Muse Vietnam announced on Wednesday that it will add the Rage of Bahamut: Genesis anime, beginning with the first episode on Thursday, September 3 at 7:30 p.m. GMT +7, with a new episode at the same time daily.
The series premiered in October 2014. Animax Asia streamed the anime in Southeast Asia in 2016. Funimation streamed the series in North America, and it describes the series:
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.
Keiichi Satou (Tiger & Bunny, live-action Black Butler) directed the anime at MAPPA. Naoyuki Onda (Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King, The Animatrix's Detective Story) served as character designer and chief animation director, and Yoshihiro Ike (Tiger & Bunny, Karas) scored the music. Keiichi Hasegawa (scripts on Astro Boy, The Big O, Zoids) was in charge of the series scripts, and Takashi Hashimoto was in charge of effects animation.
The sequel, Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul, premiered in April 2017.
