Synopsis:
A grand and unique story, an alluring fantasy world, intense battles full of swords and sorcery, and cute heroines who were probably a little too daring for a boys' comic at the time. All this, however, combined with the elaborate manga art, makes Bastard!! the pioneer and pinnacle of dark fantasy manga, influencing countless works that followed.
The first part of the anime, consisting of the first 13 episodes, premiered on Netflix worldwide on June 30th. The second part, with episodes 14-24, premiered on Netflix on September 15th.
Finally, the manga received several OVA adaptations in the early 90s.
