One more week until season 2 of Bahamut. Who's hyped for the savior of fantasy anime?
>>155317901
Damn, she looks retarded.
>>155318761
Don't bully Nina. But yeah she looks pretty goofy in that poster.
>>155318849
Did she appear in S1 or is she completely new character? I haven't watched ityet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXlgaTC7eFg
FAVAROOOOOO and Kaisar doing the preview for S2.
>>155318939
She's a complete new character. The main cast from S1 will be in it but they are supporting characters.
S1 is only 12 episodes, so I'd give it a watch before next week.
>>155317901
What's the /a/ opinion on the first season of this
I'm downloading it now
>>155319217
It was fun as fuck. Good old fashioned fantasy adventure series with no isekai, self insert neet MCs and harem bullshit. The last half isn't as good as the first half of S1 though. With only 12 episodes they had to rush through. But since S2 is going to be 24 eps, hopefully they fix that.
>>155319360
How are the games?
>>155319421
wait fuck I just realized it's a mobage card game
whatever
the anime will probably be good
>>155319421
I wouldn't know, I never played the game. From what I hear it's really not that great. So it's a typical mobage card game. But the anime has nothing to do with the game. The only connection it has is that it uses some character and enemy designs from the game. Other than that the director had free reign to do whatever he wanted.
Nina is hueg. The actual promotion this season is nice, but the downside is that now all of it can't be Top Onda.
>>155317901
Will it have more Lucifer this time? What is Azazel up to between seasons?
>>155319217
definately worth the watch. It has some great designs and characters. CG can get a little excessive at times but it's a great Anime regardless.
>>155318761
Nina is not a smart girl.
>FeMC surrounded by ikemen
We otome now?
For those who haven't seen it yet, probably the most promising trailer of the season.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSczPBZeNRc
>>155319710
>Lucifer
>doing anything but sulking in hell
Azazel apparently joined the Resistance.
How is this different from granblue fantasy, another ad series from the same producer?
>>155320001
I watched the first two episodes of Granblue when they aired as a preview a month or two ago, and it was boring as fuck compared to the first two eps of Bahamut.
>>155320001
Based Keiichi Satou is directing this one.
>>155319150
Yoshino sounding a little raspy.
>>155319886
/a/ has been self inserting into mfcs for years now anon, 3D males need to leave
Wow, she's built like a brick shithouse. Did Hayama Kenji forget she's a woman?
>>155320228
Can't wait for more Rita.
>>155320001
Granblue is a direct adaptation of the game's main story, and based on the first episode it's turning out pretty mediocre due to that. Bahamut is just based on the world lore, giving the anime team bigger creative control.
Granblue also originally had a silent protagonist, and they gave him the blandest heroic type personality for the anime.
>>155320394
She's actually adragon
>>155320478
I don't think Nina is the dragon, looks more like the Turban dude may be the Dragon going from his eyecolour.
>>155317901
I'll be watching it only for more FAVAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Did the trailer imply that the thing that triggers her turning into a dragon is her heart going all DOKIDOKI?
>>155320394
What? You can't handle her?
>>155320528
That's the king, he's fighting the dragon in the PVs.
>>155320445
why didn't they do the same for granblue?
>>155320394
>Did Hayama Kenji forget she's a woman?
But is she really...?
>>155317901
>>155318849
>>155319652
>>155319797
This semen demon is so hot. Doujins when?
>>155319217
Its fun, great characters, great comedy, and great setting. Well recommended. Long live Joan.
>>155320528
No, she is the dragon. Her full name is literally Nina Drango.
Charioce 13th in S1 and Charioce 17th in S2 makes me seriously wonder about the 10 years between.
Only watching because Nina's dragon form is 2D.
>>155320535
He's going to be more of a side character in S2, but I can't wait to see him either.
>>155320811
Seems like he won't appear for at least a month.
>>155320689
>>155320622
he doesn't look nearly as buff as the King though, longer face.
Maybe Nina is the Dragon, maybe she's another Dragon tho.
