I hope the manga will get picked back up in the West. Viz did that for JoJo’s and Fist so hopefully Bastard!! and maybe Guyver will get considered.
Is it a remake of the old one or a continuation? Either way I am looking for the return of Dark Schneider ! Love the old one even bought the dvds hope this is a bit longer with a bit more story I remember the Ice guy is the only one to not fight so he lives would love it to have a more extended version. Looks so good.
"Boo-ray Boo-raya dead. Obey your blood oath, come forth from the land of Abadon. Fire of Gehena become a fiery blast and burn everything around… EXODUS!!!
Bastard is back! SO Random
Can't wait to see who plays Avigail.

Is Bastard gonna be featured for Netflix Asia?
Some of the best news i have gotten in a long time! Big Bastard!! fan here, still have my OVA DVD, VHS and still have my Manga and posters, i have been waiting and hoping for this for a very long time! The love still burns for this fun, raw, dark and magical adventure! Bring it on! 🙂
Well, as I said, they had better keep it…METAL!
Even got the orchid seed figs on the table. Pumped ✌
Maybe, for the anime reboot, even after the trailer was released, as consultant, Hagiwara (and his current assistants, maybe) should help the studio to:
– Continue the manga's story through the anime's writing until they can have better anime-original ending.
– Break the anime as seasons, instead of being non-stop ongoing like One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, and/or Naruto, so that the studio can have more time (between seasons) to improve the manga's story and animation.
– Solve/fill the manga's plot holes with the right original stories provided by Kazushi Hagiwara and people who loved/cared about the manga.
– Fix the names for the sake of wider audience or respecting copyrights (why not).
– Reinvent characters along with their origins, arcs, and/or motivations, without betraying the manga fans (for example, Lushe, as Dark Schneider, has the same dream with Yoko, but this time, the nightmare turns on him, like the whole world turns on him for being trampled by him. After then, Lushe from chapter 1 regains old memories earlier as Dark Schneider after waking up, and acts more like one, which changes his life and everyone's perceptions around him even more. After regaining his old memories, Lushe is no longer bumbling, whiny, and clueless kid anymore, but a normal boy/guy with mature brain who can still understand better about any situation that happens around him and can deal with it by using his head, even without having his old powers as Dark Schneider).
– Replace our real world as main setting with alternate (formerly futuristic) planet that is similar but also different.
– Remake Christian characters as more different deities that are also inspired by real life myths or histories (Norse, Greek, Chinese, or whatever, but Norse myth could be the most fitting)
– Fix/rewrite the adult contents to be more tame or understandable than annoying.
– Explore more about main conflicts (men vs gods, good vs evil, truth vs lies, science vs nature, power vs weakness, love vs hate, forgiveness vs revenge, magic vs religion, law vs crime, angels vs devils, fidelity vs infidelity, purity vs corruption, courage vs cowardice, or whatever).
OMG YES! Taniyama-san said it best. This is the perfect time for Dark Schneider to return. The VA casting for this sounds perfect for these iconic characters. I missed out on the Manga and saw the 90s OAV and wished it had continued. I hope we get english reprints of the Manga.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
Omg its great to see them talk with such intent and appreciation for the anime. I am really looking forward to it!!
Please dont make us disappointed!
Very excited!! Cant wait to watch the anime! 🙂
It seems like everybody is putting a lot of love and passion on this anime, I'm very excited, can't wait to see it.
BASTARD!! is one of my all time favourite manga from my early otaku days, I'm extra hyped.
Thank you a lot Netflix and everybody involved. Arigatou gozaimasu!.
6月30日シーズン1予定ですねー。Netflixの新着予定に載りました。
Once again an old anime was trashed.. just nope.
I love event panels like this – would be great to see more! Cracking up at who actually was cast as Di Amon and had the same reaction – Of Course!
Will it have an anime original ending?
