Rage of Bahamut (Japanese: 神撃のバハムート, Hepburn: Shingeki no Bahamūto) is a Japanese anime television series produced by MAPPA that is based on the Rage of Bahamut game.[3] The series was directed by Keiichi Sato and written by Keiichi Hasegawa, featuring character designs by Naoyuki Onda and music by Yoshihiro Ike.

The first season, titled Rage of Bahamut: Genesis (神撃のバハムート GENESIS, Shingeki no Bahamūto: Jeneshisu), consists of 12 episodes aired between October 6, 2014, and December 29, 2014. It has been licensed for streaming in North America by Funimation.[4] A second season, titled Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul (神撃のバハムート VIRGIN SOUL, Shingeki no Bahamūto: Bājin Souru), was announced on May 6, 2015, at the series' orchestra concert event.[5][6] It consists of 24 episodes aired between April 7, 2017, and September 29, 2017.[7] Amazon exclusively streamed the second season in the United States and in the United Kingdom on their Prime Video service.[8] The streaming in the United States was originally part of the now defunct Anime Strike service.[9]

A spin-off series, titled Manaria Friends, was released in 2019. It is also based on the Rage of Bahamut social game.

Looking at the Bahamut books that have been released to this point, what caught my eye first were the visuals of cute girls. You see these kind of cute girls in a lot of titles in Japan. We of course have characters with nice looks in this series as well. I've just been thinking on how to involve such cute characters into this dark fantasy world. — Keiichi Sato