No idea, dragons hair might be either pink or white, hard to say in that light, same could go for the eyes tho. Maybe I'm wrong. Just saying what I discerned from the Trailer footage.
though on a close comparison the turban dude may just be the King guy.
>>155319652
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The armor is fucking unrealistic.
>>155321035
Turban guy is voiced by Umehara, the guy who voices the King. It's him.
>>155321163
dog bless.
http://anime.eiga.com/news/104353/
Baha VS is getting the cover of a megazine. Except instead of being a regular anime megazine it's a crackpot "ancient aliens" occult megazine called Monthly Mu.
I'm hoping Amira somehow appears as well. I'm guess that's what Favaro is doing in the first place, trying to find a way to bring her back.
>>155321163
>muh realism
>in fantasy anime
>>155321205
Apparently not the first time.
>>155321163
Crush your ribcage a the slightest impact.
>>155321205
Oh god I heard it but never looked how the magazine was like.
>>155319421
Bahamut game doesn't exist anymore in NA, not that you'd want to play it anyway.
They reuse the characters in Granblue and Shadowverse. Shadowverse is a f2p-friendly Hearthstone competitor that just had an expansion like 2 days ago, I'd recommend giving it a go. Granblue is a more typical mobage stuff so you either like it or not.
>>155320417
This anon knows what's up.
>>155319988
>resistance
Can someone refresh my memory on what this is
Judging from the trailer it looks like Jeanne is in for more suffering. Hopefully Kaisar is there to save her especially after their little bonding moment in this special.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tjfrDmxSOw
>>155321544
Jeanne is for corruption and despair, not for saving.
>>155321035
The king and the turban guy are the same character. He is Nina's primary love interest.
>>155321544
Only in the older trailers. In the latest trailer it looks like Jeanne is breaking out.
>>155321525
It's not from the first series.
At some point in between Charioce invaded hell and enslaved the demons.
>>155321686
Didn't he die when Bahamut awakened?
>>155321525
King is killing angels, god, demons and supernatural creatures because humans first, humans shouldn't bow to the gods. Azazel is apparently fighting against those who oppress non-humans.
Favaro looks more serious in S2, I don't know if I'll like it.
https://youtu.be/XSczPBZeNRc?t=82
From the trailers, it seems like Charioce wanted to capture Nina due to her dragon powers and after she is captured Nina meets up with Jeanne and Rita to run away.
The show set-up is a bit weird considering the first season. It feels both a lot more serious with Charioce being an edgy "ends justify the means" characters and kinda like a show for girls with the romance being the primary focus and Nina being an otome surrounded by bishounen.
>>155321218
She's still part of Bahamut right?
>>155321797
Well it's been a decade since S1 in the story. It would be stranger if he didn't mature somewhat. Especially after everything that happened.
>>155321797
The entire series is more serious in general due to Charioce being Nina's co-protagonist despite being an edgelord.
I liked Amira and Favaro but FavaroXAmira was forced as fuck and really weird considering Amira was mentally a little girl.
>>155321742
Wrong Charioce, the old king was killed by Baha. This is a new, younger and handsomer Charioce.
>>155321889
I know but I think he was largely why everyone liked the show because he was a comedy character yet also tried his best to achieve his goals, This one in Virgin Soul just looks straight up like no fun allowed but maybe the female will replace him in the comedy side.
>>155321968
Oh. I'm okay with this development then.
>>155321950
As cute as it is I'd have to agree with it being forced. He went from wanting to murder her, to seeing her as a massive annoyance which is how he felt towards her during most of the show. Then in the end they are suddenly passionate making out. That was a bit weird.
I like this group. I hope they're the main character group for a few episodes. Probably not since Jeanne must suffer.
>>155322154
Prison break with Rita, Nina and Jeanne looks like it's going to be a fun ride. I can't wait.
>>155321858
It's because of the new writer. Ohishi Shizuka is a really big name dorama writer. She herself described Virgin Soul as a "complex Taiga Dorama", Taiga Dorama being NHK's venerable slot for historical novel adaptations.
Ohishi herself wrote a Taiga drama once (youtube.com/watch?v=GX7PD2mmtdI if anyone's interested) and it's a Sengoku jidai thing so you can know what to expect. Hence why the official descriptions for the show call it a "political thriller" instead of "dark fantasy adventure".
