While not as monstrously popular as that other Shingeki series, Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis (in English Rage of Bahamut: Genesis) holds its own. The series first aired from October 2014 to December 2014 and surprised many anime viewers by its sharp animation and fast pace especially as a show based on a Japanese battle card game.
Brought to life by director Keiichi Sato (Tiger & Bunny) and writer Keiichi Hasegawa (Astro Boy), Shingeki no Bahamut bursts with energy and zeal against a cinematic score written by Yoshihiro Ike (Tiger & Bunny, Ergo Proxy). For fans of Tiger & Bunny, this series has an air reminiscent of the series since Shingeki no Bahamut reunites may of the voice actors such as Barnaby Brook Jr. Morita Morikazu and staff like director Sato from the series.
Shingeki no Bahamut takes place in Mistarcia, a world where magic is real and humans, gods, and demons coexist. Two thousand years before the series takes place, Bahamut, a terrifying winged monster, threatened to obliterate the world. Faced with destruction, gods, demons, and humans joined forces to seal Bahamut. The key for the seal was divided into two, one-half for the gods and the other half to the demons. While the world is at peace when the series begins, this peace is soon disturbed when Amira steals the god’s half of the key.
Starting April 2017, the second season of this series titled Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul will hit the airwaves. In anticipation for the coming second season, the following is a character overview for those who need a quick refresher on who’s who of the main characters. Be warned! There will, of course, be spoilers!
