STORY
The show opens with a satanic ritual. A group of shady people sacrifice a woman named Reika Katami in the ritual, in order to contact the devil. After that creep show, we cut to a scene of a high school.
We are introduced to two friends, Taki Minase and Kurumi Imari. As Minase leaves class, we see Reika Katami. She’s alive! She is trying to seduce a female student into naughty lesbian fun times. The girl refuses her advances, but Reika grabs her and forcefully lands a passionate kiss on her lips. She whispers an incantation in the girl’s ear that makes her madly horny. They get a private room and quickly undress, and Reika reveals her massive engorged penis. She fucks the girl in reverse cowgirl and cums inside of her.
The scene ends abruptly and transitions to another scene. The next scene is equally cut short in favor of another transition. The anime doesn’t stay in one scene for very long, which can be disorienting.
We see a girl named Rika confessing her love to Minase behind the school. Her confession isn’t the usual lovey dovey shit that normal school kids would share: Rika says she’s horny and wants to fuck right here, right now. Minase fingers her behind the school before plowing her pussy in the gym closet.
Next scene, Minase’s classmate, Ayumi Murai, requests that Minase enchants a love charm. Ayumi only wants a certain boy to like her, but the enchantment is more powerful than she thought! 10 minutes later, the couple have sex in the middle of the hallway in front of everyone!
The anime concludes with a scene of Minase and a girl named Saeki. Saeki is a hot long-haired blonde with good tits. She wants to learn Minase’s secret, how he’s able to turn girls into lustful little sex demons. The girl fingers herself while giving the guy a passionate blowjob to coax him to divulge his secret. While enjoying the woman’s hot tongue work, Minase reveals he’s in possession of an occult magic book named the Black Bible.
ANIMATION
Bible Black is an almost 20 years old anime. The style and animation technique are gorgeous but admittedly outdated. The animation is not very clean or modern looking, but thanks to the stellar character designs of the artist Seishoujo, it still looks good. The drawback of having such incredibly detailed character designs is that the character movements are very stiff sometimes. The art style is solid, and the animators keep it consistent between scenes. The animation quality actually goes up during sexual scenes, like they specifically allocated extra budget for those scenes. The somewhat grim color scheme and dramatic shadows capture the dark themes of the show. Almost all of the sex scenes take place in dark places, while the story scenes usually take place during the day in cheerful bright lighting.
Male students wear a basic school uniform, while the uniforms of the females have short skirts, leggings, and a cute blouse. The teachers are dressed in typical attire. What’s impressive about the visuals is how the emotions are conveyed through the characters’ eyes. A good example is the opening scene, where Reika is about to die. She grimaces before the blade runs through her, and you see the light.
The background art is consistently high quality, though most scenes take place indoors in plain-looking rooms that make for some very basic, even boring-looking backgrounds
SOUND EFFECTS AND VOICE ACTING (SFX)
The part that Bible Black excels at is the Japanese voice acting and background audio design. The demon summoning ritual even includes spoken Latin. Reika’s voice actress, Mishicu Shirozaki, speaks with a voice characterized by grit, determination, and guile. She’s one of the most distinguishable characters of the show. That isn’t to say the rest of the cast doesn’t sell their roles. All the girls and guys have distinct voices.
The most memorable highlight of the show must be the moment at runtime 1:37, when Reika is sacrificed. A sword is run through her body. The actress screams in a realistic fashion, like she was really stabbed to death in her recording booth.
Overall, the show features phenomenal voice acting and sound that are so arousing, you’ll but a nut before even realizing. High-quality audio clips are scattered across the episode, like Rika moaning for more cock, or when the girls howl orgasmic screams while their characters are getting off. Bible Black is a feast for your ears.
MUSIC
The first episode of the OVA is littered with musical numbers. The episode opens on a superb dramatic number that begins with bells tolling. As the bells quiet down, the ominous beats get progressively louder and louder until mixing with chants of spoken Latin. It’s very foreboding, and I believe it’s what makes this sereis so exciting: The series builds upon a sense of impending doom, which makes the increasingly perverted sex scenes feel like a ride to hell.
HENTAI
Bible Black makes a dark promise at the beginning of the show: It’s going to be a ride into a world of occult black magic. You’re in for sexy rituals, sex magic, hot girls getting banged out of their minds. There’s no stops on a train that starts with a sex scene of two girls, one of which rocks a massive dick. It’s a dark, ominous scene that features a woman you just saw die in a dark blood ritual. Just like the girl succumbs to the pleasures that Reika provides her body, the viewer is enticed to abandon all their inhibitions. The scenes only escalate from there.
Every romantic trope you associate with a school setting, like a girl confessing to a boy, turns into public sex shows and backroom creampie sex sessions. The anime indulges in depravity. The focus is the sex and the glory of a sexual climax.
The relationship dynamics are whacked as hell. The normal seduction process is brutalized, and instead you see characters employ spells and rituals to realize their sexual desires with their partners of choice. The relationships are mired in manipulation and tactics of coercion, as if nobody in this world can get laid without paranormal assistance. Forget dancing, forget buying her a drink while sharing intimate details of your life in a social gathering, these girls want to get fucked hard in every hole by demons and warlocks while partaking in unholy satanic rituals!
CONCLUDING WORDS
Bible Black is a hentai classic that features artwork from the top-tier Japanese artist, Seishoujo. Every hentai fan should at least be familiar with this pivotal pornographic animation, to appreciate its impact on the masturbation habits of the Japanese, and its effects on anime culture. The animation is good but the audio takes the cake. The first episode is a strong start for the series, and I highly recommend.
You can watch this anime on several shady streaming sites, ie. hanime.tv.
