what dose hentai mean???

Answer 1

In colloquial situations it often means "perverted" and is subsequently used in many other countries to refer to anime, manga, and computer games with explicit sexual or pornographic content

Answer 2

Well according to the dictionary, simply "hentai" when written in hiragana (Japanese have 3 writing system, hiragana being most elemental, basic) will be referred to 3 separate definitions and words

1. Hentai 変態=transformation of an object or status, status of being transformed.

2. Hentai 変体=physical deformation, or status of deformed. Can also refer to exceptional readings of certain kanji or phrases, to describe a status of deformation within grammatical aspects.

3. Hentai 編隊=formation typically made by aircrafts, but not limited to. The act of military team formulation.

Out of all these definitions, popularly, 'hentai' that is commonly familiarized with is derived from the definition #1. The meaning is shifting towards being abnormal, and deriving to those with abnormal sexual desires/perversions, not just limiting to what is referred to as "animated porn", hentai anime.

*Actually among Japanese, it's not too common to refer to pornographic animation/cartoon as hentai. Commonly they're called "Ero-anime" or "H(pronounced Ecchi)-anime". 'Hentai' when used in such context, actually means a category within the porno media, instead of describing the porno media itself. Hentai sections are commonly gruesome, or kinki/abnormal category in both animated and live-action media.

Answer 3

Hentai is jepanesse anime with a high pornographical content suggested for mature audiences only.

Answer 4

Yes it means a type of Japanese anime but really it is preversion or prevert! hen means change or strange and tai means shape.
body or like that. Those are the two chinese characters in which it is written. There is also a form of writing in Japanese called hentai (gana. I think) It is regular Japanese characters written in strange shapes. Oh! if what her name is right and that's how to write it I may have to revise my info above I don't how to put Japanese writing into this format and I would like to know.

Answer 5

Actually, the word 'hentai' just means 'pervert'. it is USED to indicate 'perverted' shows, which, yes, now includes anime porn. In American, hentai will mean the anime/manga, but in Japan it still just means pervert, as far as I know. For example, in InuYasha, Sango calls Miroku, the monk, "HENTAI" when he tries grab her butt.
