Bastard

Bastard!! is for the most part a typical kuso item. Meaning it's so hilariously bad it's actually good; essentially a parody on itself. Or rather, it depends entirely on your sense of humor.

If you're easily entertained by:
- cliche-ridden story;
- nonsensical amount of injuries (and blood loss) sustained by characters;
- pathetic sound effects;
- ugly character design;
- ridiculous screenplay and voice acting;
- bad fanservice;
- overpowered fighters and magicians beating the crap out of each other;
- the essence of MANLINESS furiously emanating from most male characters;
- the fact that most character/location/spell names are derived from rock/metal music bands (and yes, I'm being dead serious here);
- a sum of all the above,
chances are you'll like it and perhaps even regard it as one of the most entertaining OVAs ever. Yes, it was made for laughs, and it gets the job done perfectly in my opinion. Those with less developed sense of humor will rather think otherwise.

That's right, if you fail to be amused by Bastard!!, you will most likely not enjoy any other of its aspects. It's still an outstanding piece of crap from any serious standpoint, and don't blame me for not warning you beforehand.

And in conclusion, just to prove how delightfully bad it is, here's my favorite quote from ep 2:

Yoko: What are you going to do?
*green slime starts pouring from walls*
Gara: That's right, it's slime. It will dissolve your clothes. read more
