   	Well I found the series erotically sterile which may say something   
   about me but also about those who believe it to be sexual   
   objectifying.  People who are looking for erotic stimulation tend   
   to find it in the most innocuous stories and shows.  So the Hentai   
   is all in the mind of the prudes.   
      
   	Now I am over 60 years removed from teenage years when   
   anything would be erotically stimulating but I still think that people   
   will find nearly anything erotic especially if they feel it is   
   forbidden.  Those who are ashamed of the stimulation they feel will   
   blame the medium by which they were aroused.  You know that "Huckleberry   
   Finn" the Mark Twain novel was denounced in its time as obscene, I hope.
