Hardy Har Har. Will that stereotype ever cease?

Shhh! We must not speak of Hentai on a children's forum.

Isn't all anime/manga somewhat arousing?

Some more than others.

Listen: the majority of media panders to humans in such a way, some more than others.

EDIT: Upon further thinking, however, many late-night shows intentionally invoke this impression, some even making fun of themselves for doing it. You probably know what I'm talking about by this point: fanservice.

I'm not quite sure where you're going with those statements... I mean, I think I do; it's just that that seems so obvious that I think there's some sort of underlying point I can't grasp. So anime/manga frequently has arousing stuff in it because... people like that sort of thing? Duh. Japanese comic book artists aren't drawing girls with basketball-sized breasts because it enhances the plot (well, not that kind of "plot", at least).

I find the Gundam manga the most arousing.

Short Answer: No.

Medium answer: Some people wll try to convince you otherwise. Ignore them; they are idiots.

Longer answer: When I was about 16-17 I wanted to get some Mario game, I'm not sure which one (I forgot) and I asked for it and the clerk went "Aren't you too old for Mario?" I replied "Oh, I guess you're right" and walked out of the store, and bought the game from the store across the street instead.

Hey, I still watch superhero cartoons and Ninja Turtles, and I'm not ashamed. If you like it, there's no problem with enjoying it. Unless you still enjoy Barney or something. :P

I still like Care Bears. Well, not so much lately after their redesign last year-ish...

And now we're on the edge of discussing Barney hentai. Thanks a lot.

"Ernie & the Muppets Take It All Off is perhaps the only known ROM hack to date that has received a Cease and Desist Letter." enters for a last minute nomination, although is disqualified for not having any two particularly dissonant words.
