Dec 29, 2014 HelghastKillzone Recommended Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis, by all accounts, should have been a completely forgettable and mediocre show having the pretense of being a teaser anime for Cygames and their mobile card game. The source material has the plot of a piece of cardboard and is little more than a collection of conceptual artwork. With all those things in mind, Studio MAPPA rises to the challenge and completely shatters my non-existent expectations as they set the standard for a promotional show. Taking place within a fantasy setting where the combined efforts of mankind, gods and demons have successfully sealed away the world-destroying Bahamut, the world of ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 30, 2014 GeeksOasis Recommended In depth review #2 - Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis Shingeki no Bahamut was exactly what i wanted it to be. An epic battle fantasy anime with good characters and a unique universe that blended everything together. And DRAGONS, beautifully animated hardcore FUCKING DRAGONS! Most shows with dragons in it makes their dragons look like shitty play-doh statues but this show did i right. All you need to do is see the first scene of the show and you'll know what I'm talking about. If there are any gamers reading this, imagine the game Darksiders mixed with the opening cinematic trailer of Final Fantasy XIV and that ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 29, 2014 Stark700 Recommended If the word ‘adventure’ is part of your daily vocabulary, then Shingeki no Bahamut is definitely something to consider watching. Based off a card game franchise, the series takes place in some sort of alternate medieval universe starring a group of young adventurers. The catch though is that the story is clouded by a dark past relating to a source of power threatening to destroy the world. That source (known as the Bahamut) was sealed away some 2000 years ago but has recently been broken and split into two in the form of keys. A cat and mouse-like game ensures now as to find the ...

Mar 16, 2015 Vanelius Recommended First, I have to say that this is one of the best anime I've ever watched... It starts with the fact that it contains more than one mythological belief (Gods, Evil, Dragons, Legendary Heroes...) and further more they are fused in one story, when I read the synopsis, I thought that this is another anime with cliches about gods, humans, and evil fighting and shit, but then I was so glad I watched the first episode cause the characters were so good actually and since the beginning there was major events in the story. Second, the plot is good, I mean, combining stories already known and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 4, 2015 Link_of_Hyrule Recommended **SPOILER FREE REVIEW** Every now and then, an anime comes along that is so remarkably charming, entertaining, and fun that you just completely forget about the rest of its flaws. Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis, is the epitome of this kind of anime. It’s 100% “rule of cool”; a million things are going on at the same time, ridiculous amounts of insanity are crammed into short intervals of time, the characters and plot events are totally over the top, and yet all you can do is smile while watching it. SnB is undoubtedly the pleasant surprise of the season, considering that it’s based on, of all things, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 19, 2015 GenesisCore93 Recommended Story: 8/10 I like the story because it was like something typical, something cliche at the start, but later, by watching, you realize that it's going away from this cliche like story and gets actually a really nice short story with some mythology influence in it, many monsters, magic and fantasy. Maybe it was a bit too short, maybe they just rushed it a bit...maybe making 25 episodes would made the anime better, but only maybe, who knows. Characters: 7/10 Oh god, there are characters i really hated at the start, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 10, 2015 Cosmicblaze454 Recommended Another anime that prove MAPPA’s technical capability, after the success of Zankyou no Terror. We received another amazing anime. So let’s start. Bahamut starts with the most enthralling beginning that makes us all excited. We get the usual adventure-slash-fantasy vibe executed in the best way possible. But the problem is, as we get closer to the midway of the show, the mood of the show toned down. I now realized that Bahamut is becoming more boring and dull. It is losing its charm. It becomes less entertaining. For the reason, that Bahamut is not even “trying”. It is not that ambitious of a work to become ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 29, 2014 truffles40 Recommended Here are the three things that made this anime so wonderful: 1) It created the sense that the world was expansive and filled with mystery and potential adventure, which is something that many other anime have tried to do and failed miserably at. 2) The characters (for the most part) weren't cutouts of what is so easy to find in anime. The main character, Favaro, was intelligent and adroit, but he wasn't without his faults. He wasn't just some guy that was fighting for peace for no other reason than peace. He has more depth than that, he can be selfish and cold, as ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 29, 2014 bardanime Recommended Bahamut, a feared silver dragon, has been inert for two thousand years thanks the gods, humans and demons managed to win him. To keep him away of the world gods and demons have a seal they keep in their worlds. One day a girl call Amira who only knows she has to find her mother on a land called Helheim arrives to Earth, she brings a amulet which is damaged and she can’t go there, but one night in a tavern she hears a bounty hunter called Favaro saying he’s going to Helheim and he knows an short cut. Amira proposes Favaro a deal who accepts ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 6, 2015 BanjoTheBear Recommended (This has been adapted from my reddit thread) One of history's defining features is the men and women who were willing to take a chance. Concepts such as traversing the Atlantic for colonization, migrating across the western half of North America, or scouting Europe for a new trade route sound fantastical. During the "Age of Discovery," embarking on an adventure was the norm, with riches and prospects the rewards. Nowadays, an "adventure" usually consists of driving the car to the local toy store. But suppose an opportunity presented itself. Would you shy away from what lie before you, or would you follow your destiny? As Shingeki ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 3, 2015 iamsulu Recommended Shingeki No Bahamut: Genesis/ Rage of Bahamut: Genesis Spoiler Free Review First I would like to state that prior to watching this series I had no idea that it was intended to be a promotional series for a mobile card game, however, taking that into account it only adds to my appreciation for the series. I will sometimes just abbreviate the series as SBG to keep things simple, and I will be breaking down this review into a few components: Story, Art/Animation, Sound, Character and overall feelings. SBG is a series I had high hopes for and was waiting in anticipation to finish. I took up the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 29, 2014 emberreviews Recommended It's always rather interesting to see what sort of direction a new animation studio takes. Being fresh onto the anime landscape gives you a ton of options to choose from. Will you take the easy path of cute girls and slice of life, or will it be the hard road of heavy action and grandly designed set pieces? As of now, after the three main titles from our latest studio to be born, I'm very happy to say that Studio MAPPA has chosen to take the high road, and the possibilities for their future are ...

