Why are doujinshi so much better than hentai?
>>
Because you don't have to waste time establishing characters.
>>
>>135636590
Because is costs a lot less time and money to make a good doujin verses good hentai
>>
>>135636590
What exactly do you believe "doujinshi" and "hentai" mean?
>>
>>135637019
In terms of animated hentai. It just sucks in comparison.
>>
>>135636590
That shit is disgusting no matter how many times I see it.

Look retard-o let me help you

doujinshi - fanmade manga, often sexual in nature, often using pre-existing characters from other media

hentia - original, professionally made manga/anime with sexual content
>>
>>135637558
Hentai doesn't have to be original or professional.
>>
1. they aren't
2. that's not a doujinshi

Very few doujinshi have art comparable to professional manga. Those that do are often done by professional artists working under an assumed name, or by very, VERY talented hobbyists who take literally 6 months to complete their magnum opus for Comiket.

What? Arent dounjinshi and hentai too different thing that can be correlated?

What the fuck am I reading? These aren't even mutually exclusive. In fact they overlap most of the time.

OP, you're an idiot who should lurk more before posting on /a/.
>>
>>135637725
what the fuck are you even saying.
>>
>>135637840
Most doujinshi are hentai, so what's the point of making a direct comparison like saying one is better than the other? It's like saying "Why are basketball players so much better than tall people?
>>
>>135636590
because they don't have to draw thousands of frames
>>
/a/nons should just stop using terms they don't understand
>>
>>135636590
animation quality is shit 99.99% of the time in hentai. Doujins also allow you to use your imagination more by 'filling in the gaps'.
>>
>>135638032
We could just assume that OP is a dirty crossboarder and yell at a random board instead, anon. I'd personally blame /po/ or /3/.
>>
>>135637592
Most morons use hentai to ero-anime and doujninshi to refer to ero-manga. Anon was trying to distinguish between ero-manga and dj, but he did a bad job of it. Hentai is not even a term used in Japan so it's meaningless in this context.

Doujinshi are self-published works. End of story. They often are based off of other works, but this isn't always the case, and most dj popular in the West are ero, but this is also not a requirement. Touhou is popular because of its non-ero dj, for example.

Ero-manga are erotic manga. They run in magazines like normal manga, usually have longer stories and get released in tanks down the road. The majority of porn people consider dj are probably ero-manga, but for some reason the western fanbase seems to think that all ero-manga are dj.

The same reason manga is better than anime, faggot

Doujinshi means "self-published." A doujin manga is produced and distributed by "circles" which can be as small as one person or made up of a group of people. Some circles are based around a single artist, others have multiple artists. Their works are often parodies of existing franchises, but they also do original stories as well. Because of this, doujinshi have a strong connotation of being "fanfiction" of a sort, since there are countless circles dedicated to producing fan-manga for single franchises (i.e. many circles become known solely for producing, say, Touhou manga).

Explaining the terminology gets confusing because the terms are used differently in Japan and the west. In the west we use the term "hentai" as a noun or collective noun to refer to Japanese drawn/animated porn. Sometimes people use "ecchi" as a way to describe softcore porn. These are distinctions and terms that don't exist in Japan. Hentai is an adjective that means "perverted" in Japanese, it's not a category of art. In Japan they usually append "ero" in front of something to signify it is pornographic. E.G. "ero anime" or "ero manga".

By these terms, a great deal of doujinshi would be considered "ero manga" but not all ergo manga are self-published, some are professional works serialized in magazines. To the Japanese, the distinction between doujinshi and professional ero manga is trivial for the general public, it's only otaku and western obsessives who care. They are both "ero manga"
>>
>>135638388
This is a good diagram but to say doujinshi aren't commercial is misleading, since circles do sell their works to try and make some money off them. The key difference is that doujinshi are self-published ad aren't serialized in magazines.

>eating rotted pussy
>>
>>135636590
Because quantity begets quality.
>>
>>135638658
The Japanese usually make the distinction as 同人 vs 商業

The trouble with saying it's self-publishing is that a doujin circle can become a proper business operation (and stop being doujin) while still being self-published

>>135636590
They're not. I can't fap to still images.
