Owned by Lilith, Taimanin Asagi is perhaps one of the very few Hentai out there that needs no introduction. No matter how little someone has watched Hentai films overall, there is a very good chance that they have heard the name Taimanin at least once before.
Asagi is one of the few iconic characters in the world of Hentai, right up with the big ones like Sexy Magical Girl Ai and La Blue Girl, just to name a few. What is common to these shows is that all of them tells a story about sexy girls fighting demons.
The face of Asagi has grown to be a symbol of sexy ninjas in tight skimpy outfits, though one could argue that La Blue Girl was doing that way before Asagi back in 1992. No matter, it is quite clear that Asagi won the title of ‘ultimate sexy ninja’ for both popularity, recognition, and having stayed relevant for all these years.
Taimanin Asagi is such a vast franchise today that a newcomer can have a somewhat hard time to figure out where to start with all of its spinoffs and games after having watched the main show. Having released its first episode back in 2007, the Taimanin series thrives strong even to this day with its ongoing 2020 release; Taimanin Asagi Toraware no Niku Ningyou.
Taimanin Asagi truly is a franchise one can get behind, fall in love with, and become a true fan of. Once done so, there are plenty of products made out of Taimanin like; figurines, dakimakura pillows, posters, and other items of this nature to collect which add more to the fan service. When starting your journey of becoming a fan, what better place to start than watching the very first episode!
Taimanin Asagi Story
Taimanin Asagi tells a story of a girl named Asagi Igawa, who is a member of an Anti-Demon Ninja organization known as Taimanin, funded by the Japanese government with an aim to fight against criminal organizations and companies created by an unholy alliance between men and demons.
Taimanins are secret ninja agents who work in the shadows, fighting demons and carrying out dangerous missions which require supernatural abilities that Taimanins are known for, thanks to their bloodline of demonbred children, in other words, Cambions.
Oboro, Asagi’s Archnemesis, who was believed to be dead by Asagi’s very blade has made a return and is after revenge for what our protagonist did to her. Oboro is about to deliver pain in the form of pleasure and show that she is not one to be fucked with. By targeting Asagi’s loved ones, she will set a trap to capture her and introduce Asagi to the infamous Chaos Arena.
The Chaos Arena acts as a familiar stage to most of the series’ lewd scenes, later known as Demon’s Arena. It is a place where Tokyo’s shadow and criminal society gathers to enjoy illegal death battles which often result in sexual punishment of the defeated one.
All this is Orchestrated by a shadow figure known as Edwin Black, a vampire who is introduced as the series’ true antagonist but never seems to get a fair chance to act as one due to lack of proper screen time. To know more about him, one has to look beyond the main series into the world of Taimanin visual novels and spinoffs.
Compared to Edwin, Oboro enjoys the luxury of screen time plenty over him, and by doing so, she ends up stealing the spotlight as the show’s main villain, especially when considering she holds a special hatred towards Asagi and the two share a bloody past together.
For such a big story like Taimanin Asagi, it is only natural that not all information is given to the viewer in the first episode, the world building is part of the series’ charm after all. As the story continues, the series will introduce some new characters from both sides of good and evil who will each become well-known in the ever-growing universe of Taimanin. If you enjoy sexy ninjas, there is no better place to enjoy them than here!
Taimanin Asagi Hentai
Taimanin Asagi’s Hentai is hardcore. It delivers plenty of different fetishes for those who are into things like BDSM, Tentacles, Monsters, Orcs, gangbangs, cum buckets, futanari, extreme face expressions (Ahegao), impregnation, and a lot more.
Orcs with huge cocks and tentacles with gut-twisting and belly-inflating motions often take the center stage in most of the series’ Hentai scenes. Later on, humans do not necessarily replace them, but they do become more present.
Taimanin Asagi’s Hentai is easy to recognize from its numerous close-up Ahegao shots. These twisted faces are what many most probably will remember the show by as the girls will not waste a second to show their lewd expressions when things start to heat up.
The animations are done quite well from the very start, but while the quality improves overtime, it does not necessarily show strong in the actual Hentai scenes which is a bit of a shame. Outlines get sharpened and shadows become more vivid, but the simplistic motions of the characters remain the same. This is nothing to take away from the experience, just something I would have naturally expected to see improve overtime for a series that has been in making for many years now.
Something to note about the animation is how Taimanin Asagi tends to use flashing lights and constant blur effects in many of its scenes. Never before have I felt like wanting to turn away from the screen as much as I did when trying to enjoy this show. Flashing lights have been pretty common place in old Animes before studios began to give concern towards epileptics, and while Taimanin definitely is not the only one guilty of this practice, it still relies on it a lot more than what is considered in good taste.
