well i liked the comdey and the semi romance that has been built up, i like how they have made it so that there is inocence and there is a great evil

also how they make it so that a bad guy helps the good guy aspect of the show. im curious to see the relationship that is going to get built up and how things will play out

Behold of my awesomeness~

Is Dark Schneider the one who the title of the series is referring to? I mean attempting to kill the father of the girl you love and in her presence no less, is the bastard's way indeed. Oh jerks, scum and a**holes as well. LOL

Terrific! This made me so nostalgic of old 90's and 80's anime....

hahahahahahahahahaah it was so funny, everything about the virgin-kiss and her being annoyed when her father doubted her virginity... I like the comedy.
Dark Schneider is such a badass!

I think i'm gonna like this.

Some good comedy going on here I laughed a few times, although the animation is subpar compared to things we see today it's very reminiscent and I dont mind watching shows like this once in a while. As long as they have other elements to make up for it.

I like this D&D vibe. It's quite nostalgic.

It was okay, very D&D-ish and representative of this period of anime. Too much of the comedy revolved around the sexuality of our heroine, but it was still kinda cute. I like the romance. The show isn't really that dark for being about an evil sorcerer though.

From the voice acting to the long exposition dialogues, this was a pretty cringy episode. I guess I expected something better.

Nice first episode with a decent and interesting proposition!!

Now it's time to see how it evolves, the story and the characters.

Engrish?
4 lords of havoc?
Hakaishin?
Dat attack!
Kebidabu.
Oh snap! They taking the women!
A girl is undressing.
Dat slap.
Yoko. Rushe.
Another slap.
Ansla-Sax.

Today is August 25th. Happy 31st anniversary to Bastard!! First time watching Bastard!! was in the mid 2000's. Now to rewatch for the 31st anniversary.

What a start! I miss 90's animation style. Modern anime don't hit the same visually. The only thing I didn't feel good about in this episode was Yoko (girl) slapping Rushe (boy) for comedy. Because if it were the other way around, people would scream like someone got murdered. If they both slap each other then that's fair.

Also, for the people reading the subs thinking he said "next episode", he said "jikai" which is "next time".

If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

dunno why but I was expecting better. Doesn't set my expectations ablaze for the following netflix adaptation either.
