Dark Schneider is the Bastard!!! A lone warlock, freed from years of imprisonment, stands against an army of destruction bent on world conquest and the resurrection of an ancient evil. But Dark Schneider is not protecting the desperate people of Meta-Rikana out of the goodness of his heart. After all, they were the ones who imprisoned him for leading this same army against their city the first time! However, he's not about to let his old army, his old generals, and his ex-girlfriend show him up. Besides, his new girlfriend is counting on him, and it's been a while since he had some fun... (official distributor synopsis)

Bastard!! is stupid and incredibly over-the-top; however, it is a lot of good fun at the same time. Bastard!! is a dark fantasy with a dark main male protagonist with so many illogicalities and holes that you should be annoyed by them. However, this is a fantasy adventure; there is some mystery, magic, swordplay, and many classic lines like "I have a bad feeling about this place." There are a few unbelievable twists, some incredibly stupid dialogues, and tons of old-school fan service from the days when fan service still made sense. The final impression I have is the same as the reviewer Bounded wrote: "even though I know it was stupid, ...damn, I liked it". 7.5/10.

The more revealing, the better. The more beautiful, the more immortal. A lot of magic, especially the ones where they do the lighting effects and then BOOM :-D It was all kind of embarrassingly awkward... I don't know, was this supposed to be a parody? I thought a bit at the beginning (for about the first two episodes) that they were making people look even more stupid than they are :-D This OVA is not right. This OVA and its creators should be locked up in Bohnice Mental Hospital for at least 20 years of observation ;-) Although all this was probably caused by the terrible English dubbing, which almost tore me to pieces at first...
