Bastard!!

I 1st saw this when I was an elementary kid, got a peek from my brother collection. After that i was into magic and myth. Too bad they didn't have detail descriptions of the monsters and spells in the animate. That would be so awesome. Thx Netflix for bringing back Spriggan too. The story is very original to the comic, except the nudity. If it is 18+, I think they should have it. The fight scene wasn't the best nowsaday, still very behind from demon slayer and Sword Art Online is better. For me i can't stop watching it after the 3rd episode. If they can finish it till the end, it certainly make my bucket list. The last episode is as good as the comic. Again, thx Netflix.

I enjoyed this anime can't wait for season two. Love how the woman are just as strong as the men. I know some would say it's a lot of sexual misconduct, but I still enjoy the show. All the emotions that comes with it too.

This anime is decent to watch but not much substance overall. It has the typical OP hero who is a perv but very little growing story throughout. Episode after episode of pointless enemies one slightly more powerful than the last and our hero struggling at first only to throw out a brand new OP attack he been holding onto out of nowhere followed by a ton of explanation on each attack. A very failed attempt to try and create suspense and draw out battle scenes.

I normally don't mind anime with a little narrating from the characters but this anime uses narration as a filler and it's far to much. On top of that they piece some type of backstory in almost every episode to fit the scenario at the time and it feels cheesy.

I do like the main character Dark Schneider personality. He does not follow your typical hero persona. He is a bad guy hero type, womanizer and very egotistical which makes him quite interesting and funny to watch. Other major characters in this anime seem to be well made as well with each having a unique personality.

I don't know if I should even like this, I'm certainly not target audience for this kind of production (or maybe I am) but I bloody love this. The writing is masterfully stupid with humor that hits you unexpectedly and frequently, accompanied with animation that's mostly top notch.

Nobody who's thirsty will protest the sexually themed animation, it all adds up to brilliantly mock male ideals and Hollywood tropes in my view, and yet, my primal brain does enjoy "Bastard!!"s great renditions of the female form - albeit idealized. Anyone who's tired of conforming to sensibilities of contemporary society, or everything else in our downspiraling world, may find some much needed stupid escapism here and I can't think of anything better than these perfect bite sizes of well animated debauchery to forget my day and bask in the glorious light of Dark Schneider - who, in my heart of hearts, I confess I wish to be.

Don't think this is a spoilers since you can see it in the trailer, so I think I'm just giving a heads up.

You learn pretty quickly (episode 1 if you've got a better trained eye than me lol, but for me episode 2 really). So as long as you know that it's basically a p*rno/h*ntai but on Netflix so major ecchi lol, you can make fun of it and just relax as it is dumb in ways, but it's entertaining enough for the time to pass. Honestly, the people making this must've had a lot of fun cause he acts so dumb, but the moments he causes, while equally so, have hilarious moments.
