Being a character in the DC universe, as opposed to those widely known in Japan through manga or anime, Raven is not large enough in the east to be recognized by many doujin creators. In fact, more of the works featuring her entangled with hentai tentacles are western fan art. Oftentimes the art was not created for any professional purpose and some of it was previously freely released in venues like USENET. Some entrepreneurial website owners, though, saw the value of the images, knowing the popularity of hentai tentacles in general, and decided them to be orphan works and added them to their website galleries. While not as big as the top anime and manga characters, Raven still has carved out a small spot in the world of hentai.

With the advent of computers and desktop publishing, lavish color could be introduced into the world of hentai tentacles. Even artists like the creator of the genre defining Urotsukidouji started using pen tablets to draw directly into the computer in full color. Doujin circles began to put out CG collections which featured art quality previously reserved for high quality magazine covers. Even this height wasn’t the pinnacle for the hentai tentacles world. 3D CGI opened the door to an even newer, more detailed, near photorealistic style of hentai artwork. Tentacles were now rendered in slimy 3D realism and their victims approached the look of real people. It’s difficult to even imagine the amazing places hentai tentacle pics can go from here.

The erroneous idea that all anime is hentai, or involves tentacles, is fading fast in the west. In the past there weren’t a plethora of anime shows on network and cable TV. Anime was a little known hobby that one had to go to specialty stores to procure. Even on the web, there were only a few fan sites and , unfortunately for the growth of the medium as a whole, many of them were, in fact, tentacle hentai galleries. It was all most viewers knew or cared about. This is not to say, though, that the mainstream explosion of popularity for anime has curbed the growth of hentai tentacles on the web. More sites than not are still adult sites, and that means plenty of tentacle hentai galleries still out their for fans.

The purpose of the free trailer, in the case of a hentai tentacles preview, is to entice web surfer with clips from something larger, to get that viewer to click to the originating site. Because of the prevalence of this marketing tactic though, the result is that some USENET groups might be full of hentai tentacle trailers and other free content. What this has led to is a number of surfers choosing USENET or other free portals as their last stop for adult or, in this case, hentai tentacles, content.? While they may not see any one video its entirety, there may be literally hours of content, in the form of previews and trailers, in a single newsgroup for their viewing pleasure. How this affects the industry overall remains to be seen.

The creator of the original manga, on which the popular tentacle hentai video is based, is often credited as having singlehandedly given birth to the, now huge, hentai tentacles genre. At a time when adult manga was becoming stale and monotonous, he strove to bring something new to the medium, and from that effort this popular series was born. After the release and popularity of the original video, many video releases in the series followed and continued its popularity. Even though the genre as a whole grew with many copycat creators coming up with new and more outrageous scenarios involving hentai tentacles, the originator stayed on top with each new creation he managed to get to market. To this day he is still heralded as one hentai’s greatest treasures.

Oftentimes when anime or manga is licensed in the west, the original artwork is sent to the studio that will localize it for their audience. This means that the video or pages, before the censor is added to comply with Japanese law, is sent to the license holder. Anime videos, featuring hentai tentacles, sold in the western market are, therefore, almost always totally uncensored. Through file sharing, many of these videos have made their way online as well, creating a wide variety of uncensored tentacle content. The anime audience, though, is an impatient audience. Not willing to wait for local licensing, many grab material directly from Japan to “fansub” and put up online. This means that there is also content still containing the Japanese censor out there too. Still, for those seeking their hentai tentacle totally uncensored, there’s plenty of it to sift through.

One of the things fans of the genre seek after is the, so called, money shot. With a horde of hentai tentacles, fans tend to get more bang for their buck, so to speak. It’s not just the sex scenes with hentai tentacles that are full of possibilities though. From a story standpoint, seeing as many such tentacle scenes might be part of a large manga or video, there are many interesting ways to involve or create the tentacles. Alien creatures, demons, magic or even plants have been written in to bring hentai tentacles plausibly into the story. The genre is full of ideas and will likely continue to find original ways to implement the tentacle.

Seeing as such a product would more than likely come from Japan, it’s difficult to tell how well something like this would go over. For one thing, many Japanese, living in a space concious society, don’t even have personal computers. Their mobile devices are powerful enough for most tasks which desktop computers are used in the west. This would change the rules of how a doujin circle, desiring to bring hentai tentacles online, would approach such a project. Still, so many factors seem to be leading in that direction. One can only imagine that it won’t be long before the idea becomes a reality.

Hentai Flash games featuring tentacle sex are becoming more common. They range in quality from the simplistic, using Flash symbols and vector morphs for motion, to the complex, featuring full 3D animation. Hentai tentacles in 3D animation are very difficult to pull off successfully. Although 3D software has filtered down into the hands of the masses, a lot of the tools for very organic work are limited and underdeveloped. This, of course, hasn’t stopped some doujin circles from incorporating hentai tentacles into their creations. In some cases, animation is still stiff and very CG looking, but others are getting the hang of it. It’s only a matter of time before we see a brighter future for hentai tentacles in Flash based games.

It is often said that manga owes much of its roots to old, Japanese woodblock paintings. The influence can definitely be seen, and some woodblock art even told stories in a sequence of panels. Some might be surprised to find that the tentacle as a sex object may have made its debut in this ancient art form. More than one woodblock painting has been discovered which shows a woman sexually intwined with an octopus. Whether or not the explosion of hentai tentacles in modern manga and anime owes its origins to this artwork is up for debate, but the modern works are far from the first. With doujin circles continuing to find new ways to use tentacles in hentai, we can be certain that what we see today is far from the last.
