It is big, dumb fun in the vein of a great Hollywood blockbuster. It doesn’t re-invent the wheel, but polishes it with so much shine and gloss that it is simply a better wheel than most.
Rage of bahamut lucifer sd series#
This is a classic-style adventure with action set pieces galore, but that is also what makes this series so good. Rage of Bahamut: Genesis doesn’t exactly do anything new. Now everyone in the whole world, whether gods, demons, and humans, are after them. That contract takes the form of a demonic tail: something Favaro cannot get rid of until the contract is fulfilled. Favaro, being a shameless womanizer, pretends he knows where the city is, only to be locked into a contract with Amira, who is actually a renegade demon that has stolen half of the key that would unseal Bahamut.
However, during yet another day of being relentlessly pursued by Kaisar, Favaro encounters an odd girl named Amira, who demands to be taken to a city named Helheim. Favaro Leone, a bounty hunter, is being chased by a pompous ex-knight named Kaisar Lidfald who blames Favaro for his fall of grace. It ends with Bahamut being sealed away before we warp two thousand years into the future, with a seemingly unrelated plot kicking off. The story kicks off with a bang as a human king witnesses a climactic battle between the titular malicious dragon facing down a reluctant alliance between Zeus and Satan for the fate of the world. What MAPPA, director Keiichi Sato and series compositor Keiichi Hasegawa did take the background information of the mobile game and bring it to the forefront to create an entirely new story, while throwing out the mechanics of the card game completely. Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the Greek underworld, has become a little girl with malicious puppy dog sock puppets yelling out their agreements and disagreements with her.Īnd yet, Rage of Bahamut: Genesis somehow works. Jeanne D’Arc exists with magical powers that put Harry Potter to shame. Beelzebub, Satan, and Lucifer are different entities. This is a series where the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel (the latter three gender-swapped into women) are serving the god Zeus. Rage of Bahamut: Genesis also throws together various elements of fantasy, history, and legend together seemingly willy-nilly, and often with strange alterations.
The success in its native country guaranteed an anime tie-in to further promote the property sooner or later, even though video game adaptations, particularly ones of mobile games, are not known on either side of the Pacific for their quality. Rage of Bahamut: Genesis is based on a mobile social card game that has been a fairly sizable hit in Japan, but barely penetrated US shores and obtained mediocre-to-bad critical reviews.
