Record of Ragnarok

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.

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.

If you came looking for a story driven intens plot liking anime this is not for you. If you just want to see people and gods knock the living hell out of eachother this is def the right anime for you. This season contains 3 big fights ( out of 13) and i enjoyed them all. There is humor in here and the drawing and fighting is on par with today's anime's. I think this Anime deserves a 7,5 but because it has such a low vieuwing im rounding it up to 8.

A brand new Netflix anime just dropped. 13 Human and gods battled each other in the final battle of Ragnarok to determine if humanity will be destroyed by the gods.

The series is the typical fighting anime where characters spend 1000 years talking and having flashbacks before actually fighting for like 10 minutes. There were only 3 matches out of the 13 in the first season, and each took about 4 episodes. If you like this kind of anime, you would probably enjoy this anime as it wasn't unique in its plot formula.

However, the interesting part of the series was that different gods and famous historical figures fought each other. Each character had a flashback, and the flashback served to hype up the character, which is the usual stuff. Of course, the flashbacks were blown and exaggerated.

Coming in, I expected lots of fun actions, even though I was aware that there would be character flashbacks. But oh man, there were just so much narrations compared to actual fighting scenes. The first fight was the worst. I got so dragged and bored at the excessive talking and reactions. The later two matches were better and had more actions. I did have some fun watching those two matches, but still the long narration delayed the excitement and thrill of these fights.

As for animation, it was pretty okay for the most part. Every male character has crazy muscles, and some of the female characters looked excessively erotic. Again, this is the usual stuff. However, some CGI scenes were noticeably bad, especially the one with the guy who played the violin. The hip movements were so unrealistic and weird. It looked like his body was wiggling.

Overall, a fun concept that I found some entertainment in, but the overload of narrations and reactions really dragged the pacing. Hope if they do a season 2, which they probably will, there would be a lot more actual fightings. 5/10.

Record of Ragnarok is an anime series that takes viewers on a thrilling journey through epic battles between gods and humans. The show seamlessly blends mythology, action, and hype, leaving audiences at the edge of their seats.

The storyline is undeniably captivating, showcasing epic duels between deities and formidable human fighters. The build-up to these battles is brilliantly executed, with each character's backstory and motivations adding depth and meaning to the clashes. This aspect of the anime truly makes it a compelling watch for fans of action-packed storytelling.

Furthermore, the concept of having mythical gods pitted against human champions in a grand tournament is a breath of fresh air and provides a unique twist to the typical battle anime genre.

However, while the story shines, the animation quality can be a bit inconsistent. Some fight scenes are impressively fluid and intense, delivering jaw-dropping action sequences. On the other hand, there are moments where the animation seems lacking or rushed, which can be slightly troublesome for immersion.

The character development is commendable, and viewers will find themselves rooting for their favorite fighters as they confront their divine adversaries. Each character represents their culture and mythology mostly with authenticity, showcasing a diverse and well-researched cast of fighters.

In addition to the intense battles, the anime delves into philosophical themes, exploring the essence of humanity and divinity. These thought-provoking elements elevate the series beyond just a spectacle of action.

In conclusion, Record of Ragnarok is a thrilling and hype-inducing anime that explores the depths of mythology while delivering epic battles and captivating storylines. Despite some hiccups in the animation, the compelling buildup and engaging characters more than compensate for any shortcomings.
