completely forgot about this series!!! p Hab die Reihe früher mal angelesen und jetzt günstig über bekannte Gebrauchtbuchseiten ergattern können, Versuche sie jetzt zu beenden,
Mir gefällt der Zeichenstil, ich kann auch die Charakter gut auseinander halten, was mich oft bei Mangas stört, da oft die Charas ziemlich gleich aussehen.
Die Handlung ist teilweise ein wenig brutal und auch ein wenig schlüpfrig, machohaft, leicht ins erotische, da der Magier Dark Schneider, ein ziemlich Frauenheld ist, Besonder gelungen finde ich bei diesem MAnga die spärlichen Autorenkommentare, die wirklich mal witzig und sinnvoll sind, All series Empezó muy divertida y se estiró hasta quedar en nada, . . En serio, algunos tomos estaban llenos de imágenes sanguinolentas que no contaban absolutamente nada y no añadían absolutamente nada a la historia, Pero, como ya digo, en un principio todo prometía mucha acción y muchas risas, Es una lástima que se quedara a medias, Talk about a visitor overstaying his welcome This manga would be great if it didnt do the same blunder most shounen do, Drag things unnecessarily.
Bastard double exclamation points is an epic fantasy series, which continues every time the mangaka feels like it, That is why its been overyears the story began and it still is not finished, A thing that shows in the art, as it turns a lot more computerized and mature after the big timeskip, It felt kinda alienating but nothing too bad,
ART SECTION:
The general artwork is superb as both characters and backgrounds are very detailed and the action scenes are simply out of this world.
The setting is a blend of medieval and scifi and that makes things very interesting as a concept, It feels a lot like playingnd edition DampD in a post apocalyptic setting,
The characters are drawn in quite the stereotypical way, with males being muscular machos and women being lust incarnated, with as little clothes as possible, Clothing is generally over the top, with impossibly huge shoulder pads and gizmos as decorations that are mostly for show and fan service rather than practical, And for some reason, they regenerate along with their owners, so out of nowhere naked people grow a new set of clothes, lol,
A thing that makes this series special is the rock and metal tributes, Almost every name, spell and area is named after rock and metal bands or famous singers, So it is quite hilarious to see things such as a three headed hydra named ManOWar or a spell called Exodus, Part of the fan service as well I guess,
The action is quite brutal and epic to the point of literally having spells powerful enough to turn entire mountains to dust and human limbs to mince meat.
It has some really gore moments in it, as well as some rather bold nude and soft sex scenes, Nothing is taken too seriously though, as there are quite a lot of comedic moments that ease the grim atmosphere, the heroes can regenerate even if they have been blown to a million pieces and there is never actual sex in it.
Still, the violence and the profanity are quite high and inappropriate for ages below,
As the story progresses, the action scenes and the scenery become more and more psychedelic, to the point where the latest volumes are non stop action in an Alienslike environment, where it is hard to distinguish organic from inorganic.
Quite cool but it becomes too gross and bizarre for my tastes,
STORY SECTION:
The story never takes itself too seriously and mostly goes for macho battles and soft porn, It is not bad but it did become repetitive and tiresome and it made me lose interest in it,
The main story is at first about powerful warriors and wizards gathering seals in order to unleash a demon lord that destroyed most of the world in the past our present that is and recreate the world as they see fit.
The good guys end up freeing their leader, Dark Schneider, as he is the only one powerful enough to stop them, The thing is, D. S. is more dangerous than the evil generals themselves, It is not exactly original or complicating but it is not totally clichéd either, D. S. is trapped for a long part of the story inside the body of an innocent boy and can only be freed by the kiss of a maiden, And he is horny enough to jump at every pair of boobs his eyes spot, Yeah, nice excuse for ecchi there, Also, the first main bad guy, demon lord Anthrasax, is something out of Gingers artwork, Bizarre, gross and completely chaotic evil, This creates a very dark, erotic and at times comical story that always results to battles that make even DBZ feel poor,
But at the same time it is never too grim or serious as the good guys always find some poor excuse to win and be completely healed.
