KSM Anime brought out the two volumes on DVD and Blu-ray for Rage of Bahamut: Genesis earlier this year after bringing out a complete collection in February in limited edition form. As they get more on their game for utilizing YouTube, they’re bringing out a look and listen at the shows, which for us gives us our first taste of it in its German language form. The trailer clocks in at just over two minutes and definitely gives an interesting feeling in this language.

Plot concept: Two thousand years ago, the black-and-silver-winged dragon, Bahamut, terrorized the magical land of Mistarcia. The humans, god, and demons that inhabited the land united forces against the fiend and sealed its power into a key which was split in two, one half protected by gods and the other protected by demons. Now, Mistarcia is a peaceful realm – until a human woman steals the god’s half of the key. Based on the immensely popular digital card game, Rage of Bahamut is an exciting blend of action and fantasy brought to you by the creators of Space Dandy and Tokyo Ghoul.
