If you are an anime lover itching to take a dive into a show that is unapologetically sexy, and full of sword and sorcery, heavy metal, alternate worlds, and fantasy, then Netflix's latest offering Bastard!!: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy has got you covered.
The show follows a wizard named Dark Schneider who is resurrected to save the kingdom of Metallicana (most of the names are heavy metal themed) from the God of Destruction, Anthrasax.
Let's see what anime lovers have to say about this series:
1.I hope that some of you binge-watched this on July 4th.
If you haven't watched #Bastard on #Netflix do yourself a favor and check it out.
2.An anime so amazing that some viewers are now exploring its manga.
Netflix Bastard was a ton of fun, I enjoyed the first half more than the second but it got me interested enough to check out the manga. Major Guilty Gear vibes.
3.Netflix: How many reasons do you need to watch Bastard!!? Viewers: Yes.
Bastard is basically anime porn. Does it make sense? No.Will I keep watching? Yes.I'm so entertained and need a season 2 #BastardNetflix. I love Dark Schneider. He is a wreck.
4.Bastard!! is an engrossing and entertaining wild ride of an anime.
Finished watching Bastard anime on Netflix, and I had so much fun watching it 😄It's been an extremely long time since I watched an anime that had the same vibe as High School DxD and was self aware.Also has a BANGER of an opening & ending! 🙌🏻
5.Even Netflix's haters can't stop loving Bastard!!.
Netflix sucks.Bastard!! on the other hand doesn't. First season was a fucking blast. Just balls to the wall heavy metal murder. I fucking loved it.
6.An interesting trivia about one of the characters.
Apparently, bastard's immortal vampire count di-amon is based on real life heavy metal artist, king diamond. Only with a slight tweak to the name, it became something absolutely badass. Now you know why i love the netflix anime series so much.
7.Well, porn or not, it's damn well entertaining.

“Wow. Bastard on Netflix was amazing.”“Liden actually did a good job.””“It’s so gory and vulgar.”“Dark Schneider the GOAT MC.”Me:
15.Fans are hoping that more and more people watch this so that Netflix renews it.
I need y’all to watch Bastard!! So Netflix don’t just give me one season of this heavy metal pervert anime.
16.For those who don't get the reference: Inuyasha is another very popular anime.
Whoever casted Inuyasha's actor to voice Dark Schneider in the Indonesian dub of Bastard!! must be on to something
17.Bastard!! has a very primal approach to telling its story.
Finished BASTARD!! last night and that's a very good unapologetic anime "This is a kid's comic who would bother with foreshadowing""It's so huge, it shakes hand with my belly button!"Never too late to see a character like Dark Schneider aka The Ultimate Handsome Hero
18.Dark Schneider is FUNNY!
Dark Schneider's laugh is Something Ellllllllsssssseeeeeee😏😏😏😏😭😍😂😂😂😂😂😂❤!!!!!!!!! He's so funny!!!! #bastard #DarkSchneider
19.Some much needed appreciation for people behind the scenes.