Despite these minor hiccups, overall, Taimanin Asagi delivers an excellent adult show to enjoy which only becomes more lewd with each new episode. Watching the journey of Asagi turning from an honorable ninja to Oboro’s personal sex slave is something worth to return to whenever having that special mood for some sexy ninjas, orcs, and tentacles!
Taimanin Asagi episodes
The main series consists of 3 Taiman Asagi seasons, with first one having 4 episodes, and second and third one with only 2 episodes. Though there are only 8 episodes in the main series, the Taimanin universe expands itself further through spinoffs like Taimanin Yukikaze and Hell Knight Ingrid.
- Taimanin Asagi 1 = 4 Episodes
- Taimanin Asagi 2 = 2 Episodes
- Taimanin Asagi 3 = 2 Episodes (Episode 1 & Episode 2)
- Taimanin Asagi DVD Box
- Taimanin Asagi Spinoff Story (Toraware no Niku Ningyou)
- Taimanin Yukikaze = 4 Episodes (Yukikaze 1 & Yukikaze 2 or DVD Box)
- Hell Knight Ingrid = 4 Episodes
In Hell Knight, just to give an example, we get to see the world from the perspective of a new character working under Edwin Black. These spinoffs work great to continue the Taimanin universe and they are just the kind of itch one needs after finishing the main show that ends on a mild cliffhanger.
Video games and visual novels also help expand the universe while bringing new characters and adding more to the events before and after the main series. Despite being a happy owner of the Premium collection box of 6 Taimanin Asagi visual novels, I must hold back and focus on the films.
Maybe one day I will get around to bring you information and reviews of the games, but just know that there are a lot of Taimanin games available for you to explore, some which are on mobile and even online based – Action Taimanin, just to name one example, though this one is not Hentai. What comes to their fun-factor and overall quality however, that is a story for another time…
Back to the films! There is a Taimanin Asagi: Bonus video which holds no story but simply gives a few minutes of Hentai to enjoy between random unknown male character and Asagi. It is an extra put on the Taimanin Asagi DVD Box.
In this short Hentai, Asagi and Sakura are prostitutes in some random pleasure palace where they entertain an unknown male character with their bodies. Both girls appear to be playing outside of their normal personality from the original show, and instead of finding the situation unpleasant, they seem to be enjoying it. The extra lasts for only few minutes.
Lastly, we have yet another spinoff story; Taimanin Asagi Toraware no Niku Ningyou. It is an ongoing series which has just one episode available at the moment. Despite having familiar characters from the main show like Asagi and her sister Sakura, as well as Oboro, this one claims to be a spinoff even though its setting is not alien to where Taimanin Asagi 3 left off. For anyone who watched the entire show and continued from here, this feels pretty much like a sequel at first, but as one dwells deeper into the episode, there are things that do break this misconception.
While watching through the entire show of Taimain Asagi, there was a lot to enjoy when it came to the Hentai, a real treat for the most part. It offered a decent amount of everything and knew what the audience wanted while delivering something new on top of it to keep things interesting. Just when I thought I had seen enough of tentacles and orcs, the show gave me something completely different for a moment before returning to the good old familiar formula.
The story is not really anything special, but that is not to say it is bad. It is just an average typical story of sexy ninjas fighting bad guys and getting cornered in a way or another for an excuse to get to see some hot action, just like literally every other Hentai out there. Naturally, there is no shame in that, though anyone would appreciate a good story on top of their Hentai…
The writing is decent and the story has strong foundation because the world works within its own rules and limits and the show never appears to break them. For a series based on Tokyo with demons living among humans and the government running a secret Taimanin program, it all seems to fit together just fine even though much of this really is not shown to the audience, just mostly explained…
The bigger picture Taimanin tries to paint with its world and lore is not really found in the main series, but it builds a base for everything else that happens outside of it. If you are willing to dive deeper into Taimanin universe by watching the spinoffs and enjoying some of the visual novels, I think there is a world worth to explore here.
Taimanin Asagi has a vast fanbase and it feels good to be part of the community able to take part in many conversations discussing the universe and all the characters. I really can not remember another Hentai that has garnered as much popularity as Taimanin Asagi. There is a good reason why the franchise is still alive and relevant today, and once you get to know it better, you will realize why this is. Just do not go in expecting it to be one of the best Hentai stories out there because that is not true and it is not where Taimanin’s charm lies.
