Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy Season 1 Part 2 will be released in 2022

Bastard: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy Season 1 Part 2

The good news is that Bastard: Heavy Metal and Dark Fantasy will be back for more content later this year. However, fans should note that this will actually be Part 1 of Season 1, not an entirely new second season.

Back in March 2022, a Japanese news outlet Comedy Natalie He shared the first report of the additional voice cast and confirmed that the first season will be split between two parts, with the second set to be released before the end of 2022.

“ANIME DISTRIBUTION” BASTARD!!! “, written by Kazuyoshi Hagiwara, will begin on June 30. – The first half, episodes 1 through 13, will be available on Netflix from June 30, and the second half, episodes 14 through 24, will be delivered by the end of 2022.” — Comedy Natalie.

Unfortunately, an exact release date for the season of Bastard Part Two (episodes 14-24) has not been shared by Netflix or the show makers at Liden Films. However, fans of the new anime series can expect the remaining episodes to be released sometime before September 2022 – based on the typical wait for a Netflix series with split releases.

Bastard: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy renewal chances for a second season

With the release of the second part of the first season later this year, it is likely due to fans requesting whether or not Bastard will return for the second season in 2023.

On the other hand, a lot of source material from the original manga series is left to be adapted for more anime content. If the current pace is to last, there could be up to three full seasons of a 2022 reboot – but its continuation depends on its audience.

A Netflix series always depends on how many views it can gain, both domestically in Japan and internationally, but ratings and ratings can also play a major role. Interestingly, while it’s still too early to say how fans are watching the new reboot, it’s definitely a mixed bag so far.

The series scores 8.2/10 in IMDB and 7.04/10 in Anime list, but these ratings are of a very small sample size with only one day since the world premiere. Critics’ reviews were also mixed with ReadySteadyCut He described it as “a very sexy anime with old scenes” and Leisure Give it a 3.5/5.

Overall, if Bastard can continue to gain a positive reputation and take the story to new heights in the first part of Season 1, fans can expect more Dark Schneider content to be produced.

Rage and attack vs date bastard

Bastard: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy is an anime series that needs fans to understand when and where the story originally came from.

It’s certainly not a series that everyone would enjoy if they naturally found it on Netflix, but spending just five minutes researching themes, audiences, and histories can make a huge difference.

There are indeed very sexual and uncomfortable scenes/themes of women with “old opinions” as the critics’ reviews mentioned above said; However, that’s exactly what Bastard is – it’s an R (18+) rated series that was originally coined in 1988.

Liden Films has been fairly consistent with sticking to the original script, something that has earned praise from fans, but that naturally means there will be very little of what modern audiences consider ‘politically correct’.

Despite that, it’s an R (18+) series for a reason: yes, it’s sexist; Yes, it is Ichi; Yes, it is inconvenient to watch it; And yes, he’s supposed to be abusive – at the end of the day he’s called Bastard for a reason.

Anime fans on Netflix may have become too accustomed to family-friendly series to streaming platforms, making any show that dares go to R-18 an instant hold. The show will be, for better or worse, very popular among its target audience, but it won’t bring the “new” audiences that fans might expect when they first run Bastard.
