Bible Black is probably one of the most famous hentai anime out there on the market. Coming from a successful H-game franchise, the anime almost religiously follows the story of Satanic cult activity, sex, and high school life that is seen in the video games.
I have to say that I am reviewing Bible Black as a hentai--not as a regular anime. Hentai have their own criteria they follow, and they are so vastly different from a typical anime that it is not practical to review it in comparison to a mecha anime or a seinen anime, for example. So my ratings are all based on how good of a HENTAI is Bible Black.
The story is possibly one of the most intricate you'll ever see in a hentai. It has a point, believe it or not, and a careful plot with twists and turns that it follows. Bible Black follows the story of a young man who attends a high school where a book of dark magic spells is uncovered. With this book, his wildest dreams are fulfilled, but at a cost--evil has been unleashed, and it is coming after him. The story is definitely interesting, from the supernatural elements to the high school interactions of Minase and his classmates.
Art in this hentai truly impressed me. I was thinking I was going to see another botched, cheap-looking, rushed hentai with sub-par animation, but I was completely taken aback. Bible Black looks good. The characters all look distinct from one another, and the animation was pretty good too. The sex scenes in particular are animated well, and you can tell effort and energy and money was poured into making this a good-looking hentai. It certainly was refreshing to see sex scenes that didn't use the same clips over and over again to draw out the scene. Kudos to the animators.
The sound was also good. It had a lot of dark, creepy music, and it certainly needed a strong score to deal with the dark magic, Satanic scenes where there were some truly chilling moments.
Despite its impressive technical details, Bible Black's weakness falls on the characters. You can all claim that it's just a hentai and characterisations don't have to be good, but I have seen the rare few hentai that DO have good characters in them, so there isn't any excuse. Minase's probably the strongest character in the hentai, not because he's the guy who gets all the girls, no, but because he actually has some minute character development. He gets influenced by this evil book--his attitude changes, his outlook changes, and even the way he interacts with people changes. That to me is a decent attempt to make his character more intricate. However, the supporting characters were all pretty much flat. They were your typical bullies, best friend type, evil people, rapists and rape victims that you see in hentai. Some were interesting, and you may even sympathise or like some of the background characters, but they undergo very little deep character development.
This is (literally) one hell of an interesting and entertaining hentai. It will suck you in from the first episode right down to the deranged, sinister conclusion.
Bible Black had been a hentai that, to me, was the most controversial to be released given its religious themes and general content. I went into it hesitantly, wondering what sort of horrors awaited me, but curiously enough, what I found was a hentai with an involving storyline, decent characters and very good art.
Definitely a must-watch if you're a hentai fan. read more

What?! A hentai with a PLOT?! The world is coming to an end!!! Oh, no, we're just watching Bible Black.
The first time I heard of this anime, people spoke of it with hush-hush tones and said it was beyond words and they can't even begin to describe how devious and 'o_O' it was. So then I watched it and I was like, 'Wtf? Was that person a noob?' because Bible Black is actually not as incredible as it was made out to be, but it was actually quite decent.
I suspect it is a little racy because of the Satanic worship and some of the torture, but I have seen Nightshift Nurses, my friends, and I shall never be the same ever again. My poor fabulous brain...
So the story is good, the art is actually very good, the sound is so-so, the characters are bland. Really, they're all bitchy or assholes or victims--that's not a personality.
Bible Black is revolutionary. It's probably one of, if not, the most popular hentai franchise out there. And I must say, it actually stacks up there to compete with regular anime. It only remains unfabulous because of certain one or two things. But other than that, watch this, it's good. read more

AAAH! My second review. And about what? My absolutely favourite Hentai of all times! Yes, ladies and gentleman, mothers and daughters... if you'r not adult, then you better don't watch it, because this will cause an impact on you! YES! It is not a bird, not a plane it is BIBLE BLACK!
Oke, but now let's get serious:
STORY
The story is just awesome. How often do you see a HWP (Hentai with plot?) maybe a bit more often, the last time but how often do u see a HWP with an OUTSTANDING plot? Not so often, huh? You'r right! Bible Black has, in my oppinion, the best story a Hentai can get. It's easy to figure out how great and how much fun Bible Black is, when u see the first episodes and all the other seasons. This Hentai has got 16 episodes (if u add Origins, New Testament and Only.)
