As someone who was just introduced to this series from the first trailer that came out months ago and just watched the first batch of episodes I would describe the series like this thus far.
Imagine a hypermasculine metal album cover from the likes of Manowar, Cirith Ungol, Eternal Champion (you get the picture) and turned it into an anime with Conan the Barbarian level cheesiness and 80s metal references all over. This is what Bastard!! Is on top of being over-the-top, goofy, and horny. This is without a doubt a product of its time being an 80s male power fantasy.
The protagonist Dark Schneider is a confident, self-loving womanizer who does as he pleases and really does live up to the title of Bastard!! The women in this series do fall for his charm but at the same time will smack him around when he is being over-the-top. You're not meant to take this series super seriously, it is not deep but that is okay, it doesn't need to be as it is meant to be fun and entertaining and I personally feel that it is. I'm a huge fan of metal music and the dark fantasy genre and æsthetics so this fit perfectly up my alley.
If none of that draws you in then this is simply not a series for you, this is easily a series that you will either love or hate.
