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.

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. Being ignored by them incensed the little demon so he unleashed tentacle creatures to knock Naoto down and grab Rika in an attempt to kidnap her, saying that he will corrupt her soul. Because everyone was up in the air except Naoto he was in no position to help her but at that very moment, a girl named Luvriel (who they also called "Luv-co" and "luv-chan"), who said she was an angel "apprentice", came and saved them after battling Asumo with her "Angelic Wind Storm" against his "Devil Storm". Luvriel was knocked unconscious in the battle so Naoto and Rika took her to Naoto’s home. After regaining consciousness Luvriel told them that the angels knew that the demons were "up to something" and she was sent to their "realm" to investigate. She said that she was following the demon's "scent" when she saw him attacking them and came to the rescue. She also informs them that the devil would return for another attack but because Luvriel had lost her fighting power during the fight 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 cheerfuly volunteered 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 as he asked Rika 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 Rika becomes frightened of doing it all and runs out of the house and finds Asumo and Misty May attacking people in the park. (All of their attacks are by sexual assault with tentacle creatures.) Naoto and Luvriel catch up with her and Naoto throws Luvriel's halo to Rika’s head and she turned into Jiburiru. While her first defensive attack doesn't go well for her, Misty May literally blows (up) the attack anyway with her jealousy. In the next three 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" and in the third volume Asumo's superior, General Reirouge tries to help him before his next attack by weakening Naoto by seducing him, while disguised as another character, in his home. 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 including 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 and the new demon Miss Rococo, Asmo's sister (that is not mentioned in the anime movie), who seems to be a lesbian, appear in the new series, but Asmodeus and General Reirouge do not. Within the series, Rococo captures Meimi Otonashi with her tentacle creature the "Eternal (and frequently internal) Worm” and separates Misty May from her with the worm’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 gets Hikari to become a 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 to confess her love for Naoto anyway.) After they have sex, Luvriel transforms sister Hikari into DJibril (Jiburiru) Aries and fights the forces of evil... including Dark DJibril, who Rococo transformed Jiburiru into by forced sex with her Eternal Worm monster and herself- (including by transforming her clitoris into a penis. [In a later "book" episode she does the same to Jiburiru].) Does Jiburiru Aries defeat Misty May, Rococo and does Dark DJibril turn back into Rika? In the next movie volumes (which are only available in Japanese and with Japanese mosaic style censorship), this 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 Mei. When a more powerful monster than they've ever faced before attacks them, Hikari Jinno 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 sent (by falling 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?
Naoto Jinno (主人公 神野直人 Jinno Naoto?) A main protagonist of the series. Ever since he met Rika when they were children, he became great friends with her. Until that incident that Rika had, Naoto wants to spend some more time with Rika and wanted to have a nice relationship with her, until Asmo came along and started trying to kidnap her. When Luvriel was knocked out in a stalemate in the battle with him, Naoto and Rika take her to his home help her. As they realize that Luvriel was really an Angel, she told them the facts behind the incident and that she was too injured to continue fighting the demon boy. Rika wanted to be an Angel just like Luvriel, but it turns out that she has to have sex (and thus lose her virginity) to store up Amore power to become an angel, so she decided to lose her virginity to Naoto. Later in the second series, he becomes more caring than perverted than before. Ever since Rika was kidnapped, he felt emotional feelings in himself and has been saddened when Rika was kidnapped and missed her. In this series we are introduced to his little step-sister, Hikari. She usually gets jealous but is sweet to her brother since they had genetic sexual attraction to each other, which causes Hikari to worry. However, Naoto lets her sister help save Rika for him by becoming a Devil Angel by having sex with him and fights for his love. Rika Manabe (真辺リカ Manabe Rika?) A quiet and sweet student who has been a friend of Naoto since childhood. During her childhood, Naoto doesn't seem to be getting along with Rika pretty well back then, but when he got close to her, they were really close friends. As she accepts to be his girlfriend, she cried of joy. After hearing from Luvriel about the battles between the angels and the demons but that Luvriel was too injured to fight, Naoto wants to join in the fight. Unfortunately, for Naoto, angels are supposed to be girls, so Rika accepts to be a part of the army. But when Luvriel told Rika that she has to have sex to acquire Amore power, she felt shocked and worried. She was later kidnapped at the beginning of the second anime (Jiburiru The Second Coming Book 1) an is transformed into a darker form of herself by the new demon character Miss Rococo.
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 -
"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.
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.
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.
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.
