Of the many varied categories of anime, or Japanese animation, none is as endlessly fascinating and controversial as its approach to sex and the erotic. From the arthouse refinement of The Sensualist to the violent extremes of the Legend of the Overfiend series, it's an unpredictable and highly charged area that has never been fully explored. Until now.
Researched by Helen McCarthy, author of the award-winning The Anime Movie Guide, and respected anime and manga translator Jonathan Clements, The Erotic Anime Movie Guide is the first in-depth examination of the field of erotic Japanese animation, written for both the intrigued casual viewer and committed fan alike. It features:
- Sex, horror, and tentacles
- The Cream Lemon phenomenon
- Sex comedy from Go Nagai to U-jin
- Shonen ai: gay erotica for women
- Censorship and the media
- Computer games and interactive erotica
- A-Z listings of over 200 erotic anime titles
