Japanese Erotic Anime

. Everyone can enjoy it as a hot-blooded sport aiming for the same goal of winning, as well as a sexy scene such as a panchira and a shower scene every time. The gap between the solid armor and uniform during the jost is also erotic.

The male and female pilots fight in a slightly naughty composition, with the girl crawling and the boy standing behind and steering. In addition, the connection between the hearts of the pair of men and women greatly affects the operability of Franks. Although it is not a work that is so close to eroticism, the flight of girls to Franks is a work that makes you feel a little sex appeal.

In that regard it is not unique, though its execution certainly deserves special praise. The truth is that animated films that push social conventions, and that specifically do so through eroticism have existed for decades. Below is a short list looking at some of those projects from around the world.

What is Anime? There is a general awareness today that the market for anime is growing in the U.S. However, there is less awareness--or agreement--as to exactly what "anime" is. "Anime" or "animé" is the Japanese word for cinematic animation, taken from the English word "animation." To the anime enthusiasts in America, "anime" means any animation produced in Japan, no matter the intended audience--whether a TV cartoon series for young children (Samurai Pizza Cats and Sailor Moon are two recent examples, and there was a Japanese TV animated serialization of Heidi, Girl of the Alps in 1974, eight years before Hanna-Barbera's Heidi's Song feature), an animated adult cultural feature (there have been two feature-length animated productions of The Diary of Anne Frank), or an action-adventure thriller filled with violence and sexual situations. However, since the main American market for anime consists of teens and adults looking for light entertainment, that is just about all that gets licensed for American release. Most juvenile cartoons and the adult intellectual animation tends to remain on their studios' shelves in Tokyo. As a result, a perception has been growing in America that "anime" is synonymous with violent, sexual animation only. A February 1, 1998 New York Times story on contemporary Japanese animation comments on its wide range, but emphasizes that "animé refers strictly to `adult' Japanese animation ... racy, battle-ravaged animé ... `pornimation,' as some of the steamier romps with Western-looking women, from college girls to the princesses of sci-fi legend, are sometimes called in the United States ... animé is all violence and sex ..." The article also refers to one of Japan's most popular children's TV cartoon stars, the robot cat Doraemon, as "scantily clad;" an innuendo equivalent to identifying Donald Duck or Porky Pig only as cartoon characters who go about in public without any pants on. This has reached the point that major American animation presenters with Japanese titles in their lineups are trying to disassociate themselves from the "anime" label. Michael Johnson, president of Buena Vista Home Entertainment, said in Daily Variety, February 13, 1998, of Disney's forthcoming U.S. release of Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 Japanese box-office-record-breaking feature Princess Mononoke, "This is not anime ... it's not effects-driven or violence-driven." Mike Lazzo, vice president of programming for the Cartoon Network, assured the public in USA Today, December 18, 1997 that anime is not shown on American TV. "Japan animation is so different from what airs here ... It's far edgier, adult and violent. Anime isn't very story-based ... The story is hard to follow." When it was pointed out that the Cartoon Network shows Speed Racer and Voltron, both juvenile action-adventure TV cartoon series produced in Japan, Lazzo said that "neither show is in the style of anime." (In the original Japanese version of Voltron, the Earth is completely destroyed by the space villains. That episode is omitted from the heavily rewritten American version.) This evolution of the definition of anime will doubtlessly be intensified by the increasing importation of Japanese animated adult erotic fare, to mix with the action-adventure anime market. When the first anime-genre videos were released in 1990-91 through mail order and direct sales to the comic-book fandom specialty stores, it was understood by this market that these were animated equivalents of movies like The Terminator and Die Hard, full of explosions, blood-'n-guts, adult dialogue, and often a brief risqué nude scene. Around 1994 the anime videos expanded into the major video mass-market chains and became accessible to the general public, which tends to assume automatically that all animated cartoons are safe for children. This resulted in the necessity for warning advisories on the video boxes such as "Contains violence and nudity;" "Contains brief nudity and mature situations. Parental discretion advised;" and, "Recommended for Mature Viewers." But these did not yet include explicit sexual titles.

