You are clearly criticizing MeMeMe's story, I suggest your rephrase the statement "Just like ecchi anime. Has ecchi ever had a good story?".

Of course it's for grabbing attention and it worked gloriously, it grabbed your attention then it showed the real goods beneath the skirt. Grand speeches and works often have a dramatic or compelling reason to convince their audience to at least try their work, otherwise they'll just leave at the start this is the same. If it didn't have those heavily sexual elements then the message for depicting the often grotesque fantasies of femininity that a NEET has(or that society has painted a NEET to have) wouldn't have been portrayed properly. Most of the sexual animations seemed like a gross perversion of reality as if the fanservice characters were trying so hard to convince the audience that they were attractive that they ended up being repulsive, which is the point seeing as Hanachan begged Syuchan not to leave her.

If this was as shallow as the countless ecchi anime that come in droves every season, designed with the intention that it's story was nonexistent why put effort into it? Why they design lyrics to tell both HANA's then Hanachan's perspective when they could have just thumped away with the music? Why would they depict the ME!ME!ME!s as Syuchan's fantasy then quickly contort them into these grotesque cannibals? Isn't that contradictory to arousing the general audience(A few are into that but only a few)? It's because the work is designed to make you question why they do these things and enjoy piecing together the messages, stories and characters using every suggestive action they put into the animation. I don't see this as generic ecchi anime because it provoked thought from the viewer, even if some of the means are similar.

I won't say that Me!Me!Me! is comparable to a real book or story, the characters do their little dance and then scamper off with no concrete explanation. But the fact that a studio can piece together a controversial and compelling short story in the span of six minutes is no small feat.
