Japanese hentai was for a long time found almost exclusively in mangas (Japanese word for comics). Hentai is the Japanese word meaning ‘sexually perverse’ and is used to describe any production or material that is explicitly sexual in content. As the process for making animated cartoons (anime) became more advanced and more economical to produce, hentai began to appear in short anime video clips. These clips would be in the form of short intense sexual scenes that lasted only a minute or two. Sometime these clips would actually be portions of longer anime movies, but early on they were the only anime videos to be found.
As longer hentai anime films were made, more clips were produced and placed on websites on the internet. Many of these websites are dedicated to a specific form of hentai and some are only about a particular series or character. Several of these sites are ‘pay for play’ and require a membership for full access to the website’s library of hentai material, but as a ‘teaser’ they will also allow a visitor to download a short hentai clip right from the homepage.
