More probably depends on if the game company wants to advertise more, so I'm not sure if it has to entirely rely on disk sales.

Don't they usually update or change frames on the blue ray releases? So it might be worth picking up to see it a second time.
I found this series to be pretty damn good, with some top notch character design IMO...
I look forward to seeing some of this "cosplayed" at conventions. And i completely agree this could be a gateway series to those on the fence about watching Anime.

What bothers me more is using an actual historical figure, but I guess they felt the name recognition was necessary for Jeanne? Or she's specifically used in the card game?
At least it doesn't throw together historical figures from a myriad of countries and time periods without any explanation. That takes me way out of a show. |
All the Characters used in the anime were in the game excepted for the main cast Amelia, Kaiser and Favoro. For the release of the anime they release six cards in the game to everyone that played. That featured the main cast members.

Am I the only one that thought the kiss was really weird? I mean earlier on, I would have thought nothing. However, now that it has been established that Amira is essentially a 6 year old, kinda shocked me that they went there.

"Here's hoping" is the correct expression.

@Silvertalon: The kiss was needed to lift Favaro's curse. How much romantic feelings were in it, is up to you, but it was also a possible thank you, goodbye - there is more to the kiss than it seems.

So, up until the very end there was nothing remarkable about this show. The writing, the characters, everything was just so empty, so shallow. Anything that was unique about this show was just pure surface level (e.g. "oh look skeletons riding dragons, and fish people fighting zombie pirates!"). It was all just flashing lights and no show.
It was like someone just pulled a "generic fantasy" template off the internet, altered a couple of things and called it a day. Sometimes it was a little annoying, other times it was kind of dumb, but it was always just so boring. It wasn't even fun to hate watch.

Did she lift the curse? If that was it, then whatever. However, when Fava gets on his horse at the end, he rubs where his tail should be and says Bahamut is alive which I took as implying since he still had his tail, Amira wasn't dead, and therefore neither was Bahamut.
And sure, there can be more than one type of kiss... but that was not a goodbye kiss between friends...

That is extremely fascinating.
I only watched the first six episodes of this show, I really need to finish it. I didn't stop watching because I didn't like it, just because of laziness. It was actually shaping up to be in my top five for the year. I haven't seen Parasyte yet though, and everyone seems to love that. I generally tend to agree with popular opinion (I'm mainstream like that), so I'll probably like that too.

We have zero knowledge if the curse was lifted or not. Which i like a lot. The anime is at the end an ad so when they need more viral views for the cards(they made some for the anime) we may see them back. All the best heroes have missing limbs. Guts, Ed and now our comedy duo.
I started to like the finale even more when i noticed that Fava lost his leg. It reminded me of bittersweet 80s anime endings.

Well I don't know what the f*ck happened in that finale, but it was epic, let's hope there's more to come!

This show and Kokkuri-san have been my two favorites watches of the year. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. : )

This was great, but it should be left alone. The story ended, Favaro saved the world, Bahamut was defeared, blah blah blah. Thats it, it was great because it ended the way it was supposed to, with the "end of the series atmosphere". Maybe one or two OVA in the future, covering the remaining characters.

Overall, Rage of Bahamut: Genesis was a really big surprise, and one well done. Shows what animation studios can do when they actually TRY to adapt mobile games. The show had great action, fun characters, and one hell of an opening (god, I love that music). I don't really know if I want a second season though. The ending wrapped up the series pretty well, and I feel that it should just stay like that. I am wondering about one small thing, however. How was Jeanne let back into the royal guards so easily? After she turned into a demon right in front of the people's eyes, I would think that they would be very suspicious of her. Even if she did explain herself, wouldn't it be hard to convince the people without the gods to back her up?
