Its Anime porno, in some cases it's awesome, and in others horribly disgusting.

EDIT: @Xlxlx Yes, yes there is .

Animated porn? There's people out there into THAT?! I.... I need a drink.....

Yeah there are. That and it's sub divisions

Hentai
Yuri (Girl on Girl)
Yaoi (Boy on Boy

Shit..... I'll just go watch the first Hellsing OVA again. I need to stop thinking about the existence of Asian porn cartoons, because it's just too much for my mind to handle

I think every fan of anime's brain starts to go haywire wen the possibility of anime porn is presented.

Hey guys, check it out, somebody made Gut's huge ass sword.

Skip to the end to see the dude swinging it... with great effort.

Damn that things is cool.

My mind has gone indeed haywire, but not in a good way. Not good AT ALL.

Most of the time, said porn isn't even made by the creators, but the fans. And they make tons of money.

GAINAX, creators of Evangelion and Gurren Lagann, have found a very easy way to cash in on this phenomenon: DO IT YOURSELF.

Animated porn seems like literally the least offensive type of porn y'all niggas can't handle it? Dayum.

NO
Wanna know why? Because if it's animated, it can go fucking ANYWHERE.

Tentacles being the main end point

What? Literally; WHAT?!

:loL: how do you not know about this stuff? I thought everyone knew tentacle porn.

Then I shall refrain from mentioning anything about tentacles (edit: too late for that, it seems), floods of sperm, torture and amputations, and depictions of minors engaging in unspeakable acts, all of which are far too common in hentai for both my tastes and my sanity. Also, their hips always move on their own (people who've read enough hentai will get this joke).

On a rather unrelated topic, release dates for the last two movies of the latest installment of the Evangelion franchise have been announced. Evangelion 3.0 will happen this fall, and 4.0 sometime next year. That's in japanese cinemas, BTW. DVD/Blu-ray will come later.

I totally agree with you about the extreme stuff Gelal, it's way too prevalent for my taste.

That said, I do enjoy the more normal, not totally depraved stuff, and there ARE Hentai OVA's out there that are fairly harmless. I personally prefer to keep pain, humiliation, rape and other stuff along those lines far away from my erotic viewing.

That's it; fuck it, I'll stick to my Hellsing OVA's, thank you.

I can't wait.

Looks interesting, but do I need to watch the first series before watching those? I've avoided watching NGE for awhile now because of the bad things I was hearing about it but... it does look pretty interesting.

The Rebuild movies stand on their own, but I'd suggest watching the show anyway, if only for the benefit of comparison.

And the TV show isn't bad, per se, but it's not the end-all-be-all of anime like ADV proclaimed it was. It starts off as a good action series with good comedy and some interesting character study, but budget problems bog it down in the middle. Its funding was completely cut after episode 22, so they had to finish the last 4 episodes with nothing, and they did so fairly well. On a scale from 1-10, I'd give the original series a 6 or a 7, but the Rebuild movies are 9-10 material, easily.

Interesting. I haven't seen the Rebuild movies yet, but I have seen the original series and would even go so far as calling it a landmark series. While it certainly isn't my favorite, I can tell that anime wasn't the same after it came out. Suddenly, big robots weren't just about selling toys anymore, and I don't know if there was a series before it with so much ambiguity. It's impact is undeniable, which is why I find your assessment interesting. I had sort of heard that the Rebuild movies were a kind of Michael-Bay revisioning, focusing more on the action and less on the psychological. Some might argue that the psychological nature of the original series was a result of the budget cuts, but I think the psychological elements were prevalent throughout, so turning the story from this experimental project to a summer blockbuster feels shallow, but I must restate that I haven't seen them yet. To be honest, I'm not really excited about them in the first place. I remember when I first heard about them, my first thought was, "Really? They're gonna milk this like it's Star Wars?" I'll get to them eventually, but they aren't high on my list.

It's not quite a Michael Bay-style revisioning as much as it is moving at a brisker pace with an unlimited budget. Sure, the action's been ramped up and pretty, but the psychological aspect is still there. Take, for example, the scene where Shinji has to destroy Unit 03 and Gendo authorizes use of the Dummy System in Rebuild of Eva 2.22 (in this version, Asuka is the pilot instead of Toji). It's faster and flashier, but the psychological implications are still very present, and you could even say the horror is compounded further by the choice of music.

It's different from the original in other ways, too (a new character in Mari Makinami, Asuka is more introverted, Shinji isn't as helpless, Rei HAS A PERSONALITY, etc.), but it stays true to the original feel of NGE.

Agreed. In fact, and this will make Xlxlx's mind go even more haywire, I know of a few non-hentai titles that are more disturbing than "normal" hentai. Tokyo Red Hood, anyone?



The suggested (almost mandated IMHO) viewing order for Eva is as follows:

1 - Original TV series. Director's cut (a.k.a Renewal of Evangelion) remastered edition if possible, for the extra scenes and other little things that make it nicer than the version that originally aired on japanese TV.

2 - Evangelion: Death & Rebirth (two movies: the first one (Death) is optional, the second (Rebirth) is an alternate version of the last two episodes of the TV series but with less mindfuck, recommended if you want to know what was going on during Instrumentality outside of Shinji's mind).

