I'm really looking forward to the new adaptation of the Bastard!!: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy manga that's coming to Netflix. I have to admit not being very familiar with the source material, nor have I seen the previous anime adaptations, but this looks pretty good.
The premise is a bit Hour of the Dragonish, a Kingdom decides to summon a sorcerer, Dark Schneider, from the past to aide them in the present.

Bastard! was an adapted into OVAs in the early 90s and sometimes they pop-up on Youtube . The original manga has a long ongoing history of delays, hiatus and censorship, because o that the author strugles to get it published but he decided to remake his entire manga, its relly wierd that Netflix is the one who revives the series but hopefully it would be great because as the subtite suggets "A heavy Metal Fantasy" its that an over the top heavy metal cover like, dark fantasy story. |

I've heard longtime fans are hoping the anime will give them an ending at some point.

Watched the first episode last night, loved it. I recommend this post-apocalyptic s&s anime to anyone on this board.

I have already watched the first 6 episodes, its not censor or anything, respects the original manga in almost every way.

I haven't seen an anime that has this look since the 90s. The women are all busty and the violence is right where it needs to be. I hope this keeps going.

Its the less Netflix thing that Netflix has ever done I think someone licensed this from Warner Bros Japan under the radar when the higherups weren't paying attention  Hopefully it's popular enough for the mangaka to work up the energy to continue the manga or come up with an ending. I've read a few manga in my day and can't imagine any of those series just stopping. Sadly Berserk did, but the team published a few new chapters a couple weeks back, so they are carrying on Miura's legacy as best they can. |

Yeah, they seems to make a long term deal about it, hopefully this could bring good shows, also I hear that Netflix cancelled a lot of animation projects but invest in more anime licenses |

I am a few episodes into the new cour. It's not wowing me like the first did but I'm still liking the approach they're taking.
I like how the characters seem to almost know they're in an anime, talking about Shonen manga, etc.
