Rage of Bahamut: Genesis (神撃のバハムート GENESIS Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis?) is a Japanese anime television series produced by MAPPA that is based on the Rage of Bahamut game.

Mistarcia is a magical world where humans, gods, and demons mingle together. In the past, the black-and-silver winged Bahamut had threatened to destroy the land, but humans, gods, and demons overcame their differences to fight together and sealed its power. The key to that seal was split in two, one half given to the gods and the other to demons, so that they would never be united and Bahamut never released. Now, two thousand years later, the world is in an era of peace - until the day a woman steals the gods' half of the key. The hunt begins to find the thief and maintain the seal while others conspire to find the key, so as to release the fearsome Bahamut.
The anime is directed by Keiichi Sato, with series composition by Keiichi Hasegawa, character designs by Naoyuki Onda and music by Yoshihiro Ike. The opening theme song "EXiSTENCE" is performed by SiM, the ending theme song "Promised Land" is performed by Risa Shimizu.
