Warner Bros. Japan debuted the second English-subtitled trailer for the second part of Bastard!! -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy- anime, which is an adaption of the classic action manga by Kazushi Hagiwara. The second cour of the anime, which consists of 14th to 24th episodes will start streaming on Netflix on September 15.
Bastard!!’s history is about sorcery, revenge, and other power struggles in Dungeons & Dragons–like the world. It is a dystopian world, where people need magic to survive against wild beasts and evil monsters. There are four kingdoms, each one the protector of one of the four seals that keep the God of Destruction in stasis.
The story begins with the Kingdom of Metallicana being attacked by the Four Lords of Havoc. This prompts the high priest to ask his daughter to awaken Dark Schneider, a wizard and former leader of the Riders, from within the body of 14-year-old Luche Renren.
