Comedy, no more?

AvatarI've witnessed over the seasons what seems to be a slow decrease in comedy anime. Not just the usual comedy that comes with certain genres of anime, but actual comedy anime, much like Ouran High School Host Club or Seto no Hanayome. What happened to good old "ecchi-less" comedy? I like to be able to watch a good anime that will make me enjoy a good laugh without having to worry about what peers might think if they walked in on me. I have absolutely nothing against ecchi anime but when it replaces one of my favorite genres well it bothers me. Makes you wonder "are the japanese really that perverted?" Sure 'oppai', 'pantsu', 'mizugi' etc are all nice to watch but they get old after a while. Its almost as though you already know what's going to happen and even expect it. The repetitiveness of events and mishaps in anime are all short of creativity and innovation.

There are still some good shows which did well in recent seasons, one of them being Nyan Koi! and even though this one had its share of anime cliches such as the well known 'nekomimi' and a bit of 'tsundere' it was still quite hilarious and enjoyable. My whole point is, it is ok to use these as means to get people's attention, but don't make them the main focus, there is always room for creativity.
