Bastard!! - Complete Boxed Set (DVD, 2001)

Bastard and 4 evil wizards want to rule the world. Bastard, their leader is defeated (pre-series) and thought dead. Is he? Or is he imprisoned as a different being waiting to be awoken at the right time by the right person. The series begins with the right time and person awakening Bastard. Of course, his 4 friends are used to Bastard's being gone and now they have their own plans for domination. Bastard is no longer part of their plans. Thus, he automatically is their enemy. Some what reluctantly and influenced by the person that awakened him Bastard combats the 4 evil wizards on behave of the populus that had previously imprisoned him. Bastard is conflicted by his emotions, the old good versus evil. No real plot killer, when I say the good in Bastard prevails. Some nice battles between Bastard and the other wizards. Worth watching.

A truly fantastic series, the only complaint I really have is that it's so short. I would love to see a continuation of Bastard!! in the future. The animation seems so ahead of it's time for being from 1992. It's extremely impressive, almost modern in the art style. It might have pioneered our modern style today. Great series, a must-see.

He's a warlock who wans to take over the world, nd finds the people who once helped him now want to kill him, watch and be amazed is all that can really be said
