Bastard 4
Posted: June 17, 2008 Filed under: Bastard Leave a comment »Oh Jesus, this series is such a mess. I can’t even begin to make any sort of intelligent comments about this volume because it’s nearly incomprehensible.
Near as I can figure, the main feature was the fight between Dark Schneider and Arshes Nei. Gaara also fights Arshes a little bit at the beginning, but only Dark is a match for her, of course. Lots of fighting is done. Lots of really hard to follow fighting.
If fighting isn’t really your thing, maybe you’d be interested in some really bizarre and poorly-done character relationships. I want to like this series, I really do. I may actually still. But at this point, there really isn’t much to like. I hear it gets better though, which makes me feel happy.
As a heads up to anyone interested in reading this, I think the early volumes are going out of print. I had part of my order cancelled and had to get volume 4 and… 7, I think, from another source. That could mean anything, but I’m willing to bet that these volumes are old enough and not popular enough that it’s probably not getting a reprint if the original stock sells out.
