OT : How did Hentai come to be?

[Knightosis]

I know Hentai is from Japan, but I'm just curious, how DID this thing
ever get started?

I mean, who in Japan actually made the first Hentai? Since, it is
somewhat popular I just always wondered who was the guy who
actually thought, "Hey I know, I'll make an animated pornography!"

Well if you mean erotic drawings...it's been around for a long time.

Sex has always been a major issue in human history, so basically it just stems from people so interested in it they wanted to draw it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Japan have a tradition of erotic art embeded into its cultural history?

It does from what I've seen.

iirc, a big thing that helped the tentacle bit evolve are japan's goofy decency laws.

something along the lines that a, um, biologically correct male organ can't be shown. there's nothing against, (and i have no idea who started it either) having an exxagerated, "tentacle" type organ though.

there's something about hair in certain places too, which is why the women are usually, um, "shaved".

and i think there's something about bodily fluids too, even, which is why they tend to be radioactive looking.

hey, i got a little curious after seeing a blurred out scene in one of the overfiend movies. "everything they show, and the STILL CENSOR something?!? wtf?"

Yup, pillowbooks. Though I think they were originally more of a sex ed for the young brides and grooms rather than the equivalent of modern erotic art.

Yeah, those crazy Japanese and their totally insane censorship laws.... which were introduced by the US during the occupation..

I'm aware that erotic art is old as hell, I meant, specifically how did Hentai
get made?

I doubt Osamu Tezuka made it.

I mean WHO did start it?

[Knightosis]

Anime is more mainstream animation.

I'm asking who made the first animated Hentai. Who started the "craze"
so to speak.

Well, the first one brought up is generally Cream Lemon (Don't recall who made it, except they later made Project A-Ko. Well, they initially intended to do A-Ko as a Cream Lemon title, but they changed their minds). It probably wasn't the first, but I'm prety sure it was the first one to do well enough to gain real recognition.

[Sanagi]

I think it was probably an obvious idea to everyone in the porn business once animation became popular.

Alao, Katsushika Hokusai, a man known as the actual inventor of Manga(He also did that one picture of the really huge wave), made a woodcut called The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dream_of_the_Fisherman%27s_Wife) You can guess what that's getting at.

Before(and during, and after) that, the Japanese had always had shunga, which were erotic pictures made as woodblock pictures or in painted scrolls.

But yes, Urotsukidoji was actually the first anime with tentacles.

[OverMaster]

Actually, ISTR Tezuka did at least one hentai manga (the man was an all-terrain), but I'm not too sure about it.

No, actually Cream Lemon came out with Tentacles before that, it's just Urotsukidoji took the concept to such an extreme, it became the model.

First thing I thought when I read the title, and i's the first reply. Well done, my Jaw brethren.

And that is why Aub will hunt you down and kill you.

No, I'm going to hunt him down for this:
