[edit] H means ecchi?

Tohobbes (talk) 19:04, 22 August 2009 (UTC) I thought so to, but my girlfriend said that wasn't true, but she never said where their word "ecchi" came from, maybe she didn't know. Anyway, it could be misinformation so I think that fact should be removed from the article until it can be sourced. Anyone agree?

I marginally recall a trend phrase among 70's Japanese children saying "letch skectch, blah blah", and others saying "ecchi sketch, blah blah" to tease lechy boys by girls. The word "letch" was so unknown to Japanese. As for H as "ecchi", Japanese schools has always taught H as (pronounced /eɪtʃ/), thus there was no clear relation between H and "ecchi". I think TV shows started to use H to pronounce as "ecchi". Worldwidewaffle (talk) 20:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] What the heck?

Somebody's put HENTAI IS THE BEST FUCKING SHIT IN THE WORLD in the article! I'm going to change it, don't worry.

[edit] Images needed

Per WP:Not Censored, we could really use an image in this article. Aren't there any good artists out there willing to draw just *one* explicitly hentai image to post freely? :P Shrumster (talk) 19:23, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

The article doesn't require an explicit image for illustration, though. Yes, Wikipedia is not censored, but it also doesn't go out of its way to find explicit images to use to illustrate articles just for the sake of using an explicit image. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 20:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps, but it seems really odd that an article about a visual art form (albeit an explicit one) does not have at least one example. As an example, if we removed the pictures from Cubism, Surrealism, and Erotic art, would they be as good as articles as they are now? Perhaps a good middle ground would be an example that isn't particularily explicit or objectionable (e.g. softcore).Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 15:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Softcore hentai artwork = ecchi, which has an entire different wikipedia entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.210.53.228 (talk) 18:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Images are always helpful, even more so for visual art forms, as Surv1v411st stated. The trouble here is finding something that isn't copyrighted, which would be slightly difficult considering this type of thing is usually (if not always) created for commercial purposes. Other than that, there is absolutely no reason anyone should feel squeamish about posting an image to illustrate the topic. If you still need persuading, go ahead and check out WP:Not Censored and the article for Penis. Thanks, Aaron ► 22:44, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

This picture on Commons might be a good addition to the article. It appears to be free of copyright issues and isn't particularly explicit. Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 21:13, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't the image be original of an actual japanese artist? From that image's summary, it seems that the pic in question was made by a german user, which kinda defeats the point of illustrating artwork of japanese style/origin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.210.53.228 (talk) 18:20, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Removed the image for being German-made (and terrible quality). Hentai image used should definitely be of Japanese origin.--Remurmur (talk) 23:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New Category

Why not Paizuri? That's the commonly known form of hentai. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Master Dogma (talk • contribs) 13:45, 10 January 2009 (UTC) Master Dogma (talk) 13:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] where's the IPA?

With so much kanji and etymology littered all over this article, you'd think there'd be at least one IPA pronunciation listed... 76.67.110.24 (talk) 01:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
