Lolita Anime
Lolita Anime is a collection of adult original video animations produced by Wonder Kids. It contains many notable firsts, as the first erotic original video animation, depicting hentai scenes which include yuri, BDSM and lolicon characters. It ran from February 1984 to May 1985 and consisted of six episodes. An alternative name for this anime is Wonder Magazine Series and was based on a manga by Fumio Nakajima, which was serialized in the lolicon magazine Lemon People.
Production
Lolita Anime was planned and produced during the height of the "lolicon boom" in amateur Japanese animation, which was pioneered by figures such as Aki Uchiyama and Hideo Azuma. The script and designs of the first two episodes were based on Fumio Nakajima's manga. Sales for these first two episodes were not ideal, which led Wonder Kids to create Miu, a heroine who was more cartoony in appearance and subject to less sadistic treatment than the girls in prior episodes. A third installment by Nakajima was produced, but delayed in favour of Miu's debut episode. The installment was later added to the sixth and final episode.Not long after Lolita Animes initial episodes were released, more erotic OVAs went into production from other independent animators; as a result, Wonder Kids decided to end Lolita Anime series.
