[Jman]

This screams Netflix.

You gotta love anime that has a profanity in the title.

Now that's a name I ain't heard in a long ass time.

Fuck that key art's giving me an urge to listen to Testament.

Actually, I will:

Netflix is airing it, which makes sense given the content.

Great band.

 

 

I have the original Bastard! soundtrack that I picked up for like $1 from Right Stuf's bargain bin, but have never seen the actual show.

I vaguely remember liking the OVA when I rented it ages ago. Never touched the manga, it was pretty long iirc.

All the Walden Books I used to camp out at had a ton of Bastard! volumes.

I borrowed this from a friend...I remember it being ok but my selection was very limited then so I liked everything

Nah, you fucked up the title. It's 'Bastard!!' not 'Bastard!'

This trailer is just pure concentrated 90s anime stereotypes.

It looks amazing.

June 30 debut.

New key visual.  I fully expect a lot of Twitter whining about this show if it’s as faithful to the manga as they claim it will be (essentially Netflix gave them the same freedom as Dave Chappelle to do whatever).

[Jman]

New trailer telling you to expect tits, metal, and an extremely handsome protagonist.

[Jman]

Even the opening is full of blood, ass, and side boob.

But it also has DS going completely shirtless as well.  So it evens out somewhat.

Shirtless? more like full on bare ass visible enough to make mochi shudder with joy.

Seeing a surprising amount of female fans for this show.  I think it’s because Dark Schneider is coming off as “InuYasha, but horny”.

[Jman]

The ED sequence which is also NSFW.  The show is apparently in the top 10 in numerous international markets, and is getting pretty good traction here.  

[Jman]

Very quick turnaround but the Twitter is bullish about a season 2.

[Jman]

 

The show is officially a worldwide hit.  Which…good.

[Jman]

 

Second half is out.

[Jman]

 

Season 2 is happening, and the manga gets more insane from here, so good.

[Jman]

Season 2 trailer because someone at Netflix likes anime from the early 90s when it was advertised as too hot for TV.

[Jman]

Season 2 trailer.  Show premieres end of July.

[Jman]

The opening is another banger from Coldrain.
