MAL Rated 6.77, Ranked #4183 | Aired Fall 2010 | Produced by feel.
Yosuga no Sora is based on an adult visual novel so all the girls in here have their own story with the protagonist. Filled with almost a sex scene every episode, rather than being an ecchi anime, it almost borders on hentai.

Strike the Blood
MAL Rated 7.47, Ranked #1657 | Aired Fall 2013 | Produced by Silver Link and Connect

To LOVE-Ru
MAL Rated 7.37, Ranked #2034 | Aired Spring 2008 | Produced by Xebec
In this anime, groping breasts is another way of saying, "Will you marry me?". It's your typical harem show with a wuss for a main character and a variety of sexy girls wanting to have him for themselves. It's mindless entertainment and fun to watch especially for the solid ecchi moments.
Well, did these ecchi titles get your heart thumping and nose bleeding?
