| No they're only sold as OVAs. Can't air porn on national TV And well let's just say there's a reason hentai doesn't have the best animation quality and stuff; they're generally pretty low budget productions exactly because there is much less money to be made from it since they can't reach out to a very big audience, nor is there as much opportunity for merchandising stuff like figures etcetera |

| Hentai doesn't really have a budget so all of them are low quality; I suppose the DVD's/footage cost quite a bit, but people buy it. It's not a lucrative business. |
| You can easily see that all the hentai titles on MAL are OVAs (maybe ONAs in some case). They do not air on TV. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| It would be funny if it did but i'd assume whoever ran it would be fired |
| Your next line is "I was just pretending to be retarded". |
Pullman said: that means that they were initally released as ova.. but there is still the possibility that some porn channel aired hentai after release (similar to how toomani aired flcl?)You can easily see that all the hentai titles on MAL are OVAs (maybe ONAs in some case). They do not air on TV. |

| You know how sometimes really ecchi anime are censored when they air on TV and then the uncensored versions are sold on DVD? Hentai would basically have to be 4Kids versions to air on TV, which takes the point out of them being hentai. Out of the 1,100 hentai on MAL: 2 are ONAs 19 are Specials 8 are Movies The rest are OVAs I think they rely on DVD sales. I doubt they make too much money, which is why they're usually low quality and the voice actors get paid by the word (moans can probably be used several times, so they could easily be getting ripped off). |

| Highly doubtful, though there may be some Japanese cable/satellite subscription channel for porn that could air them if it existed. They make their money off video sales/rentals, discs that are usually kept in their own adults-only section out of plain sight. They don't make all that much money and it's no surprise that it's rare for any of them to make it past 1 or 2 episodes...the longest one I've seen is Stringendo at 12 episodes and a couple of spinoffs (and I wish it was longer...). |

| DVD sales and rentals. Also, since many hentai are adaptations of Manga and Visual Novels, the hentai videos are probably used to advertise their Manga and games as well, so that may also add to the profit... |

| Japan is the king of censorship, why would you think they would let that slide? Edit: I was wrong, here's an anime hentai that was aired on TV: https://myanimelist.net/anime/23233/Shinmai_Maou_no_Testament |
| @sido "Aired" just means "released". It doesn't have to be "on the air", it just has to be published in some way. ReLIFE is a TV series but the "air" date is the day it was released an an ONA since that happened first. |
|
| ^that's just how the MAL profile pages are created wikipedia uses the better word for ovas, "Released" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boku_no_Pico because that's what ovas do.. get released as for promotion, that's quite the mystery... presumably tha internet + specalist stores yeah `-` |
|
No, they are aired in Art Museum because: |
| Didn't the guys who aired Yosuga no Sora get in some deep shit after? I think I recall hearing Koikishi PurelyβKiss aired on AT-X as well, with the sex scenes cut out. |

| NO they don't. I would assume it'd be in their best interest to have a channel for subscribers only with pay per view, but I doubt they have that in japan or wherever. A lot of hentai is based off visual novels/erotic manga, so people who were fans of those usually would buy the BD of the hentai that came out when It comes out. They're probably not making heaps on the lesser stuff but I'm sure they're making a living doing it. |
 |
| I've seen hentai on TV many years ago here in Spain, but they were banned after some time. I think that this happened because they don't approve of lolis. They were airing them after 00:00 though. |
 |
| @HaXXspetten why was my name mentioned and deleted onii-chan... |
| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |
| Highly doubt. Atleast here in the states cause I don't know how Japan or other countries operates with that stuff. They basically have to pull what 4kids does to even allow it on tv. Besides a majority are OVA so they most likely rely on DVD sales most likely |
 |
| After a quick google, did find that Koikishi Purely Kiss, as I mentioned above, aired on AT-X. http://otakomu.jp/archives/207364.html |
| Some hentai do get merchandising and figures though. I've seen figures from Bible Black and from Tony Taka hentai titles (but every character designed by Tony Taka seems to be getting a figure release). I'm sure there are some others, but it must still be quite uncommon. Most 18+ figures are original characters, there isn't even an Oni-Chichi figure that i know of. |
| Hentai have aired on TV outside of Japan. A hentai called Yaruki Manman aired on the Playboy Channel in 1991. A few months ago I was scrolling through the "Animation" category on my TV guide and found one title entitled "Award Winning Anime". I was expecting maybe a compilation of short films, but what I got was hentai. I think it was like on Penthouse/Hustler. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| If you got one of permium networks then probably |
| Haha I highly doubt that, they're most probably sold individually on DVD/Blu-ray or with their perspective manga volumes or doujin. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Kill la Kill is pretty much porn and they aired it in the states, So I figure they can air literally anything in japan. To the guys who say Hentai isn't "lucrative". You're wrong. It has a lower budget yes because it has a smaller audience, But it's not regular anime, so if you stop comparing it to regular anime, it's a fine business in it's own right. If it didn't make money nobody would make it. |
| I don't care. |

| Defiantly not on regular channels, there might be some subscription based Japanese cable/satellite channels that air it but they are usally sold as OVAs. |
| geez ive always wondered when it come tho this but at some point i did think that there could be channels that shows these during the night or maybe you can actually buy a specific channel with hentai anime or something |
