Bastard!! may not be a big success story in the anime medium, but what it does do, it does well. For those expecting the old school style of anime, this is what you'll get. It's not a masterpiece, it's not even that good to be honest, but the aspects it needed to hit, it did. Animation is great, sound quality is great, it has great fights, it has lewd fanservice, and this is all I was expecting. If you go into this knowing, it's a trashy old school anime homage, then I think this can be enjoyable for some, whilst others, I can see people turned off by its shallow storytelling, and it's fanservice.

Animation 9/10
- Great style, very flashy, good fanservice, just high-quality work.
Sound 9/10
- Solid OP/ED, great sound effects, BGM, etc, again very good quality work put into the production of art and sound.
Story 5/10
- The story leaves something to be desired, the story does exist, but the show can feel episodic to a degree, hopefully in part 2, it picks up steam.
Characters 7/10
- Great character design through and through, but many of these cool characters get an episode or two, and then were off to the next character. The show is about Dark Schneider though, so I can excuse the lack of depth in characters.
Enjoyment 7/10
- It can feel boring at times, a bit episodic, and feels like the story doesn't really go anywhere, but the journey through the first 13 episodes was entertaining enough to complete it, and I will watch part 2 soon.

I recommend this to those with an open mind, that this is not a banger, it is old school in its format, but amplified in its presentation. Don't bother if boobs scare you.
