# Boku No Pico Boku no Pico is a 2006 hentai OVA series from Natural High studios that became infamous online as a troll anime recommendation. Since 2008, 4chan users and forum posters have suggested it to newcomers as a bait, spawning dramatic readings, reaction videos, and warning copypastas. ## Overview Boku no Pico is a hentai OVA series produced by Natural High studios that, thanks to its explicit and pedophilic content, got repurposed online as a bait recommendation aimed at anime newcomers[3]. The joke is simple and cruel: someone asks for a good anime, and a poster confidently suggests Boku no Pico, knowing exactly what the target is about to click on[1]. The bait works because the title sounds innocuous, almost cute, which lets the prank land before the victim realizes what the show actually contains[3]. Over the years the recommendation itself outgrew the OVA, turning into copypastas, dramatic readings, and reaction videos where the point is watching someone else discover Boku no Pico for the first time[1]. ## How It Spread On October 17th, 2008, a user named Young Buck posted a thread on the hip hop forum Boxden titled "DON'T WATCH AN ANIME CALLED BOKU NO PICO," a panicked warning post that ended up doing the opposite of warning people off[1]. The thread got picked up as a copypasta and inspired a dramatic reading recording that went viral on the Japanese video site Niconico, where it fueled parodies and MAD video remixes[4]. Reaction videos became their own subgenre of the meme. On April 27th, 2014, YouTuber DouchebagChocolat uploaded "Should you watch: Boku no Pico?" which racked up more than 800,000 views over the following seven years[3]. Similar reaction and warning videos filled YouTube through the 2010s, with creators either filming friends watching the OVA or performing shocked commentary themselves. A second wave of copypastas eventually appeared on 4chan's music board /mu/, this time treating episode two of the OVA with mock reverence rather than horror[3]. The meme's staying power comes from its self-perpetuating structure: every new anime fan who gets tricked into looking it up becomes a potential future troll. ## How to Use The classic use is a bait recommendation. Someone in an anime thread, Discord, or comment section asks for a show suggestion, and a poster replies with Boku no Pico in a straight, enthusiastic tone as if it were a normal recommendation[3]. Warning-format posts like the Young Buck copypasta invert the setup, pretending to caution readers away while giving them just enough curiosity to search the title themselves[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Boku No Pico?
