(L) Shingeki no Bahamut ~Virgin Soul~ (S2)

[Dysprosium]

Synopsis (of S1):

Via ANN:

Mistarcia is a magical world where humans, gods, and demons mingle together. In the past, the black-and-silver winged Bahamut has threatened to destroy the land, but humans, gods, and demons overcame their differences to fight together and seal its power. The key to that seal was split in two, one half given to the gods and the other to demons, so that they would never be united and Bahamut never released. Now, two thousand years later, the world is in an era of peace - until the day a woman steals the gods' half of the key.

Episode 1

Spoiler for episode 1:

Holy red dragon, Batman! Don't ever let this girl find out about Johnny's.

This was pretty much a "let's pick up where we left off 10 years ago, oh and these are the new characters" episode, not much in the way of plot, more worldbuilding and new character introduction. Less tight and well-structured than the first ep of season 1, but I guess that was to be expected, with new characters to introduce, and the old ones in new situations.

Nina is cute, although her voice acting felt a little off at times, maybe the seiyuu was still trying to "find" the role.
Charioce is... well, not particularly exciting so far, but he's one of the main characters so I'm sure there will be more to him than we've seen so far.
Kaisar is Kaisar and I love him. Also he needs to meet up with Favaro soon.
Azazel is now a Masked Hero of Demon Justice, protecting poor oppressed demons from evil humans with the help of some shota sidekick. I never expected this, but I'm happy that he's around.
And then there was Rita!
No Favaro so far, I guess they're saving him for episode 2 or 3.

This was very promising and 24 episodes makes me quite happy. Don't mind the cg if it means we can have more consistent animation than the first season. Nina is a great heroine, but the poor girl will have a lot of troubles with all the bishounen around.

[Stark700]

Really nice to see this show return.

The first episode didn't waste much time getting right to the point either with the action and magical elements. Nina (the new girl) is cute. A bit girly in some ways but I think she has a charm to her character.

Glad to see characters from the previous season return too like Kaisar and Rita. I hope to see others too but this definitely got me back into the franchise's vibe again.

Nina........

Hate to see how a town would survive her dating!

Better yet....Who's the daddy?

[Darthtabby]

Finally, after two long years, the wait is over!

Now the wait for next week's episode begins.

Perhaps a little on the grimdark side with the new king turning on the gods and enslaving the demons, but overall this is off to an awesome start.

[SeaDoor]

It's just a game.
It's just a card game!
How do these people manage to wring such wonderful entertainment from just a silly card game?!?
Oh, I'm in for the run.

[Velsy]

Loved the first series.

Here I was thinking in the early stages of the episode, how cool if this rag demon was Favaro and he would be working in cahoots with Riza. I mean Favaro was a bounty hunter at first, however his fated meeting with Amira and 10 years could have changed things. Be kinda cool if he was against the shit thats happening now (humans attacking heaven, enslaving demons). And I relish in the stories where the hero who saved the world is declared an enemy by the humans he very much saved.

However, after hearing rag demon talk to Kaiser and the white hair, I realize this isnt the case. I know who he is now ^_~

Spoiler for His Idenity ?:

Azazel

But wow, I love dragons, and while a Red dragon as the new MC would be cool. But its apparent she goes berserk in that form and has no memory or control whatsoever. So not that impressive <.< But I wonder how this is going to be used in the story. Nice to hear its 24 episodes, but I really loved Favaro and Amira from the first series. I hope to see them again. Ending of the first series revealed Amira to still be alive. Gave me hope ^_~

Azazel being a good guy saving demon slaves

Looking great. Also nice to see 1st series characters playing an actual part in the story for now.

[Harry Dresden]

Welcome back, Show. THis was damn nice return to form if I were to say.

Nina is fun. I am still angry at Amira being used as plot device and fridged, but Nina is great anyway. Hopefully Amira will enter the picture eventually because she deserves more than what she got in S1.

Azazel being a Robin Hood freedom fighter kind of dude who saves non-humans from racist humans was fun twist. I guess it makes sense for his journey. In a way he is at fault for Bahamut and thus current state of the world


Animation wise this was just glorious. I mean there are studios like PA Works or Bones who manage to make everything look brilliant, but MAPPA is just on whole other level. Relaly nice composition and cinematography, not to mention soundtrack. Also really great job with how animated and lively Nina is - lots of attention to the details.

[SeijiSensei]

Ten years have passed and Kaisar looks exactly like he did in the first series. I can accept that Rita and Bacchus haven't aged, but Kaisar is just an ordinary human.

Nina certainly is building a harem of bishonen quickly, though I liked the mural artist the most. They're all too old for her anyway.

Looks like Kaisar will be facing a moral crisis soon with his loyalty to his king placed on the line. Somehow I'm guessing Favaro will intervene and help Kaisar resolve things, but we'll see.

Dragons who can change into human women are apparently the new thing in anime. Maybe Tohru will make a cameo appearance after she finishes cleaning Kobayashi's apartment.

Miyano Mamoru should have more roles like that guy...

Yep, i really liked the animation used in the Red Dragon. That firebreath was sick! And Nina is amazing and it looks like she will be a fun MC to follow. A meeting between her and Favaro would be epic..lol

I'm also extremelly happy this season will have 24 episodes. I felt season 1 was way too condensed with almost no time for the fights. I guess that will no longer be a problem now. With such cool animation and OST, nice characters and an interesting fantasy plot, this anime has everything to be one of my favorites in this season. Hype!

[Endscape]

Really happy to hear that this is going to have 24 episodes, since the only problem I had with the first season was that it was too short.

This was definitely one of the better first episodes I've seen, it felt twice as long as it actually was, in a good way.

Nina looks like a great MC so far, and Vigilante Azazel is sure to be entertaining.
