Even nostalgia aside, I think La Blue Girl, Night Shift Nurses, and Bible Black definitely belong among anime classics, even if they are hentai...

Now why I think that, well, first of all, popularity, while they may not be as known as before, from what I see those 3 for most part passed the test of time, and if you start talking about hentai, chances are that those will be mentioned as well.

...

But, even more than that, IMO, is the fact that those 3 titles revolve around 3 rather classic, and simple, but at the same time powerful topics about sex, and sexual fantasy.

La Blue Girl - demon slayer theme, but with slayer becoming the victim of demons

Night Shift Nurses - extremely known theme about sexuality in hospital, appeal of nurses, and human experiments

Bible Black - this one is arguably the most legendary hentai of all times, despite the fact that it doesn't adapt nearly as much content as there is in original eroge...

Main themes of Bible Black are occultism, black magic, and demon summoning used for one's own gain, among other sexual needs, but also vice versa.

I don't think I ever thought about it before, but it is possible that Bible Black was also inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer, more precisely the series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar which also revolved around young people delving into the occult.

I'm not sure if I ever saw any time, be it normal stuff, or hentai, being as focused on occultism as Bible Black.

Not sure if I should have added Taimanin Asagi, which is kinda similar to La Blue Girl, and also very recognizable, especially considering it was directed by Teruaki Murakami, who is known for aggresive and intesive scenes, and believable movements of camera...

Could be wrong, though.

Enjoy in thread.

I haven't watched bible black or night shift nurses "carefully" enough to really comment, but I think la blue girl and urotsukidoji are both widely considered classics? people talk about toshio maeda's manga more like they are eroguro i.e. erotica as opposed to mere 'hentai' or pornography. how one makes that distinction/whether it's worth making, I guess is debatable. In any case, to borrow the library of congress' standards, toshio maeda's series are certainly culturally, historically, or aesthetically (actually all 3) significant.

edit: I will say, every 90s/2000s hardcore weeb definitely knows and/or probably has jerked it to bible black and night shift nurses at one point most likely, possibly without even realizing it, so there may be a case there.

I don't know the other two, but I kinda agree with Bible Black. I never watched it but I know exactly what it is about, and I'm sure every anime fan that grew in the 2000s at least knows about it. It's a classic at least in the same way as Boku no Pico or Yosuga no Sora. The big three memes of anime eroticism that screams "WRONG WRONG WRONG" at everyone's head.

only watched a few episodes of NSN and it was a bit disgusting, not my type of hentai. calling them classics? I think they're just popular.

Fun fact: Some guys working on Tokyo Revengers also worked on Bible Black
I guess it's not just a coincidence

Haven't even heard of La Blue Girl until now, but I completely agree with the other two. They should go without saying.

Bible Black gets more mentions than Sailor Moon.

If Bible Black's not a classic, I don't know what is.

Nightshift Nurses is definitely in my personal hall of fame for being the only hentai to make me gag so far.

I'd probably put Kanashimi no Belladonna (Maybe the entire trilogy) and Urotsukidouji above Night Shift Nurses and La Blue girl in terms of classic status but Bible Black obviously at the top.

I haven't seen it but I think Blood Royale deserves a mention because it is directed by Akiyuki Shinbo

I agree and people who take pride in watching anime like:

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Chobits
Code Geass
Genshiken

Should also watch what the series you mentioned.

So apparently I'm not an anime fan which is a shame since I really like anime. And apparently I'm a twitter zoomer, even though I don't have a twitter account.

By the way, my comment was meant to be a pun, so "whoosh".

Bible Black already is a classic, I always see it referred to as the best hentai in existence and I see it brought up more often than stuff like Utena.

Don't think the other 2 are classics, sure people know and respect NSN but it's not even close to Bible Black, it's more in the same league as Euphoria, Rapeman or Master Piece.

Never even heard of la Blue Girl.

La Blue Girl and Urotsukidoji were basically the west's first exposure to hentai back in the 90s and are largely the reason that hentai in the west is still associated with demons and tentacle rape despite those not being all that prevalent in hentai.

If you were a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s and you heard about and searched for Japanese cartoon porn on the old internet, chances are La Blue Girl is what you came across.

La Blue Girl is a classic. It was one of the first titles I told my friend about when we were in late elementary school weebhood, blowing his mind with the existence of cartoon pornography. "Yeah, there's like tentacles and sex in this cartoon."

I hadn't even seen it, just seen a damn photo on a TV Tropes page and looked it up/knew the basic concept. Could talk a big game about hentai though.
