Mecha Musume Combines Hentai With Transportation For Your Pleasure

Jason Chen — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:45:18 EDT

If masturbating to jet planes or the Titanic seems a little too weird for you, Joel over at BB Gadgets sheds some light on the Mecha Musume genre, which combines hentai girls with modes of transportation to form one weird-looking pin-up picture. By modes of transportation, we're talking fighter jets, big boats, cars, Gundams and pretty much any piece of hardware you can get around in or on. Joel has more details on the origins of this if you're so inclined. We usually try not to pass judgement on other people's proclivities, but wanting to fuck an F-16 is just odd.

Japan Watch: Vista Handles Japanese Hentai Games Really Well

Jason Chen — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 17:00:15 EST

We've got different priorities than the Japanese. The first things we do when we get Vista are installing it on a Mac, figuring out how SideShow works, and scoping out the Windows Experience. What do the Japanese do? They make sure they can run multiple instances of different hentai games.

So yeah, if you're into this sort of thing—we mean, who isn't—then you can safely see that Vista handles NINE different hentai games simultaneously. You can even use Flip3D to toggle between them. Hell, you can even control each one's volume independently. Sugoii!

Japanese witch-hunting game prefers skirt lifting to dunking stool

SNK clearly thinks it knows its native Japanese market well, otherwise it would never have the cojones to pimp a game as twisted as Dokidoki Majosaiban (Exciting Witch Trial) for kiddies' favorite, the Nintendo DS.

The clever/totally screwed-up otaku behind the game have decided that using the touchscreen on the DS to fondle women (dressed as schoolgirls, naturally) is by far the best way to determine if they're witches. Errr.

I'd expect this kind of thing from a niche publisher – God knows there are enough stores that specialize in this stuff here – but SNK? Anyway, as the pic above suggests, there's also a Wii version in the works, which sounds doubly unpleasant given all the jigging about Wii owners are likely to dig. – Jonny Hiratsuka

Amazon Pushes PR()N

While many—say, for example, a Northeastern bachelor farmer from the 1880s sending away to the Sears Catalog for a wife—may not know the difference between anime and hentai, I'm sure many of you do. However, Amazon, like that bachelor farmer, is unaware of this distinction and, most importantly, children looking for a copy of Akira will soon discover that distinction if they type "anime" into Amazon's search box. Joel at Consumerist explains:

Imagine the outrage from parents if the first returned product on Amazon in a search for movies returned a hardcore pornography DVD. Adam, a fan of the Japanese cartoon stories known as anime, has noticed something perhaps even worse: Searches for anime on Amazon return results for hentai, or adult, X-rated anime films. The top result [as pictured] is for a hentai film called Princess 69'

A fur piece from Sailor Moon, that's for sure.
