Geez. Minions already made more than Lightyear has done in its entire run. That has to sting hard.

“If we could get some Inuyasha, YuYu Hakusho, or Big O news as well, Adult Swim and Toonami fans would be all set.”

He’s canonically 400+ years old. Most of the bad guys in the first arc are actually his former generals from back when he was the Big Bad.

Haven’t read the manga in years.

... You call Commando and Predator satires yet Bastard isn’t? Have... have you not looked at the original manga? It doesn’t take itself seriously. At all. Dark Schneider himself gets mocked for his sex-crazed attitude by everyone in the setting.  

??? Bastard doesn't exclude women though. The number of male heroes can be counted on one hand, at least until the time skip, but even that is mostly because of the massive plot change and a lot of the sex stuff getting downplayed in favor of serious plot (since they finally introduced bad guys who could defeat DS). 

Of course it doesn’t rise above shonen stuff. Not only is it based on an 80's manga, but it was originally run in Shonen Jump itself. Still technically is, but eventually got moved to their adult brand. 

If we’re taking in-universe ages into account, then the girls being teens shouldn’t matter, as DS is over hundreds of years old, so even a 50-year-old Yoko would be a child compared to DS.

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret.

It wasn’t porn, dipshit. It was a manga splash page. It didn’t actually show penetration or anything, just replaced some of the girls from one of the standard “harem” shots with characters from anime the creator likes. Haruhi and Rin are not actually canon to the world of Bastard. It’s the same as if a chapter of One…

The only teenager is Yoko, who actually rebuffs DS for much of the story. Every other woman is an adult and many were part of DS’ original harem back when he was sealed. It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure even after the time skip Yoko still is just an ally and not officially a part of his harem.

Misogyny means “hatred of women.” It’s possible to be hyper masculine and not hate women. There’s millions of men like that in real life. And in the context of this show, Dark Schneider very much does not hate women at all. If anything, he's closer to a misandrist. 

A lot of Jump creators are buddies with Watsuki, including Eiichiro Oda.

Just because it’s hyper-masculine and horny doesn’t mean it's misogynistic. 

“When I first watched Netflix’s new anime Bastard!!: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy, I expected a melodramatic anime series along the lines of Record of Lodoss War.”

The Pokémon Company is considered its own autonomous entity, hence why the dozen or so Pokémon mobile games released over the last decade or so don't count towards Nintendo's selection.

Meanwhile, Draglia Lost, another Nintendo fantasy-based mobile IP game, is about to end service because Nintendo never bothered to promote it, not even bothering to give the crew Spirits in Smash Ultimate. And they did more justice to the Fire Emblem Heroes cast than Heroes did.

OK, fine.

Eh, still less cringe than Radio Shack’s Twitter the past few weeks.