Honestly a lot of fans of S1 a going to suffer some tone backlash.
Friendly reminder that Jeanne is responsible for:
>destroying Azazel's house
>wounding Azazel and thus furthering the bad guys' agenda by rendering Lucifer's right hand man useless
>succumbing to the demons
>killing several angels, including her husbando, weakening Bahamut's barrier and allowing him to escape
Jeanne doesn't deserve happiness. Everything bad that happened in S1 was her fault.
This is two cour??
>>155317901
What a coincidence, I just finished the original show.
It was pretty enjoyable.
>>155320001
Granblue is an actual adaptation where Bahamut has next to nothing to do with the game. Such a shame because there are some good characters that'll never get used. Instead we have meme afro faggot that only tasteless plebs like.
>>155322746
Yes, it's listed as 24 episodes.
>>155322373
Oh, and she also apparently tends to write stories about women in forbidden romances (one about a woman fucking a much younger married man, one about a woman fucking a guy who failed to stop her husband from being murdered ,etc)
>>155322682
it wasn't really out of bad intention, she was bamboozled into doing bad things by her right hand man(Demon).
>>155322682
She's such a cutie pie though.
>>155319217
It was all right, it looked very good, well apart from shitty CGI dragons along with Bahamut himself. The story was bland, world generic and characters although charming very shallow, but it sounded good, had fast-paced action scenes which were fun and well directed. It was fine at being bright and stupid adventure fantasy flick, nothing more.
>>155322938
Christ, I hope she does't ruin this. Bahamut was enjoyable because it was a fun adventure with charming characters, not because it was a drama.
>>155317901
OP & ED of the season
ARTS is gonna be Uchoten tho
>>155323143
*AOTS
>>155323179
To be fair it will also be ARTS.
>>155317901
But man, it was already saved 7 years ago.
>>155322373
Political thriller mixed with some action and pretty people in fantasy land. I can dig this.
>>155319217
Great start, lacklustre ending. All in all pretty good.
>>155321972
I am sure favaro will be fun, maybe not as over the top as in s1 but still. Also expect atleast one or two FAVAROOOOOOOOOO during the anime.
Will she make a cameo apparence?
>>155317901
Why is she so fat?
>>155324724
>>155324724
She's not fat anon, she just has chubby cheeks.
>>155321544
Where the FUCK do I get subtitles for that?
>>155324992
Archive. A based anon translated the shorts.
>>155319652
>What kind of things were you told in the audition?
>I remember I was told to use a voice like from a western movie, like an american girl.
>from the design she looks like a lively and active girl, but I was told not to make her too cute, if anything it shold be boyish and not put-up, so I decided to do it naturally.
>With the production being once again of great quality, how was it to match your acting to the animation?
>during the recording, I was told to not worry about the lenght of the lines. We were told they would match the drawings to our performances, so there were times we would act without looking at the video, and we could act with our own rithym and tension. On top of that the scrip was extremely detailed, and the animation was completed, so I had lots of hints and [fucking watermark] I had a great experience.
>>155325017
What's the best keyword?
I don't think "Bahamut subs" will cut it.
>>155325083
Nyaa comments sections also have them.

>>155325116
You're a lifesaver. I'm confident enough in my Japanese to watch without, but I've just today finished watching Bahamut with my EOP friend, and I'd rather not have him skip these before the new season hits.
>>155325122
Appreciated.
>>155319159
>>155320811
Don't know how I feel about new leads. I really liked the original cast.
>>155325214
WOW WOW WOWWWWWWWWWWWW
>>155325292
They originally announced there would be four more shorts, but I guess they'll be dropping them slowly over the series now.
>>155317901
Definitely this and Uchouten Kazoku S2 are the only things I'm hyped about this season.
>>155325491
I still want Azazel saving cute demon girls from humans and Rita's back alley doctor adventures shorts.
>>155320001
First two episodes were bland and boring as fuck,plus it's been confirmed as 12 episodes so they already wasted 2.Bahamut is vastly superior.