Osamu Tezuka tried to create a popular acceptance of animation in 1969 with One Thousand and One Nights which contained all the erotic innuendo of the original Persian tales. Tezuka Productions.Anime's Beginnings Asian attitudes towards eroticism have always been more open than those of the West. One of the earliest Japanese TV cartoon series was Sennin Buraku (Hermits' Village), a fifteen-minute late-night erotic humor anthology roughly equivalent to "Playboy's Ribald Classics" which aired from 11:40 to 11:55 p.m. for two months in 1963. Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) is revered as the father of both Japan's comic book and animation industries, writing and illustrating the series known in America as Astro Boy and Kimba, the White Lion. It is less well known that Tezuka also tried to create a popular acceptance of animation with intellectually artistic mature themes. In November 1966, he produced Pictures at an Exhibition, a Fantasia-like transformation of Mussorgsky's famous composition into a modern political cartoon, presenting the musical "pictures" as satirical portraits of ruthless corporate bosses, affectedly aesthetic artists, scandal-mongering journalists, rebellious teens, vapid TV personalities and the like. In June 1969, he released One Thousand and One Nights, a 128-minute adult adaptation of The Arabian Nights full of adventure, Rabelaisian humor, and all the erotic innuendo of the original Persian tales. This was a major theatrical release, intended by Tezuka to be comparable to Western live-action movie adaptations of such adult literary classics as Lady Chatterley's Lover and Lolita. Japanese animated explicitly adult cartoons developed along with the general animated direct-to-video market. The first Japanese Original Animated Video (OAV) title was a science-fiction drama, Dallos, released in December 1983. The third OAV release, on February 21, 1984, was Lolita Anime I: Yuki no Kurenai Kesho * Shojo Bara Kei (freely translated, Crimson Cosmetic on the Snow * Young Girls' Rose Punishment). This half-hour video, first in the short-lived Wonder Kids erotic anime series, consisted of two 15-minute dramas of rape and sadistic sexual torture/murder of schoolgirls, whose spirits exact a gruesome supernatural vengeance. Of the seventeen OAVs released during 1984, six were "general" and eleven were pornographic. In 1985, after the viability of the direct-video market for action-adventure anime had been established, the total was 28 action-adventure titles to just another eleven porno titles. The Japanese domestic OAV market has grown accordingly, over the past decade, with 1997's output of 162 "general" titles and 62 erotic titles (including some multiple volumes of series) being about the average ratio. The Anime Porn Players There are differences of opinion as to what constitutes "anime porn," but four anime specialty video producers have special labels for their releases which primarily emphasize nudity and explicit adult sexual situations. These are A.D. Vision's SoftCel Pictures series, Central Park Media's Anime 18 series, Media Blasters' Kitty Media series, and The Right Stuf International's Critical Mass series. The other anime specialty producers state that they are not interested in getting into the video erotica market. However, most of them have at least one adult feature in their catalogues which includes a brief but intense "shocker" scene such as a graphic rape. For some sensibilities, this is enough to establish the movie as pornography.

Adult-themed or explicit anime releases in the U.S. are usually accompanied by warning labels. Samples shown here are courtesy of Streamline Pictures, Manga Entertainment and Central Park Media.Two such companies, Manga Entertainment (ME) and Streamline Pictures, feel that their video box art makes it clear to the public that their anime titles are adult action-adventure rather than eroticism. Chicago-based Manga Entertainment's media relations representative, Danielle Opyt, says, "Due to the basic nature of anime, all of our videos bear a distinctive sticker showing our Manga Man cartoon spokesman and our flaming Manga Entertainment logo, with the warning, "Manga Man Says Parental Discretion Advised." This covers everything from strong language to brief nudity and graphic violence." Carl Macek, president of Streamline Pictures in Los Angeles, says, "We have always presented anime for a wide range of tastes, from child-friendly to movies whose main characters are engaged in such obviously mature activities as smoking and drinking cocktails. Those which contain brief but intense adult situations carry an appropriate warning notice. In 1994 we arranged with Orion Home Video to distribute most of our titles, and Orion created a "Not For Kids" sticker which it has automatically put on all the Streamline video boxes. This includes the whole range from PG-level content to R-level content." 041b061a72
