posted on by Karen Ressler
Sentai Filmworks announced on Friday that it will stream Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle exclusively on Hulu beginning on Monday, January 11. The episodes will be available for no commercial and limited commercial subscribers, and then become available for free users one week after their premiere.
Sentai Filmworks also plans to release the series on home video.
The story of the light novel series revolves around Lux, a former prince of an empire named Arcadia that was overthrown via a rebellion five years earlier. Lux accidentally trespasses in a female dormitory's bathing area, sees the kingdom's new princess Lisesharte naked, and incurs her wrath. Lisesharte then challenges Lux to a Drag-Ride duel. Drag-Rides are ancient armored mechanical weapons that have been excavated from ruins all around the world. Lux used to be called the strongest Drag-Knight, but now he's known as the "undefeated weakest" Drag-Knight because he will absolutely not attack in battle. After his duel with Lisesharte, Lux ends up attending the female-only academy that trains royals to be Drag-Knights.
