THE ANIME HENTAI PRIMER
A companion to The Anime Primer

This is a companion posting to THE ANIME PRIMER, OR WHAT ANIME SHOULD
I WATCH NOW? dealing with *****c and ****ographic anime (often called
"ecchi anime" and "hentai anime" respectively). These have been
separated into their own posting so that the parent posting may safely
be given to people under the age of majority.

Subject: 3. Reviews
ADVENTURE KID (in UK, ADVENTURE DUO): Somewhat hentai story of a
group of children caught up in a battle in time and space against a
monster and the usual demons. You want to know why I say hentai?
Well, when the key to the alternate dimension sits squarely between
the legs of an often ****d and not unattractive female demon ...
AI NO KUSABI: A 2 OAV series derived from a novel. The story is
set in a future dystopia and concerns the destructive relation****p
between Iason, head of the elite Blondies, and the mongrel, Riki, he
picks up off the streets. Iason is a classic cool, emotionless seme.
Riki is the classic bad attitude street boy uke. The story deals with
honor, obsession, and well deserved fate. The designs are lushly
romantic and fairly very dark, but there isn't that much ***, but what
there is, is hardcore. [Available fansubbed.]
ANGEL OF DARKNESS I-IV: A series of OVA movies that deal with a
plant monster that needs female ejaculate to survive. The plant is
usually hidden somewhere on a school campus and victims are brought to
it (which it then enslaves). There is actually a continuity through
the films as plot points from each film figure in the next. As to be
expected, there is a lot of of tentacle rape. [Soft Cel]
BIZARRE CAGE: A 3 episode OVA about a group of workers at a
fantasy theme park, who not only have to deal with a rapist seeking
victims among the female workers but their computer malfunctioning and
trapping them and customers inside the park. [NuTech]
BLACK MAIL: Nice looking, bud decidedly un-nice tale featuring the
systematic breaking and humiliation of half a dozen high school
students and two somewhat older female relatives, by a gang of
rapists. The plot is fairly hard to follow - none of the motivations
involved become at all clear until the third and final volume, and
even then you're left wondering. As the whole thing is basically 90
minutes of non-stop non-consensual ***, this is firmly in the
"disturbing" category. Also, the explicitness of the animation varies
wildly from scene to scene. [NuTech]
BOKU NO ***UAL HARASSMENT (a.k.a. MY ***UAL HARASSMENT): A 3 OAV
series about Mochizuki, a young salary man willing to do anything for
the sake of the company, and his experiences with his colleagues,
management, and clients. This is an interesting morality play about
***, business, self esteem, and true love. It is one of the few
hardcore yaoi titles around. [Kitty]
CAN CAN BUNNY: A light, softcore comedy in which the cute and ***y
goddess Suwati appears to a young man named Kenta and grants him a
wish. Much to her chagrin, it's to be able to make it with any
beautiful young woman he meets. We follow their adventures as Kenta
gets his wish granted and Suwati watches over him (with the help of
her cousin Shuree), tries to keep him out of trouble and wonders when
he'll realize just why she gave him the wish in the first place.
[Available from Soft Cel Pictures.]
COOL DEVICES: A hardcore anthology series which explores the
darker sides of human ***uality, with stories ranging in tone from
cute yet edgy to downright disturbing. Directors include Mon Mon
(well-known for the cheesecake artbook Illustrations Candy), Hiroyuki
Utatane (COUNT DOWN) and Yasuomi Umetsu ((A) KITE). [Licenced by
Critical Mass.]
COUNT DOWN: Based on Hiroyuki Utatane's assorted-stories manga,
this series sweeps back and forth between comical and bizarre.
Features character design that is faithful to Utatane's work, and
stories that make you wonder (unless you've read the manga, that is).
[Available from Soft Cel Pictures.]
CREAM LEMON: An anthology OVA series from the 80's which is
acknowledged as the first hentai anime to emphasize the stories, which
range from drama (the Ami Nonomura episodes, which were acclaimed for
the lead character's strong personality) to suspense/horror ("Black
Cat Mansion") to comedy ("Pop Chaser"). The popular general-audience
series PROJECT A-KO was originally intended for this, but that was
changed during planning, and the rest is history. CL is also infamous
for its catering largely to Rorikon (Lolita complex) fans, and spun
off into the LEMON ANGELS series. A couple of episodes of CL are
available rewritten (not translated) and dubbed into English by
assorted American '80s **** stars as "Brothers Grime Cartoons #2".
