"Trashy" Anime

Guilty pleasures, cheesy, "so bad it's good"—call them anything you like, these anime will never win Anime of the Year awards or become uber-popular hits. But despite whatever flaws these "trashy" anime have, they have a certain amount of charm and appeal that makes us want to watch more of them!

Yaoithon Late-Night Watch-Along 

Think Rocky Horror Picture Show mayhem, but while watching classic yaoi titles such as Boku No Sexual Harassment, Okane Ga Nai, and Wolves of the Blue Moon. Let’s make this into the best-watching party! Warning: This screening contains Corn.

Be advised: These shows are not suitable for a younger audience and are rated 18+.**

Hentai Pleasures

Is love what you want to see? People going a step further than handholding? Animated eroticism is at its best when it’s rated for adults. Pure and untainted vanilla screenings—the most you’re going to see is Light Bondage.

Be advised: These shows are not suitable for a younger audience and are rated 18+.**

Alternative Hentai

Want to challenge yourself? This is where things go full throttle on unhinged. Non-consensual, heavy bondage, NTR, guro, futanari, sometimes everything at once. Most of what’s going to be shown here is going to raise the question, “Why would someone make this?” If you stay for the first hour, you get the bragging rights that “You survived”.

Be advised: These shows are not suitable for a younger audience and are rated 18+.**