The story in "La noche de Walpurgis" is about Taki Minase, who found a book called "Bible Black". The black magic freak Saeki (later with some helping hands at her side) tries to get that book from Minase. Minase later joins with the school nurse Reika Kitami, who also joins Saeki, to perfrom a ritual, and the sacrifice seems to be Imari Kurumi, Minase's childhoodfriend.
It's very hard for me not to spoiler anything so i guess, i stop writing more about the story right now.
To score the story, i'll give it 10/10!
ART&SOUND
The art is... OUTSTANDING! The bodies of the characters all look simply stunning and amazing you just need to check out the spectacular artwork (of course only, if you'r 18 years or older, then you should do what i say :D.)
And if the art is awesome, then it's something like a "law" that the animations are also perfect and how perfect they actually are! Bible Black came out in 2001 and showed the other Hentais how the job should be done! Every scene is detailed and jus' awesome animated.
The sound is also great. For example, the voice of Hiroko Takashiro (my favourite by the way) is THE Futami, Nagisa who also dubbed Misako Amamiya from Taboo Charming mother. You really can't complain at the voices from the JAPANESE(!) version, because they all fit perfectly with the characters. But the english and specially the german is something you really shouldn't mention at this point.
So, Art&Sound: 10/10!
CHARACTER
DEEPNESS! That's all i can say. Bible Black is the Hentai with the best chraracter backgrounds. If u watch Bible Black how they relaesed it (means La noche de Walpurgis->Origins->New Testament->Only) then you'll see, what i mean. Minase may be one of the main characters, but when it comes down to Hiroko Takashiro and Reika Kitami, then you'll just get stunned! Also, when you see the "change" from Imari hmm or Kitami(?) in New Testament. And yes, i try not to spoil anything :)
The Soundtrack of Bible Black is also perfection. Bible Black has got a very dark atmosphere and the soundtrack fits perfectly with that. Some may say it's standart, but since i've got some Tracks from the "OST" on my MP3 Player, i say, that is is just like the rest: MAGNIFICENT!
Score: 10/10
OVERALL
I've played the game. I've watched Bible Black (currently i'm watching NT.) I've bought a figure of my favourite Hiroko Takashiro. I love Bible Black.
Bible Black is the perfect example of how a Hentai should be done. The story is not only "there" no, it has a very important part and is perfectly combined with the sex scenes. And why is Bible Black so outstanding? Read my review. But to be specific: The OST is awesome, the art and animation is the best you can imagine in the whole Hentai world, the atmosphere is surrounding you, while you watch it and when it comes down to the sex scenes, then Bible Black fills every needs. There is everything from Yuri to tentacles to schoolgirls, MILF's, Futa EVERYTHING!
So in my personal oppinon: Bible Black is my all time #1 in the Hentai and Anime category. There's nothing that can top Bible Black. That's the truth. And nothing but the truth.
Score: 11/10!! read more

Sorry for mistakes in translation.
Produced in 2001, consists of 6 episodes and animated by Studio Milky Animation Label, Bible Black, or simply BB, is considered by many a classic hentai anime. After all, when compared to most Hentais the market, it is quite different, as is really a story, but we must take into consideration that a "hentai" is and always will be a "hentai", ie the main focus is the sex.
Our story begins when Minase, a college student that has some affinity with occultism and witchcraft, is an old book of magic and discovers that their points may be true. He ends up being seduced by the power contained in this book, using thus the magic for their own benefit. But with time he will discover that it is not only interested in witchcraft and power in school. Another main character is a young and beautiful Imari, who studies childhood friend of the same class of Minase, is in love with him but never said, just being the new victim of this story.
There are about 20 years, some students of this school were mysteriously killed by a sect hidden, and never explained what really happened that day. It is just that crazy during that time still persuade the students, causing some practicing witchcraft.
Many of those around the couple eager to Mine a little power, and boat generated by unexpected events within the school they put the boy in a way no return. This attracts many enemies in our young apprentice magician.
And here we have introduced one of the most important and enigmatic characters of the series BB, Dr. Reika Kitami. She or he depends on how she is doing estripulias is a vicious person who is in search of a perfect body to continue his life. They were confused ... not connect, it is normal. As already explained, this anime is one of the few Hentais I know who tried to develop a story.