CUSTOM SLAVE: Another "kidnap the cute girl, then boink her 'til
she likes it" title, this time set in a prestigious girl's school -
which is in fact a front for an organization that provides *** slaves
to the rich and powerful. Has a very distinct "first episode" feel,
even though there only exists one part. Also a "disturbing" title,
but very well done.
DEPRAVITY: Tough as nails, and with an equally toned body, Kiriko
is a "take no prisoners" kind of teacher. Trained in the martial
arts, when threated after school, she easily puts her attackers down
for the count. But later, when more assailants get the better of her,
Kiriko finds herself bound and gagged, with an challenge put forth -
survive 10 minutes of fondling without being aroused, and she's free
to go! It turns out to be a very long ten minutes. DEPRAVITY is a two
episode OAV with heavy bondage, and mental domination. Available in
R1 from NuTech Digital.
DESERT ISLAND STORY X: A four episode tale of a half a dozen girls
who get ****pjacked and then stranded on an island with two bank
robbers. This reviewer has only seen the fourth part, which in which
the girls in fits of jealousy and for revenge manage to trick each
other into getting raped (again?) by the resident criminals. Much
backbiting and turning of tables. Due to the non-consensual nature of
the scenes I saw, yet another "disturbing" title. [NuTech]
DESERT ISLAND STORY XX: Not a sequel, but uses a similar setup -
half a dozen women and a little girl, and three men, stuck in a remote
research station where weird experiments have been performed. But on
who? And for what purpose? Add in that several of the characters are
convinced that they're not getting off the island alive, and are
therefore free to indulge, and this too ends up in the "disturbing"
category. But the intense plot and mood make up for it, and someday
soon I'll have to get the fourth part, just to see how it ends.
[NuTech]
DEVILMAN: A Go Nagai series which shows the amalgamation of a
seemingly innocent boy with a powerful demon; his purpose, to
eliminate other demons from the world. Occasionally violent, and it
wouldn't be a Go Nagai without some *** ... (Manga)
DOUKYUUSEI: NATSU NO OWARI NI: see END OF SUMMER
DRAGON KNIGHT: Takeru is a medieval sword fighter and incurable
lecher who travels the land in search of adventure and a good roll in
the hay. The first OVA is an ecchi comedy, while the second, "Another
Knight on the Town", is more serious and more obviously hentai (if
still softcore). Based on a series of computer games. At least two
more OVAs based on later editions of the game have been released in
Japan, but those have not been licensed for North America. [Available
from Soft Cel Pictures.]
DRAGON PINK: The hardcore fantasy RPG-ish adventures of "hero"
Santa, man-mountain Bobo, elven mage Pierce and much put-upon catgirl
slave Pink. Three OVAs were made, with the first being pretty cute,
the second one shocking and disturbing by comparison and the third
quite painful (Pierce and Bobo's scene notwithstanding). [Available
from Critical Mass.]
E'L: In the aftermath of a nuclear war, civilization has one last
hope in the form of the domed city known as the Megaro Earth Project.
Problem is there is somebody called Mr. Gimmick, who leads a terrorist
organization called the Black Widow who is trying to end the project.
The counter terrorist organization E'l is a part of has a method of
dealing with supposed females of the Black Widow: rape them until they
confess or they are mindless. The few logic glitches are explained in
the last 5 minutes, but one feels as if this was a part of a larger
series than never went anywhere. [NuTech]
THE ELVEN BRIDE: Loving newlyweds Kenji (a human man) and Milfa
Links (a buxom young elf woman) discover that a physical
incompatibility is making consummating their marriage impossible, and
these two OVAs follow their efforts to find a solution to their
problem. Fantasy, comedy, romance and even a bit of social commentary
all come together in this softcore story. [Available from Soft Cel
Pictures.]
END OF SUMMER (original title DOUKYUUSEI: NATSU NO OWARI NI):
Golden-hearted horndog Wataru's big dream is to "make a wonderful
memory" with school idol Mai before summer is over. However,
circumstances on her side (shyness, a strict family and a rich snob
named Kenji also vying for her affections) and his (several female
classmates seeking his advice and sometimes-intensive help) make
things difficult for them. A very nice romantic drama with great
character development and steamy softcore scenes, based on the popular
dating-simulation computer game. [Previously available from Soft Cel
Pictures.]
