Ragnarok the Animation

Many people thinks because this anime is base of a game so it naturally suck and that might be true for another one, but this one is really good.

Story:
some people watch a little of the beginning and saw that it was not game related and then say is not worth watching. well, i think those people watch the anime because of the game's brand name. this anime got a really good plots that come with a good ending. this story also included some romance in it, which makes it even better.if only the game is more like the anime.

Art:
the art was ok since is kinda hard to make tiny figures into full size monsters

Sound:
nothing special

Characters:
the characters all got a very unique relationship with each other, as the story develop, they begin to find their own feeling

Enjoyment:
this story is very enjoyable, when i am watching this anime, time seem to fly by.
some people say is not very enjoyable because is totally different from the game, but that because they play the game to much and watch the anime because of it's brand name.

Overall:
this is a pretty good anime consider is an anime made from a game, but even thought is base of a game, it has a really great plot. also, this is an ANIME, NOT A GAME. a game is restricted by rules to keep it's balance, but how the anime develop is not restricted so dont compare the game to an anime, which is completely 2 different things.

If you are watching this anime because you love the game and expect something very game related, then i suggest you DON"T watch it
However if you are watching this anime because of it's plot and interested in their adventure, then i greatly suggest you watch it.

About 1 year has passed since I finished watching this anime and now that I am writing this.

I've played Ragnarok Online for several years now 4+
I've read the 10 Ragnarok manga chapters.


This game is just an adaptation of the Ragnarok Online game... every information like the locations, monsters, items, graphics, classes is part of the game.
The story and the characters are original from the anime.


I am considering 7 as average.

Story - 7
Story of those people going in an adventurous journey for the sake of justice and then answering their questions, ok. However the journey itself becomes very lame. They just go around the world (not that much distance is covered hmmm maybe region? I want to say the map of the game), and encounter different lame enemies... they just give me this lame feeling.
Each episode, they encounter a different scene... it gets boring making the whole thing boring.
There was however 1 past fact, flashback that was somehow interesting.

Art - 6
Everything was like taken from the game so I do not see what art it has. It's real art is... adapting a MMORPG into an anime, I'll give it that, but I wish they had done it better... much better.

Sound - 6-7
Other than a possibly good OP, and an ok ED, there was no music that attracted me.
The sound effects were normal, ok.
NO, I lied. I was not particularly paying attention at the sound, and it was 1 year ago. I think it was just normal, anyways 6-7

Characters - 6

Each character has some classic characteristics, and they stick very tightly to those classic attributes. Somehow adapting to their classes.
All classic characters = fail
They never walk out from their classic attributes.
Character development? the very normal one.

Enjoyment - 7

The fighting scenes using magics and swords was ok....
Was nice to see some skills from the game being animated in an anime.
Enjoyed that the story was finally over, and their enjoyment of having achieved something big... although it was like normal people SOMEHOW achieving something extraordinary.

Overall - 7

The anime would have been good for a childhood anime. Good anime for 10- year old childs, it really gave me that feeling. The ideas being resolved were at that level.

Very difficult to appreciate this anime if you are not already a Ragnarok fan. It was very fun to watch this anime with other Ragnarok users and discuss what we saw that was similar in the show and in the game :)

Cliffhangers kept me going through the show, always wanted to see what was coming up on the next episode. The animation was also relatively good. Unfortunately, the plot line and characters were nothing new or innovative to anime.

Great opening theme!! =D

Okay, all of you can say that MARS of DESTRUCTION is the worst anime ever.
But at least MARS is just an ova.
Ragnarok the animated series IS 26 CHAPTERS FULL OF S***T!!

Let's just start with this crap:

Story:
I always say that the plot is a vital part of any serie.
Well, this history SUCKS.
Just imagine a generic history of a "good party" against a very bad person, AND NOTHING MORE.

Art:
Art it's good, but just good. Don't expect something better.

Sound:
Nothing memorable but the intro (We are the stars).

Characters:
If the history is BAD, the chars are WORSE.
I can't believe that so stupid and generic characters had ever exist.

Enjoyment:
What?

I know that based on my art and ound score you might think its a nice show, but altogether, it SUCKS.

Story:
I only watched the first epiode, so I can't really tell you about it, but from what I saw, it is really bad.

Art & Sound:
Well, its anime. It's art is nomal. And I never saw an anime with low sound rating, so...

Character:
Well, aside from your every-show rocket team, the background story of the 2 main characters sucks. The new hero for the first chapter (uses ice) is moderate.

Enjoyment:
1 can't really cover it. I never saw a show and dropped it after only 1 epiode.

Overall:
Most people might come and say:"Its a great anime!! What are you talking about?!", well let me explain: You know how you got a show based on a game or manga, and there were some stuff that diden't stick to the real plot or rules? Well its the ame here. Only this time - its not some minor details. If you ever played Ragnarok (RPG, although it is named after the norse version of the apocalipse, it has nothing to do with it) then you would know that the show really fucked some things up. Like, they use a branch in TOWN!! Or, you got a wizard with ice bolt, and a warrior lvl 1, and guess who makes the diffrence when they fight? You got it right, the warrior...
Maybe some will say "that is so irrelevent", but I can't watch a show so unclose to its base story - the game. + Ragnarok had no story anyways, so how can you make a show based on a plotless game?

