 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V5TOaaeRTQ 10 years after the world escaped destruction due to the revival of Bahamut, humans at the royal capital gather wealth, the demons are enslaved to assist with the capital's revival, and the gods lose their power due to a decrease in religious piety. The world is thrown off balance as humans, gods, and demons hold their own ideas of justice. Shingeki no Bahamut (translated as Rage of Bahamut): Virgin Soul is a fantasy action anime based (loosely) on Cygames' mobile card battle game of the same name. It is the sequel to Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis, and directed by Keiichi Satou (who did season 1, and also Tiger and Bunny) of studio Mappa (breakaway studio from Madhouse, did Yuri on Ice). Series composition is by Shizuka Oishi, who is new to anime writing, she did a lot of j-dramas curiously. It's real good. Characters:  Kaiser Lidfard - Likes honour.  Bacchus + Hamsa - Likes booze.  King Charioce XVII - Likes racism.  'Rag demon' (Azazel) - Like batman.  Nina Drango - Likes hot boys, I haven't seen season 1... can I watch this? You should, it's a good show. Theoretically with the new main character you can just start here, but you're missing out a lot, many of the characters from the previous show return here. Remind me what happened in season 1? Didn't you just say... well, anyway. Humans, demons and angels exist in this fantasy world. Once upon a time there was a dragon called Bahamut, who was so terrifying and destructive that both Satan and Zeus, the head God, had to sacrifice themselves to seal him away. Thousands of years later, Kaiser (a knight) is pursuing Favaro (a bounty hunter) due to their dads killing each other. Favaro meets a girl, Amira, who binds him into a contract to deliver her to Helheim. During the course of their adventure/pursuit various events happen - Kaiser meets Rita a necomancer/zombie. They stay for a bit in Anatae (which is definitely not France) which is defended by the holy knight, Jeanne of Arc. They cooperate to defeat Azazel, who is Lucifer's right hand man, who also reveals he manipulated both Kaiser and Favaro's being orphaned mostly for fun. Lavalley, one of the knights there, turns the King against Jeanne, which leads to her going crazy evil. Turns out Lavalley is the demon Martinet all the time, is the dad to the half-demon-half-angel Amira, who is key to a plot to recover both of the keys to Bahamut and gain real ultimate power/destroy the universe/etc. They meet a not-evil dragon in an alternative dimension who is impaled by a talon from Bahamut himself, which is the only way to hurt Bahamut. Everything goes to poo poo, Bahamut absorbs Amira and awakens. Everyone, including the demons and angels work together, Jeanne is cured but loses all her powers by stabbing her patron archangel to death, Kaiser and Favaro lose an arm and a leg respectively, Lavalley is killed, Favaro stabs Bahamut with a sword fashioned of his own claw, sealing him away. Favaro still thinks Amira can be saved somehow, and leaves the city. How many episodes is this gonna be? 24 episodes. Rumours are that all of the first 12 episodes are already animated, so hopefully this series won't be rushed. (The other rumour is that Yuri on Ice had issues precisely because they were animating this series at the same time.....) My headcanon is that this is in the same multiverse as miss kobayashi's dragon maid and thats why... That's not a question Favaro? FAVAROOOOO! The show is on Anime Strike.

Actually, thinking on it, it might be just that XIV-XVI got wiped out when Bahamut woke up and blew up the capital along with everyone else who was there. E: either that or XVII was the only one who wanted to take the throne of a ruined kingdom Blank Construct fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Apr 23, 2017 |

I'm now imagining a string of increasingly rushed and annoyed coronations as the fireballs rained down. "Rise, Charioce X- oh, gently caress it, not again. Bob, how many more of these guys do we have left?"

Glad someone made a proper thread for this show. I loved season 1 even if I did tap out around episode 7 or 8 and this season has been excellent so far. Nina is an appropriate successor to Favaro as the protagonist, that's for sure.

I kinda doubt this show will pull a Shinsekai Yori if that's what you are thinking. It'll probably just always be cheesy but well made entertainment.

Blank Construct posted:Thanks for making the thread! That's not at all unusual, especially in a crises. And I'm p sure "Our strong lady turned into a demon because we burned her to death, then the king, his army, and the capital got exploded by a pissed off dragon" counts as a crisis.

reptiles are real, and most but not all of them lay eggs. dragons are fictional, so it depends on what a given author makes up.

It sounds as if Nina's father did the fantasy equivalent of the above, though I wonder just who her father was dragon wise - the other people in her village seem to turn into rather smaller dragons who one presumes are not so apocalyptically powerful and unstoppable.