F^3; [FRANTIC, FRUSTRATED AND FEMALE] (original title NAGEKI NO
KENKO YURYOJI): Hiroe is a beautiful, healthy young woman with a
decent boyfriend and a loving home life. The only problem she has is
a big one - she's unable to have an orgasm with her boyfriend. When
it's found that she can't help herself, her sister and mother (sorry,
neighbour and landlady) and "known lesbian" friend pitch in to try to
help, in a series of events ranging from funny to twisted. [Licenced
by Critical Mass.]
FUJIMI ORCHESTRA: Fujimi (town) has a small adult orchestra. The
first violinist is very good, but has no self confidence. The new
conductor becomes enamored of him, is convinced he can do better, and
eventually forces a relation****p on him. The novels of this title do
a good job of following their long term careers. The anime gives an
introduction to the characters up through the initial forced
seduction. This title has no science fiction, no magic, no comedy,
just good solid drama about everyday people in their everyday lives.
It also features what appears to be the single longest *** scene of
all hardcore yaoi anime. [Available raw.]
GENMUKAN: Detective Satoru Kidou recieves a letter from a rich
family, requesting his services for a missing-item case. His
reluctance to take the case overcome by a need to pay the ever-growing
bills, Satoru and his perpetually-horny secretary arrive on the
family's private island, to expose the secrets (and bodies) of
mistress Ayano and her lovely household staff.
GENMUKAN is a two episode hardcore title, with light bondage,
arousal-inducing drugs, lesbian elements, and surprsingly clean
character designs and animation. [Available in all regions from
NuTech]
GIBO MAI: see STEP SISTER
GOKU, MIDNIGHT EYE: see MIDNIGHT EYE GOKU
HANAPPE BAZOOKA: An odd title by Go Nagai (DEVILMAN, NEW CUTEY
HONEY) about a young, hapless, heavily picked-on guy named Hanappe who
really wants no more than to go out with one of his beautiful
classmates. He inadvertently summons a couple of demons, who grant
him his wish to be strong and overtake his life, house and family in
return. While the small bits of *** in this are quite obvious, it's
difficult to consider this a hentai title. Weird slapstick humour and
poignant moments run alongside each other, and somehow still work.
[Available from ADV Films.]
THE HEX FILES: see MAGICAL TWILIGHT
IMMORAL SISTERS: Yet another blackmail story, about a twisted old
man who gets his jollies deflowering young girls, and his son, who
thinks he has to prove his worth to the boss' secretary by being an
even bigger pervert. Involves a hilarious revenge scheme in the last
part - after the female characters decide to abandon their dignity and
hit the guys where it hurts ... Very, very explicit, well drawn and
animated. [NuTech]
INMA SIEDEN: A six episode series involving rape-murders (the
victims expire from exhaustion) at a school by people who command
monster "Kings" whose rapes reveal the girls as "sheaths". While
there is actually a story here, it is muddled by the fact that the
reason behind the rape-murders is hidden from the viewer, it is hard
to tell whose side most of the main characters are on, and what
relation****p they have to each other. One wonders whether there was
some sort of back story that didn't make it to the series. [Available
from Nutech]
KAZE TO KI NO UTA: see SONG OF THE WIND AND THE TREES
KOIHIME: A sweet story of four girls in love with a boy their
guardians will never let them have, but who they go to great lengths
to get anyway. This one is very nice in all respects - from art, to
animation, to story, to character definition, to ***ual content. Add
in the twist that it's the girls doing all the chasing, and it's a
title that stands out. [NuTech]
LA BLUE GIRL: UROTSUKIDOJI creator To****o Maeda spices up the
Overfiend formula with the cute and ***y Miko Mido, a half-demon girl
who must now battle evil ****kima using a school of martial (marital?)
arts known as ***craft after the signet case which symbolizes the Mido
family's authority over the ****kima is stolen. The humour quotient is
also increased, but the tentacles are still the main draw here.
