Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis, by all accounts, should have been a completely forgettable and mediocre show having the pretense of being a teaser anime for Cygames and their mobile card game. The source material has the plot of a piece of cardboard and is little more than a collection of conceptual artwork. With all those things in mind, Studio MAPPA rises to the challenge and completely shatters my non-existent expectations as they set the standard for a promotional show.

Taking place within a fantasy setting where the combined efforts of mankind, gods and demons have successfully sealed away the world-destroying Bahamut, the world of ...

In depth review #2 - Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis

Shingeki no Bahamut was exactly what i wanted it to be. An epic battle fantasy anime with good characters and a unique universe that blended everything together. And DRAGONS, beautifully animated hardcore FUCKING DRAGONS! Most shows with dragons in it makes their dragons look like shitty play-doh statues but this show did i right. All you need to do is see the first scene of the show and you'll know what I'm talking about. If there are any gamers reading this, imagine the game Darksiders mixed with the opening cinematic trailer of Final Fantasy XIV and that ...

If the word ‘adventure’ is part of your daily vocabulary, then Shingeki no Bahamut is definitely something to consider watching. Based off a card game franchise, the series takes place in some sort of alternate medieval universe starring a group of young adventurers. The catch though is that the story is clouded by a dark past relating to a source of power threatening to destroy the world. That source (known as the Bahamut) was sealed away some 2000 years ago but has recently been broken and split into two in the form of keys. A cat and mouse-like game ensures now as to find the ...

First, I have to say that this is one of the best anime I've ever watched... It starts with the fact that it contains more than one mythological belief (Gods, Evil, Dragons, Legendary Heroes...) and further more they are fused in one story, when I read the synopsis, I thought that this is another anime with cliches about gods, humans, and evil fighting and shit, but then I was so glad I watched the first episode cause the characters were so good actually and since the beginning there was major events in the story.

Second, the plot is good, I mean, combining stories already known and ...

**SPOILER FREE REVIEW**

Every now and then, an anime comes along that is so remarkably charming, entertaining, and fun that you just completely forget about the rest of its flaws. Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis, is the epitome of this kind of anime. It’s 100% “rule of cool”; a million things are going on at the same time, ridiculous amounts of insanity are crammed into short intervals of time, the characters and plot events are totally over the top, and yet all you can do is smile while watching it. SnB is undoubtedly the pleasant surprise of the season, considering that it’s based on, of all things, ...

Here are the three things that made this anime so wonderful:

1) It created the sense that the world was expansive and filled with mystery and potential adventure, which is something that many other anime have tried to do and failed miserably at.

2) The characters (for the most part) weren't cutouts of what is so easy to find in anime. The main character, Favaro, was intelligent and adroit, but he wasn't without his faults. He wasn't just some guy that was fighting for peace for no other reason than peace. He has more depth than that, he can be selfish and cold, as ...

Another anime that prove MAPPA’s technical capability, after the success of Zankyou no Terror. We received another amazing anime. So let’s start.

Bahamut starts with the most enthralling beginning that makes us all excited. We get the usual adventure-slash-fantasy vibe executed in the best way possible. But the problem is, as we get closer to the midway of the show, the mood of the show toned down. I now realized that Bahamut is becoming more boring and dull. It is losing its charm. It becomes less entertaining. For the reason, that Bahamut is not even “trying”. It is not that ambitious of a work to become ...

Story: 8/10

I like the story because it was like something typical, something cliche at the start, but later, by watching, you realize that it's going away from this cliche like story and gets actually a really nice short story with some mythology influence in it, many monsters, magic and fantasy. Maybe it was a bit too short, maybe they just rushed it a bit...maybe making 25 episodes would made the anime better, but only maybe, who knows.
I can only tell that i really enjoyed watching it because it was a bit....well, yeah, different :D

Characters: 7/10

Oh god, there are characters i really hated at the start, ...

Shingeki No Bahamut: Genesis/ Rage of Bahamut: Genesis Spoiler Free Review

First I would like to state that prior to watching this series I had no idea that it was intended to be a promotional series for a mobile card game, however, taking that into account it only adds to my appreciation for the series.

I will sometimes just abbreviate the series as SBG to keep things simple, and I will be breaking down this review into a few components: Story, Art/Animation, Sound, Character and overall feelings.

SBG is a series I had high hopes for and was waiting in anticipation to finish. I took up the ...

Bahamut, a feared silver dragon, has been inert for two thousand years thanks the gods, humans and demons managed to win him. To keep him away of the world gods and demons have a seal they keep in their worlds.

One day a girl call Amira who only knows she has to find her mother on a land called Helheim arrives to Earth, she brings a amulet which is damaged and she can’t go there, but one night in a tavern she hears a bounty hunter called Favaro saying he’s going to Helheim and he knows an short cut. Amira proposes Favaro a deal who accepts ...

