nanoshi, i really don't want to argue with you on that matter, but so many selfmade ideas is really irritating: there is ONE thing that is reccurent/common to MOST hentai things (except from the tentaculoid horror based ones, that is part of hentai but that does not stand for the majority of the genre) and that you WON'T find in us/occidental porn. it is HUMOR most of the time, hentai feature very comical/humoristic situations, and if they are not in a comical setting, they usually rely on other things. one other thing you will not find in porn movie but in hentai is PLOT and scenario for most hentai movies, especially the non comical or non demon/monster based one, there are always real cool plots... take mezzo forte or Kite (from the same designer), take necronomicon, and so on... for me, reducing hentai to perverted cartoon rawn porn with demons and tentacle is like saying cinema movies are reduced to only singing movies (like singing in the rain).. ouips that is already done as for most people, animated movie ae ONLY disney, :) so i strongly advice to broaden first your experience with hentai and try out a few various series or movies before using a sub category as a generic definition, no offence, thanx. i aleady have heard all those lame speech over and over in my country agaisnt ANIMe (classic one) then against hentai, so far and i am a bit tired having to explain that NO, anime and hentai are not only based about schoolgirl being raped by tentacular demons who are figthing against violence super power figthers :) it is not you specially, but after a thousand time the same speech i get bored :) if you want i can tell you of a few series now i also admit that in hentai there is common "porn"/sexual fetichism typical to japanese culture (and that i don't endorse so far) such as bondage, and such... but there are also some of the funniest things i ever saw :)
