5 of the all-time best hentai anime

It’s Friday afternoon, and as everyone knows, the best way to prepare for the weekend is to get yourself nice and relaxed. And the best way to get yourself nice and relaxed is to bust a fat nut to some of the best hentai anime out there.

Obviously tastes are entirely subjective, but so far as we’re concerned here at Rice Digital, these are five of the all-time best hentai anime. We’d love to hear your favourites too, though, so don’t be ashamed — share ’em down in the comments! No judgement here, you know that.

Note that it’s actually fairly difficult to find “legitimate” copies of these videos these days. Where possible, we’ll provide links to legitimate DVD or Blu-Ray sales — but otherwise you’re on your own. You’re a resourceful lot, though — I’m sure you’ll track down the things you’re particularly interested in.

And if you’re in the mood for something a little more interactive, don’t forget to check out the best hentai games on Steam — as classified by its users.

Bible Black

Where would any discussion of the best hentai anime be without Bible Black? First released as a visual novel by ActiveSoft in 2000, Bible Black has remained consistently popular among discerning hentai enthusiasts ever since — and with good reason. It strikes an excellent balance between hot (and often highly creative) sexual scenes with a genuinely interesting story.

Bible Black tells the story of academy student Taki Minase, who discovers the titular book while exploring the obligatory abandoned room in his school. After translating the book from its Latin-French origins, Minase discovers that the book provides instructions for dark magic — and he decides to make use of it for both his own benefit and to help his friend Ayumi. Things get a little complicated from there, shall we say.

There are actually several Bible Black anime series: the original adaptation, which featured six episodes based on scenes from the original game; a two-episode OVA prequel called Bible Black: Origins; a sequel series called Bible Black: New Testament, set ten years after the original; and another OVA based on “gaiden” side-stories called Bible Black Only. The original game was also localised into English in 2006.

Lovely x Cation

Lovely x Cation is another one of the best hentai anime that is based on a video game. First released in 2011 as an 18+ title for PC, then later receiving a non-hentai 17+ PlayStation Vita version in 2015, Lovely x Cation tells the story of a lonely protagonist and his attempts to find love at the behest of his concerned uncle.

The original video game is actually a fairly involved, lengthy affair with dating sim mechanics rather than simply being a visual novel. By contrast, the anime adaptation gets pretty much straight to the point, presenting a series of vignettes that each feature one of the main heroines, culminating in an explicit and immensely hot (albeit relatively vanilla) sex scene.

Lovely x Cation is worth a watch for its art and animation if nothing else; it really stands out among the best hentai anime just for how good it looks. The sex scenes are presented from a variety of perspectives — including plenty of POV shots for those who like to feel involved in the action — and the girls are absolutely beautiful.

If you enjoy this one, also check out its companion piece Pretty x Cation, which also began life as a video game — this time only in 18+ form for PC. Sadly, none of the games have been officially localised, and the anime adaptations haven’t had an official English release either.

Fella Pure: Mitarashi-san Chi no Jijou

I’m including this one primarily because any time I ask people on Twitter what their own personal best hentai anime is, this one pretty much always comes up at least once. This is a fairly straight-to-the-point, heavily fetishistic anime that focuses exclusively on oral sex and incest.

The concept is that main heroine Keiko puts across the impression of being a perfect, prim and proper student when she’s out in society — but when in private she has a complete fixation on fellatio. To that end, any time her parents are out she has a tendency to realise her fantasies by taking advantage of her younger brother, often with distinctly messy results.

As a fetish anime, Fella Pure features an almost extreme level of detail when it comes to its oral sex scenes, but this level of care and attention carries across to the overall look and feel of the anime as a whole. It’s got a very distinctive, highly saturated and colourful look about it, and you certainly won’t forget it in a hurry after seeing it for the first time. That might account for why it comes up so often when people are asked to consider their own personal best hentai anime of all time!

Once again, this one doesn’t have an official English release. For some reason it seems licensors are hesitant to localise a heavily fetishistic, incestuous hentai anime — although given its apparent strictly “unofficial” popularity online, I suspect anyone who did bring out a legitimate release of this could stand to make a mint.

Tsundere Inran Shojo Sukumi

A personal favourite of your Editor, Tsundere Inran Shojo Sukumi is one of the best hentai anime out there due to the fact it manages to strike a great balance between being varied and feeling consistent. By casting the same characters in a range of different sexual situations — some of which are grounded in reality and some of which are obviously intended to be imaginative fantasy — we start to feel an attachment to the characters involves over the course of the anime as a whole. So much so, in fact, that its conclusion is actually surprisingly heartwarming. Not bad for a half-hour hentai anime that is mostly bonking.

Tsundere Inran Shojo Sukumi’s premise is the sort of simple nonsense that you only get in hentai anime: the protagonist inadvertently walked into the girls’ locker room by mistake and stumbled upon the swimsuit-clad twintail tsundered Sukumi, who offers him a deal: fulfil her every sexual need every day and she won’t tell the rest of the school that he’s a perverted peeping tom.

What follows is an enjoyable mix of sexy situations, mostly involving Sukumi remaining clad in her iconic school swimsuit and stockings combo during the fun and games. If you enjoy hentai where the girl is very much in charge of proceedings, you’ll have a lot of fun with Tsundere Inran Shojo Sukumi. And this is one of the few you can actually get a legitimate Blu-Ray copy of, too — check out our friends at J-List.

Maki-chan to Nau

We conclude with another one of the best hentai anime that began its life as a video game — in this case a visual novel by Waffle. This one is enjoyable for many reasons, but for some the most noteworthy and pleasing aspect of it will be that the main heroine is distinctly curvy — noticeably so in comparison to many other hentai anime heroines. And this appears to be an aspect that has been deliberately played up in the anime compared to the original visual novel’s art.

The premise of Maki-chan to Nau is that the protagonist catches the titular heroine masturbating on her balcony one evening, and Maki, being an exhibitionist, nymphomaniac and masochist, jokes that our hero should blackmail her into becoming his sex slave. The pair kick off a relationship — with a little sister being added to proceedings in the latter half of the series — and plenty of sexual shenanigans ensue.

The early part of the series is relatively vanilla aside from a few brief fantasy sequences, while the latter half introduces some light kinky elements with bondage and mild BDSM. The original visual novel got two sequels which got a little more extreme with its sexual content, but these were not adapted into an anime; as it stands, the Maki-chan to Nau hentai anime will be perfectly palatable to people who don’t have the stomach for more challenging sexual content — and its focus on a heroine with a somewhat curvier body type than often seen in hentai anime is definitely a pleasing element.