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)

One of history's defining features is the men and women who were willing to take a chance. Concepts such as traversing the Atlantic for colonization, migrating across the western half of North America, or scouting Europe for a new trade route sound fantastical. During the "Age of Discovery," embarking on an adventure was the norm, with riches and prospects the rewards. Nowadays, an "adventure" usually consists of driving the car to the local toy store. But suppose an opportunity presented itself. Would you shy away from what lie before you, or would you follow your destiny? As Shingeki ...

Preliminary (11/12 eps)
Shingeki No Bahamut:

MINDSET:
Cool, fun and epic-ish action adventure show that should not be taken seriously. Only watch it for the woeful and charmful rather than OMG! I'm f**king crying bruv!

SYNOPSIS:
Afro Ginger Bounty Hunter/Asian skinned protagonist encounters a demon girl, in which he became a demon in the next day. After that, we found out that she has some flipping item inside her body that is really important according from the fantasy realm she lives in, and now they want it back. Without question, Afro Ginger decides to venture with the demon named Amira to rid his curse for having a tail.

REVIEW:
This show is more like ...

Having randomly stumbled upon this Anime, I didn't know what I'd get. All I knew about it was that it was a Fantasy Anime, which I've seen a lot. So I thought it'd be some generic Anime which I'd forget about in a heartbeat. But I'm happy to say that that's not the case here. So, on to my review.

Okay so it's a pretty terrible show.

The scenario is uninteresting as fuck (it's basically Diablo 3), the characters are full cliché, the universe has been seen a thousand time.

But OH. MY. GOD. THIS. ANIMATION.
This is simply stunning. It has been a bit eclipsed because of Unlimited Budget Works but this is simply one of the most beautiful anime I've ever seen in term of animation and art (but not the most original).

It's like the creator of the card game went to MAPPA with a bag of gold without having any idea of how much an anime cost normally and asked them ...

It's always rather interesting to see what sort of direction a new animation studio takes. Being fresh onto the anime landscape gives you a ton of options to choose from. Will you take the easy path of cute girls and slice of life, or will it be the hard road of heavy action and grandly designed set pieces? As of now, after the three main titles from our latest studio to be born, I'm very happy to say that Studio MAPPA has chosen to take the high road, and the possibilities for their future are ...

A fun, action fantasy adventure with gorgeous visuals and a charming cast.

★★★★

Rage of Bahamut isn’t the most amazing or original show out there, but it’s without a doubt thoroughly enjoyable. It doesn’t try to be deep or complex. It has a Pirates of the Caribbean feel of fun and adventure. It’s a story about a bounty hunter helping a girl get to her destination, but they get swept up in the bigger picture involving humans, angels, demons, and a world destroying dragon.

The first thing you’ll notice about Bahamut is it’s a very good looking show. The fantasy setting is a breath of fresh air from ...

I could just write FAAAVAROOOOO and let you either wallow in confusion or watch the show to figure out what I am refering to, but even one such as I consider myself a bit more professional than that.

9/10

I read a bunch of reviews about this show before I watched it so I was expecting something nice. I still managed to be surprised.
How can that be if I got a good anime when I expected one? Shouldn't I have gotten exacly what I expected?
It's because this anime, this Shingeki No Bahamut, it does almost everything uniquely, and very well so. Mostly the characters, they're very well ...

I picked this up on a whim not knowing very much about it and was I taken for a ride! There are so many different elements and themes going on that I was always surprised by what came next! I think that's what I liked most about it. All the twists and turns really kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat! It's a little rushed at times with everything being shoved into 12 episodes, but I think it handles itself fairly well despite that.

I won't say more since I don't want to spoil anything, but I highly recommend checking this one out!

(Just a small review.NO SPOILERS CONTAINED, so feel free to read, and sorry for my English, it's not my native language.)

One of the few anime out there without being adopted by a manga. Snb is a unique anime in almost every aspect. Nice to watch, and enjoyable. Let's go to more detail:

Story 8
(maybe) A classic story for this genre of anime. The story flaws well for me, and for some people it may flaws too fast. Only 1 filler episode, and the ending was pretty satisfying. A few plot holes like 'what happened to him/her after... etc' Can't wait for season 2 to ...
Mar 21, 2015
Another review enjoy. Gonna try my best to fully remember have been watching alot of anime back to back recently so im just hoping the important stuff stick with me for this review.

Story- A medieval type of feel and look, The story consists of 2 guys who are bounty hunters and a girl whos half demon and half who is looking for her mother.... basically thats it. I liked the story although my description wasnt really giant im keeping it as basic as possible i really liked the story mainly because of the girl main character because of how Bad*** she was. Humans, Gods and ...
