Description

This article is from the misc anime FAQ, by nikkou with numerous contributions by others.

1.10. What do lemons and the letter 'H' have to do with anime?

Lemons are something you squeeze and the juice comes out...

They both refer to what is usually termed, 'adult' or 'mature' as in X-rated, NC-17 (does NC stand for 'No Clothes'? ;) Supposedly 'lemon' comes from the _Cream Lemon_ series and 'H' (ecchi) is from 'hentai', Japanese for 'perverted'. 'Hentai' is used much as 'Adult' is in the English-speaking world (and I do think the Japanese category is so much more apt ;).

1.11. "Is this seiyuu married?"

I don't know and I don't care, but you can find out more about the Japanese voice actors and actresses at the "Seiyuu Database": http://www.tcp.com/doi/seiyuu/seiyuu.html

and join the "Seiyuu Mailing List": http://www.win.ne.jp/doi-bin/ml-admin.pl?ML_NAME=seiyuu

Some more here, "Anime Hideaway": http://www.anime.usacomputers.net/~hideaway/

From Rob Kelk: The closest I know of to an English equivalent to Hitoshi Doi's seiyuu site is http://www.cyhaus.com/Camp/Jupiter/seiyuu.htm - be prepared to do a lot of digging, though...