Jan 4, 2015 TheAzureSky Recommended A fun, action fantasy adventure with gorgeous visuals and a charming cast. ★★★★ Rage of Bahamut isn’t the most amazing or original show out there, but it’s without a doubt thoroughly enjoyable. It doesn’t try to be deep or complex. It has a Pirates of the Caribbean feel of fun and adventure. It’s a story about a bounty hunter helping a girl get to her destination, but they get swept up in the bigger picture involving humans, angels, demons, and a world destroying dragon. The first thing you’ll notice about Bahamut is it’s a very good looking show. The fantasy setting is a breath of fresh air from ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 15, 2015 LoosGuccreen Recommended Okay so it's a pretty terrible show. The scenario is uninteresting as fuck (it's basically Diablo 3), the characters are full cliché, the universe has been seen a thousand time. But OH. MY. GOD. THIS. ANIMATION. It's like the creator of the card game went to MAPPA with a bag of gold without having any idea of how much an anime cost normally and asked them ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 30, 2014 Harrymanhunter Recommended Having randomly stumbled upon this Anime, I didn't know what I'd get. All I knew about it was that it was a Fantasy Anime, which I've seen a lot. So I thought it'd be some generic Anime which I'd forget about in a heartbeat. But I'm happy to say that that's not the case here. So, on to my review. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 4, 2015 BlobbertMcN Recommended Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis is a surprising gem that does not deserve to be nearly as good as it is. Coming from the still very young studio MAPPA, with a director that has directed nothing particulary of note except Tiger and Bunny, and based on a card battle game for mobile devices - I would not have been surprised in the least if it was mediocre. But obviously, from my first sentence, it certainly wasn't. ~~STORY~~ Read more Open Gift Report

Jan 4, 2015 Meowsorz Recommended Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis is easily the top-dog of 2014. And it's based off of a card game to boot. I'm very critical when it comes to anime, and I've never given out a 10/10 because nothing seemed worthy of it. Most animes I say barely go into 6 or 7 territory. This anime came insanely close to being my first 10/10. Every episode starts off with so much energy that it just makes you excited and keeps you watching. I was amazed the show could keep itself in check story wise due to the large scale world it presented. From start to finish, it ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 31, 2014 summerlights Recommended FAVARO! alright - now thats out of the way, Shingeki no Bahamut is one of the amazing animes of 2014.

Jan 20, 2015 Mordresh Recommended Review about Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis When I first stumbled upon Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis I was on the lookout for a series reminiscent of Berserk or Claymore: a mature medieval adventure with demons, magic and knights. SnB did not disappoint me at all. While it's lighter than both aforementioned titles, I found it much more entertaining. Let me start by praising the art. One word: SUPERB. Everything is extremely detailed, from the landscapes to the characters, their abilities and their design. You can tell this anime has a high budget from the get-go. The main idea is fairly simple. Bahamut, a metallic-looking dragon, is a seemingly unstoppable ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
