The Hardcore Hentai

It’s quite amazing to look at the difference between some of the first attempts at hardcore hentai anime and the works by those well versed in the genre today. Older shows featured more story than sex, often, and the erotic scenes were usually quite straightforward. The missionary position was the order of the day and not much more was to be seen in an host of videos from that early era of hardcore. Hentai manga and video today is a completely different ball game. Some modern videos have ingeniously woven their story and sex scenes together to the point where they are, rightly, inseparable. Where one begins and the other ends becomes a question. Read more…

Much can be said about the levels to which hardcore hentai bondage has risen in recent years. Advances in technology have taken the ability to produce high quality hentai, doujin work from being solely the domain of the professional studios and into the hands of home users. This has led to doujin circles that are more than willing to push the envelope as to what is kosher to depict on screen or the printed page.

Hardcore hentai seems to have taken the internet by storm. It is estimated that there are more than ten million adult websites out there in the wired, and it would not likely be an outrageous guess to say that a good percentage of them are either devoted to or contain some measure of XXX hentai material.

No real efforts were made to bring over manga, which was likely all still in print form, and companies hadn’t even begun to translate adult anime videos. Read more…

Lesbian works aren’t as widespread as some might expect in the world of hardcore hentai. Before becoming a genre of its own, called “yuri”, the most one might see is a short lesbian scene in more mainstream hentai comics or videos. Early works in the genre were hardly groundbreaking, usually depicting a character that was, in every way, the typical hero, but as a female. This character would invariably rescue a damsel in distress type and the two would end up together. While this facet hasn’t necessarily disappeared from the genre, on the whole things have expanded quite a bit beyond those early attempts. Read more…

If there ever was an industry known for escalation in all things, it is the Japanese animation industry. This escalation not only applies to technical aspects like the quality of images, sound and music, which have improved greatly over the years, but also to creative elements like explosions, fight scenes, violence and even sex. If one show does it bigger, the next show seems to have to top it. In the world of hardcore hentai anime, this same pattern can be seen, and in some ways it can even be viewed as somewhat over the top by comparison to mainstream animation. Read more…
