Record of Ragnarok

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.

For an anime strickly about fighting there is not one continuous fight scene. The actual action is basically colored manga panels.

It seems they spent all their money on the appearance of the show and had nothing else to spare. Its obvious they extend any dialogue scene and flashback to its max potential to avoid having to make an actual action scene.

It is such a shame so many other animation studios and productions could do this anime so much more justice. The potential for this was sky high with, with the proliferation of so much new anime series with their focus on combat, this pales in comparison.

Me personally find the historical figures and fights very good. But i dont really know but netflix did it dirty. The Emotions when i read the manga were higher. But the backstorys were pretty simple but the fights were interessting. Its doesnt have a real maincharacter besides this Valkyre and it also has a basic plot but the only enjoyable things are the fighting and the emotions during the fightings. Thats it.

I hope they make a 3rd season somehow and a better one. I feel like that was a nice show to watch, it would be a nice starter anime. The Ratings are a little bit to low in my opinion. The final fight episodes are good so for some episodes i would actually expect to have 8,5/10. Naturally the final fight where you see who wins and who loses is hyped. So yeah... that was it.

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.

Record Of Ragnarok, as the name says gets started straightaway with 13 battle between Gods and humans, to decide mankind's existence. The first season spanned 12 episodes covering 3 battles and to be honest, it was not disappointing, but not much of a satisfactory result as well.

The animation by Graphinica (Hellsing Ultimate) was okay, but during the heavy fighting sequences, the animation was terrible and it felt like there were no physical movement between the characters while having a fight. It was sort of pasting the characters directly from the manga into the screen.

The soundtrack was pretty amazing and so was the backstory of the human fighters. The battle between Poseidon and Sasaki was the only super positive point in the whole series. Season 2 would require huge improvement, especially in terms of it's consistent animation and avoiding quirky dialogues.

GOOD Amazing Soundtrack, OST Backstory Of Human Characters Battle between Sasaki vs Poseidon

BAD Animation was weak, especially in the fighting sequences A lot of irrelevant dialogues

My Rating : 7/10.
