Hoichiro Ohma works in an office. Everybody knows him as a silent, humble man. Even his girlfriend, Nanase, doesn't suspect that he could be something more, but he is. When a person dies as a victim of murder; when someone kills himself with a curse on his lips; when someone's death needs to be judged, he is there, for he is a Judge Of Darkness. Following the Laws Of Darkness, with a book made of human skin and an unusual parrot, he pronounces judgement over living criminals that would otherwise go free.

Where it came from
Judge is a two-part original video animation released in 1991, produced by the studio Movic. It emerged during the height of the early nineties OVA boom in Japan, a period characterized by high-concept horror and dark fantasy storytelling designed specifically for the direct-to-video market. The production reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the era, utilizing a gritty, atmospheric animation style to complement its narrative focus on psychological tension and occult themes.
The project was part of a broader trend of experimental animation projects that allowed creators to explore mature themes outside the constraints of broadcast television. While the specific creative staff behind its visual design operated within the standard industrial practices of contemporary Movic productions, the work remains a noted entry for those interested in the darker side of eighties and nineties cult animation. It was received as a niche dark fantasy piece, appreciated by fans of gothic horror and supernatural suspense during the peak years of the VHS format.
