I mean it obviously is genre of Anime, it has everything regular anime (voice actors, animators) has but the main theme of it is different

Does that mean I support it, no it doesn't

Anime is a medium and refers to anything animated from Japan. If it's animated and from the land of the rising sun it's probably anime, regardless of how many cocks you see...

Hentai is technically Anime if it is actually made in Japan but I wouldn't go as far as including multiple Hentai titles to my person list since it's not exactly a genre I actively subscribe to anymore. I am a married man in my 40's now.

Back before the year 2000 there were a lot of Anime titles released with extremely graphic sexual content that today we would just classify as "Hentai". But the difference is that there was a market back then for adult viewers who enjoyed a genre with extremely graphic sexual content that actually didn't neglect the need for adding a real plot or story other then just publishing animated porn for teens to jerk off to. Sometime after the year 2000, suddenly the Hentai genre went in the direction of exclusively being produced for the sole purpose of the instant sexual gratification for a horny demographic.

I certainly still keep myself aware of the modern Hentai genre but it just does not really appeal to me anymore. Especially since it's extremely rare to ever have a title these days made with a good enough story and plot for me to peak my interest.

Anime is Japanese animation.
Hentai is a subset of Japanese animation.
Therefore, hentai is anime.
r/anime are still retards as expected.

r/anime doesn't decide the rules of anime. Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan and Hentai obviously comes under anime.

The best way to explain this is, if you were to draw a venn diagram of anime, hentai would most definitely be included in it. You can't separate it completely from anime, just because of it's content. It's still animated and produced in Japan.

Technically, it's Japanese and animated, so yes. It is quite clear that something whose purpose is just to show sex scenes is a fundamentally different kind of thing to drama or comedy. But most people do not exclude anything with a meaningful story from the 'hentai' classification.

I mean they are wrong. Hentai is what the Japanese people would call an ero anime/manga (lit. perverted anime/manga) so hentai IS an anime or a manga.

That's like saying real porn isn't a 'filmed video'. Anime just describes the way in which something is brought to film (animation) and has no meaning in regards to the content.
I probably regret this post by now.

I think r/anime doesn't let it on their sub so they can keep it as a non-NSFW subs.

But anyway, yeah i consider hentai anime and will rate and review it as any other show.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Anime is hentai, at least, but definition. It doesn't describe the context, it just has to be animation made in japan (entirely). Which both anime and hentai is.

It's the same arguments people have with music videos and low budget shorts

I don't understand the logic in saying it's not. Saying it's not anime since it's porn is like saying Your Name isn't an anime because it's a movie, things aren't just going to be confined to being one thing and one thing only.

Like, if they were saying Hentai as a broad term isn't anime I could maybe understand that since Hentai includes Hentai manga and whatnot, but the reasoning that it's not anime because it's porn doesn't make sense if we're specifically talking about Hentai anime.

Hentai is a genre, so it's common sense, but uh "Duh!", uhm Yes?

Those that vote "No", clearly have no common sense.

The one's who are "unsure", don't change, don't fight, don't resist.
Stay the way you are, don't think or even worry about it.
