In the late 90s, early 00s, a porn company called Filmco opened an adult animation label called "Blue Animation".
These releases were all japanese eroanime (hentai anime for the noobs) from 80s and 90s , the funny thing is that they did neither bother putting subtitles, nor getting uncensored material. :...:
So you have just the raw japanese material as you would live in Japan...

Many of them are on VHS only and few exist on DVD. Most of the DVD releases can also be found on many Video On Demand (VOD) websites.

After extended research, I could get a comprehensive list of their releases, almost all of them are identified with their japanese counterparts. As you will see, many of them are Cream Lemon episodes, and even more have been found by me and/or redrooster and/or pinkslave and/or others. I'll put the american covers and the japanese equivalent if possible (especially when I could find the same cover illustration).

Ami's Climax (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #34: Ami Sorekara 3"


Bachelor Pad (VHS)

a.k.a. "Dokushin Apart Dokudamiso" (the series has three episodes, and the cover corresponds to episode 3, but who knows which one(s) is(are) really inside)


Beautiful Girls of Anime (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #3: SF Chou Jigen Rall"


Be My Honey (VHS & DVD)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #1: Be My Baby"
The DVD version contains also "The Sensualist"

Depraved and Happy (VHS)

a.k.a. "Ecchi de Happy Pin! Pin! Pin!"


Evil Eyes (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #38: Dark"


Hotel Love (VHS)

a.k.a. "Dakaretai Onna Kinyo-bi no Ecstacy" (back cover is from a completely unrelated title, Korogashi Ryota, maybe it is a bonus episode)


Idol Sex (VHS)

a.k.a. "Body Jack"


In The Midst of Sadness (VHS & DVD)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #33: Ami Sorekara 2"
The DVD version contains also "Cream Lemon #14: Narisu Scramble"


May's Hot Night (VHS)

a.k.a. "Little Mermaid series part 4: Shining May"


Pop Chasers (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #4: Pop Chaser"


I split the post in several parts to not have an enormous size...

following with part 2...

Schoolgirl Orgies (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #2: Escalation"

Seduce Me (VHS)

a.k.a. "U-Jin Brand" (also released officially in USA with the name "Tales of Seduction")


Sex Academy (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #14: Narisu Scramble" AND "The Sensualist"
The american cover contains a mixture of the two titles !!!


Sex Ed Teacher (VHS & DVD)

a.k.a. "Aoi Taiken 1"

The DVD contains also "Cream Lemon #30: Cherry Nayuutsu" (though the DVD back cover has screenshots from Cutie Lemon and 2 other Cream Lemon episodes...)

Sexual Paradise (VHS)

a.k.a. "1+2=Paradise" (2 episodes, cover is from episode 1)


The Story of Ami 1 (VHS & DVD)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #32: Ami Sorekara 1"

The DVD contains also "Fruits Version 1"

The Story of Ami 2 (VHS & DVD)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon Ami Soushuuhen: Ami Seishun Graffiti" (compilation of first three Ami episodes)

The episode is basically a merging of all 3 Ami episodes, plus narration in between each episode, but the idiots cut the video after the second narration (it was getting too long for their tastes?), so we don't have Ami III, at least on DVD. It has to be noted that the censorship is slightly different from the regular episodes releases.

The Story of Ami 3 (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #13: Ami III"


The Story of Ami 4 (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #5: Ami Again"


The Story of Ami 5 (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #35: Ami Sorekara 4"

Yes, the ordering of the Ami episodes is nonsense... part 3 coming...

Last batch of nonsense releases.

Story of Toh (VHS)

a.k.a. "Toh Moriyama Kessakusen" (a compilation of the three Cream Lemon episodes made by Toh Moriyama)



Super Virgin Groupies (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cream Lemon #8: Super Virgin"


The Secret of Teleclub (VHS & DVD)

a.k.a. "Teleclub no Himitsu" (2 episodes, cover is from episode 2)

The DVD could contain both episodes, but I think is it only episode 1.

Traveling Fantasies (VHS & DVD)

a.k.a. "Fruits Version 2" (or episode 1 ?)

The DVD contains also "Cream Lemon #30: Cherry Nayuutsu" (again !)

Virgin Road (VHS)

a.k.a. "Cutie Lemon 1: Virgin Road"
There are rumors of a DVD release.

Virgin Troopers (VHS)

a.k.a. "Aoi Taiken 2"


Watch me Sink my Putz (VHS)

a.k.a. "Beat Shot"


Wet Dreams (VHS)

a.k.a. "Momoko" (1989 vintage, 2 episodes, cover is from episode 2)


There are few other names where I couldn't find any US cover:

Summer Love Games (VHS), could be "Cream Lemon #22: Summer Wind"
Idol Sex (VHS), should be another Cream Lemon episode
Virgin Road (VHS), maybe it's not an anime at all

So as you can see the releases were completely chaotic. I based the VHS identification on the visual and/or the covers, so few things could be wrong. For the DVD I could see screenshot previews from the VOD websites, so it's pretty sure about the content.

I would not recommand to buy this stuff in principle, because it looks like "pirate" material, some stuff like U-Jin Brand or some of the "Brothers Grime" Cream Lemon episodes that shows up here are or have been licensed by other companies.

But still the japanese counterpart of some videos have yet to be found on P2P programs. These are:

Bachelor Pad
Hotel Love
Secret of Teleclub (for the second episode, if it's there)
Sex Ed Teacher
Story of Toh (for alternative censorship ?)
Virgin Troopers
Watch me Sink my Putz
Wet Dreams
Summer Love Games (if it's not what I think it is)

So if some american fellows have or can find anything about the "Blue Animation" release, I'll be pleased to get more info from them.:happy2:

Long time no see, heh ?

Thanks to Cyclograph, I could identify "Virgin Road" as Cutie Lemon 1: Virgin Road (wow what a coincidence). Big kudos for his scans of the VHS covers, plus the back cover of "Pop Chasers" (sic). There is still one unknown title, but I don't expect much from it...

I took this opportunity to reupload some pictures, which show how close are the japanese cover arts compared to the US versions.

I wonder if you happen to still have those images. I've been researching these sets recently and it would be awesome to know what they all looked like.
