So I was looking for the newest Parayste episode and I saw this anime at the corner of my eye. Watched the opening plus first 5 min gotta say this looks fucking killer. Going to start watching it as soon as it gets a few more episodes.


yup, it's worth it

People just don't know about it. People read that it was based off a card game and discounted it. Those who tried it though found the best damn fantasy anime in a long time, and something that could very well be AOTS.

Now we just need to spread it so more people watch it.

Uh, yeah, I dunno about that man. I mean, I'm really enjoying it so far, but "best damn fantasy anime in a long time"? Heck, it might not even be in my top 3 anime of the season unless it gets considerably better than it is right now.

Like I said, I'm enjoying it quite well so far, but... that's a pretty big exaggeration in my eyes, and exaggerations like that are what cause people to go into an anime expecting big things then being underwhelmed when it's not big things.


I have to agree. This show is a pleasant surprise; however, the lack of hype the show has gotten as well as its relatively low ranking compared to other shows airing this season has cause everyone to freak out and exaggerate the quality of the show. We still haven't seen enough to definitely say that the show could even meet the expectations that people are currently placing upon it halfway. I have fairly high hopes for the show and it has turned out fairly well so far, but that's as far as I'd take it.

Because it isn't as popular as Yu gi-oh?


Well yeah, but then again Yu-Gi-Oh! is much bigger than Rage of Bahamut. Keep in mind that one is a PHYSICAL card game and the other is mobile. Although RoB is pretty popular too, no?

I can't say my personal experience is any indicator of the norm with ccg. But from experience with playign a few of them I didn't really care what the game was so long as the mechanics behind it were engaging and the community was active. I only played at most a couple dozen hours of ccg mind you, but if I were on a site and it gave a list of the top 5 most popular ccg and RoB was one of them... the chance I'd play that game would be 20%.

I really thought it would be more popular because of the title similar to SnK. But... maybe that is why people are not watching it... I don't know why it doesn't have hype. It should be hyped as much as F/SN if not more. Also, I really don't get the low rating, I mean everyone who watched it loved it... People on MAL are weird. :D


While generic cliche series like Nanatsu no Taizai already has a 8+ rating on mal.

Just thinking about it makes my head hurts.


Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that Nanatsu is pretty overrated. The first two eps are making me sleep already.

I haven't seen a lot of talk about the series but what little I do see is always positive. In all honesty though I'm not all that impressed with it so far. I certainly enjoy it but I never felt like it has really lived up to the first episode. I don't really know how to explain it but it's just not doing anything for me.

Disagree about Nanatsu since I found it pretty decent, but i agree that Shingeki no Bahamut is certainly something special done right

Nanatsu is not bad, but Bahamut is miles better than Nanatsu, that's why it's stupid.

The score should rise when it finishes.

But in the end, does it even matter? I know it is a hell of a show, a lot of others also know that. The scores never been very right, I mean AgK is still above 8.

More or less, because a higher score means more people are more likely to check it out. SnB is good enough that it shouldn't just remain a "hidden gem."

How does it even deserve any hype? It's just a very random and simple show with a bit of humour and pretty good animation. No depth, no good characters, basically nothing you will keep in mind after putting it on your completed list.

Then let me ask you, how does shows like Akame ga Kill, SAO, etc. have so much hype? They are truly shit.

We all know what this show is, nothing groundbreaking, nothing deep, but it is miles better than a lot of shows who have above 8 rating. That is the reason why we are questioning it.

The AgK animation supporting the action scenes I've watched is on almost god-tier compared to Bahamut. I think maybe you've been watching poor quality versions??? And the ost is MUCH better in Agk for sure. That much I can say with utmost certainty.

Objectivity doesn't exist in entertainment. Bahamut and AgK have VASTLY different art styles and what appeals to one won't necessarily appeal to another. Bahamut's art style doesn't even look like an anime. Yeah, I love it, but if someone were to tell me they can't stand it I would understand why.

And Bahamut's AND AgK's soundtracks are both banal, aside from one or two good themes. You can't get more subjective than music taste.

Nobody can say that SnB is objectively better than AgK. That's just personal taste.

It's not ground breaking but is definitely entertaining as heck. Well, nobody cares if it's hyped or not. The main objective of this anime is to boost the sales of the video games so they couldn't care less about anything else. It's score really seems low but then again it's just a fun show without much depth so I don't exactly see why it needs to be very high. 8.40 at best on this site should suffice. Let's see it's final score.

And lol@ AKG having better animation than SNB;G. Animation style is certainly subjective but when it comes to animation itself , Bahamut had a much higher budget and so produced action scenes with smoother animation due to higher framerates. AKG on the other hand had lots of stills or reaction shots. AKG's animation looked like something from the last decade (the very beginning of it) to be honest.

There weren't many still used in the second half of AgK lol, in fact they used it as a substance to enhance the show itself, not because of poor budget. AgK's actions scenes are executed much better and utilise better quality animation. Show me something from the last decade that had as good animation as the fight in episode 19.

Also its a bit unrealistic to think Bahamut will reach 8.40. My bet is low 7.90s or just below 8 after airing.

This anime is probably unknown to many out there.. Hence, the rank and the rating for this anime is justified in MAL but to me this anime should not be around #650.

This is how my story goes regarding encountering this anime.

It all started during March of this year when I randomly went and checked Yoko Kanno's wikipedia page after watching Wolf's Rain so as to watch more of the anime where she was responsible for the music. I then spotted Zankyou no Terror and while browsing through ANN regarding ZnT, I came to know that it was being directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and music by Yoko Kanno. Note that I was not aware of the studio MAPPA at that time. (MAPPA is responsible for animating ZnT, Bahamut, Garo, Sakamichi no Apollon).

I started to follow ZnT weekly and was blown away by the animation and their attention to detail. Hence, once again, I went through ANN to check what all anime MAPPA had animated and I also came to know that the former CEO of MadHouse is the current head of MAPPA. Lol. So, after checking the list of anime, I fell upon both Garo and Bahamut which were to be released this Fall.

I knew about Garo and Bahamut about 5 to 6 months ago but fortunately or unfortunately, I didn't have the time to follow them weekly but instead ended up watching both of those in one sitting. Definitely, Garo and Bahamut should be recognized by the masses but will they have a positive reaction towards it?

PS: Punch Line is the next anime where MAPPA is in charge of animation production and it will release in Spring '15.

mad because i'm not sure how i managed to pass this series over when making my list for fall 2014. and glad because i didn't have to wait week by week for something this great.

though i do wonder how so many people including myself didn't know about this one.

I didn't have the motivation to continue this after the first episode. I was turned off by the style of this anime. The character design, the art, the soundtrack, the plot, just nothing got me interested. I feel like I'd waste my time if I continue, so I just left it with only episode watched.
