The headline is misleading. Hentai is a subset of anime. Most genres of anime are not pornographic. If Hentai (i.e. “perversion”) isn’t porn; it’s as close to porn as a cartoon can get.
It’s porn. Hardest of the hardcore. I’ve been a *normal Anime) fan since the 80s. And after having seen Urotskudoji: Legend of the Overfiend, I can assure you, it is porn on every level.
Correct. Anime is mostly things like Pokemon. Hentai is the pornographic element.
SCOTUS ruled that cartoons and purely photoshopped depictions are not “contraband” only stuff that was illegal in the making. I believe that the current state of the law is that this stuff is First Amendment protected. I could be wrong, but last time I checked that was the case.
