Jiburiru The Devil Angel (魔界天使ジブリール, Makai Tenshi Jiburīru (Makai Tenshi Djibril)) is a hentai anime OVA series, composed of three four-episode series. It is based on the erotic video games (eroge) Makai Tenshi Djibril, Makai Tenshi Djibril —episode 2— and Makai Tenshi Djibril 3, which were created by Front Wing. The game series also won a Bishojyo Game Award as of September 5, 2008 as part of the best game series ever.[1] The first two games were rereleased in 2008 due to a problem with DirectX 10 and the video playback software, causing Frontwing to standardize all three games released that year with the same engine, which removed compatibility with Windows 98 and Me. Makai Tenshi Djibril 4, the beginning of a new saga based at a school seemingly founded by Luvriel for Devil Angels, was released on April 23, 2010, and used, for the first time, graphics displayed in native 576i HD.

For the 2011 game, instead of Jiburiru The Devil Angel 5, the game is called Jiburiru The Angel Of The Warring States (戦国天使ジブリール, Sengoku Tenshi Jiburīru (Sengoku Tenshi Djibril)), and features all six of the main characters from DJibril Episode 1 to 4 as if they are from the Sengoku period of Japan.

This series is created by Kuuchuu Yousai and produced by Noboru Yamaguchi.

Story (from the Anime DVD)

It all started when summer break began. Naoto Jinno (Jinno Naoto, also called Nao-kun, Naoko and Jino-kon) asked Rika Manabe (Manabe Rika) to go out with him and was trying to "propose" (declare) his love for to her in a park when a strange little boy called out to Rika. He declared he was a private in the army of Hell, "the great Asmodeus” (also called "Asumo" and "Asmo"). Naoto and Rika simply turned away and ignored him and continued their conversation. Naoto finally declared his love to Rika and asked her to be his girlfriend. Weeping for joy she accepted, but adamantly declined his suggestion that they have sex and they started to go to Naoto’s home. Being ignored by them incensed the little demon so he dispatched tentacle creatures after them which knocked Naoto down, grabbed Rika held her up in the air and started to sexually assault her and Asumo said that he will corrupt her soul. While Naoto could only watch helplessly on the ground as Rika was being assaulted a little girl named Luvriel (who they also called "Luv-co" and "luv-chan"), who said she was an angel "apprentice", came and saved them by battling Asumo. Luvriel was knocked unconscious in the battle so Naoto and Rika took her to Naoto’s house. After regaining consciousness Luvriel told them that the angels knew that the demons were "up to something" but didn’t know what so she was sent to their "realm" to investigate. She said that she was following their "scent" when she saw the "demon kid" attacking them and came to the rescue. She also informs them that he would return for another attack but because Luvriel had lost her fighting powers during the battle she needed someone else to become a "holy battle angel" to fight in her place. Naoto wanted to do it but Luvriel said that he could not do that job because all angels are girls. So Rika cheerfully volunteered since she was the one that they were attacking but they both were discomfited to learn that in order for her to become a holy battle angel she had to not only have Luvriel's halo but she also had to get "Amore" power by "making love" with someone she cared for. Naoto was the only one to do that job, so they both reluctantly agreed to have sex together. Asmodeus also lost his fighting power in the battle with Luvriel. He then found Meimi Otonashi (Otonashi Meimi, a classmate of Naoto's who had a huge crush on him), at her home. He happened to see her stagger away crying after spying on Naoto and Rika at the park as he asked her to go out with him. Taking advantage of her jealousy for his prey, Asmodeus turned Meimi into a demon and named her Misty May to help him attack and capture Rika. But, much to Asmo's dismay, she turned out to be an uncontrollably temperamental subordinate (she really put the mental in temperamental) and thought of him as her slave. Meanwhile, Luvriel had Naoto and Rika have sex together so that Rika could turn into "St. Djibril" (Jiburiru) to help her fight against Asmodeus. After Luvriel tells them of some of the different sex techniques that they would have to engage in for Rika to gain different battle powers (including a three-way) Rika becomes upset of the idea of doing it all (unlike Naoto) and has left the house and finds Asumo and Misty May attacking people in the park. (Most of their