Not all in Japanese... Some of the "A" series (A-1 thru A-4) series -- where Asuka is forced to become a sex slave in a bid to save Shinji's life, or some idiotic thing of the sort -- is translated, as was that full-color Ayanami one, where Rei goes on in monologue about how all of the boys at school do (or make her do) <insert>, and how she has to become a prostitute for whatever reason. They really are completely idiotic.
The funny thing about H-doujinshi is that almost none of it really has ANYthing to do with the character(s) being objectified. Most of them, you could insert a few dozen other 'Hot Anime Chicks' in their place and have to change absolutely nothing. Or, if more than one recognizable character is involved, simply replace everyone with characters with similar roles (i.e, main male protagonist, primary love interest, secondary love interest, etc.) from another anime, and, voila, another H-doujinshi is born. The sheer stupidity of them is alarming.
However, as I often remark, some of them actually manage to redeem themselves. Alarmingly few, but for whatever reason I am amused enough that I brave the H-doujin wastelands again and again. Until I have a source of income again and I can actually get doujinshi that aren't pr0n-oriented from Japan. (Sadly, non-pr0n doujin doesn't enjoy much distribution in fan circles, from what I can gather.)
Speaking of hentai... At an NGE image board Joeshie linked to earlier -- which is, regrettably, focused on NGE's two primary cash cows (moo!) -- I posted my Asu-Ka the Ever-Living image, just for a change of pace from pictures of Asuka being tied up and violated. Guess what? It was baleeted! I fail to see how it was more lacking in taste than 75% of the images there. Rant, rant, rant.
