Would it be classified as a hentai if an anime showcased vaginas?

I'm not entirely sure on this account.

In my opinion, it would be classified as ecchi, but in every ecchi anime I've ever seen vaginas are censored.

I believe for it to be a hentai there has to involve productive sexual activity with at least one person. I may be wrong though.

What do you think? If it would be classified as ecchi, why are they never showcased in anime?

This topic probably sounds incredibly stupid, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Most ecchi are an inch away from being an hentai anyway. Hentai literally means "pervert". The genre develops it in a more hardcore way

Actually here on MAL it is the other way around. Sex scenes alone don't make an anime a hentai. For example 'Aki Sora' is only classified as ecchi. Only if an anime contains exposed and mosaic-censored genitalia it is classified as hentai. Even if the show itself focuses more on story than sexual content like for example 'A Kite'.

I always thought that vaginas were white blurs. Have I been lied to all this time?

You mean not shown at all? They're censored in modern hentai.

Why are so many ecchi series afraid of showing boobs then? I mean they really go a long way just to censor the nipples in some cases.

I'm dyyyyying, LOOL

But seriously, meh. Not that either one bothers me too much, but it seems like, for some strange reason, nudity is considered more offensive than brutal, unadulterated violence. The latter of which they accentuate and market, whereas in the former , they make an effort to censor.

This is 100% correct. Honestly, all it takes is a bit of research.

The world of manga is pretty different. I can think of quite a few non-H mangas that clearly depict dicks and cunts; To Love-Ru is one of them surprisingly.

No, is a movie called porn if it has a vagina? It's only when it's one of the main focuses of the anime. And most likely also has to do with explicit sex not just softcore ones.

No, there are actually some few old classic anime show children penises and vaginas and are not classified as hentai.

I think this depends on the level of detail, and mainly the nature of such nudity. You wouldn't normally see this in today's ecchi, there might be some ecchi classics I may not know though.
When detailed, but the nature is not sexual, it usually becomes "hentai with plot".

No. Hentai means porn. Is Perfect Blue porn? No. Also, ecchi mostly is risque shots and nearly nude scenes. They wont show vaginas.

There is an anime called Crayon shin-chan.
Shin-chan is a five year old and often shows his penis to his mom a lot and it is not classified as Hentai but is Ecchi.
I watched it as a kid but they censor those stuff so it was okay.

I don't remember Perfect Blue showing vagina..? It has been a long time since I've seen it though.. I remember it had a sex scene...

Anime often had bush in it...but it wouldn't show the vagina...like...it was just the bush. I don't think they could get away with showing anything more than that.

Vagina is pretty rare even in hentai, and its usually pretty badly drawn...at least when it comes to anime. Manga is a different story entirely.

Another Lady Innocent is the only uncensored hentai that i know of that's well drawn. I don't watch a whole lot of the genre, though, I've always been a fan of Satoshi Urushihara well before he even created Front Innocent. Dude was the master of boobs in my eyes. Plastic Little was a pretty shit anime, but it had a really good bath scene in it. His character designs are beautiful. I think most people knew of him from Legend of Lemnear. It was one of the 90s anime that would always show up in the previews/trailers of all the other anime. It had tits too, but it wasn't anything even remotely close to Plastic Little.

Anyways, I don't think there are any rules or guidelines for something to be considered hentai. Like, I would have considered Plastic Little hentai back in the 90s even though it didn't have any sex/penetration in it. It was better than any of the hentai I'd find on the internet. ...which really there wasn't much for a very long time. I think Front Innocent came out in 2004? but even still.. I'm not sure when exactly hentai in its animated form started to pick up..? I've never watched a whole lot of it, but I know there's a lot more animated hentai nowadays...like it blew up recently, but I'm not sure when or what the cause was exactly.

Like.. I remember La Blue Girl.. Bible Black, and Another Lady Innocent..oh and that Sailormoon/DBZ crossover that's super famous. and that was pretty much it...that I remember anyways... and then hentai haven became a thing, and there were suddenly thousands??

Maybe someone who knows more about it than me can tell me when and how hentai blew up in the 2000s. I'm guessing it just had to do with streaming services, mainly hentaihaven. RIP.

if sex is the focus then I would call it a hentai, if there's just a sex scene in the series then I wouldn't consider that hentai or ecchi.

Just look at a mature show like golgo 13, it has sex scenes but you wouldn't call that a hentai or ecchi show

Triage X, in the first episode they have 1, 2 maybe even 3 frames of the female anatomy, and it is not classified as any more than Ecchi.

I'd say yes. I remember hearing somewhere if any adult genitals are shown it'd be pornographic. Japan is okay with showing children genitals on normal tv for whatever reason.