It is quite interesting to note how the characters were reused (in the series and eggs), and thus finish the story, as Miss Takeshiro Hiroko, a beautiful and gostosona teacher who becomes the target of hatred Dr Kitami. Hate? S not understand? You better watch Bible Black Gaiden to understand all the smallest details, because it serves as a prologue to the sequence of EW. And as I said in the "review" of BBGaiden, good guys and villains can switch roles, a sweet child can become a very bad, all depends on your point of view.
The quality of animation is impeccable for a hentai anime. The songs are directly related to the anime, dark and sung in different languages, the pronunciation of spells is strange, did not identify the language, but a connoisseur of hentai that is the least matter.
The party is sexually explicit, very strong scenes of sex and violence, witchcraft is shown as a way of achieving power and dominate people sexually, without any moral questions about those facts. To enjoy a good hentai, it is worth giving.
==============================================
Versão original
==============================================
Produzido em 2001, composto por 6 episódios e animado pelo Studio Milky Animation Label, Bible Black, ou simplesmente BB, é considerado por muitos um anime hentai clássico. Afinal, se comparado à maioria dos hentais do mercado, ele se difere bastante, pois possui realmente uma história, mas devemos levar em consideração que um ”hentai“ sempre é e será um ”hentai“, ou seja o foco principal é o sexo.
A nossa historia começa quando Minase, um estudante colegial que possui certa afinidade com ocultismo e bruxaria, encontra um velho livro de magias e descobre que as suas invocações podem ser verdadeiras. Ele acaba sendo seduzido pelo poder contido neste livro, usando, assim, essas magias para benefício próprio. Mas, com o tempo, ele vai descobrir que não é o único interessado em bruxaria e poder na escola. Outra personagem principal é a jovem e belíssima Imari, amiga de infância que estuda na mesma classe de Minase, é apaixonada por ele mas nunca se declarou, acaba sendo a nova vítima dessa história.
Há cerca de 20 anos, alguns alunos dessa mesma escola foram mortos misteriosamente por uma seita oculta, e nunca se esclareceu o que realmente ocorreu naquele dia. Sabe-se apenas que as loucuras ocorridas naquele tempo ainda persuadem os alunos, fazendo com que alguns pratiquem bruxaria.
Muitos dos que estão à volta do jovem Minase anseiam por um pouco de poder, e a boataria gerada por acontecimentos inesperados dentro da escola acabam colocando o rapaz num caminho sem volta. Essa situação atrai muitos inimigos ao nosso jovem aprendiz de bruxo.
E é aqui que introduzimos um dos mais importantes e enigmáticos personagens da série BB, a Dra. Kitami Reika. Ela ou ele, depende de como ela estiver fazendo suas estripulias, é uma pessoa rancorosa que esta na busca de um corpo perfeito para continuar sua vida. Ficaram confusos... liga não, é normal. Como já havia explicado, este anime é um dos poucos hentais que conheço que tentou desenvolver um história.
É bastante interessante notar como os personagens foram reaproveitados (na série e nos ovas) para, assim, finalizar a história, como a senhorita Takeshiro Hiroko, uma bela e gostosona professora que se torna alvo do ódio da Dra Kitami. Ódio? Não tá entendendo? É melhor assistir a Bible Black Gaiden para entender tudo nos mínimos detalhes, pois ele serve de prólogo para essa seqüência de OVAs. E como já afirmei na "review" de BBGaiden, mocinhos e bandidos podem trocar de papéis, uma doce criança pode se tornar uma pessoa muito má, tudo depende do seu ponto de vista.
A qualidade da animação é impecável para um anime hentai. As musicas são diretamente ligadas ao anime, sombrias e cantadas em idiomas diferentes, a pronúncia dos feitiços é estranha, não consegui identificar o idioma (“... um pouquinho frustrada por isso), mas para um apreciador de hentai isso é o que menos importa.
(OBS do Webmaster: De acordo com alguns e-mails recebidos por usuários do site, o idioma em questão é o hebraico, cuja identificação se torna dificultada neste anime em função do sistema fonético japonês, o qual dificulta sobremaneira a pronúncia correta das palavras em hebraico. Obrigado aos usuários Nilton Jr. e Ágatha Carcass pela informação.)
A parte sexual é explícita, cenas fortíssimas de sexo e violência, a bruxaria é mostrada como forma de conseguir poder e dominar as pessoas sexualmente, sem que haja qualquer questionamento moral sobre esses fatos. Para apreciadores de um bom hentai, vale a pena conferir.
