There are few masterpieces that leave their marks on people, especially in pornography. Who looks at a porno starring a pornstar and says "Good Lord and all his creations, this has transformed my soul and my knowledge of the world for the better?" None, probably. But I can say that without a doubt, this hentai has left its mark on me. Quite literally, in fact. The first time I encountered this hentai was when I was a mere 12 year old. Interesting art style for the time, unlike the typical Trigun-ish or Clannad-ish look that most hentais had. Now that's not to say I didn't enjoythem too. As I enjoy saying, hentai must be both an intellectual, physical, and philosophical experience. That is to say, both of your heads must enjoy it (if you catch my drift). Of course, there are some that don't fit all three criteria, or do them very poorly. I assure you, even those are hentai, they're a lesser form. Think of it this way, Belphegor in comparison to some lesser demon like an imp. Who would you rather have on your side? Obviously some demon general powerful. Same rule applies to hentai, the hentai that fulfills this trinity is king.
Where was I? Ah yes, the trinity. Anyway, before viewing this, I was naive. A simpleton, really. I had only watched a few hentais, and they were hard to come by in the early 2000s. This hentai begins quite normally, they all have sex with men, and... make them... jizz in a... cup? What? Interesting. My mind began to become unsettled and stir. This was something unexplicable, something... something insane. Something noteworthy. Anyway, long story short, the women that get stabbed with the men's reproductive organs instead get stabbed with a knife and sacrificed to Satan or Belphegor or something like that. Hentai is truly versatile. Because of these ritualistic, raping scenes, and somehow an actual coherent plot, I wouldn't classify this as a hentai, more something like an HBO or AMC television series.
Now at this point, she's sacrificed to some demon or devil or some higher power (or lower power, since Hell is...below... nevermind). My mind is blown at this point, much like the penii of several of the men. Did I mention that the men are different and that the hentai strays away from the typical 1 man fucks all cliche? It's really weird, typically it's like a buffet where the main character can fuck as many girls as he wants, how he wants, whenever he wants, whoever he wants, pretty much given divine powers over the hearts of women. If Yugioh were about the Heart of the Women instead of the Heart of the Cards, this would be the apt hentai adaptation.
What my 10 year old self didn't know, however, was that my mind was about to be blown again. This girl walks over to this other girl and whips out a penis. What? That can't be a penis. It's obviously a fake or some type of magic strap on thing. But then she ejaculates all over the other girl and puts it back in her panties. Really, these guys should go pro in Counterstrike or something since they've blown my brains so many times.
If you've watched How I Met Your Mother, there's this one main character, or I suppose, the main character, who loves pretentiously quoting the first part of the Divine Comedy by Dante. I have no doubts that this hentai will be discussed in hentai discussions just as much as Dante's work is discussed in the next thousand years.

Bible Black is a Hentai that takes sex and violence to a whole new level. There's more psychosis, stabbing and dry ass fucking in here than an average anime watcher would be able to cope with for the remainder of their lives. Yet chillingly enough you don't even notice that because the story is clever in justifying every immorality by victimising the villains or otherwise coming up with some cool story only to have said villains aggressively invade someone's rectum in the very next scene. Very very clever. But let's not get ahead (get a head lol) of ourselves and start with the story. BibleBlack revolves around Taki Minase, surprisingly the protagonist AND antagonist of this Hentai. Seemingly your average high school dude with friends, a childhood crush and potentially a good future. At the start of the series Minase finds himself a magical book that bestows potent seductive powers to its user. Hardly any time passes and our seemingly average Hero starts casting his magic left and right, sliding in and out of multiple women like a fucking bishop in chess.
And that's when the psychotic plot just lets loose. It's not enough that we have plenty of neurotic characters like our "protagonist" or the chicks in the cast but also the themes here will seriously shake you up. Demons with retractable dicks, men getting turned on by women who just brutally stabbed them (although in all fairness any straight man has the ability to be guilty of this one) and more rape than you can shake a stick at.
But the story is genuinely intriguing. The origins of the magical book and the events that surround the place where Minase found it (The night of the walpulgis) is captivating and will make you want to see more. The whole cast will shift places going from villains to victims and vice versa multiple times having done some immoral shit at one point or another in the series, showing just how fragile human nature can be.
But then again this is a Hentai and you're probably not here for the story anyway and thinking "quit stallin' is the sex gud or no!?". Yeah it is. Very good.
In fact, even for 2001-2003 standards this Hentai is probably among the best when it comes to production quality AND sheer innovation. Most Hentai series will feature a 3 second animation (if you're optimistic) looped over a minute or so with slurping sounds that resemble someone speed eating a whole bowl of spaghetti carbonara. Well Bible Black offers high quality animation with constantly changing angles and realistic sound effects & voice acting.
But the quality isn't the only thing. The style itself is very appealing, the positions featured will make any connoisseur drool and the circumstances surrounding certain sex scenes here have the ability to induce arousal in rocks and starfish. They're good.
The enjoyment of this Hentai is something that will be highly relative to the watcher. If you're not into rape or anything remotely immoral you will still enjoy the general plot and the mystery that surrounds it but you'll be missing out on a huge chunk of this series, which is after all, sex based. If on the other hand you're a deviant of this sort of thing then have no fear friend. Close your doors, close your windows, hide yo kids and wife, tell the mail man to deliver the letters to your neighbour and have fun!
I myself enjoyed it for what it is. A tale of realistic human nature that is not afraid to venture deep into the rabbit hole... all while people get ass fucked by demons with retractable dicks.
9 points.
And for FUCKS sake it's not "Jesus Jesus Nester Jesus" but "Sazaz Sazaz Andatsan Sazaz". It's a Kabbalah incantation. Can some please fix those subs.

WATCH OUT! This review and rating is based on Hentai scale. Parental discretion is advised. 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!!
