Pigeon Blood

The art wasn't bad, considering it's time (and the fact that most - if not all - hentai has particularly bad animation), however, the story was utterly tactless. Not to mention Episode 2 is quite... well, if you decide to ignore me, and go ahead and watch it, don't watch it at night.

All in all, it either made you laugh (but not in a good way), or cry (definitely not in a good way), and you could have spent your time doing something much more productive.

Give it a miss, for your own sanity...

Pigeon Blood is an anime based on the game by Abogado Powers. It starts off with a man, the main character, remembering the period of time of about six months ago, and claiming he knows everything now; unfortunately, this is the beginning of a plot thread that is left dangling, one that was not left hanging down in the original game.

Events in the past start when, watching a slave's training, the main 'hero' (Chris) sees a girl, which gives him a headache. Later, when the slave is brought back to the house, the girl he saw has come with, and begs for a place, willing to do anything.

This begins the story, which, while in the game actually led to some drama and development, the anime OAV seems to just use as an excuse for kinky sex. The animation, given the time frame, should have been better (Pigeon Blood the game came out in, what, 2002?), but looks like it was made in the 90s. There is even an instance of a missing cel.

Plusses come in the fact that the anime has a decent sound setup. Creepy music, building sounds and effects, random noises; all these build up the drama that SHOULD be inherent in the story. The story should have been a plus as well, but where the game holds fast to it, the anime chooses to go the route of a gangbang.

Negatives come in the fact that the overall story feels incomplete. It is like they could have told the story in 2 chapters, but didn't, planning a longer arc that they never got a chance to complete.

All, in all, avoid it if you can't enjoy the remaining psychological elements that managed to exist in the transit between game and anime. read more