[Edited from Anime18, uncut from NuTech]
LEGEND OF THE OVERFIEND: see UROTSUKIDOJI
LOVE LESSON: A guy with money trouble gets recruited by the Yakuza
to train perfect partners for high-profile clients with "exotic"
tastes, which turn out to be not that bad after all - one of them even
wants a dominatrix ... Haven't seen all of this yet, but so far it's
fairly gentle, with only a mild bit of blackmail. Consensus seems to
be that this is a "nice" title. Fairly explicit in parts.
LUNATIC NIGHT: In this action/fantasy/comedy, Kamizaki's creepy
friend Mutsuki returns from a trip with a souvenir for him - a cute
(and very naughty) dog-girl. As things unfold further in the
convoluted plot, it turns out that Kamizaki is the amnesic ruler of
Atlantis, and is needed to help restore it to its former ruling glory,
despite Mutsuki's own efforts. Even the hardcore scenes are cute, and
the parodies of SAILOR MOON and tentacle scenes will raise a smile.
[The first two episodes are available from Anime18.]
MAGICAL TWILIGHT (repackaged as THE HEX FILES by Soft Cel): Two
young witches in training come down to Earth from the white magic
world for their practical exam, in which they have to make a good
impression on a young man named Tsukasa. The sincere, innocent
Chipple tries to do so through his heart, the brash, pushy Irene tries
a little lower, and the tension between the three of them runs high.
A fine softcore romantic comedy. Available from Critical Mass.
MAHOU SHOUJO AI-CHAN: see ***Y MAGICAL GIRL
MAISON PLAISIR: Thrown out of his home for practicing his
new-found skills at domination on his stepmother Rin, Seichii moves
into a Japanese inn. Miyuki, the recently widowed manager, takes an
instant liking to him, and when he discovers her secret bondage
playroom, Seichii vows to complete her bondage training, eventually
drawing in Rin, his stepsister Kiriko, and even the "girl next door",
Nagi. MAISON PLAISIR is a two-episode hardcore title featuring
waters****ts, bondage, lesbianism, and very attractive character
designs. Available in R1 from Anime18.
MEIKING: As the commonly spread summary says: "Blame it on the
sheep". The main character is a shepherd turned lord, who in order to
keep his title, and his shot at the princess, must turn his fief into
the most profitable in the kingdom. Four eps (of which I've seen only
the first and last), with a blend of hilarity and some seriousness,
and of course a fair bit of explicit ***. Sources claim that there is
Hot. ****d. Elf. ***. Almost as nice as KOIHIME.
MIDNIGHT EYE GOKU: Futuristic detective fantasy. Private
investigator Goku has a computerized eye that can interface with any
electric device at will, as well as an expandable baton that enables
him to skewer adversaries and vault across skyscrapers. Stylish
animation with soft-core *** and bondage motifs.
MRS. JUNKIES: Housewife Kyouka finds herself alone at home with
nothing but the vacuum cleaner and her own perverse fantasies for
company. When she comes across her equally-frustrated housewife
neighbor getting some "special assistance" from the help, she resorts
to a little self-pleasure, before bringing the lucky boy-toy home for
some fun of her own! MRS. JUNKIES is a hardcore title with lovely
(and lonely) ladies who might be best be described as soft and round.
Fans who like their characters older and a little rubenesque will find
much to like here. Available in R2 from Milky.
MY ***UAL HARASSMENT: see BOKU NO ***UAL HARASSMENT
NAGEKI NO KENKO YURYOJI: see F^3
ANGEL/NEW [****N] ANGEL: ****zuka returns to Tokyo to find Kosuke,
the boy who had befriended her during a difficult time 12 years
earlier (when they were both five years old), who she only got to know
for a week before her family had to move. She finds that Kosuke is
now a terrible lecher, but still holds out hope that he can solidify
the flashes of decency that he shows (when he isn't getting it on with
other girls in a variety of bizarre and comical situations) and commit
himself to her. Episodes 2-4 of NEW ANGEL are possibly the most
explicit non-violent hentai ever released here. Based on the
controversial manga by U-Jin. [NEW ANGEL is available from Soft Cel
Pictures.]
OGENKI CLINIC: A farce set in the titular clinic, where a wide
assortment of people go to have Dr. Oguri and Nurse Tatase straighten
out their ***ual problems (when they aren't taking care of their own
misadventures, that is). S&M, impotence, *** toys, lesbianism,
infidelity, feti****sm, transvestitism/trans***uality, grossly
exaggerated body parts ... it's all here, and it's all laughed at.
