Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy, based on the eighties manga of the same name Bastard!!, BASTARD!! 暗黒の破壊神 Original Run August 25, 1992 - June 25, 1993. Highly influenced by Dungeons and Dragons and a lot of Heavy Metal influence. This is an epic fantasy! Like one of the most successful manga series of all time. So it isn’t surprising this anime has gotten its grubby mitts on the popular source material, but what is shocking though is how they haven’t updated the classic for a modern audience. like a lot of 90s animes:Yu Yu Hakusho, Slayers, Berserk. This anime is a great show to me.
