Shûmatsu no Valkyrie

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
