Don't~
I mean, besides the fact that it's just animated pornography, which I find
disgusting, it also doesn't help the stereotype that anime is meant for horny
old men...
But of course, this is the opinion of a young girl who won't even watch an anime
that's too ecchi.
No offense meant to anyone here.
Anime of all genres hope to invoke some kind of emotion or reaction in their
viewer. Action anime exists to give the viewer a thrill. Romance exists to
create that euphoria associated with true love. Hentai exists for viewer
arrousal. All of these are natural human emotions and reactions. To say that any
one of these is superior to another is ludicrous.
Besides the after school special answer above, hentai also allows for darker
parts of each person to be freeer. There are more things that can be done in
hentai that can't be done in any live-action media, as well as the ability to
see virtually any character a person has "fallen for" in a sexual
situation. Ultimately, while you may love Angelina Jolie in live action, there
are certain things you will never see her do. But if you obsess over Belldandy,
then there is going to be plenty out there to "explore". Whether one
uses this to "grow closer to a character" or simply to see something
naked... thats up to the individual.
Whew... quantifying that type of thing into words that don't make you sound
simply like a pervert is pretty difficult.

That's a very interesting way to put it. I can't help but agree with that, since
I have similar views. I have an interest in japanese visual novels and dating
sims because of the way they can connect with the players emotions, so its also
a yes from me.

actually, old men dont watch hentai. I believe everyone who watches anime is
thirty or bellow. Most of them r teens...
Anyway if thats what u think... I guess ur a conservative, nothing more to
say.
i guess hentai is pretty good, it unites anime and porn so, it has to be good.
haha

I know, I was just stating an old-fashioned stereotype I've heard many
times.
Yes, I personally don't like hentai, I don't expect people to agree with
me.
Maybe I should explain a bit more. The stereotype of anime being a lot of hentai
is bad for me. For example, my mom knows I'm a big anime fan, but she doesn't
know much about it, and always assumes I watch all this 18+ stuff. That's not
something I want her to think me, you know? Especially since I'm one of the ones
who doesn't like it 0_0
Anyways I figured most people in this thread would say hentai was okay, and I'm
not going to argue it, I just thought I'd add a comment from someone on the
other side :P
Hey I know that stigma too. I used to have up anime wallpapers at my last job,
and everytime someone looked at it they would say "I bet she's like 12
years old." Everybody there assumed that anime was all pornography. Sure
it's annoying, but that's just them. If everybody thinks all I do is watch is
anime porn, then so be it. I'm not trying to impress someone and it's not going
to keep me up at night if they think it.
I know that I'm much more versitile than only watching animated porn. I know
that I can spend a day watching a tear jerker romance or a psychological
thriller but then later watch something adults only.
I see what you mean, I guess I wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't my mom 0_0
I've always been a "good girl" and have given her no reason to think
I'd watch hentai. It's just a bit bothersome but I can get over it.
You know, it's not exactly difficult to have a good image even with it. I'm 24
years old and my parents have pretty much no clue what the hell I'm into.
Besides the point, are you saying that someone who views hentai still can't be a
"good" whatever their sex is?
Who is to say that Joe nice guy who is a perfect gentleman, doesn't go home and
enjoy a little tentacle nastiness? It's just you have to know where to draw the
line between fantasy and reality. While seeing a girl being treated like a toy
in a fantasy world might be ok, it certainly shouldn't translate to the way one
treats women in real life.
I'm not saying that someone who watches hentai can't be a "good
girl/guy", but I'm talking specifically about my mom and my family, and I
know for sure they would never approve of such a thing. And don't get me started
on my dad And being an 18 year old who lives at home and has to see her
parents everyday...I'd rather them not have those negative thoughts towards me,
especially when I'm not even doing what they're accusing me of.
Anyways This thread isn't about the problems we have making our families
understand our interest in anime, ne?
How often do threads actually stay 100% on topic? Besides, it isn't as if it is
jumping with responses anyway. If anything, the thread creator is probably happy
to keep it active. If he ain't, then well he won't have us two to keep him
bumped next time now will he?
i think ur parents r beeing unrational... If they r thinking thoses things and
accusing u of that, its disgusting. every doctor says that its a good thing to
do, and god, ur 18! if u was 13 or something like that... they should be
supporting u!
and u dont like hentai at all, so its even more stupid.
I dont have that problem since my mom dont knows whats hentai at all. (i guess)
I dont have to hide it, its so easy to find in my pc
"animes/hentais"... anyway even if she knows, idc.
surely now i say ur parents r conservatives not u...so, sorry ;p
Another yes from me.
I really don't see why people have such a bad opinion about pornography.
Most of times it brings a person's fantasies/fetishes to life.
Honestly now, there's no human that never had an erotic fantasy and since anime
characters are perfect from all points of view, they always fuel the dirty
thoughts.
So, if they're ok humping in your rich imagination, everything's gonna be
alright if they will on your screen too
It's a no from me. I think of Hentai like I think of Yaoi/Yuri, what's the
point. Then again I don't like porn either so yeah If you
like it then go ahead, your life not mine.
Kinda off topic what I mean about me not liking Yaoi or Yuri is when people just
pair 2 characters up together. If you get relationships in like Gravitation or
Sailor Moon, that's fair enough, the story is written like that but when you get
stuff like say Naruto and Sasuke. Again if you like it, your life not mine :P
I fell in love with hentai the first time that I saw it, just to note it's
called adult in japan not really hentai, hentai means pervert ^_^ yes I carry
that title quite well I'm one of few hentai females in my area hehe ^_^
well,for me i will say yes.^^i will think it is just normal at all. and i feel
pretty on the design of the characters.i like pretty things,i always think that
anime and manga designs are pretty.^^
it`s reasonable just because it still exists, right? IMO most of normal males
will need these things in a way, as it is just the instict of male human. after
all it`s far more harmless to stay in one`s own room to watch these things than
to attack women on streets
Well, I really don't like hentai...
But I like hentai with good and amazing story/plot.
I don't like a hentai with just hentai scenes in it!
Story and Plot is important in an anime/hentai/manga/etc.!
So my vote goes to NO!

True. I don't like it, I don't like porn either. Ecchi is funny in comedies and
its okay, but going to that extremes is something I personally dislike,
specially if you boyfriend watches it, I mean yeah, it's his life and it doesn't
mean that he loves me less or doing me harm in some way, but I feel sad every
time I notice he had watched that crap... I dunno why, but uncounciously it
makes me feel somewhat like 'Am I not enough for him?' I know he does it because
it's some kind of 'normal' thing, and because he needs it or whatever, but I
feel bad anyway.
Basically
i want to see how many people like hentai
and how many people don't.
also i won't to hear people's
thoughts and views on the subject.
btw
its a yes from me.

Nice way of putting it, shoujoboy.
Basically, I like viewing hentai from time to time, for the most perverse of purposes.
But hey, as long as I don't put anyone to harm... it's all fine.
I know, I was just stating an old-fashioned stereotype I've heard many times.

Its a BIG YES from me^^love it^^and im not a pig^^basically i buy or watch it because of the great artworks^^love them soo much!
Another yes from me.

Well some of it, I don't like it when there's no plot or story and its all just about sex scenes
I do like hentai,but there a limit to how much,you want to see it.
But your'e right,without a good storyline, there's nothing good to it.
True. I don't like it, I don't like porn either.
