Story & Characters

It’s here in school that we’re introduced to our principle characters. Our male lead is Minase. Minase is the kind of high school boy whose dabbled a bit in the occult stuff but still comes off as a regular guy. Add in some good looks and you’ve got someone who a few girls will really lust after. And lust they do, particularly XXX. She lives next door to him and helps out there a lot, since she has such a crush on him. Minase though doesn’t seem to really think of her in that way and is usually noticing other girls.

One of his tricks that he performs early on is to take a simple paper doll and have a girl think of someone they want to fall in love with and then put their initial on the doll in their own blood. It’s a harmless little trick, but with Minase’s influence, it actually works. We see Murai do this over Asada, a boy she really likes. Later that day, we find that Murai came across Asada and his girlfriend in the hall, but he cast her aside quickly and then stripped Murai down on the spot and they both just kept going at it over and over until some students eventually broke them up. Minase’s powers are definitely ones that work, though you have to wonder how much is coming from this mysterious book that he has.

Minase also finds himself being pursued by the attractive Shiraki, who he manages to have some fun with at the school. And even later that day, Saeki, the somewhat mysterious fellow classmate, convinces him to come to her place. It’s here she finds out about his “Bible Black� and its powers, but to gain that knowledge, Minase has her perform various acts upon him. It’s through this that we learn that Saeki is starting up a magic club, something that hasn’t existed in the school for nearly twelve years. Not that you’ll get anyone to admit there used to be a magic club, as there are ominous things said about it.

Add in an attractive school doctor who seduces various girls looking for the right virgin for a great purpose and another teacher in the school who seems to sense that something bad is going on as well as a few other secondary characters here and there and you’ve got the main cast of the show. The second episode is where things start to build in terms of real plot, but that episode suffers from having the first several minutes be flashbacks of portions of the previous episode instead of actually moving forward.

There’s a lot of really good scenes throughout this show as well as some really gorgeous looking character designs. Media Blasters seems to have found a new source of hentai from “Milky Animation�. Their work on this and 9 O’Clock Woman have shown some gorgeous looking materials and I’m looking forward to seeing what else they’ve got in the pipeline. It’s unfortunate for this release though that the final two episodes weren’t included on this disc as most hentai buyers tend to buy complete and not serials and the simple fact that the next two haven’t even been announced yet, which means at least three months or more before the ending to this series can be seen.

Art

the uniqueness of the characters gave the story a twist.

Released in 2001, the transfer here is just gorgeous with its rich colors. Fleshtones are greatly layered. There’s very little in terms of jaggies during camera panning sequences and gain is non-existent. The only problem you’ll find is varying amounts of cross coloration throughout the two episodes here. It’ll be somewhat strong for a few second sin one scene and then disappear completely for the next.

The artwork for the cover is spot on and looks really good. Taking the traditional schoolgirl image and putting the mysticism symbols around her with the heavy focus on black creates a great picture. The back cover provides several animation shots of the female cast as well as a decent summary of the shows premise. Technical and production information also show up here while the insert shows the chapter listings on one side and boxart adverts on the opposite side.

Sound

For our primary viewing session, we listened to this disc in its original language of Japanese. Though it’s a very recent show, it follows the simple motto of almost all hentai shows and has just a basic stereo mix that’s pretty much all center channel based. Dialogue is nice and clear through and the music, which is fairly subtitle, is the main user of the left/right channels. We listened to the English track while writing the review and noted that the echo effect gave the overall effectivenes of the sound mix an echo tunnel but it can be adjusted ans tolerable since the h-movie is superb...!

Presentation

Bible Black is a rather interesting story. The show opens in a dark dank closed room where a group of women in dark robes are around a small altar, all of them chanting in unison. On the table lay a naked woman who doesn’t know what’s going on. The chanting intensifies and then the woman who seems to be leading the group takes a sword and begins to gut the one on the table. Screams and more chanting, and then we suddenly flash to a new scene, something that quickly feels like it’s taking place much later.bible black was graphical, and it did have a story, but the demon, evil, devil stuff has been done many times by such titles as urotsukidoji and TBH, bible black's story was quite lame, like a lot of hentais.
chracters were mostly 'normal' not very outstanding or anything, but 2-3 of them were brilliant.
Kinky is one word to sum up this hentai. Not wanting to get into the graphic details on the website (as most of it wouldn't be appropriate) I'll just say that this is one of the most graphic hentai series ive seen.
