Pigeon Blood is an OVA series by AT-2, and it is quite frankly one of the most appalling hentai I have ever seen. I went into this knowing that it would probably be gruesome. I went into this knowing that it would probably be gross. I went into this knowing that it would probably be, at best, mediocre. Pigeon Blood was all those things, but I'm not mad about it. I'm just disappointed.
Pidgeon Blood does have a story, but I'll be damned if I understood any of it. The protagonist, from what I've gathered, is a guy named Chris.
...
He has amnesia, and runs some sort of sex-slave business and owns a mansion of depravity. However, while Chris is nominally in charge, his actions are being guided by henchwomen of the antagonist, Reginia. One of the sex slaves Chris comes into possession of is a woman named Rita, who causes him to have flashbacks to his past. All of this "plot" is largely concentrated in the first episode, and the second episode ultimately does very little to develop the story, outright leaving plot threads unresolved for what I can only assume was a sequel that never materialized. This renders the story, even if it was initially interesting, completely worthless.
The art is absolutely abominable. I'm not sure if there was an issue with the version I watched, but everything seemed blurry, especially during distance shots or when lighting techniques were used. The drawing is passible at best, particularly on the doctor and the driver. However, other characters like Chris and Rita are drawn terribly. The animation is generally much better, and it can be fluid when it wants to be. However, some scenes, especially from a distance, look comically lazy. The lip-synching is also abysmal. And I watched the Japanese version, so there is absolutely no excuse.
The sound, which I've almost never found problematic in anime, is some of the worst I've ever heard. The sound simply vanishes at certain points, and I have absolutely no idea why. Whoever was in charge of the SFX for this abomination really ought to be retroactively fired.
Overall, Pidgeon Blood is disgusting on every level. It has torture, scat, murder, horrific body modification, and plenty more. But worse than that, it's simply made like garbage. Nobody was pulling their a-game when they made this hunk of shit, and it's obvious from the very first frame. 1.5/10
Would I recommend Pidgeon Blood? Hell no!
