Shuumatsu no Walküre

Both shows are are set up in similar ways with a laser-focused lens on Tournament-style combat bouts. The primary difference is that Record of Ragnorok features heroes of legend instead or original characters.  

Both anime are tournament based and in both anime human using god’s power  

Both have muscular men fighting, amazing OST and similar masculine character designs. 

both are made from the same studio both are tournament-based i favor the two of 'em since they're so good <3 

1. Both are related to historical characters/figures. 2. Both are action-packed and have multiple strategies during a battle Highly recommend both the series and yes don't skip the ending song of drifters  

Strong people fight each other and most characters have ridiculous backstories 

Overpowered super-beings fighting it out in a tournament style battle. Want a single fight to last 3-4 episodes? This is for you. Do you love really long power-ups?.. This is for you. Want to see a guy launch a godlike attack, then cut to a sequence of his entire backstory, then near the end of the episode, cut back to watch him actually fight?.. This is for you. Great fight scenes, but you've gotta have that DBZ patience that we all learned to have back in the day. Also reminds me a lot of Saint Seiya. Long weapon animation power-ups and the like... Overall, not too bad. Simple, straight forward, battle anime. read more 

EPIC VS fights. Mythology, man with superpowers/cyborg vs. demon/god. Face to Face yelling greatly focusing on clashing hits. 

EPIC VS fights. Face to Face yelling greatly focusing on clashing hits. Fight to the death/finish. Both sides NOT LEAVING "until I kill the enemy" 

Both contain an extreme amount of action and violence. Select group of warriors chosen throughout ancient history are chosen to do battle. Very heavy on the 1v1 

both are tournament-based bloody battles to death beroes with different power and tricks