I know LOADS of better shows. Complete waste of time. read more

Uma aventura montada pela Gravity em parceria com o Gungho Online Entertainment em 2004 e composta por 26 episódios, "Ragnarok – the Animation" introduz o mundo de Rune Midgard a todos os que o assistem, mas para se entender o anime deve-se conhecer primeiro o jogo no qual foi baseado. No Brasil, Ragnarok ficou conhecido há alguns anos, quando foi licenciado.

O jogo se baseia em um mundo fictício conhecido como Rune Midgard. Nele estão estabelecidas suas cidades e, em cada uma delas, seus centros culturais, como: Geffen, a capital da magia; Morroc, a capital dos ladrões; Prontera, a cidade dos Templários; Izlud, a cidade dos espadachins; Alberta, a cidade dos mercadores; Alde Baran, a cidade dos alquimistas; Yuno, a cidade do renascimento. Na versão mais atual do jogo existem outras cidades, como Einbroch e Rachel, deve estar faltando alguma cidade, mas não vou citar todas ^__^l. Algumas pequenas explicações são necessárias aqui: no jogo, criamos personagens conhecidos como aprendizes. Estes podem evoluir após treinamento e, assim, escolher sua profissão conforme suas características, eles podem ser "merchant", "mage", "acolity", "archer", "swordman" ou "thief".

E partindo dessa primeira profissão, para as quais todos devem passar por testes, é que se escolhe a sua segunda profissão, a qual pode variar dependendo dos atributos que você coloca em seus personagens. Traduzindo: muita inteligência se traduz em muito mana, ou seja, ataque mágico ou poderes ligados à magia extremamente fortes, muito usado em magos e acólitos, pois eles se tornarão Bruxos e Sacerdotes; destreza e agilidade são atributos que não podem faltar em arqueiros, pois se tornarão "hunters" ou bardos, e assim consecutivamente, mas os personagens que mais me agradam no jogo são os Assassinos, evoluções de "thief" (ladrões): eles são velozes, fortes e com capacidades quase ilimitadas, pois dependendo de seus atributos, eles serão praticamente intocáveis.

Algumas versões do jogo não acompanham a versão brasileira e já possuem a transclasse, ou seja, o renascimento do personagem para que ele se torne mais forte e mais evoluído. Eu, por exemplo, jogo no KRo (a alguns anos), a versão coreana, onde essas classes já existem, tenho vários personagens, e as mais amadas são minha Creator (a evolução de alquimista) e minha Assassin Cross (evolução de assassino).

O anime se baseia no jogo, a história em si não vale nada, serve apenas para mostrar o caminho da primeira evolução de dois personagens, Roan (um espadachim) e Yuffa (uma acolita) e, em seu caminho, aparecem outros personagens (que também fazem parte do jogo) como uma "hunter", uma maga, uma mercadora e, por último, um assassino que, segundo o jogo, deve ser desleal, traiçoeiro e mortal com suas lâminas... totalmente o contrário de como ele é representado no anime, ou seja, honesto, hospitaleiro e até honrado, disposto a morrer por seus amigos... isso já não deu pra engolir.

Quem conhece o jogo vai reconhecer instantaneamente todos os locais e monstros, por mais esquisitos ou desfigurados que sejam, como a cidade dos mortos - Niffheim - e os esgotos de Prontera, onde Roan encontra-se com um dos chefões do jogo, o Golden Thief Bug.

Ponto positivo: quase todos os personagens presentes no jogo aparecem, desde os porings (melequinha rosa em forma de bolinha) até o Bafomé (o bodão com foice), sem esquecer de vários mini-boss como a Zealotus, a Alice e o Clock Tower Manager. Ponto negativo: os personagens principais são ridículos e sem vida. Yuffa é uma chorona boboca seduzida pelo mal e acaba se tornando extremamente irritante; Roan é um covarde no inicio, melhora muito durante o decorrer da série, mas seu treinamento com uma mestra Templária o torna narcisista e irracionalmente convencido. Os outros personagens ficam em segundo plano, quase sem vida, pois suas histórias só decorrem ao redor dos acontecimentos envolvendo Roan e Yuffa.

A história é extremamente fraca, os personagens são chatos, o design é convencional e sem qualquer efeito, as musicas são fracas e não emocionam ou entusiasmam como deveriam. Em suma, para o admirador do jogo é uma boa pedida, pois ao se comparar o anime à obra original, veremos que a transição foi extremamente fiel; mas para o apreciador de um bom anime, um alerta: CUIDADO!! Vão se decepcionar.

so an anime based on the RPG ...i say it`s quite awesome actually. personally i really loved the game and really got me into it (and my brother too) then i was just really happy when it came on TV and yeah. i just thought the story was quite random though seeing that there are different characters with different backgrounds i mean , i get that , but i was a kid back then and i thought things were quite muddled up. but well it IS based from the RPG and there`s the whole "monster fighting" thing which i found quite enjoyable and i think a lot of people will too if they like the action/fantasy type. it also has a romance twist in it which is cool since i like romance. overall it`s an "ok" to "really cool" level of anime so yeah *thumbs up* :3 read more
