00:00Eki is a sub-genre of anime characterized by mild or suggestive sexual content,
00:05with abundant fan service but without showing explicit pornographic scenes. Unlike hentai,
00:10Eki uses comedy and erotic innuendo to attract audiences, frequently appearing in shounen and
00:16seinen manga with a harem or romantic style. Its origins date back to the 1960s, when creators
00:22such as Go Nagai introduced eroticism into manga, for example, with Herenshi Gakuen.
00:27In the following decades, many influential anime series pioneered the integration of fan service,
00:33making Eki one of the most exported and popular genres worldwide. Over time, Eki has evolved to

12:06in the 2000s, integrating fan service into shonen and harem, until it reached more varied formats,
12:12parodies, suspense anime with fan service, romantic comedies. Currently, there is a noticeable decline
12:18in new purely Eki titles, partly because society is less tolerant of light sexualization and due to
12:24changes in the industry, which now favors more elaborate productions. Even so, Eki continues to
12:30be influential, many mainstream series include doses of fan service inspired by the classics of this
12:36genre. In short, Eki has left its mark on Japanese animation by popularizing fan service and romantic
12:41comedy, and although its profile may change over time, its impact endures in the way characters are
12:47designed in comedy and eroticism are combined in anime.
