Hentai: The Rant

Yes, you're reading correctly. I'm going to rant about hentai. I like hentai... This should be no secret, since I've snuck in a few references to iy in the past.

Am I part of the Avengers Initiative now?

What is hentai?
Pornography but anime style... Japanese cartoon porn.
This goes way back into the 90s, when I was an impressionable teen before the internet. Back then the sailor scouts transforming made my pants a bit tighter. Semi censored anime Fan service on Sci-fi channel made weekends a bit awkward.

Renting edgy 90s anime didn't help.

That Chun Li shower scene was a bit too uncomfortable with a parental unit walking past the living room.

Then I discovered hentai... a couple of friends somehow got hold of some anime vhs. Copies were made. I can't remember which I saw first: Variable Geo, La Blue Girl, or Injuu Seisen. I do recall that an underclassman had original copies of Doukyuusei: Natsu no Owari Ni. I remember these because the VHS tapes were RED!! And these were the ones that started it all. A combination of PK anime with a little bit too much fan service, extreme tentacle action, and vanilla harem.

Now I've seen waay too much hentai... futa, yaoi, yuri, etc. Been there, done that. Heck, drunk me has bought copious amounts of hentai online. I have the DVDs and BluRays to prove it. So here's my advice don't get drunk or you'll spend $200 on anime porn... 90s hentai can be very expensive. That's the only reason I don't own La Blue Girl yet.

You're probably wondering what's my point. I'm  getting to it.

Some moronic politician from Florida is equating Dragon ball Zetto to hentai.
This pisses me off to no end: How can you call screaming monkey men who like to punch the crap out of each other porn?  How dare you!?

Hentai is a wonderful genre... sure you get some that have a paper thin plot to pretend they're not a sex romp. Others, despite having a paper thin plot to pretend they're not a sex romp, have an INTERESTING PLOT!! They even make you CARE!! About the characters. Others (these are the rarest) are so good in the story that you could literally remove the sex scenes and have a kickass anime. Not to mention that plenty of standard anime genres can be used as the foundation for a hentai...
Let's say: Magical Girl... can be turned into a hentai.
Isekai: Easy hentai.
Horror: Creepy hentai
Slice of life: What do you think most vanilla hentai is based on?
Sentai: dude that's one English letter away from Hentai.

Real pornography does not give you such variety. Western Animation is still treated as a children's thing... while Japan can be ass backwards wiith their genital pixels, they are far ahead in making hentai a multi-genre thing. It also stimulates both the reptile and mamal brains...
