Bastard!!

Blood, sweat, and a big ass sword. The characters of Berserk, like Bastard, are very deep and well-developed. Action-packed episodes will have you coming back for more. If you liked Bastard, check out Berserk!

Berserk is a much more serious, much darker version of Bastard! While Gatts in Berserk is much more human, he is just as powerful a warrior, and he's not a douche like Dark Schneider!

Nothing like having all the firepower centered around a single individual. While in Bastard, it's a poweful wizard, and in Berserk, a powerful warrior, it's still fun to watch them tear into the masses. Note that Berserk is considerably darker and more violent than Bastard though.

Fighting.... Blood... is that what you want? You should really check out Berserk. I would say Bastard is abit of a parody on Berserk. Cause Bastard i s not really serious, but Berserk is. I really enjoyed both of the shows and I think they have alot in common. So be sure to check it out

With strangely unpleasent, but likeable main characters, gritty animation, and lots and lots of blood, it is not wonder what is a like in these two. You will find similar dark atmosphere and edgy mood that drives the plot forward.

If you did like Bastard then you should see Berserk. Berserk is very much alike Bastard it just that Berserk is more serious. both got this mucels dudes that runs around an fights.

These two shows, Bastard!! and Berserk, are an excellent pair of Medieval-style animes. Swords and Wizards, demons and grand castles. There are loads of action and violence in both. But Berserk is a bit longer, with a more involved plot, and excellent character development. Berserk holds one of my highest recommendations to any anime fan.

Both set in the same time period, both contain bloody goryness. The only difference is that in Berserk it happens with a sword, in Bastard with magic. If you liked this one, you have to see the other!

Both series have the same kind of dark mideval feeling to them. Knights battle it out in great epic war campanges and characters haveing set their aims and dreams high in life.

Bastard has a lot more ecchiness/random comedy bits thrown in, but both have a very similar feel (and even similar look, for some characters). Medevil swordsmanship, monsters, maidens, the whole 9 yards.

Both of these anime seem like they were made for the same people. They have similar settings and share a common atmosphere and animation style. Both are very violent and adult oriented. Both share an importance on character relation. Bastard!! however is a bit more comedic and Berserk is a little bit more serious. Oh also, worst of all, neither series was completed... so if you don't want to feel left hanging, you'll have to take a look at the mangas.

Swords.. Check, Medieval setting... Check, Blood and Death... Check, Main characters that can wipe the floor with anything that is placed in front of them and still look cool... Very much check. Along with this they both have a simialr feel in why the fights are run along with the simliarities in settings. Bastard is the comic little brother in sense of Berserk and worth  watch if you have just finished the end of the Berserk series and want a pick me up

They are very similar in several aspects.  To be honest I didn't get very far in either of them but from what I saw, I didn't like them for the same reasons.  The art style, the senseless gore, etc. If you liked one of them, I'm pretty sure you've watched/should watch the other.

If you enjoyed Bastard, you'll adore Berserk since they have a very similar world concept, fantasy archetypes, and an unbridled macho approach. Moreover, their stories are surprisingly good despite how braindead their animation and premise makes them seem. Keep in mind, though, Berserk is far more serious and epic, whilst Bastard feels like an introduction to what is a spoofy but still plot-driven franchise.

Ninja Scroll is a nice one-shot tape with lots of fighting. Bastard! is funnier, but Ninja Scroll is about 10 times better in the fighting and gore departments

Just like Bastard!!, Ninja Scroll presents a grand, diverse team of villains hell-bent on taking over the world. The action and gore is excellent, and if you liked Bastard!!, Ninja Scroll just might be for you.

Sex, violence, and swords.. what more could anyone want? Exactly why you'd like Bastard! and Ninja Scroll. Bastard! definitely is a lot more cheesy/campy, with a lot more random sex.. while Ninja Scroll is more serious, with wacky monsters, drama, and extreme violence.

Ninja Scroll and Bastard are very alike. They both have the same violent nature, involve topics like sex and gore, and have a similar time setting.

In a similar time period as Bastard!, much more serious, and less humorous. If you're looking for a step between the seriousness of Berserk and Bastard!, Lodoss War is probably it.

Both of these series are set into a midieval fantasy world where there are evil demons and magic and sorcery, so if you liked one, you would really like the other. Lodoss War is a little more epic however and the quest is a lot longer.

If you liked Bastard!!, Record of Lodoss War is right down your alley. Brave knights, elves, sorcerers, dragons, and a host of action sequences await you in this excellent Medieval style anime. The art style of Record of Lodoss War is a beauty to behold.
