Hentai vs. Anime
 

I know nothing about the niche.

Can someone please explain to me what the difference between Hentai and Anime are?

"Hen-tai" - means "big wierdo" - a.k.a. pervert.
"Anime" is a japanese abbreviation of "Animation"

Perverted Animation is called Hentai Anime, or Hentai for short.

"Perverted Anime" = = = porn cartoons from Japan.

That's pretty much it...

Thanks Vic, I appreciate it.

Hello! Let me know if you need some exclusive content.. thanks... :upsidedow

:thumbsup

anytime at all! :)

does hentai actually translate literally to big weirdo? lol

Hentai means that anything cute you see with sweet sounding music is about to be suddenly and sadistically raped in every orifice by tentacles.

Nah technically sexually perverted.
Though it also can mean metamorphosis and abnormality.

That sums it up perfectly :thumbsup Japanese porn is sick, so is hentai...it's all about pedo and rape fantasies. :mad:

hen means wierd

tai could derive from dai, which means foremost, big, topmost

i like my lose translations, "big wierdo"

Aftershock's post impelled me to wiki, where i found his post and this:

"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".

"wierd attitude" is probably the best scholastic translation of the word. hentai seiyoku, would be "wierd attitude towards sex"

but still, i like fucking around - if it weren't for the kanji, "tai" could be "dai" and it would be "big wierdo"

when in doubt, however... say "dai hentai" - means you are REALLY off the charts.

Hentai = XXX Japanese Animation
Anime = Japanese Cartoons

...ya learn something nude every day...

for the public, it's the same, cartoon porn ...

This gives me the clear info about this two niche:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

No really - a lot of you are missing the point and thinking you're getting it. Anime is not a "niche" because it's not PORN at all.

Turn on Cartoon Network or Fuse or watch Pokemon or whatever mainstream America is serializing these days... that's ANIME.

HENTAI is when anime is not for Kids, when it is adult... PORN.

My favorite Hentai is Dragon Pink - it's hysterical. I also like Spaceship Agga Router, and Magic Woman. LA Blue is OK too. It does get old after a bit, but so does everything.
