I usually see it read as the diminutively-descriptive
ero, which serves well enough to be recognized in the Americas, Europe, as well the home production country of Japan.
Eroge is what I believe it is derived from, which is a compound shortening of "erotic game", but it eventually spread to be able to define anime series as well.
Oh, the real genre description to which I was trying to recall is called
ecchi, which is just a broad defining term for any manga / anime and perhaps live-action series that incorporates sexual humour, suggestive dialogue, and in most often the case, examples of sometimes hilariously-timed
fan service scenes. It is the TV-14 term of animated sexiness, I think. Anything above that, which could involve explicit nudity and/or sex scenes, I believe is then more commonly served to be known as
hentai. Close enough, I suppose (
lech <-> ecchi).
I doubt anyone cares about this, though. I, too easily, try to incorporate a little discussion where it is not warranted. Sorry about that.

I don't usually play favorites with anything, but, I do hold the habit of listing anything of which I find amusing, well-created, and superb. I'd recommend, for starters, two sides of basically the same genre:
Japanese:
Tetsujin 28(-go?)
American:
The Big Guy and Rusty (.., the Boy Robot)
(Yes, for reasons stemming from my own childhood, into the next generation, who doesn't love gigantic robo-mechas {that can sometimes be worn as a suit})?

About your second inquiry, justsoso, if I had the disposable income and time to search out what could be cool, (as well if I had a static "home", and didn't travel so much) I'd definitely like to collect some miniature figurines and/or models. They can be quite expensive, however, and considering that some collectibles are created solely as "Japan-only", then it can become a bit more constricted for a real hobbyist (both in terms of finding what you might like, and how much of a punch your wallet is to take in obtaining it).
For now, boxed DVD-sets are something that I'd like just as well (however, some of the older run and/or less popular and obscure, cult-based titles, think less 2 seasons run in NA, or ten episodes or less in Japan, then sometimes the production companies do not even bother in re-releasing the series on DVD.)
