The same Wikipedia article states it was in the 80s that エッチ started to be used to refer to sex (or insinuating imagery, etc.) in general. | |

| Mar 13, 2017 at 15:23 | comment | added | passerby | I can't comment the answer above, so I'm just going to do it here. IMO, again from my viewing of anime, naruto's answer is not quite correct. Nijigen simply means what 'anime style works' or 'anime' means in Internet English. | |
