Bible Black

"Zazas zazas nasatanada zazas." Just like Christians have their Bible and Satanists have theirs, this series stands tall as the Bible for all "men of culture." So, if you're not a "man of culture," if scenes of a sexual nature in anime make you faint with anger, even the average ecchi and a hand on a breast, then I must say, I don't quite understand what the hell you're doing here! What did I enjoy about this series? Well, definitely the characters - their design and personalities. The plot, particularly in the first season, is intriguing, especially for someone who has played the original video game on which this is based. The series does a commendable job of capturing the atmosphere of the game. The sexual scenes here are also quite well-handled, numerous, and imaginative. There's likely something here for every "man of culture," though there are parts that might not sit right with everyone due to the various strange fetishes the Japanese are known for... Now, what are my gripes? Mainly, that no other series, including the New Testament, quite reaches the quality of the first season. If I had to break it down, we've got an 8/10 for the first season, 6/10 for Origins, 6/10 for New Testament, and 5.5/10 for Only. In conclusion? Black Bible was, like many other similarly themed series, a part of my youth (or when I was still 25...). It stands among the best of what I've seen from hentai, and surprisingly, time hasn't taken its toll on it yet. It's porn, it's explicit, it's ADULT entertainment! Criticizing porn for having a lot of sex is akin to shouting in the forest that there's too much wood... So, a 7/10 for all the seasons combined. (04.03.2024)