No matter how much beating they get, they always survive and heal completely, It was cool the first dozen of times but then it became annoying,
The story is yet not finished and the rate the mangaka draws, it might takemore years to do so, It became too repetitive and wasted a lot of time on filler scenes and battles with unimportant villains, plus the good guys simply dont know when to die, They are currently battling demon lords and archangels but I no longer find it appealing to keep reading as it outlasted its interest, It does add more to the setting as it goes on but it progresses too slowly and most of the new stuff is not interesting,
CHARACTER SECTION:
As the title implies, every major character is a bastard with a double exclamation point, All brawn and no brains, selfish and arrogant, Women are fragile bishoujos that cant stay dressed for more thanminutes without being sexually attacked, Yet, unlike most heavydudes and useless damselsindistress in fighting series, they also have a drama behind them that gives a sensitive side to them, You almost feel they are just little immature kids with super powers, which go haywire every five minutes under the pressure of their ambition and sexual tension, The cast in this series is not original in any way, yet they seem to be an interesting mix of the best parts of the established clichés,
Dark Schneider is practically an immortal that loves to blast people to bits, like Alucard from Hellsing, Yet, he cares about his women and even allows them to hit him when they get angry, That is a lot funnier than what you can tell by simply reading it here,
They play jokes to each other and yet dont forget to mention the cruel events in their pasts that led them to this mess,
They talk like they are gods and yet they also cry and complain a few minutes later,
In all, although they are not original or realistic in any way, they have a wonderful mix of comedy and drama that overshadows almost all similar characters in other shows.
The trio of Schneider, Nel and Gara strongly reminded me of Berserks Griffith, Caska and Guts yet these guys were funny half the time and developed a lot faster.
Some more add to the group later but they all pale before them, as the story repeats too much,
ENJOYMENT SECTION:
As I said, it is a very cool and blood boiling manga that unfortunately dragged for far too long and comes out far too slow.
I see nothing left of interest in the story, as all their motives are now shown, yet the story keeps going for brainless action with bioorganic freaks and mecha clichés.
If it was more solid in its pacing and had ended already, it would have been a masterpiece, But it didnt and it now feels as silly as Bleach,
OVERALL SECTION:
Very good in the beginning but loses a lot of steam as it goes on, Intendiamoci il voto relativamente basso è dovuto semplicemente al fatto che ormai Bastard è una delle storie più sconclusionate che abbia avuto modo di leggere,
All'inizio però la trama era godibile, perfino appassionante, Solo successivamente è andata a perdersi malamente,
Discorso a parte per il disegno che, già ottimo nei primi numeri, migliora via via, arrivando a livelli veramente unici, Uno dei miei tratti preferiti, Un peccato che sia ormai vanificato da una storia non all'altezza e che probabilmente mai terminerà!, Zum Inhalt:
Jahre sind seit dem letzten Krieg vergangen und im Königreich Metallicana herrscht Frieden, Doch der wird bedroht vom finsteren Krieger Osborn, der mit seinem gewaltigen Heer vor den Mauern steht, Das Reich steht kurz vor der Zerstörung und nur der mächtige Magier Dark Schneider kann die Rettung bringen, .
Cover:
Das Cover hatte mich jetzt ehrlich gesagt nicht wirklich angesprochen, Zu sehen sind hier Dark Schneider, der sehr selbstsicher zu wirken scheint sowie das Mädchen Yoko, welche sich verzweifelt an seinem Hals versucht festzuhalten denke ich, Eine bittende Geste Man weiß es nicht, Jedenfalls fand ich den Zeichenstil jetzt nicht sonderlich ansprechend, Aber der Inhalt hat durchaus gelockt,
Eigener Eindruck:
Die Welt lagJahre in Frieden, doch nun wird die Stadt Metallicana durch den schwarzen Magier Osborn angegriffen, Mitten im Getummel befinden sind auch die Tochter des Hohepriesters Yoko und deren Adoptivbruder Luche, Einzig Yoko weiß um Luches düsteres Geheimnis, Als es hart auf hart kommt, ist sie gezwungen den Geist des schwarzen Magiers Dark Schneider frei zu setzen, welcher in Luche schlummert, Dies gelingt nur durch eine magische Formel und einen Kuss durch eine Jungfrau, Dank Dark Schneider kann der Angriff abgewendet werden, doch dieser entpuppt sich als grausam und rücksichtslos, Er eröffnet Yoko, dass er ihren Vater umbringen will und um sie zu demütigen, küsst er sie, woraufhin er sich wieder in den ahnungslosen Luche verwandelt.
