Hello! Please keep this thread spoiler free. I’d rather go back into this with a clear state of mind.

So I watched a couple of episodes of Haruhi Suzumiya back around 2018-ish, right as Crunchyroll and Funimation had severed ties and removed their “exclusives” off each other’s sites. Because I’d been watching on Crunchyroll and didn’t have a Funimation account, I lost all access to this anime and forgot about it over time.

Now it’s reappeared on Crunchy and I have the time and opportunity to rewatch it. However… I remember seeing a couple of perverted-type scenes where they’d constantly try to lewd the redheaded girl. Now I’m willing to watch ecchi and all that (in fact, I love a good ecchi!), but… When a show is more than just mindless fanservice, I want to be able to focus on the plot and not all the anime tiddie being thrown at me on the side.

I get that Haruhi is partially a comedy, and most comedy anime like to shove tiddies in your face. However… How “bad” is the ecchi here? Is the whole gag with the redhead’s big tiddies only played once or twice, or is this something I have to worry about viewing every two seconds?

Please let me know!! I’d appreciate it!

The ecchi gets sidelined when it needs to be but it is a constant. Asahina (the red head girl) wearing lewd outfits is a sort of running gag so don’t expect her lewdness going away, although the other girls aren’t really shown in that way to much throughout the series

It’s a use for comedy which can be funny at times and don’t worry they don’t do it as much as you think. It has been a little while since I’ve watched it so I could be completely wrong.

Almost not at all.
Mikuru has a big booba and that's it.

It's not a perverted show. Also why do people like ecchi.

Actually, I don’t care about anyone else’s opinions! Frankly, that’s the last thing I could care about. The fact of the matter is that I have a hard time dropping things. If this is an anime I won’t be able to get into due to all the fanservice, I want to know so I can steer clear of it altogether. If I start it and find out I hate it, I won’t be able to drop it, so I’ll end up forcing myself to consume every ounce of content from this anime. That’s why I asked such a question. ^^
I think I’ll be trying Haruhi again though! I mean, from what others have said, the ecchi moments aren’t too terrible (and apparently those moments are mainly focused on Asahina, so…), and I already think the plot’ll be fun to see in action, so I’ll likely be watching it when I have the chance! :)
Thank you for your opinion. ^^


Ah!! And as for the others who responded to my forum blog… Thank you for all your insight! I don’t have the motivation to make another response to all of you, but if you see this, then please know I really appreciated what you had to say! After some consideration, I’ll give Haruhi another try sometime.

Thank you all for the help!!

Honestly? I couldn’t say! I mean, I think some people use it to get off, but that’s absolutely not my reason. I really just find it entertaining! People enjoy ecchis for many different reasons though, so you’ll have to wait on other answers to get an idea of why they do it.

don't worry. Haruhi is not Ecchi. undressing mikuru and dressing her up on some sort of "sexy" outfit is a running gag, nonetheless it's never as ecchi as some other more focused shows on it.

Now that you mention it, I do remember there being a fair amount of it. But that's not what I remember the show for, so I guess the rest of the plot is pretty good. Of course, I also love the endless eight, and I think the movie is the best part of the series. So take my opinion with a grain of salt.

No. But you'll see Haruhi in a bikini for eight episodes straight in a certain arc.

No pantyshots and no bath scenes. At worst the bunny suits which are displayed in a the less sexy manner possible. and Haruhi incommodating Mikuru for being cute, and that's it.

I remember only two ecchi scene, that not the anime subject. It is just a recurring joke with one character.