3 - The new movies (Rebuild of Evangelion), in order. Latest versions if possible (i.e. 1.11, 2.22, and so on; 1.0 is the version of the first movie as shown in cinemas, 1.01 is the DVD/Blu-ray version with some edits which was also re-screened at cinemas, 1.11 is the DVD/Blu-ray version with even more edits; yes, it's ridiculous, just wait for the last DVD/Blu-ray version like everyone else).

As Zelkiiro said, the new movies are more or less standalone, and they deviate from the original storyline. Still, with the issue of whether they're a sequel or a retelling of the original still unclear, I'd recommend watching the TV series too. Just in case it ends up being a sequel which might make you go "wait, what?" if you haven't experienced the TV series.

There are also a few details in the movies that are either not explained as well as in the TV series, or presented in such a way that those who watched the original series will experience them differently. For example, you might not find it strange that some scenes show a frigging ship in the middle of Tokyo, or that the sea is red. And if you do, you might not think much of it. Those of us who watched the original anime, however, will rage at the author for it, 'cause both of those hint at the new movies being a sequel. As do many more things, like some of the dialogue, etc, etc.

Why yes, I'm also a huge Evangelion fan.

A quick search reveals that its ero-guro...which is hentai.

That's news to me, I've always seen it classified as merely seinen (Wikipedia, MyAnimeList, all online manga readers where I've seen it, etc. describe it as such). The ero-guro tag certainly fits better, but from what I remember (not that I ever finished it, too weird, too sick) it lacks explicit sex, so calling it hentai doesn't seem quite right either.

Death & Rebirth is one movie, and it summarizes the episodes that came before 25-26. The End of Evangelion is the 2nd movie, which focuses on 25-26. It also served as Anno Hideaki's giant middle finger to everyone who criticized the original TV ending. :V

I remember Death and Rebirth being an absolute waste of my time because I saw it AFTER I saw the TV series and End of Evangelion. Death was just a summary of the TV series and Rebirth was the first half-hour of End of Evangelion. I remember watching it and being completely blown away at how pointless it was (retrospectively).

Damn, you're absolutely right. I brainfarted pretty hard there. Totally inexcusable.

@bj_waters: Same here. Since then, in every rewatch, I've skipped Death & Rebirth.

Japan: demonstrating that genius and insanity go hand in hand since the dawn of time.

Well, it's a country where there are underwear vending machines (at least one that I know of, maybe more). Like the ones where you can get juice or a pepsi, but you get underwear instead. What were you expecting?

That sounds kind of practical when you think about it..... If you're a mental patient, that is.

I got about four episodes into Steins Gate last night and, wow! The plot and characters are quite compelling and the animation is excellent too, hell even the opening and ending themes are pretty great, looking forward to watching some more tonight.

Also, this morning I watched about five mins into the fifth Hellsing Ultimate OVA, and was treated to about five mins of WTF. Guess I'll finish it sometime in the near future.

And thanks for the NGE tips, I'm sure I'll put them to good use someday.

Probably my favourite show from last year. If you like it so far after only a couple episodes you will absolutely love the rest of it.



Haha, I was waiting for someone to mention this.

From wiki, "The manga is popular for its young main character and the different sex acts she partakes in. It's also known for its over-the-top gore and violence". I never read it nor do I plan to, but is that wrong?

It's the best. Tentacles or GTFO.

It's technically right (note that I never finished it either, although I'll admit I've started re-reading it since I mentioned it here, and this time I plan on finishing it, as much as it may make me want to puke at times). But there's a difference between a character partaking in sex acts and those acts being shown explicitly. I'd say the later is a requirement to apply the hentai descriptor to something, whereas the "ecchi" or "ero" tags are more suitable for non-explicit sex. Otherwise, a ton of things that AFAIK nobody ever considered hentai would be described as such: Nozoki Ana, Umi no Misaki, Aki-sora... Tokyo Red Hood is slightly more explicit than those, of course, but the really over-the-top parts are the violence and gore, not the sex. Now, I'm not saying that the hentai descriptor is wrong in this case, just that it barely (if at all) qualifies as hentai. You can't quite put it on the same level as, say, Bible Black. Therefore I suggest the creation and use of a new descriptor that suits such works: "fucked up stuff".

And speaking of fucked up stuff, I gotta go back to playing Katawa Shoujo. But I'll watch episode 13 of Chihayafuru before that.

Haha, I've been playing that too. Just finished Emi's route which was quite... entertaining to say the least. Might do the other routes some other time, if I can ever be bothered.

Seems like everybody does Emi's route first. It just... flows naturally, I guess. I trust you got the good end? I doubt I could ever get the bad one, I'm sure it'd take some really poor choices. Although I do have a good idea of which choices could land me there (namely, nagging her too much at the wrong times).

The next two attempts landed me in what I call the "shitty end":


No idea what I did wrong to get there twice in a row. Now it seems I'm playing the route of the student council members. We'll see how that one goes. I'm currently advancing through act three, and things seem to be progressing swimmingly.

EDIT: All praise to the Great Old Ones. The production of the Hollywood live action Akira movie has been stopped indefinitely. Now if only the same thing happened with that travesty they plan to do with Cowboy Bebop in which they casted Keanu Reeves as Spike...

How's that? Is it, in any way, Nasuverse-level good? (Though holy shit I'm reading about it and it's FREE)
