[edit] What's going on here?

it says "In English, eroge are mistakenly called hentai games in keeping with the English slang definition of hentai. This is sometimes shortened to H game, which is also never used in Japan."

but "Hentai Games" redirects to this page...

Where would you rather it redirect to? Ashibaka tock 21:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
That contradicts the information concerning the terms "H geemu" and "erogee" in the Japanese article. Also, according to the Japanese article the word is "erogee", not "eroge". The word "erogee" (エロゲー) makes more sense considering the usual rules for Japanese abbreviations.

[edit] Eroge wrongly lists Kanon as the first game to go anime

This is in fact contradicted by the previous paragraph's game, To Heart wich beat the eroge to anime conversion by several years. At least according to the articles linked too and also as can be clearly seen by anyone who has seen the anime in question.

I don't feel upto editing the page myself but thought this should be adressed.


I don't see any mention of them being the first game gone anime. In fact, neither is the first eroge to become an anime, off the top of my head I can name Dōkyūsei as being an eroge-to-anime conversion before To Heart. _dk 10:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

  • Oppose - Too specialized and actually a wide genre of its own, as far as I know. Should keep its own article MadMaxDog 09:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose per above. _dk 09:48, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Well-knownness

Is Well-knownness NPOV? How is well-knownness determined? There are some games that I and everyone I know kows about, but aren't listed in here. On the other hand, a few of the games listed I've not heard of, even though I am an avid eroge player. -Afker 05:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Hm... the obvious answer is WP:NOTE. I would argue that having the big list of games in this article doesn't really contribute much. Perhaps we should separate the English-translated games into a subcategory of Category:H games, and then get rid of this list (and some of the related lists). — PyTom 07:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Agree. With between 300~400 new eroge each year, "notability" is really hard to be NPOV about, unless you go by sales rankings done by Japanese Magazines or something. -Afker 07:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Link Request

I am the webmaster for The Virtual Sex Review and I would like to link my site here which I believe is quite relavent to the topic of Eroge. The url is www.thevirtualsexreview.com and the site focuses on reviewing interactive sex and erotic themed games including those in the genre of Eroge and Hentai. For example, there are reviews for Beauty 3D and Hentai 3D which are both Eroge games. Besides reviews, the site pulls in RSS feeds on the topic and features forums (although not many posts there yet).

I have seen other "sex game" review sites linked here or in other appropriate articles.

Thoughts and opinions?

The history part of the article contradicts itself, the kanon anime is from 2002, while the To Heart article lists its anime version as being from 1999. So either that article is wrong (it isn't as far as I know) or the conclusion is wrong.

To Heart is as far as I know the first ero-game to anime transition. I could edit it, but would first like to know the reasons for the original text, is the author basing the claim because To Heart doesn't count? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.80.196.236 (talk) 10:53, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
