Shûmatsu no Valkyrie

Decent story line but every fight MUST contain flashbacks which just ruins the flow of each battle. If you're going to watch this, get ready for many many origin story and lore flashback sequences.

I feel like netflix is trying to ruin the anime industry by taking good mangas and doing them dirty...Like they made such an average anime out of an amazing manga.... I had so many emotions reading the manga, but literally 0 emotions watching the anime...It felt so empty for some reason. Just go read the manga it s far better.

The animation being mediocre is one thing. But the soundtrack is amazing, the tension is out of this world and the character backstories are very interesting. The show reaches its peak in the last 4 episodes and it was an amazing ride till the end. Can't wait for the second season.

What am I watching WTF? I am only about four episodes in and this anime is super aggravated. Let me get one thing straight there has to be reanimators on this at the same time. One from Baki one from Hellsing Ultimate, and one from Avatar. Not a single one of them are talking to each other they're way too many inconsistencies and not to mention this is a tournament fighter with no action. Just 4 episodes in and there's only been about 10 blows it's ridiculous and mundane. Also the script had to have been written by 16 year old. I am watching the dubbed and not the sub but still.

In a way its like a mixture between "Kengan Ashura" "Baki (during the raitai tournament" and "Drifters". I definitely don't dislike it, but I can't see it winning any major awards anytime soon. If your having a lazy day/night and fancy binging on a anime series, I'd recommend it. There are other shows out there that get straight to the point or are quite predictable, but I like how this one drifts from the main story and has a very detailed back story to each method or technique etc used while a character is in either combat or explaining something.

I've noticed there are alot of bad reviews on here about this show, but I'd say thats probably down to people expecting it to be alot more fast paced, which it definitely isn't.

If the fights were somehow edited to be shorter without the back stories, then the reviews would probably be alot higher, but you'd be able to watch the whole thing in only a couple of episodes.
