Kinda wild to me that Fate, one of the biggest anime/video game/light novel/what have you franchises there is got its start as an eroge visual novel.
Meaning that there's like canon sex scenes with many of the now iconic characters.
And on the same note, Lyrical Nanoha started off as a spin-off for Triangle Heart, another eroge VN! Like, the third installment introduced a younger sister character (fortunately not placing her in any of the porn scenes), and then they took that character, cleaned up all the smut, turned her into a magical girl, and built a massive franchise around her!
That's weird. It's just weird.
