The fall 2014 series has found another license home overseas this week as the folks at KSM Anime in Germany have acquired the property. The series is being planned for an early 2016 release where it’ll be released on both DVD and Blu-ray. No details about language specifications at the moment, but it’s likely to be similar to a lot of what KSM does in bringing it out in its original Japanese as well as with a German dub.
The series comes from the card game of the same name but has had little revealed in general about what its plans are and how it intends to adapt the game into this form. The show is being directed by Keiichi Satou at MAPPA using scripts by Keiichi Hasegawa with Naoyuki Onda serving as both character designer and chief animation director.
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.
