Bastard is one of the most tedious, uninspired animes I've seen in a long time. It's unfortunate, because it almost comes close to having some interesting ideas. The characters are generic, uninteresting and one dimensional. The main character is a teenage misfit's self insert; a sexy evil guy who's actually good, who gets away with being a jerk and a perv because he's just so powerful, because reasons. He's feels like someone I would have thought was cool as a kid, and I'd be ashamed of that fact today. But somehow the show insists he's cool, and constantly reminds you of that as the characters talk about how special he is. And if course they always have to use his lame moniker, Dark Schneider. He uses approximately 3 different powers ever, which can be summarised as "fire" and "big fire", plus something to do with illusions but he's only going to do that once and not in a fight, so don't expect any interesting use of different abilities. The other characters are barely worth mentioning, apart from the fucking dragon minion. This little bastard seems to exist entirely so that his annoying squawking, which sounds like he's struggling to take a shit, can be used as a substitute for having to write more conversation. Everyone else either exists to talk about how cool Dark Schneider is, or to say he's not cool and then get killed. Every fight consists of Dark Schneider and his foe taking turns declaring that they've won, only for everyone to be surprised that the other isn't actually dead. Then they do the same thing again but talk about how much more powerful it is this time. Fully the last two or three episodes are just this, over and over again. If they made literally any joke about it it would be funny, instead but it's just dull. My main disappointment is that the show doesn't even try to use its setting. The intro sets it up as the result of some apocalyptic battles, awakening godlike powers that spelled the end of modern society. This is rad and it would be awesome if the shoe explored literally any part of the idea. Instead the world has just become generic medieval fantasy for no reason. Plus there's the whole thing of how it's "metal" but the extent of that is just references to the names of old metal bands in the incantations for the approximately 5 spells in the entire show. There's no exploration of how this happened or what can be done, nor is there any expansion of how the heavy metal of the old world somehow carries power. Maybe the older version did something with this, but after watching this I'm not going back to find out. The one goal the show succeeded at was being unapologetically horny. When characters aren't just dying over and over in fights, they're blasting each other's clothes off, or taking breaks to fondle the side characters. There's plenty of softcore nudity, both male and female, and there are even a couple of funny moments! Unfortunately, it's not funny enough to justify the rest of it. Overall, this is an anime with practically nothing unique or interesting to show, that manages to carefully dodge every shot it has at being good. It was a thorough waste of time for both the creators and the viewers. Give it a miss!
