When the New Teen Titans was given its very anime influenced makeover for the recent cartoon series, the young, redesigned Raven, from the DC universe, was bound to attract the attention of hentai fans. Since the vast majority of hentai doujin works involve taking known characters and placing them in anime, manga or CG collections featuring adult content, such as hentai tentacles, it should come as no surprise that any beautiful female character design would be unable to escape the imaginations of doujin circles. Not to be an exception, Raven has been known to appear in hentai artwork from time to time. Read more…
In the world of hentai tentacles, the artwork has undergone some amazing changes over the years. Some credit old Japanese woodblock paintings, which feature a woman sexually entangled with an octopus, as the beginning of this genre, but most are more likely to remember its rise in the world of adult manga. Manga in Japan, not being collectable as it is in the west, is usually black and white and printed on newspaper stock. In its manga beginnings, then, most hentai tentacles artwork was screen toned, meaning black and white with dot patterns to simulate shades of grey. But this was only the humble beginnings of the movement. Read more…
When it comes to anime images, hentai tentacles probably rank at the top in terms of the most in-demand type of content. In fact, it is unlikely that one would come across a hentai anime or manga gallery that is not predominantly, if not completely, a tentacle oriented gallery. Part of this stems from the overall popularity of the tentacle genre in the world of adult anime. Another reason for this, though, is a general lack of knowledge among viewers that there are other forms of hentai out there. The result is that the image placed in the minds of many, unfamiliar with anime in general, is that all anime is of the hentai tentacles genre. Read more…
Most adult websites use a number of methods to capture potential customers. The goal is to, first, get visitors to the site to at least see some what they have to offer. The next step is to convert those visitors into paying customers. The methods used have resulted in an interesting phenomenon for those searching for free content to view, especially in the world of hentai tentacles. Adult anime sites often post free content on USENET, and more recently on other free adult video portals like Youporn.com. These videos, which are basically trailers for longer form material on their site, always contain a link to the address where the full video can be seen. Read more…
Urotsukidouji: Legend of the Overfiend is probably the genre defining media property when it comes to the world of hentai tentacles. It did for adult anime and manga, on a worldwide basis, what Akira did for mainstream science fiction and action manga. While a considerable success back home in Japan, the hentai video broke quite a few sales records abroad as well. It was, for a long time, one of the top selling anime videos in Europe, beating out many mainstream titles. It was, for America, the big introduction of the hentai tentacles genre to the country, and the video saw massive sales in that market as well. Read more…
One of the advantages of hentai tentacles as a genre is that is skirts around the Japanese law requiring censoring of genitalia. A tentacle is a tentacle after all. Still any depictions involving penetration of the female will still have to be censored. The interesting thing to note, though, is that the original artwork is not created with this in mind. For presentation outside of Japan, or possibly even on some pirate boards, the artwork can be seen totally uncensored. Many websites catering to the western audience make a point of offering up totally uncensored hentai tentacles for their viewers. Read more…
Tentacles in hentai have always enjoyed their own special popularity. In fact, a large number of fans seem to prefer seeing beautiful women entangled in hentai tentacles rather than in more normal sexual situations. Part of the reason for this is the versatility of the tentacle. In many popular tentacle manga or videos, the tentacles can tie up a woman in bondage fashion. Artists in the hentai tentacles genre also employ a variety of ends to the tentacles, some resembling the male phallus, or others appearing as anything from french ticklers to monster heads. Its the possibilities which makes the genre so intriguing. Read more…
Hentai has always been viewed as something of a solitary pursuit for fans. They often like to see characters they know and love in compromising situations. Still, genres are crossing all the time. For example, many games featuring hentai tentacles are also fantasy RPGs, a genre popular in its own right. Many manga and CG collections featuring hentai artwork are parodies of popular massive multiplayer online games like Ragnorak Online or Lineage II. It becomes easy to imagine, considering these facts, that it would only take a doujin circle with the right mix of net savvy and ingenuity to bring us a massive multiplayer hentai game. Read more…
The tentacle as a vehicle for hentai is so popular that it infiltrates every medium available to doujin circles. Naturally it is most prevalent in manga, but we also see it in anime and full color CG art collections. With the advent of new technology, we are now seeing hentai tentacles make their way into Flash games. Games are genrally harder to produce than manga or CG collections. Those featuring full animation are even more time consuming to create. Add hentai tentacles to the mix and you have a combination of elements that will turn away all but the most dedicated doujin circles. Luckily, the dedicated exist. Read more…
The use of tentacles in adult, erotic art has quite a long history, which has shaped the world of hentai. Tentacles serve two purposes. First, they can be used as a substitute for male genitalia, but, unlike depictions of such, do not have to be censored as required by law. Second, they also serve as a means of bondage. While a large number of fans of the tentacle genre were introduced to the idea through anime videos featuring hentai tentacles, that is far from their first appearance in the world of Japanese erotic artwork.