[Available from Kitty Media and Anime18.]
ORCHID EMBLEM: see REI-LAN: ORCHID EMBLEM
ORGY TRAINING: Title is irrelevant to the story, which is about a
rich kid whose father is in the habit of buying young women by paying
off their parents' debts to the Yakuza, and having them pose as maids,
serving his *every* need. When the latest acquisition turns out to be
a girl the son has already fallen in love with, he sets out to rescue
the girl. All the characters in this title are in need of psychiatric
treatment - the males before the show starts, and the females too by
the end of it. Too explicit in parts - especially the deflowering of
the new girl, which is shown more than once ... All in all a very
disturbing title.
OVERFIEND: see UROTSUKIDOJI
PRIVATE PSYCHO LESSON: Dr. Sara Iijima is a well-endowed
psychotherapist who diagnoses and cures young people's problems using
Psychofeed, a method combining deep subconscious analysis (employing
an interesting hypnosis method) with Eastern ***uality. While
containing some touches of U-Jin's distinctive humour, this is a dark
psychological (but of course) drama, including a couple of tentaclish
scenes. Not very explicit, but a hardcore story. [Available from
Anime18.]
PURE MAIL: Teenage mistakes, deception and private chat rooms.
Much more would spoil the plot, which was good. One of very few anime
titles of any category that has left me with the feeling that "this
could happen" - and with the exception of one scene, in the "Nice"
category.
REI-LAN: ORCHID EMBLEM: Rei-Lan is an up-and-coming Super Grappler
Wrestling star and an ex-DEA agent. A flashback shows her going on
assignment with her boyfriend to capture the prominent underworld boss
Tojo and ending up becoming enslaved by him. Very dark and violent
psychodrama. [Available from Kitty Media.]
REI REI: Softcore title based on the manga by To****mitsu ****mizu
(801 TTS AIRBATS). Kaguya is the Missionary of Love, a goddess who
strives to keep the moon close to the Earth by helping out
romantically troubled young people. While it's funny in parts, the
overall tone is fairly dark, including a murder plot and subconscious
psychological problems. Despite all that, it keeps a sense of warmth.
[Licenced by Critical Mass.]
SENSITIVE ****OGRAPH: This title contains two short, unconnected
stories. Part one is the development of the relation****p between male
mangaka Seiji and Souno. Part two is about a pet-sitter named Ueno
whose latest job, whom he told was a rabbit, turns out to be a bound
and gagged young man.
Both stories are extremely explicit, even showing genitals (a lot
of hentai doesn't); and are quite sweet, with happy endings for both.
Available in the US through Kitty Media.
***Y MAGICAL GIRL (a.k.a. MAHOU SHOUJO AI-CHAN): An
otherwise-unremarkable highschool student, Akito**** is caught up in an
epic struggle between the tentacally-endowed demonic forces of evil
and the skimpily-clad champion of good, Ai Kagano, a very ***y magical
girl. Witness to Ai's battles, Akato**** quickly finds himself
ensnared in a web of deception, murder, and demonic possession.
***Y MAGICAL GIRL is a hardcore five-episode title featuring
bondage, domination, mind control, pseudo-lesbianism (Girl on Girl
with MultipleTentacles), and what can only be described as
body-distorting levels of extreme penetration. When it's hot, the
action is scorchingly hot, but it can and does cross the line at
times. Highly recommended for fans of tentacles, but not for the
faint of heart. [Available in R1 from JapanAnime]
SHUSAKU REPLAY: Same genre as BLACK MAIL, only here it is a
boarding school full of female students and teachers, and a perverted
caretaker who's rigged the whole place with video cameras. Non-nice
in all respects except animation quality and ***ual content, if you
like rape scenes. A remake of a series named SHUSAKU, which showed
much less actual ***.
SLIGHT FEVER SYNDROME: A light softcore comedy, in which a young
woman starting her new job as a nurse and counselor at a high school
finds that the students (and some of the staff) seek her help for the
sort of problems that she never anticipated having to handle -
especially within herself. [Available from Kitty Media.]
