Valkyrie Apocalypse

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