attacks are by sexual assault with sex-crazed tentacle creatures.) Naoto and Luvriel catch up with her and Naoto helps Rika turn into Jiburiru. During Jiburiru's first defensive battle Misty May becomes more of a handicap than a help because of her jealousy. In the next three DVD volumes it's try, try and try again for Asumo and Misty May as Naoto keeps not-so-selflessly "helping" Rika store-up Amore power with their "special training". In the third volume Asumo's superior, General Reirouge, tries to help him before his next attack by weakening Naoto by seducing him in his home while disguised as another character. But Asmo and Misty May wind up attacking Rika in another room while Reirouge is trying to wear Naoto out and she is no match for his sexual prowess and is unable to hold onto him when he takes off to help Rika after hearing her screams for help. In the last volume Reirouge takes matters into her own hands leading the next attack and takes Jiburiru to a special chamber she created for a demonic ceremony to turn Rika into a demon angel (but she spares Rika from despair by not telling her why). Does Reirouge succeed with her plan? After the first series ends, the story continues with "Jiburiru, the Second Coming" ("Book"s 1-4). New characters include Hikari Jinno (Jinno Hikari), Naoto's little sister (later on he calls her his sister-in-law and still later she becomes his step sister), who returned from studying overseas for a reason she keeps a secret from Naoto and turns out to be more perverted than Rika, and the new demon Miss Rococo, Asmo's sister (that is not mentioned in the anime movie), who seems to be a lesbian. Asmodeus and General Reirouge do not appear in the new series. Within the series, Rococo captures Meimi Otonashi with her tentacle creature the "Eternal (and frequently internal) Worm” and separates Misty May from her by having the worm “inject” it’s “special fluids” and Misty May attacks and captures Rika with Rococo's Eternal Worm. After the kidnapping, Naoto becomes upset that Rika was taken away. Similar to Rika's fate in the first series, Luvriel needs Hikari to become another Jiburiru. However, for this to occur, Naoto must have sex with his step sister. Initially, Naoto is shocked and angered at Luvriel for insisting on such an incestuous-like act and refuses, but soon changes his mind when Hikari offers herself to him in order to save Rika. (Hikari has returned from overseas because she loves [and lusts for] Naoto anyway.) Sometime after they have sex they go to see Meimi at the hospital and after they leave her Luvriel shows up and tells them that the demons were attacking her. When they return sister Hikari transforms into DJibril (Jiburiru) Aries for her first battle... including against Dark DJibril, who Rococo transformed Jiburiru into by perverting her through forced sex with her Eternal Worm and herself (including with a clitoris that she transforms into a penis [In a later "book" episode she makes Jiburiru’s clitoris temporarily transform into one also]). Warning!!! The second DVD chapter of “The Second Coming” contains an explicit sex scene with a character that clearly appears to be a lolicon (little child) type character which makes it illegal in some countries and/or states, regions or localities to possess or view whether the character is stated to be or otherwise represented as being of legal age of consent. Therefore it is extremely advisable to check all of the “child porn” laws in the country or countries and other local areas where you live or visit if you possess, intend to obtain or otherwise intend to view it. In the next movie volumes (which are only available in Japanese and with Japanese mosaic style censorship), our heroes’ peace is short-lived, with a strange new photography student taking pornographic pictures of some of the students, something connected to the return of Misty May. When a more powerful monster than they've ever faced before attacks them, Hikari is abducted, and a new angel in the form of a blue-haired virtual girl- in fact a computer program named Nagi (or N.A.G.I. - New Angelic Gaia Interface, who is renamed Nagi Jinno) is activated and dropped down to Earth (and falls into Naoto's bath- while he's in it) to help. She apparently is only activated when the risk is too high for a normal angel or human battle-angel to be sent into the field. Once the major danger has passed, she is recruited to help with the main mission, after some kind of strange spell is being cast on Rika and Hikari. Can Nagi rescue Hikari... or is it too late already?

