If being seduced by his girlfriend’s sister Shizuku wasn’t bad enough, now she’s gone to another world in an effort to obtain an evil power to rule the earth! Using an ancient gate only she and her sister Kasumi can open, she’s going to give her body over to the demons on the other side in an effort to further her ambitions. Kasumi is not about to just let her acquire the power though, and she’s going to have to rally her friends and fellow protectors of the gate to help her stop her sister’s evil desires. Dragging Narifumi along for the ride, they’ll have to fight against demons and unearthly creatures in an effort to stop Shizuku thus begin a crazy rollercoaster …
Not all the girls are willing to participate in this adventure and jealousy towards Narifumi & Kasumi’s relationship may work against them in their struggles to save the world. They can only hope some people gain a little perspective before the battle is done.
{Let me take a deep breath}
It’s not the inherent quality of the story that’s the problem here, it just doesn’t go anywhere. So falls another title expectantly ending with a “to be continued” that will never be. As is often a problem with titles that are cut short, there isn’t sufficient time to flesh out the characters, their motives or the story elements. They do a valiant job with on setting up the background information behind the gate and the events that transpired around it, especially for a hentai title. This, however, just ends up as a waste of time since the series never goes anywhere with it. I would say they would have been better off just filling the whole thing with sex scenes, but unfortunately that’s the real weak link here.
Again the problem with this h-anime is that it just ends up with too many things working against it to be a truly enjoyable foray. The plot wasn’t bad; it just ends far short of where it was originally intended, whereas the sex scenes are not good enough for it to rest its laurels on in spite of that fact. There’s more promise with where the OVA could have gone, rather than where it ended up.
In conclusion Black Gate is another in a continuing line of Bible Black clones that could never measure up to their original.
If you do not value your precious time watch this. I assure you, you will be disappointed…
