Fun fantasy with a ton of action and really likable lead cast. The Story is pretty generic though, nothing special and is solid for what it is but it's certainly by the numbers in many ways. Beautifully animated character designs and animation in general though could have perhaps done with a little less CG. Recommended and I look forward to the sequel in a few months, though I'll be waiting for the simuldub since the dub cast was really solid.

Pretty fun adventure series but the start was incredibly dull and slow, glad it improved later on. Interested to see where the second season will lead with new MC and all.

Favaro & Kaisar always made a great team.

Loves that scene where the angels and demons were working together to stop Bahamut.

I enjoyed this a lot and really looking forward to the 2nd season.

What a epic and wild adventure it was! This was filled with entertaining and yeah those who can overcome Episode 1 somehow can get greatest satifaction feeling about finishing a hidden gem.Too bad this should been more popular.

I really liked the most was the chemistry between Favaro and Kaiser.

That was simply amazing. I went in with low expectations and ended up binge watching it in one go. Everything was enjoyable
especially the animation and sound.


The kiss between Favaro and Amira was really touching, but I almost cracked up at his face xD


Tastes are different, but damn this show is underrated. It is barely in the top 1000.

I kinda was bored by it, dont ask me why. Its just that the good end was highly obvious, and the interesting vibe this show started with faded away very fast.
Garbage world building, like none at all.
I dont want to rate this 6 or lower because it deserves more, but anything higher then 7 would be blasphemie.
My main problem is I had the feeling I saw everything before, like the "hero" and his childhood friend who became "enemys" and get over it. The "important to plot because from child from angel and demon" character.
Im glad Rita was in it. Also Jeannes was kinda awesome, when she turned a demon it was for some reason very emotional.

overall the high quality animation saved this - 7/10 although nothing special. Lets see if season 2 is worth the time.

Quick edit indeed - season 2 is SO much better then this imo. It benefits from already introduced characters but the story just does not seem that obvious.

Finally watched this, so I can get on to watching Season 2.

I enjoyed it, maybe it is just me, but there are a few things I don't quite understand. I looked through the pages in this post for some answers, and between bad grammar and incomplete thoughts I am worn out. K, so any help would be great, here goes:

So I thought there were two keys or a key and a seal? Zeus and Satan turned themselves into keys or seals to initially trap Bahamut, right?

So, halfway through the 1st Season, I thought Azazel and co. were trying to release Satan by using Amira to break "the seal" holding Bahamut?

Bottom line can someone explain the "keys" and/or "seals", and how Zeus and Satan fit into the release of Bahamut, and if Amira was just a vessel why was she yapping to Favaro at the end of episode 12. In other words, what happened to the soul of the "key" that was supposed to be inside of her (Zeus right, or no)? Sigh. Any help would be great!

Hopefully that all made sense.

Beelzebub was killed by Azazel.

Kaisar's left hand got cut off by Favaro to set up that fucking guy behind all these shits.

Rita got pissed at Kaisar for losing his hand. Hehe.

Just when I thought Bacchus is gonna transform Hansa into a fabulously gorgeous figure, but he just got bigger and he's still a duck. Pfffft. My spleen.

I like Favaro x Amira together, but I feel like that romance was rushed since I didn't notice any hints in the previous episodes, but I'm not salty, though. I love that kiss between them and it hurts me that they'll never end up together because Amira had to die. Fucksake, maan.

That was a good finale, though it was predictable. Called it that Favaro is the Holy Knight. Hihi.

8/10 I really enjoyed this anime. I love the characters especially Favaro, Rita, Amira, and my love Kaisar. :3 Will definitely watch its 2nd season anytime soon.

Finale was meh, story is just okay nothing to special it went downhill from the first couple episodes, but the art is truly beautiful, such a waste for such an avarage story like this. And still i can't get my self to like the MC, Favaro is a mediocre character barely left an impression in my head. But Amira and Jeanne are possioble new waifus for me, the art makes them even beautiful, not only that but i guess they have high production budget too. I don't know if i wanna watch the 2nd season if there's nothing interesting, but it was fun to watch

Overall score 7/10

Great anime with great story and most of all the enjoyment was through the roof. I was in my bed jumping for joy from every episode and I couldn't wait for the next. The finale of this one was so epic it made me love even Kaisar, because he was active in this finale to even losing an arm. Too bad though for Amire because I liked her, but most of all the hero of the story Favaro was my favorite. I loved his mature look precisely his goatee, and Kaisar ditching his knight captaincy to join Favaro in bounty hunting again brought back memories from the first episodes.

But the villains in this series precisely Belzebuth and Martinet were a let down (wish Lucifer was the villain), meaning they were defeated easily along with Bahamut.
But the kiss Amire gave Favaro made up for the let down.

9/10 from being brilliant, great main character, animation, plot and most all enjoyment.

The anime is very good. Of course, it have some problems like the rushed ending but is a very good adaptation from a game that is very rare to find. 8/10

so from many, many, many many (MANY) people here saying mappa did this, not surprised. they did zankyou no terror and the animation is wonderful on there as well. the flight scene when the duck flew to bahamut's face was GORGEOUS. it was almost like mappa was showing off.

the last two episodes picked up tremendously. this season finale was just awesome. i liked how bahamut's awakening was filled with darkness and hopelessness, because i really didn't see a way out. usually the villain doesn't even kill anyone but hurts them and is killed in 2 minutes, so there's a plus for this show.

the plot twist of beezlebub being killed was unexpected.

i'm conflicted on the kiss, since amira is like what 5, 10 at best internally? but nothing seemed romantic/sexual about it, just an honest thankful kiss.

speaking of, i also liked how making bad decisions makes everyone pay. the dragon told favaro to kill her before it all happened and he decided not to. now after all this death he has to, making it even harder for him and everyone. shows actual character flaws.

speaking of favaro, not too happy on his beard but it's not that bad.

i would have given this an 8 for the anime and its entirety, but the characters are so enjoyable i'll make it an 8.5. i'm expecting a lot for the next seasons.