SONG OF THE WIND AND THE TREES (a.k.a. KAZE TO KI NO UTA): At a
19th-century French boy's school, newcomer Serge finds himself rooming
with Gilbert, a boy who uses his body to get grades and other favors.
At first repulsed by his roommate's behavior, Serge finds himself
pitying the clearly troubled young man, and this leads to a doomed
relation****p between the two.
This is an older series, with unusual but (in this reviewer's
opinion) quite beautiful animation and backgrounds. The *** is
infrequent and pretty non-explicit, but the story is the real draw
here. Available fansubbed.
STEP SISTER (a.k.a. GIBO MAI): Kyosuke Wakao is the sole heir to
his father's estate, including his famous paintings. Bitter at his
father's second marriage, Kyosuke tells his step-mother, Megumi, to
get out. Megumi, faced with the prospect of losing her home, counters
by mentioning the inheritance tax that Kyosuke can't afford to pay,
and makes him an offer he can't refuse: "Give me the paintings and let
us live here, I'll deal with the taxes, and you can *have my
daughter*." With his loving step-sister Yuna as a new toy, Kyosuke
settles into a routine of bondage, while Megumi plots, and Yuna begs
for punishment.
STEP SISTER is a two-episode hardcore title, with elements of
bondage and domination, mind control, a few bits of water s****ts, and
themes of pseudo-*****. If none of these offend you, this is a title
with much to recommend including excellent animation, clean character
designs, a taste for the kinky, and an ED theme by Kotoko! [Available
in R1 from Anime18]
STEPMOTHER'S SIN: I only saw the second part of this. Insane son
seduces father's new fiancee, then blackmails her into keeping quiet
while boinking her silly and abusing her daughter. When he finally
gets it into his head that maybe he did something wrong, it's too
late. Sick and twisted in the extreme, both in content and in
presentation. If there is anything at all to recommend this title by,
it's the art quality and animation.
STRANGE LOVE/HEN: Chizuru Yo****da is the attractive and busty idol
of her school, with a major attitude problem. In the two softcore
OVAs released here, she turns the tables on a teacher who becomes
obsessed with her after she appears in an ad campaign for shampoo, and
has her world turned upside down when a new transfer student breaks
through her cynical feelings about love. Funny, in both senses of the
word. [Available from Anime18.]
SUPERNATURAL BEAST CITY: Definitely for adults. Demon terrorists
resist treaty to separate demons & mankind. Stylishly drawn.
Available (as WICKED CITY) from Urban Vision.
TABOO CHARMING MOTHER: ***ually ignored by her husband, Misako
begins her descent into debauchery when she recieves an obscene phone
call from a stranger who sends her *** toys by mail. Coerced into
even more perverse acts, Misako explores the depraved side of her
personality, with her step-son, Yuuske. TABOO CHARMING MOTHER is a
six-episode hardcore title featuring occasional waters****ts, anal, and
a good deal of exhibitionism. Viewers looking for titles that explore
the *mental* side of bondage will be pleased. Available in R1 from
JapanAnime.
TALES OF TITILLATION/MISBEHAVIOUR/SINTILLATION: The domestic
release of Konai Shasei (Sketches in the School), the anime based on
the U-Jin manga. Whimsical, comical softcore short stories, with
U-Jin's distinctive edge and cute female character design. [Available
from Kitty Media.]
TEACHER'S PET: About an utterly devoted student and her kinky
teacher boyfriend. Starts out mild in all respects, but the fetishes
grow a bit weirder in each episode, as the animation grows more
explicit. Despite this, the title remains all consensual - mostly due
to the female lead's "it's okay because I love you" attitude, which
sounded a bit weird after a while. I have a hard time calling it
*nice*, but it's not insidiously evil like ORGY TRAINING or
STEPMOTHER'S SIN.
TOKIO PRIVATE POLICE: A very thinly veiled H take on PATLABOR. A
tomboyish young policewoman gets transferred to a new police combat
unit in a rough part of Tokyo. Much goes on behind closed doors.
Part police drama, part mecha, part romantic comedy, all explicitly
anatomically correct. The first *** scene is a rape, unfortunately,
but, after that, all of it is consensual and scorching. [Available
from Kitty Media.]
