Title: A Beautiful Greed Nulu Nulu Year: 2017 Starring: Yuuka Asaba, Yoshinari Tsushima Director: Kyouka Kasumi Synopsis: Based on the doujin manga by Z-ton. Lilith's Notes: The things I do for this blog... "I can't believe you really made one of the prideful centaurs fall for you." I have dreams. I have goals. There are aspirations that I long to achieve with this blog. There are certain stones that I need to touch. Touchstones, if you will. When one decides to dedicate themselves to critiquing a genre, and then a sub-genre of that genre, there are certain titles that must be studied, acknowledged, perhaps even revered or ridiculed. I’ve rubbed up against some of them; Heavy Metal, Cool Devices, Spicy City, but there are others still that I am not yet mentally or emotionally prepared for either their politics or their sophomoric humour. To escape my responsibilities, I run and hide in anime for need of something, anything to review. Sometimes I think an...

Title: The Elven Bride Year: 1995 Starring:  Yumi Kuroda, Yasunori Matsumoto Director:  Hiroshi Yamakawa Synopsis: Mixed marriages are a tricky thing, so when the human Kenji and the elf Milfa get married, the course of true love does not run smoothly... especially when it turns out that there's a certain difference in plumbing that makes it almost impossible for them to consummate their marriage! - Via AnimeNewsNetwork Lilith's Notes: This classic anime is out of print. Good luck. "Harpy Ooze" Have you ever written fanfiction before? Let’s do some of that right now. Because I'm feeling inspired and I have a creative tale in my brain that imagines how exactly Elven Bride came into existence. Once, there was a man named Hiroshi Yamakawa, who really, really wanted to see Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War get fucked. He decided not to let his dreams be dreams, approached the Hentai p...

Title: Cool Devices Year: 1995 Starring: Yoko Asada, Shihori Niwa Director: Hiroshi Matsuda, Junichi Tanabe Synopsis: A set of Japanese animated stories revolving around various sexual perversions. - Via IMDB.com Lilith's Notes: Classic gateway hentai. "Again, please." Last April, when I decided to do a month full of anime, I imagined plenty of people yelling at the screen demanding certain staples of hentai be reviewed. Yes. Obviously some of them should. But I didn’t want to make it too easy on myself. I didn’t want to reach for something that’s both top-shelf and low bar. Sure, I could have just reviewed Ninja Scroll and pat myself on the back for a job well done, but where’s the adventure in that? So, I come to Cool Devices, an OG of hentai, not out of reverence for the material, not because it paid dues by merely having a 1990’s release date, but because we just wandered drunkenly through Easter Weekend and it was the only dirty cartoon I could think of t...

Title: Snow White: The Sequel Year: 2007 Starring: Stephen Fry, Sally Ann Marsh, Lia Williams, Simon Greenall Director: Picha Synopsis: Prince Charming was supposed to live long and happily with Snow White after kissing her back to life. However the jealous ‘good’ fairy decides that she and the prince were meant to be, only the start of a whole series of perversions of various fairy tale characters’ traditional good nature. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Our first Picha film. "The most sacred law in all the kingdom requires me to resurrect her with a kiss." Fairy tales are a warm comfort to many. If you've been following me around for a while you know I have immersed myself in the world of fairy tales in order to write my own. But now my book is out in the world, so I can, if I so choose, to leave childish things behind. Yet, lucky for me it's Animated April so I can justify one or two more steamy storybook offerings. That's what led me to Sn...

Title: Fella Pure Year: 2014 Starring:  Kei Mizusawa Director: Tatsumi Synopsis: On the outside, Keiko Mitarai is absolutely perfect; she has a beautiful figure, astounding leadership, and a good reputation among the students. Unbeknownst to many, however, behind the charisma she exudes lies a complete pervert who cannot stop thinking about the sexual art of fellatio. Because of this, whenever her parents are away, she uses her younger brother to discover new ways of giving pleasure, which is bound to one day go too far - Via MyAnimeList Lilith's Notes: A tale of really close dirty siblings. "I'll show you my true colours." There is such thing as comfort content, even in the fought landscape of pornography, even in the never quite know what you're gonna get mosaic of hentai. I was sick this week, thankfully it wasn't Covid but it still reduced me to a weak, fragile kitten with no appetite and a fuzzy brain. So, I bundled up in my trusty ahegao blanket an...