Great ending to an alright story.
The characters were great, I really enjoyed the addition of Rita aswell.
Art was stunning though and the kiss at the end was touching.

8/10, really enjoyable series, I wonder what the second season will bring us.

*Oh one that thing that kinda felt way too convenient was the "Seel Soh Cetom" to capture Martinet.
Couldn't they have done that before, and would that mean anyone with any bounty on their head could just be captured like that at any time ... also how would the bracelet know. (I might be looking too much into this lol)

Loved this show every episode of it seriously why is it underrated like this.
How the fuck Favaro survived that last explosion of Bahamut I definitely saw
His leg bein ripped off.

Anyway that kiss was so damn sad, it was a goodbye
For them but not for us cause there is season two gladly it will be better, and Favaro looks pretty cool with that little beard 8/10

decent ride, was hoping for more action instead of the more slice of life stuff. the ending was a bit off seeing how they still had to team up against bahamut.

was also surprised the girl actually diededed when i took a peek at s2 and didnt find her (IIRC).

The art and (2D) animation was great throughout but everything else was pretty much garbage.

Cheesy dialogue and characters, bad comedy (imo) and a uninspired story.
Don't know how so many liked this show but good for them I guess.

Rewatched this show before getting into the 2nd season to refresh my memory and my opinion of it hasn't changed a bit. It still deserves a good score in my book.

Shingeki no Bahamut isn't perfect. The characters are nothing special but they still work in the whole narrative. The plot is basic fantasy and the progression was quite fast. It was pretty much disaster after disaster without much of a break in between. Admittedly, it did keep the suspense going after each episode. What this show executes beautifully is that it just hits all the spots I love in fiction. Angels, demons, dragons, necromancers, zombies... basically general fantasy stuff. It's even better than that this is a straightforward fantasy as opposed to your usual fantasy genre in anime where it is just slapped along other genres as a secondary attribute.

Anyway my score hasn't changed in the slightest even after a rewatch. It's still a solid 8/10 for me. A very good fantasy anime indeed.

Now on to the next season.

I've literally no idea how this can be rated so high. It's a shame because the first episode was quite good imo.

It's like the storytellers had a great setup but got confused what to do with it and spewed out a really generic story.

I mean Bahamut is revived and IMMEDIATELY gets put down again.
Favaro and Keiser survive ridiculous and impossible situations.
Beezlebub plans to revive Bahamut to control it even though it clearly can't be controlled.

And why?

Because they didn't actually know how to write a better story or they were just lazy. I mean comon, it's annoyin cause the world and setup did seem interesting.

Urghh.

Quite an ending. Bahamut lived upto my expectations, a hopelessly powerful force of nature that nothing can withstand for long. His defeat was a bit anti-climatic to me but it was fairly done.

A strong cast and nice production values. I feel like the story and the world could've been more fleshed out but whatever. 6/10.

Sad to see that interaction between Amira and Favaro go down. Such a shame really.

Favaro and Kaisar end the show as buddies. I knew their chemistry would play an integral role in the series.

Mappa did pretty great with the art and animation for the show, but it seems that the last 3/4 eps were unfortunately rushed. Not bad overall.

wait no no no. she's not dead. she can't die. no no no. that's terrible if that's how it ended

but i LOVED how they brought back "are these the eyes of a liar" or whatever that phrase is that they used so often in the earlier episodes (and he got smacked every time, but not this time)

pretty sure they didn't need to cut that dude's hand off in order to defeat that nutjob. but i guess if they live in a society where you get mechanical limbs that are apparently as good as the real mccoy then it's not really a big deal (but we didn't know he'd get a replacement hand at the time)

also good to see puffball survived. and he gets a mechanical leg, because obviously they have to level the playing field for those two morons and their neverending duel

from episode 7 onward this was a very good show (8/10). i enjoyed it quite a bit. i thought the first 5 were kind of average (5 or 6/10). so i'll have to give this a 7/10 overall, but man it's borderline 8/10

Was hoping for more adventures but it is time to say farewell...
In the end, I was hoping for a happy couple ending but... sigh...
I need a sequel that has a happy ending for Amira and also for Jeanne.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I don't really like how they make Lavalley/Martinet die (I was also a bit surprised when they revealed who Lavalley really is), but never mind, maybe that's how it should be.

The ending was quite bittersweet for me, even though it was all for the best. Most importantly, how was Rita after that time? Well, she was one of the mvp during this crazy great journey.

And yeah that kiss.. one of the cutest goodbye kisses I've ever seen :'3

So,this episode was outstanding but a bit sad cuz of Amira

that kissing scene between Amira and Favaro was wholesome and bromance between Kaiser and Favaro was cool too.

Overall I love this anime and this episode. Also I watched Virgin Soul it was kinda disappointing but anyways "Genesis" is the best season.. better than virgin soul.

oh god oh no they went full 'born sexy yesterday' on Amira. still do not understand at all why they had to make her a 6 year old. that kiss scene could have been so touching with better characters

pretty disappointed...the story of this anime was like the most simplistic, unoriginal high fantasy plot ever, the ending was anticlimactic despite the fact that it showed a dragon destroying the world, and it had an unfortunate case of interesting side characters, horrible leads (excluding Rita if she is one), and abysmally one-note villains.

Thanks Lucifer, thanks a lot for raising your hands at the last minute tho sitting on your ass for whole 12 episodes.

Bahamut was just wasted. Actually whole art was wasted.
Wish the writing was better with 24 episodes. It could have even challenged JJK.
