Netflix hasn’t been afraid to experiment with diverse anime offerings, so it was only a matter of time before it stepped into Dark and adult fantasy content with the original net animation of Bastard Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy.
Bastard tells the story of a future fantasy world wherein human civilization has advanced, but the demon god of destruction, Anthrasax, destroyed the world due to its evil nature.
Four hundred years later, the dark wizard or magician Dark Schneider who was on a quest for world domination to have all the women of the world for himself, was sealed away.
He was reincarnated into the boy Lucian of the kingdom and raised as the adopted brother of the priestess Tiannoto Yoko.
Her father, Gio Tauntia, had the spell to release dark Schneider from Lucian if there was a life of their death situation for Tia or the kingdom in general.
It just so happens that that time is 14 years later as the dark rebel army led by the four divine kings and the former disciples of Dark Schneider himself have a quest to conquer the world.
The spell to release Dark Schneider from Lucian must end with a kiss from a virgin, and the problem that comes up for Dark Schneider is that another kiss from a virgin will send him right back into Lucian’s body.
