G-Spot Express Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary

Itazura The Animation (G-Spot Express), an iconic cult hentai, celebrates its 20th anniversary today!

Origin

The hentai is inspired on Itazura (いたずら～悪戯～), an eroge produced by INTERHEART and released on December 6, 1996.

Arms and Fortes released its first animated episode on May 25, 2004. With a total of two OVAs, the animated series ended on July 8, 2005.

Story

Katsuhiko is a master train pervert. He can pull off a feel, a grab, or even go all the way on a crowded train with girls he’s never met. One day he meets a sinister pickpocket named Gin, who provides him with the ultimate target. Katsuhiko moves in on the gorgeous TV anchorwoman with perfect skill, but will he be ready for Gin’s well-timed double cross?

Reception

The level of success that Itazura The Animation achieved in Japan is not clearly known, but one thing is certain: thanks to its English release, the series received an excellent reception abroad.

With its unique storyline and uncensored version, Itazura The Animation has earned a special place in the hearts of many fans, and is often considered one of the best chikan hentai of all time.

Trivia

The hentai was animated by Studio9MAiami and directed by Katsuma Kanazawa.
Itazura The Animation is part of a large eroge franchise developed by INTERHEART.
In the eroge Itazura 0 -Zero-, Honda Souichirou, the father of Honda Katsuhiko (the protagonist of Itazura The Animation), makes his first appearance.
Unlike the animated version, the original game’s story follows Takahashi Shunsuke, a pseudonym used by Honda Souichirou, a man whose life was destroyed after being falsely accused of sexual harassment by three women. Although his innocence was eventually proven and he was released, the damage had already been done. Consumed by resentment, he decides to take revenge on the women who ruined his life.
In 2005, the year Itazura The Animation premiered, Arms Studio was going through one of its worst periods due to low sales of its hentai productions. In particular, Hininden: Gauss performed so poorly that the production of its second OVA was canceled. This crisis led the studio to abandon the adult genre and shift its focus to producing mainstream anime.
On April 25, 2006, Kitty Media released G-Spot Express, an uncensored and English-dubbed version of Itazura The Animation. In addition to its English release, the title was also officially launched in Germany and the Netherlands.
Además de su versión inglesa, el hentai también fue lanzado en Alemania y en los Países Bajos.
Today, Itazura The Animation is considered a cult classic in the chikan genre. Despite the controversy surrounding its theme, many regard it as the best hentai of its kind, praised for its storytelling, unique atmosphere, and lasting impact on the community.
