Hentai perhaps the most infamous anime genre – is known to be the darkest side of anime. Uneducated, non-Japanese people believe that all anime is hentai, or pornographic. This is a very common misconception along with the belief that anime is just for children. In Japan, hentai literally means perverted or a pervert. Other names for hentai are H-anime and eroanime.

Japan has a different understanding about the line between adult content and mainstream works than the United States and other countries; nudity is not as forbidden in Japan as it is in other cultures. They have communal bathing and in most anime they depict naked people, but not pornographically. For example, in Sailor Moon, the Sailor Scouts as they transform are nude, but no detail is shown.

According to Wikipedia, “The H material tends to use explicit pornographic content. As a form of expressing sexual fantasy, depictions can include those that are unacceptable in society, or run counter to social norms. Such fantasies can be depicted in the extreme, often demonstrating subconscious desires or purely carnal motivations. This contrast between accepted and in some cases legal behavior and primal sexuality is a primary motivation for many works of pornography, and H art is no exception.”

An example of hentai is the well-known La Blue Girl. Watch them here!