Devil Angels

A major plot point of each of the three games is the transformation of the female lead into one of the Devil Angels, under the title of DJibril, with later games, and the associated anime including the sub-plot of cleansing a former lead character. This is done using a halo, normally supplied by Loveriel, but alternative transformation methods do appear in the various games.

The form of a Devil Angel differs with the person, with each having both an angelic aspect and a demonic aspect, depending on how they gain the power to transform. These usually are signified by a change in hair color, with angelic Djibrils, all having hair that is some shade of light blue, and transformation into a leotard-style outfit. The only exclusion to this is the New Angelic Gaia Interface, which only has the change being that Nagi is changed into a leotard. In Makai Tenshi Djibril 4, however, this is changed completely to a form of jumpsuit, with hair colors not changing. In the games, the dark aspect is indicated by the colors of their uniforms changing to red and black, as well as changing their eye color, as well as other additions dependent on the level of corruption. Later games used the specific title Djibril for them so they wouldn't be confused with the historical angel Gabriel.

Known Devil Angels include -

Rika Manabe (Djibril)
The first of the three Devil Angels, as well as the only one not related, by blood or choice, to Naoto. She is Loveriel's replacement in the first game, due to a mutually assured destruction strategy going wrong. She was captured in the second game by a giant worm creature, and over the course of the game, put through a perverse version of her training in the first game, and in the third game, she was weakened by the use of a spell cast through the corrupted hand of Dark Aries.
Hikari Jinno (Djibril Aries/Dark Aries)
The second of the three Devil Angels, Aries was recruited to replace Rika when she is defeated in battle and taken as spoils. She also spends most of the third game in a second, corrupted, persona of Dark Aries, which has a unique power to control minds. She is stronger willed than Rika, managing to break the controlling influence of Misty May in the third game multiple times, and, at least in the anime, summoning her own 'Super Nova' style attack despite being almost completely controlled.
New Angelic Gaia Interface (Djibril Zero)
Djibril Zero is a last-resort Djibril, in that a N.A.G.I. has the capability to regenerate damage, and even incapacitation, within reason, can be recovered from as long as the interface can be restarted properly. She has only been used once in this capacity, during the third game, when Jibril Aries is abducted, and used to further incapacitate the original Djibril.
Meimi Otonashi (Misty Mei)
While not a Devil Angel in the sense that she was recruited by Asmo originally, Misty Mei does gain power in the same ways as all three Djibrils. Numerous attempts have been made to befriend Misty Mei, but she is never able to achieve her actual Djibril appearance or identity, appearing, in all three original games, as a gothic lolita with black bat wings. Notably, She was pivotal in some cases to the capture and controlling of the first two Devil Angels.
Super X-32
A false angel created in the third game and anime, intended to be a counter for the Djibril series. Rather than having a human component, Super X-32 is a gynoid with several weapons and features intended to render the need for agents like Dark Aries and Misty Mei largely redundant. In the anime, she is considered to be Nagi's mirror duplicate, while in the games, she is only encountered once during NAGI's ending path.

Powers

"Amore" (Magical Energy): Transforms Rika, Hikari or Nagi into Djbril from having sex with a person of the opposite sex for whom they care for. Negative Amore, created by tentacle and/or demonic sex causes a Devil Angel to turn dark. Notably, Super X-32 can absorb and use positively-charged Amore according to the anime, making it clear the Amore is virtually identical, but processed differently by a Devil Angel, however it is made.

"Tenshi no Shiki" (Angelic Ceremony): By performing particular sex acts under the same conditions as when they accumulate Amore certain powers are stored up. Each power has two different forms: A Heaven Form and a Hell Form, which are achieved by a different act, but give the same effect. Despite the names of the forms, they do not visibly cause a Devil Angel to have a greater or lesser chance of turning Dark over time. These were phased out with later revisions of the Djibril transformation process.

"Cellular Regeneration": A unique power of Djibril Zero, She is able to regenerate battle damage like the loss of limbs without too much effort, but she is not able to avoid some forms of damage, due to limits in her programming. This also allows her to shape-shift parts of her body to create extra weapons to offset the loss of some human-type DJibrils.

"Angel Super Nova": A Super Form, used once when their main powers fail them, this powers them up, allowing them to break free of whatever danger they are in. It is empowered by the wishes of someone who they especially care about.

In Series 1, Djibril used this to break up the perverted Angelic Ceremony and allowed herself to destroy Rirouge.
In Series 2, Djibril Aries used a variant of the technique to both defeat Dark Djibril and to break free of the dark trance.

As far as can be told, Djibril Zero, Super X-32 and Misty Mei cannot use any version of this ability, the former due to being artificially created, the latter due to never appearing in any of the three games as an angel.

"Zero Cannon": An ability shown for Djibril Zero in the anime, it allows her to attack demons at more extreme ranges, by firing a beam of positively-charged Amore, with the side-effect that it cannot be used to defeat Devil Angels, including artificial ones like Super X-32.

Theme Songs

In the quadrilogy, the opening theme songs differ from one another. Game theme songs were later inserted in the anime series at the end of credits, when the episode ends, in lieu of title credits. These were supplemented in the latest two games by ending themes, with both games having their opening sequences released online well in advance of the game's release. In the original three games, The themes, where appropriate, are used in instrumental form as a leitmotif for each of the main female leads, and a remixed instrumental form is used as the menu theme for all four games. The Lyrics, Composer, and Vocals of the theme songs were written by the Japanese pop rock band, Funta (Under the name of U), with the help of the Anime J-Pop company, GWAVE.

Themes in Episode 1

  • Opening: Let's Go Lovely Henshin Time! (レッゴー ラヴリィ 変身タイム!, Retsugoravurii Tensei Akuchuarutaimu!)

Themes in Episode 2

  • Opening: Little My Star (少し私の星, Hoshi no Kinshou)

Themes in Episode 3

  • Opening: Kuru Kuru Lovely Day (クルクルlovely day)
  • Ending: To the End of Space in the Galaxy (銀河系の宇宙の果てまで, Gingakei no Uchuu no Hate Made)

Themes in Episode 4

  • Opening: the first the last
  • Ending: 新生時〜この恋ときみとあたし〜

Kuru Kuru Lovely Day was released as an audio CD as part of the promotional materials for Episode 3. Other themes include "Control Is Impossible", A fast tune used in the three games and two anime to indicate a comical or crazy moment, which seems, in a lot of cases, to involve directly Luvriel, becoming almost a leitmotif in itself.
