"Bastard!!" Is a rare sight to see on Netflix, yet it's a breath of fresh air at the same time. In a move against their painfully "woke" content as of late, "Bastard!!" Takes the edgy harem anime and mixes it with the dark fantasy genre, which sometimes comes off as a little confused. Still, it's a pleasant mix of gore, humor, and intriguing "ecchi" (or sexiness) that can feel contrived at times. All in all, it's a fun anime that panders to a crowd not hung up on strange ideologies who just want to enjoy some anime without it being censored into oblivion. That said, the show is strangely frightened of nipples, as the occasional bare breasts look like the female equivalent of a mannequin, while the main male character has at least some semblance of nipples. If the creators could have found a solid through line, Bastard could've easily been a 10/10.
