seems alsmost unatural to wear cloths, i suppose thats another thing that seperates humans from animals. However Im not a big believer in porn and anything that seems to disrespect the body, i think things like that should remain between a couple, no more, no less.
Although i do have a question, what exactly is ecchi? Is that basically not so sexual nudity?

I don't mind about icchi but I don't like hentai.I have a ecchi pic of Bell & the art is very nice.

Yes I agree with Kitori on what she says about art and stuff, thats a good point u have.

in answer to ur question, ecchi is a milder version of hentai, i cant really explain it, its like a cheeky nudy anime thing.

Eiken would be Ecchi...

La Blue Girl would be Hentai...

I always assumed the line was penetration (implied or otherwise).

Hmmm, good point I hadn't given it too much thought in general. I had just sort of lumped it all into a category of erotica and accepted that there's some out there in good taste and some that indicate that the "artist" needs counseling. j/k

i think i must be missing something here, i didnt quite get what u guys just said there.

I have never seen 'la Blue Girl' is it a taseful anime, or just something for guys?

;_; Kitori!!!!
Hey there. Be nice. ROFL There are women out there who like those certain "videos" too. Soo Nyahhh!:P
But, Honestly you'd have to ask someone else as to what La Blue Girl is like. Although I could tell you bout "Love Hina". But that's more comedy/romance. With some "borderline" ecchi for situational humour thrown in.

i too do not know what LA Blue Girl is. btw Chonrad what is this ROFL you seem to use all the time? what does it stand for?

I love the Love Hina series and i wouldnt class it as echhi.

hmmmmm......."I DON'T LIKE HENTAI!!!!" ecchi???? hmmmmm I dont know........Even if you ignore whats out there....what you ignore is still out there so I couldn't just ignore it.......People do such bad things to anime...is it just for greed of money????? Belldandy so awsome but you dont have to take it that far........!!!! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY SO MANY HENTAI SITES!!!!!!....sometimes when you search for something about anime.....windows such as the hentai sites usually will come up....because there are soooo many sites that relates to what you are trying to find!!!!!! TOOO MANY HENATIII SITES!!!!! SOMEONE STOP THIS!!!!!
