Bastard!! is a dark fantasy series that began as a manga and later debuted as an OVA in the early ’90s.

In the series’ dystopian world, the evil Dark Rebel Army plots to take control and resurrect the all-powerful Anthrasax. It all falls to wizard Dark Schneider, who’s sealed away in the body of a 14-year-old boy, to bring order to the chaos. It’s not for the faint of heart, but what great things are?
