Years ago the Bastard Dark Schneider was leading a large army bend on world conquest when he was defeated and imprisoned.

Dark isn't about to help the people who had kept him imprisoned for years but he wasn't going to let someone else conquer them either. Especially when he learns that the army is led by his former generals.

CHRACTERS.

Dark Schneider. A very powerfull warrior and warlock who once led a huge army. After years of imprisonment he is released to stop his old army from doing what he failed to do. Besides being very strong he is close to being immortal and very hard to kill.

Rushe. A young boy who is the container that holds Dark Schneider. He is a kind and sweet boy who is friends with Yoko.

Ansla Sax. God of ultimate evil who burned the old world in seven days. There are four seals that keep him prisoner one of which is lokated in Meta-Rikana.

ART & MUSIC.

Both the art (5/5) and music (5/5) are excellent.

VOICE ACTING

The Japanese acting was great as usual (5/5). I did watch the English dub and while it wasn't bad i didn't like it (3/5).

Personal note. I really like this anime, the story and the action are excellent. The humor is less important than the action but i still found it pretty funny. There is also some nudity in this anime and a lot of blood and violence. The end is very open however and lends itself to a sequal that isn't there.

If you have any questions please let me know. Also tips and comments about how i can make this sort of blog better are more than welcome.
