So the report is saying anime studios are turning to making hentai to make a buck? Um, where exactly is this happening, besides in the mind of Adrian Brown? Note that hentai shown was refered to as "soft porn" and that when those interviewed say “ecchi”, it is translated as “soft porn”. It's obvious what he's trying to do here.

Looking at the release schedule of anime to be released on DVD in Japan this month, less than 1 in 20 titles are hentai. Brown thought that the term "late night anime" referred to porn, rather than actual anime that was broadcast late at night and into the early hours.
Then we had the mention of "Rapelay". Seriously, what does a four year old game that's been out of print for about two years, have to do with the anime industry? It's not like hentai or rape fantasy are things which have just suddenly popped up due to the recent woes of the anime industry. They've been a part of Japanese pop culture (though on the fringes of it) for several decades now.
