Template:Nihongo is a four-part hentai anime series released in 1994 by Pink Pineapple in Japan. The series focuses on tentacle rape and S&M. It was adapted into a live-action series.[1] The animated series was released in North America by ADV Films under their SoftCel Pictures label. The genre is situated between sci-fi horror and the slasher film.[2]
Plot
During a rainy night in a thunderstorm, Professor Goda is digging under a large tree in the schoolyard of Siren Academy, a prestigious boarding school for girls. He breaks through a mysterious stone tablet and is attacked by a large tentacled monster and is suddenly infected. Later, students are attending the opening ceremony of the new school semester. After the ceremony ends, a group of five girls discover a goblin-looking creature in the background of one of their photos after getting the picture taken; they decide to throw away the picture due to its frightening appearance.
The scene then shifts to an underground basement in the school's church, where Professor Goda and The Director are raping a freshman student who is tied up and gagged. The Director is wearing black S&M bondage gear, while Goda is naked. Goda comments that he needs the extracts of younger women in order to provide food for an organism that he just discovered. The Director appears to be enjoying watching the torture and involves herself in the process by whipping the freshman with her riding crop until the freshman faints from shock.
The scene cuts to the dormitory where Sayaka and Atsuko are currently engaging in heavy fondling and passionate kissing in their dorm room, developing into a full sex scene until they are interrupted by a group of fellow students knocking at the door asking them to come to dinner. All the girls appear to be listless and uninterested in anything, including Atsuko's "impressions".
Yuko manages to wake them through her violin playing, but it is clear there is still something wrong. Professor Goda is in the church listening to the music when he is suddenly attacked by what appears to be a fairy, later revealed to be named Rom. The show then cuts to a montage of Sayaka and Atsuko's life at their new school where Atsuko proves to be an apt athlete in lacrosse, and is very popular with the other girls in the school to the disapproval of Sayaka, who wants Atsuko all for herself.

Second story
Production
Considered soft porn, Angel of Darkness' attempts to merge the magical girl anime formula with the tentacle rape hentai genre. This was done in order to circumvent stringent Japanese censorship laws at the time that did not allow the animation of the pubic region and identifiable genitalia. As such, hentai films began using monsters with phallic tentacles to "rape" women in films.[4]
Media
Anime
Angel of Darkness series was licensed by ADV Films and released under their Softcel label. All four episodes were released on VHS and DVD with subtitles only.
Live-action
Angel of Darkness was adapted into five live-action adult films and were released in English by Critical Mass Video.[5]
Reception
Template:Expand section Patrick Drazen regards Angel of Darkness as being an example of the use of "horror to express sexual anxiety", and as an example of Gothic fiction.[6] Chris Beveridge regards the hentai to be "neither the best nor the worst" that he had seen, but enjoyed the third episode over the last, as it was more plot-oriented.[7]