Title: Princess Lover! OVA Year: 2010 Starring: Akira Ishida, Ayaka Kimura, Suzune Kusunoki Director: Manaka Toyota Synopsis: Teppei finds himself surrounded by women of noble bearing and status. He quickly falls for Sylvia van Hossen, a European princess and fencing master. But Sylvia is aloof and difficult to read, and his maid, Yuu Fujikura, seems to have her own agenda. Will Teppei become the Princess Lover, or is his romance with Sylvia destined for failure? - MyAnimeList.net Lilith's Notes: An OVA snippet of a larger ecchi frnachise. "Burn the sight of my lasciviousness into your eyes." God Bless the inventor of the OVA, where little bite sized anime are thrust into the world, with a fully formed story, the very hint of characterization, and most importantly, I don’t have to spend hours of my time watching it. I instead grant thee an hour of my smutty, filthy time. Princess Lover! OVA is part of the Princess Lover franchise, of which I know nothing. It st...

Title: Nikutai Teni AKA Body Transfer Year: 2003 Starring:  Ryo Horikawa,  Director: Yoshitaka Fujimoto, Miho Kuwagata, Kaori Fujisaki Synopsis: Kenichi and several of his friends stay after school to look at a new archaeological find, a bizarre looking mirror. Suddenly, the entire building is transported to an alternate dimension and a magic field surrounds it to prevent them from escaping. Also, their minds have switched to other people's bodies. The only way to switch bodies is when their sexual emotions are high. Kenichi must find a way to return everything back to normal until the dimension falls apart. - Via AnimeNewsNetwork Lilith's Notes: Some good old body swapping! "I know I shouldn't play with it..." Part of the reason I took a hiatus from Animated April for the last…(checks notes)...two years?! Ahem… Is because I knew eventually I wanted to review anime, but there are obvious logistical problems with that. So, since they don't say otherwis...

Title: Belladonna of Sadness Year:  1973 Starring:  Aiko Nagayama, Tatsuya Nakadai, Takao Ito Director: Eiichi Yamamoto Synopsis: A peasant woman is raped by the local lord on her wedding night. To take revenge, she makes a pact with the Devil himself who appears as an erotic sprite and transforms her into a black-robed vision of madness and desire. - Via Letterboxd Lilith's Notes: Part of a trilogy of animated films which I will not be reviewing. "I will never give you my soul!" It's back! Animated April! But we're not just watching adult animation this time, no. We're watching a very specific kind of adult animation. Get your ahegao faces ready and hold up your transformation wands, because this April, we're watching four dirty anime. We begin with Belladonna of Sadness . Want to spend an hour and a half of your life watching the relentless suffering of a young woman? Great, I have just the movie for you. This a long and twisting tale so I...

Welcome to the final entry for Animated April ! We end this journey with an anthology series brought to us by the legendary Ralph Bakshi... Spicy City . Title:  Spicy City Year:  1997 Starring:  Barry Stigler, Mary Mara, Michelle Phillips, Charlie Adler, Letitia Hicks, Tuesday Knight Director:  Ralph Bakshi, John Kafka, Ennio Torresan Jr Synopsis: An anthology of sexy and risque animated stories in a futuristic city with a seamy side. Lilith's Notes:  Is said to be the first Adult's Only animated series. Created by animation legend, Ralph Bakshi. "You know, it's a shame a thing of beauty such as this should go to waste. If only there was some way to get rid of the bitch inside." Planning for Animated April was a surprisingly difficult thing. One would think that it pretty much plans itself, but I completely forgot Easter was a thing. Also originally  Fritz the Cat  was on the list but it's more politics than porn and I just wasn't feeling i...
