{{nihongo|'''''Cream Lemon'''''|くりいむレモン or くりぃむレモン<!-- The official name uses a large "い" rather than a small "ぃ". -->|Kurīmu Remon}} is an early [[hentai]] series. The first ''Cream Lemon'' [[Original video animation|OVA]] was released in August 1984, though ''Cream Lemon'' was not the first hentai OVA. The first was ''[[Lolita Anime]]'', released earlier in February 1984. Patrick W. Galbraith writes that ''Cream Lemon'' "was by far the longest running and most influential" hentai series in the 1980s and "laid the foundation for pornographic animation in Japan".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Galbraith |first=Patrick W. |date=2023-03-06 |title=The ethics of imaginary violence, part 3: early animated pornography in Japan |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23268743.2023.2173280 |journal=Porn Studies |volume=10 |issue=3 |language=en |pages=268–282 |doi=10.1080/23268743.2023.2173280 |s2cid=257394192 |issn=2326-8743|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Related to ''Cream Lemon'' is the ''[[Project A-ko]]'' franchise, which was meant to be the third installment of ''Cream Lemon'' but changed during production to be a mainstream film. The only remaining indication is the bath scene with B-ko. Adult entertainment company Excalibur Films dubbed, edited, and released in English five ''Cream Lemon'' OVAs as parts two and three of their three-volume ''Brothers Grime X-Rated Cartoons'' series in 1987 and 1989. In 1987, Brazilian distributor Everest Video licensed the series and released much of it on VHS, in uncensored form.
