The Pink lemonade series is not a series of anyone such as 4kids, TokyoPop, and ect.? Is this something of your own creation, and will it be hitting the states any time soon?

You can buy his work here, so I'm guessing he is selling them himself.

Has information on the series of course. But 4Kids, I highly doubt they would take it. XD

It is an original creation of mine, yes.

I certainly would not entrust the distribution of Pink Lemonade to a company named "4Kids", as Ravinous pointed out. Indeed, I do not expect that upon its completion I would ever see it on TV. I would not want to see it edited. It's always been planned as an OVA series, direct to video.

Side note: when I say video, I mean "home video", i.e. anything that you play on your TV -- not specifically VHS tape or any other particular format. DVDs are video, too. It irritates me when ads say "video and DVD". What, the DVDs are audio-only?

Back to topic -- The Right Stuf is distributing my current DVD, and I'll of course submit any of my future DVD releases to them for distribution as well. So if they're up for it, you can expect Pink Lemonade DVDs from them as well as on my own site, as is the case with my first collection of shorts.

As for when you can expect to see it, all I can say is to continue watching the production diary on the PL site. You can see its exact progress there, with the chart. When all the numbers are blue, the short is complete. Being a personal project, it has to take a back seat to paying work, you understand.

Arigato, I am a baka. Well, at least I figured that out and I won't be tossing around the floor of the house thinking of this.
Heh, always thought anime corporations would make things like this. So when you mean H, the thing's gonna be 18+ right? Hahaha, I can't wait to add more room on my hentai video and manga closet.

[Shawn the Touched]

I believe the usual rating for US and Canada is 17+ for this sort of content. I imagine an R rating for it, if it were up to me. Others may disagree and say yes, 18+. I really ought to remove the use of the word "H" on the main page and replace it with something less ambiguous.

[Guest]

What does "H" mean again? is it soe foreign rating symbol or short for Hentai.

[Diana Artemis]

Yep, you're correct. "H" is short for Hentai.

[Wizard_of_Shnoz]

I thought Shawn said this wasn't suppposed to be a Hentai.

[Shawn the Touched]

I thought Shawn said this wasn't suppposed to be a Hentai.

It's exactly this sort of confusion that I want to avoid by no longer using Japanese terms to describe the content. My above rating of it stands, regardless of whatever H or hentai has come to mean in English usage.

[Diana Artemis]

I must admit, I got a little confused by that myself. I would have put "R" at least or a "15" BBFC rating on this personally. I was just explaining what a H rating meant to the guest, Wizard. Shawn, my apologies for the confusion. I had no intention of making PL sound like that!

[Wizard_of_Shnoz]

Actually the guest was me when I forgot to log in. Heck I don't even know exactly what Hentai is, from what I can deduce it's probably something I shouldn't see at this age......

[Diana Artemis]

Okay, Wizard. Sorry about that.

I hope this and the PM I sent you helped.

"Hentai" is a Japanese word meaning abnormal or perverted. English usage applies it to mean any animated sex, but Japanese usage refers to particularly kinky or hardcore content, either animated or live action. The meanings between languages are quite different and prone to misunderstanding. Therefore, I'm sticking to English from now on.

[Diana Artemis]

I explained vaguely what it was to Wizard via PM (pornographic anime), but I forgot the literal meaning (that it means "perverted") and had no idea that it also referred to live porn . Thanks for the back-up explanation Shawn - I hope our explanations cleared things, Wizard.

[Wizard_of_Shnoz]

well thanks for the clarification, i always suspected it ment that but was too embrassed to ask.
