If you are fan of the manga, or the OVA from the ‘90s, you might already know what this anime is all about. If you don’t, welcome to the world of “Bastard!!”! It is a dark fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic world chocked full of mythical creatures, psychedelic battles, power fantasy, and ECCHI; imagine Berserk meets InuYasha meets D&D, but horny.
WHAT I LIKE: I am a big fan of the Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi manga, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that I like the perverted nature of this anime. FAN SERVICE IS LIFE!
This, and Kaifuku, are borderline hentai; and I love that (please
...
don’t cancel me).
The first season is a pretty faithful adaptation given that it was written by the famous Yōsuke Kuroda (who wrote/co-wrote for series like Goblin Slayer, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Hellsing Ultimate, Drifters, etc), but if you have read the manga by Kazushi Hagiwara in the ‘80s, you know that things are way more apeshit in there.
On a different note, the bad boy attitude of the MC does somehow appealed to me; I personally hate timid, indecisive MCs. They are kinda frustrating, and at times, annoying (here’s looking at you, Subaru of Re:Zero)
WHAT I DISLIKE: There are some goofy cinematography in there that might take you out of the immersion for a bit. For instance, there was a shot-reverse shot between the MC’s reaction and a villain lunging towards him while yelling his name. I don’t know if that was made for comedic purpose, or there was a budget cut in the middle of the production. 😂
Other than that, I was a tad bit disappointed because the anime tried to tone down on the horniness of the original material; you should just go all the way, brother!
