Topic: How do people react when you tell them you like anime and manga?

[SonicDaMan]

Get your "friends" to watch something really adult. There are some really creepy and violent animes out there, much worse than the American stuff they watch >=)

Anything you care to recommend SDM?

Nope, lol, I don't know anything to be quite honest XDDDDD coughcoughcoughcoughcoug hbibleblackcoughcoughcou ghcoughcough

[janus]

well that's why in the united states they show most of the anime (obviously not the one targeted to children)  in the Adult Swim channel mixed in with american crude comedy cartoons

[SonicDaMan]

[FallinG_StaR]

Yes, 'nuff said.

Whether you should or not... it depends on your sex life.

I don't see any harm in watching Hentai, unless you're so young or so naive that you get traumatized by watching it.

Like... if sex is a normal thing, why can people draw about it? And if people watch porn, why shouldn't they watch Hentai?

Anyways, call me weird or whatever but I don't mind watching hentai if and only if it has a good plot, story and characters. Otherwise, I'm not going to watch it because... I lose the interest.

LoL... the anime we're talking about has some traumatizing scenes... XD

[cata]

The most traumatizing thing I've ever heard about sex was from a friend's of mine mouth. I'll share with you guys if you want but through a PM. lol

[janus]

Falling_star what have you done to this thread ( or who ever started this)? this has become 18+ discussion  :D

[FallinG_StaR]

LoL

I'm still on topic... I'm just sharing something about the reaction people have towards manga and anime... from an hentai point of view... XD

That obviously is something for people over 18 or +21... and subsequently anime and manga aren't just for kids...

[cata]

I wouldn't consider this being 18+ discussion since lots of people have sex or know 100% what sex is (I'm not only talking about STDs and where babies come from) before they reach 18 years old. -.-

But anyways, Falling is right since Hentai is an Anime genre.

[SonicDaMan]

What's funny is that when I watch anime, every once in a while, someone would say "HENTAI!", and then the subs just say "pervert" XD

[Urusei0Yatsura]

If I wanted to show adults anime and for them to enjoy it, I think it would have to be non hentai material, because if you show them that and then say: "I watch anime all the time", then they are going to think you are sex obsessed and that all anime is perverted.

So if I was to show adult friends anime I would show them something that was aimed at adults I would use one with violence and crime to show them what anime is about. The only problem is I don't know any suitable anime.

[FallinG_StaR]

Ghost in the Shell... Black Lagoon... Anime american style... guns, violence... and partial nudity... XD

SonicDaMan...

Hentai is a Japanese word that, in the West, is used when referring to sexually explicit or pornographic comics and animation, particularly those of Japanese origin such as anime, manga and computer games (see Japanese pornography or not... ). In Japan it can be used to mean "metamorphosis" or "abnormality". The word "hentai" has a negative connotation to the Japanese and is commonly used to mean "sexually perverted".

In Japanese the word hentai is a kanji compound of 変 (hen meaning "change" "weird" or "strange") and 態 (tai meaning "attitude" or "appearance"). The term is used as a shortened form of the phrase 変態性欲 (hentai seiyoku), or "sexual perversion". In slang, 変態 (hentai) is used as an insult meaning roughly "pervert" or "weirdo". The term is not often applied to pornography in Japan. Instead, terms such as 18-kin (18禁, literally "18-prohibited") meaning "prohibited to those not yet 18 years old", and seijin manga (成人漫画 "adult manga") are used when referring to pornography. The English letters AV are also used, standing for adult video.
