Bibleman is my favorite television show of all time. The show is constantly lampooned here; trust me, I understand why. Bibleman looks cheesy to the outside viewer, but it has more soul than any other superhero show on TV. Unyieldingly self-aware, Bibleman gets a bad rap.

The show can best be broken down into four separate eras.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
1. Big Big Book (1995)
2. Back to School (1995)
3. The Six Lies of the Fibbler (1996)
4. Silencing the Gossip Queen (1996)
The episodes that started it all. Bibleman looks a little goofy in episodes, and the show struggles to find its footing at first (the school kids that are forced into these episodes give the show a strange boy meets world vibe), but there’s a lot of charm in these early episodes. Plus, Bibleman literally fights the equivalent of a dirty Jew in the Gossip Queen episode. It’s exceedingly based.

THE GOLDEN ERA
5. Defeating the Shadow of Doubt (1998)
6. The Fiendish Works of Dr. Fear (1999)
7. The Incredible Force of Joy (1999)
8. Conquering the Wrath of Rage (2000)
9. The Stories of Jesus (2000)
10. Shattering the Prince of Pride (2000)
11. Breaking the Bonds of Disobedience (2001)
12. Lead Us Not Into Temptation (2001)
This is where the show really kicks it in gear. The show shifts formats from a show that primarily gives its screen time to a faggy purple man teaching kids bible lessons to focusing on Bibleman beating the shit out of demons with his yellow lightsaber. Bibleman gets not one, but two costume changes and the show ascends to kino status. Shining star in these episodes is Luxor Spawndrof, a recurring villain that stars in almost all of the episodes in this era. This guys hams up his performance to the max and makes the shows absolutely hysterical. Pick an episode here to start your Bibleman journey, you can’t go wrong (except maybe stories of Jesus, kind of a meh episode)

How much money did you earn playing Bibleman?

THE SLOW DECLINE
13. Jesus Our Savior Part 1 (2002)
14. Jesus Our Savior Part 2 (2003)
15. A Light in the Darkness (2003)
16. Divided We Fall (2004)
17. A Fight For Faith (2004)
This is where the shows starts to decline. A lot of things go wrong here. For one Luxor Spawndrof is out. His actor is never featured on the show again. Second, he’s replaced with a villain who does a bafflingly horrible nutty professor impersonation. Bibleman gets a badass costume change to all silver in these episodes, but that doesn’t soften the final blow: Willie Aames, lead actor for Bibleman, leaves the series in episode 16. The replacement actor for Bibleman is charisma blackhole. A former youth pastor from California, he provides none of the Bantz necessary to play Bibleman effectively. This proves to be the final nail in the coffin for the series.
Jaxson Garcia
"If only you knew how bad things really were" ERA
18. Terminating the Toxic Tonic of Disrespect (2006)
19. Tuning Out The Unholy Hero (2007)
20. Crushing the Conspiracy of the Cheater (2007)
21. Lambasting the Legions of Laziness (2008)
22. Blasting The Big Gamemaster Bully (2009)
23. In the Presence of Enemies (2010)
These episodes are absolute dog shit and are probably the primary contributors to why people think Bibleman is corny Christian shit. It’s obvious that when Aames pulled out, the money went with him. Production values go way down in these episodes and everything suffers. The acting is shit, the sets are shit, the makeup is shit, the villains are shit. Worst of all, no more soul remains. Avoid these episodes like the plague.
This isn’t even touching stuff like the live episodes (which are bretty good) and the animated episodes (which are rancid dog shit). Hope this gives an idea on where to start your Bibleman journey!

I am not Willie Aames. By all accounts, that nigga broke anyway

I think that is inherent to the product, user.
Chase Sanders
>Conquering the Wrath of Rage
I think I watched this on VHS at a ski cabin once. Was good for a laugh.

unironically a better saber fight than anything in the sequel trilogy

Post links, bro

I really like his villains. Too bad they caved to SJWs and got rid of the samurai-themed guy.

Has nearly every episode, with the few that are missing easily located by a quick youtube search.
William Brown
Is it really your favorite show of all time if you only like 7 episodes?

Ayden Hill
I almost all of them with those last few episodes being the only ones that I truly dislike. The show had a short run, but holy based are those golden era episodes kino

slaying demons is biblical

Watched an episode of this when I was a little kid, I always just assumed it was a hokey Christian Batman knockoff. I'll check out some of those golden age episodes though OP, sounds more kino than I remember. Do you have a favorite ep?
Nathan Harris
Wrath of Rage and Prince of Pride are both kino starting points. I personally really like the Disobedience episode, but that's only because of how invested I am in the character arcs.

tell me this theme song isn't exceedingly based

You shouldn’t use the Lord’s name in vain like that.
Blake Russell
Bibleman is the strongest anime character of all time.
Charles Jones
The fact that someone went to the trouble of writing a full series review of fucking Bibleman is sending me into hysterics

> exorcising demons is biblical
Fixed that for you. Slaying is for pagan athiests and their fairy tales.
Grayson Price
I met Bibleman at local Christian bookstore when I was a kid.
William Davis
is bibleman black or is it just the suit that makes him look that way?
Easton Morales
he’s white. he’s got a black sidekick.
Jacob Russell
I did grow up with it, was homeschooled and only allowed to watch selected stuff like the Creation Adventure Team and we had to play the games that our Church allowed. Amongst them all Bibleman was the least worst.