Noch einmal Schwein gehabt!
Als Lord Karlo, einer derapokalyptischen Reiter, die Stadt Judas angreifen lässt, um eines derSiegel zur Erweckung des bösen Gottes Saxe zu brechen, ist Yoko gezwungen Dark Schneider wieder frei zu setzen.
Dieser versucht sogleich wieder ihren Vater zu töten, was ihm jedoch nicht gelingt, Aus Wut darüber erweckt er einen Golem, welcher plötzlich inmitten des Kampfes mit einem der Ritter der Apokalypse steht, Als der Ritter mit Schneider aneinander gerät, kommt es zu einem Kampf zwischen den Beiden, woraufhin sich Schneider wieder in die Form von Luche zurück zieht, Nachdem die restlichenReiter der Apokalypse erkennen, dass ihr ehemaliger Mitstreiter Dark Schneider wieder unter ihnen weilt, entführen sie kurzerhand Yoko, Um sie zu retten erweckt die Prinzessin der Stadt Metallicana Dark Schneider, doch dieser denkt nicht daran Yoko zu retten, . .
Die Story ist einfach der Hammer, Die Zeichnungen obwohl sie mich vom Cover her erst nicht so angesprochen hatten und die ordentliche Portion Witz machen den Manga zu einem absoluten Vorzeigewerk, Ich persönlich finde die Geschichte sehr gut gelungen und auch die spannenden Szenen sind gut umgesetzt, wenn auch teilweise sehr gewaltlastig, Es gibt eine ordentliche Portion Spannung, aber auch genug Momente, wo man einfach nur schmunzeln muss, Wirklich gut gelungen. Ich jedenfalls bin gespannt, was die anderen Teile versprechen, Bis jetzt bin ich restlos begeistert und hoffe, dass nicht nur der erste Band so gut war, Ich für meinen Teil gebe hier eine absolute Leseempfehlung,

You know what this means: mullets, big capes, impractical shoulder pads, needlessly artdesigned weapons, and a thousand references to rock and metal music, Oh yes. Anthrax, Venom, Striper, "MetaLicana" Kazushi snuck as many bands as possible into his Fantasy world as the names of spells, cities, and even gods, Even the protagonist, "Dark Schneider," is a reference to the singer of Accept, a German heavy metal band, The whole thing feels like it's taking place in a stock RPG videogame world, with some of the monsters even getting encyclopediastyle introductions, I dare you not to laugh when they explain that "slimes" are complicated amoebae,
The story follows Dark Schneider, an evil wizard who was sealed away fifteen years ago in the midst of his campaign to conquer the world, He was trapped in the subconscious of a seemingly innocent boy, When Schneider's old allies regroup and restart his campaign for world domination the rulers of MetaLicana release Schneider under a pact to defend them, From there we get a bunch of crazy magic fight scenes and some amusing tension as the boy's personality struggles and merges with Schneider, most notably in his irrational affection for one of the girls in the castle.
This volume leads up to Dark Schneider's first confrontation with his old allies, so it's essentially apage tease, This volume is also a collection
of chapters published in Weekly Shonen Jump, meaning it doesn't flow like a normal graphic novel, The first hundred pages feel incredibly redundant as Kazushi explains and then reexplains the plot to his new potential readers nice for the folks in the eighties who were picking this up midstream, but annoying as a trade paperback.
The art style is all over the place, Some illustrations have amazing shading and shadowing with rich detail, while others are embarrassingly simple, Most of the manga is done in a medium between those two extremes with art very reminiscent of Akira Toriyama Dragon Ball and Rumiko Takehashi Inu Yasha, Ranma/, but based on distinctly European Fantasy designs.
The violence is particularly graphic some of the most detailed panels depict eviscerations and beheadings, It's downright bizarre that the manga jumps between disturbing violence and adorable innocence, and at least in this volume, doesn't try to mix them too often, It just gives you a helping of the repulsive villain being ripped apart by a spell and the adorable little boy waking up in giant wizard robes,
