Oh yeah, little fun fact: The VA of Jean in AoT is actually the VA for the MC in Bastard.

Like K Vid already mentioned. Bastard came out 1987 and like you already mentioned in the reaction "Is that Guts?"... pretty much Yes, yes it is. Because Berserk came out 1989, 2 years after Bastard. The Sword man with the Short Dark Hair and the spiky shoulder pads in the 1st Trailer, his name is Gara, is actually the inspiration for Guts. That aside from that, like I mentioned in your last Stream, Bastar influenced many people. Not only Kentaro Miura, but also Tite Kubo (Bleach). Tite Kubo mentioned in an interview taking inspiration from Bastard's Art style due to it being very close to being anime like and said that had an influence on him. Here is a example https://i.imgur.com/aBCXUlV.png Also Video game designer and producer Daisuke Ishiwatari said Bastard's fantasy setting was a major influence on creating Guilty Gear. I would really love to see you react to Bastard at some point, I think it would be fun. the next part is basically about the rough Setting of the World and a very rough gist of the Story, so if you are not interested, don't read futher. Since you said that you are not really into Metal... and because of the Title of the Anime... I guess it's okay to say that Bastard is very Metal influenced... lot's of Names, Location, Spells etc are influenced by old Metal Bands or their Songs etc. And I guess it's ok to give a short gist of the Story with as little spoilers as possible. "Dark Schneider" is a Powerful Wizard that tries to conquer the World, but eventually got defeated and sealed away... the Story now is about him getting unsealed and fight his former allies who try to conquer the World. That might seems a bit weird, but again, trying not to spoiler to much, just the gist.

Bastard!! originally came out in 1987. This series is a remake of the original OVA from 1992. Both are around the same time as Berserk's releases ('89 and '97, respectfully) Unfortunately, it's also more censored than the original. Sure, there's gore and cheeks, but the frontal nudity is removed. Which, that's whatever, but the manga and OVA are very NSFW compared to the Netflix remake. It's still worth a watch, but I'd look into the OVA after watching the series. Can't really tell you the plot or the setting without going into spoilers.