>>155325054
>how did it feel to perform?
>It's a character with lots of expressions, and with a wide breadth of feelings. So far there were no points where I didn't know how to act, but there were times when I didn't get Nina herself.
>meaning?
>her emotions change a lot in a short period of time, so it was difficult to know how to express these highs and lows. But the director told me "don't worry of the people watching can't keep up" so I suppressed those preoccupations and just acted. On one of the recordings, the director told me "Nina's tension was good today" and at that point I felt i'd gotten the hang of it.
>>155321544
Are the short stories translated anywhere? All i find are some arabic subs and that's it.
>Virgin Soul
Does that mean that Kaiser HASN'T pumped Rita's rotting, cold womb full of semen?
>>155321544
KAISAR IS FOR RITA

>>155326305
Well shit, i forgot to update the thread and i missed it, thank you.
>>155326327
It's too soon to tell anon.
>>155317901
>Only one more week
Damn I completely forgot about it.
>>155319217
Very good start, fell apart in second half.
Ending was crap.
>>155323462
I just want to respond to this to let you know you're not alone. That was the last great fantasy anime before the isekai shit took over.
>>155319421
Granblue is the least shit mobage on the market right now.
Shadowverse is a better HS.
>>155322373
hearing that it will lose its "fun adventure" vibe is disappointing, but if the story turns out to be good I wont mind
>>155325769
>what kind of character is Nina?
>Her liveliness and bright demeanor is her charm, but her presence is extreme large. The energy she emanates is so great that everyone gets carried along. I think that's why she's so loved by all. Someone who can push through, unbending, with her own will, that's Nina.
>>155326277
>Dyke
>>155320001
Main story in GBF is pretty bland and bad in the beginning. Game got big because of great side characters and fun events.
And they did the worst possible choice using Gran as MC.
>>155326747
SHE'S NOT A LESBIAN
SHE'S JUST REALLY LOYAL TO HER PRINCESS
>>155326742
Sounds great.
>>155321218
I hope she comes back too.
>>155325623
Azazel saving cute girls that get wet at how hot he is.
>>155327036
This season will be fun.
>>155327036
He's destined to suffer though. Even more than Jeanne.
>>155327123
he has to repopulate hell one way or another...
>Beestebub is dead
rip beelzy
>>155319159
>>155320811
>The main cast from S1 will be in it but they are supporting characters.
Such bullshit.
>>155327479
Well their story is done. It revolved around Amira who is now stuck inside Bahamut. From all the promotional stuff though it looks like Kaisar is going to be an active part of the new cast at least and Rito will appear here and there. Favario is probably off looking for a way to save his waifu.
April Fool's.
>>155326742
I feel like Nina is a breath of fresh air for this series.
>the director said the theme of this series is "what people do when they are forced to make an extreme decision", and this is a series where, the way the characters face their own feelings, how they are afected by Nina's presence, and how Nina herself, after having gone through lots of experiences, will make her own decisions, is portrayed very delicately. So I hope people can watch and feel along with the characters.
End
>>155317901
The first few eps of season 1 were great, but it quickly lost it's luster. I don't expect much from this.
Are they going to have a similar budget?
>>155327777
Missed a >
There
But got quads.
>>155327599
>Well their story is done
>Amira who is now stuck inside Bahamut
Pick one.
How the fuck is the story resolved? It literally ended on a cliffhanger.
Any guesses what s2 will be like overall?
>>155327859
It's a bad end, sometimes you can't save your waifu without awakening the ancient evil.
>>155327970
Nip says that it's very otome-like.
Everyone keeps bitching that the cast of 1 wont be main characters but all thats confirmed is favaro isnt the main protagonist, all the material released so far seems to be painting at least kaiser and rita are main characters and favaro likley will too. The only one not in the main character seat will be almira.
>>155328173
And Azazel gets lots of screentime too apparently.
https://twitter.com/undygbinz/status/847310689760718848
I am honestly more interested in the medieval doujins coming out later.
>>155329148
Did any good doujin came out from the first season?
>>155328450
I bet they won't even meet face to face in S2 again.