TSUMA X TSUMA (a.k.a. WIFE WITH WIFE): Vol 1. Having recently
lost his father, Kotarou has inherited his father's supermarket, and
the attentions of his wife, and step daughter. Younger and
inexperienced, Kotarou has to learn the "in's and out's" of customer
"service", both on and off the sales floor. Vol 2. Recently married,
Yosuke and Akira are the picture of marital bliss, until the subject
of conjugal bliss enters the picture. Poor Yosuke is completely
unable to perform! While at work he accidentally walks in on famous
actress Atsuko in the ****, and ends up getting more than just on the
job training. TSUMA X TSUMA is a two-episode hardcore title, with
light elements of domination, big breasts, and a healthy dose of
comedy. Viewers looking for a lighter title will find much to enjoy
here. Available in R1 from JapanAnime.
UROTSUKIDOJI (a.k.a. LEGEND OF THE OVERFIEND, literally WANDERING
KID): In the future, there are three dimensions of beings in the
world: Humans, Man-Beasts and Demons. Man-beast Amano Jyaku is
obsessed with finding the fabled Overfiend, an omnipotent demon who
manifests every 3,000 years as a giant tentacled humanoid and leaves a
wide trail of rape and carnage in his wake. This is a very
controversial and dark hardcore series with an epic plot, which is
considered to be the first "*****c horror" anime to feature tentacles
as penetralia, and has spawned many imitations. [Available from
Anime18.]
VISIONARY: A collection of cute yet naughty stories based on the
U-Jin anthology manga, including parodies of DORAEMON and vampire
stories. [Available from Anime18.]
WEATHER RE****T GIRL: When ATV's regular weather re****t girl
Michiko Kawai has to take a day off to attend a friend's wedding,
unspectacular-looking Keiko ****adai is drafted to do the evening
forecast. Keiko, however, turns out to be a stunning, daring, evil,
conniving bombshell who has been waiting for this op****tunity, and she
creates a furor (and increases the show's ratings) when she lifts her
skirt and flashes her panties on the air. When Michiko returns to
find that Keiko has been given her spot permanently and she has been
reassigned to the 6 AM weather re****t, the battle begins. A wicked
parody of the cutthroat broadcast industry with not that much actual
***, but so much of everything else that that isn't much of an issue.
[Available from Critical Mass.]
WICKED CITY: see SUPERNATURAL BEAST CITY
WIFE WITH WIFE: see TSUMA X TSUMA
WORDS WORTH: A proper fantasy anime plot as good as many
mainstream titles - Light kingdom and dark kingdom (below ground) are
at war, people living down below don't even know about the sky, etc.
Story focuses on a prince who has dreams of a blue sky he's never
seen. Unlike most films, war is depicted as it happens in real life
to the extent that captors gleefully rape their prisoners etc. So
plenty of ***, both consensual and non-consensual, including
bestiality thanks to the mutant creatures such as horse-men, and some
violence. [NuTech]

information is both needed (there's no shortage of stuff to avoid) and
hard to come by (since many sources won't cover the domain). Thus the
*****C ANIME MOVIE GUIDE, by Helen McCarthy & Johnathan Clements
(ISBN:1-185286-946-1) seemed like a promising possibility. Even
though, being sold at a comic specialty store, it was expensive and
shrink-wrapped.
Which is a shame, because the contents are not quite what you might
expect. Especially given that it shares the style, and one of the
authors, from the more useful ANIME MOVIE GUIDE. The first thing is
that about 2/3 of this slim volume (190 pages) is actually filled with
'film studies' essays on various elements of *****c anime. While some
of these are interesting to serious students of anime history,
although there are some doubtful arguments, they're not actually much
use for understanding *****c anime. The subjects are old news and
well known by most anime fans (U-jin, Go Nagai, OVERFIEND etc.).
Even more disappointing is the list of 200 reviews provided. A lot
of these have only a marginal *****c content, or are provided to back
up arguments made in the essays. Thus titles such as DIRTY PAIR,
GUNBUSTER, DOREAMON and OH MY GODDESS have reviews, despite requiring
a lot of imagination to see these as '*****c anime'. And there are
many more titles that simply don't belong in this book. The remaining
reviews tend to be well known, commercially released, titles that are
largely synopsis rather than commentary.
While this is an interesting book, especially to someone interested
in the history and development of *****c anime, it is largely useless
as a guide to the genre. Those planning a purchase should definitely
find a copy to look through first.
