Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis aka Rage of Bahamut: Genesis is a breathtaking fable about friendship betrayal demons Gods some unknown creatures and repentance. While it is not flawless I believe that this series is worth your free time. Not only the animation but also the beautifully written storyline will make your viewing unforgettable. Rage of Bahamut will tell you a story where angels demons and humans have no other choice but to fight together against even a greater evil Bahamut. The story of Rage of Bahamut: Genesis takes place in an alternative world where humans demons and angels coexist and are even at war with each other. However one day the blackandsilver winged Bahamut makes demons and angels cooperate and seal it. This creature is so strong that only Zeus and Satan are able to seal it. Alack even they are powerless and the both Lords are forced to sacrifice their lives to seal Bahamut. The key to that seal is split in two: one half is given to the Gods and the other to demons. The both Lords are now dead and no one can imagine what demons and the Gods will do. After two thousand years a human woman steals the gods half of the key and the peace is destroyed. Who is that mysterious woman and what is she trying to achieve? Find the answer by watching Rage of Bahamut: Genesis. While the story is not something new for the anime world: someone steals something they find friends and are trying to overcome all the difficulties together the story of this anime is still very interesting to follow. Some events are easy to foresee but the most important ones however are not. I guess it is always pleasant to find an anime that will be able to amaze you and this series can do that. On top of that I would like to note that the story is very understandable every important thing about it is explained and I cannot name you even one obvious flaw. Yes the only obvious flaw of the story is that there should be a new season that will be able to conclude the story and this new season has already been announced by the way. The art of Rage of Bahamut: Genesis is controversial. On the one hand the animation seems very westerninfluenced which in some cases might be a one huge disadvantage. However on the other hand this series succeeds in presenting its animation it even does not spare neither strength nor resources on its OP and ED themes showing that yes we even have enough money for that. Character designs a huge variety of spells creatures all of them are just so beautiful that you want to see more and more. If it is a demon then it is dark and horrific. If it is an angel then it is beautiful and majestic. If it is an undead then it is frightening and disgusting. Anyways you can watch the opening theme of this anime and you will immediately understand how beautiful this anime is. The music is worthy as well. I would not say that I am a big fan of the music that is shown in the opening theme but at the same time it fits this anime well. The ending theme also brings the feeling of a closure helping you to relax. Other music pieces included in the OST are also on the level however the only noticeable flaw is that there should have been more tracks. Anyways it is not even something that I would call a flaw. The voice cast of this series is also another reason for you to watch this anime. While I believe that the Japanese cast did a better job you can watch it in English if you are not a fan of Japanese voice actors. The characters of this series are all interesting to follow: be it a supporting character or a protagonist they all receive enough development. Of course it is an open secret that the main protagonists receive more development but it is always pleasant to find a series that even pays enough attention to its supporting characters. Anyways the anime mostly revolves around Favaro Leone and Kaisar Lidfard. They are amazing At first what they do and what they are trying to achieve is unclear and you only think that this series is just some ridiculous comedy. But as the series progresses you find out more and more about the two and from being funny Rage of Bahamut: Genesis becomes even more dramatic than funny or actionoriented. The other two main cast members Amira and Rita are less entertaining than the male duo but they complement them making them one single unit. Separately the cast members are weak and uninteresting but together they are very interesting to follow. All in all Rage of Bahamut: Genesis seems to be more a long running Hollywood movie than anything else. It is surprising that this anime adapts a mobile game. You can rarely find a good PS anime adaptation but Bahamut is just a mobile game adaptation and it is very good. The series manages to keep you entertained leaving you absolutely no time to yawn or to relax. Yes at some point it loses its pace and becomes less actionoriented however later episodes compensate well for it. Anyways if the new season which has already been announced does not spoil the reputation of the first season and if it reworks all problems of the first season becoming even better than the previous one I am more than sure that Rage of Bahamut will become one of these must buy anime. Anyways I cannot even think of one reason that will make you dislike this anime. I would highly recommend it to everyone be you a male or a female a teenager or an adult. Even if you want to watch it with your parents or with your girlfriend this series will definitely not disappoint you. I hope you will enjoy Rage of Bahamut: Genesis.
