Synopsis

The gods of the world—from Greek to Norse to Hindu mythology—gather every one thousand years to make one important decision: whether or not to wipe out mankind. Repulsed by humanity's selfishness, the council unanimously votes to destroy all humans. But before the decree is enacted, Brunhilde, one of the 13 Valkyries of Valhalla, interrupts the meeting to give mankind a chance at survival.

Brunhilde proposes the idea of enacting Ragnarök, an event in which the strongest 13 mortal warriors fight against 13 gods in one-on-one matches. Although the trial is ridiculed by the gods, the demigod takes advantage of their pride and forces them into an agreement. However, Brunhilde herself must recruit the mightiest heroes throughout humanity's thousand-year history and guide them to victory before they meet their untimely demise.

Firstly, I'd like to preface this as someone who has NOT read the manga yet, but I do plan to eventually. This anime is actually genuinely really good, and I think you should give it a shot. When you first go into it, it feels ridiculous. The concept of actual historical figures and gods fighting to the death is strange and weird, the designs for said historical figures and gods make you laugh. But as you go...it's insane. Like in a good way. You get hit with emotions more and more, every time it starts to just feel silly again, you're thrown back into it ...

In short: Watch only if you have patience. Otherwise read the manga.

After being in my bucket list ever since it first aired back in 2021, I decided to give it a watch just now, and I must say that this anime is NOT accurate lore-wise. And the pacing is just another letdown.

If you are looking for cool fights, and
you are not into mythologies and stuff, not sensitive, and ok with weird logic, then you can watch it. For someone who is interested in mythologies, this anime was hurting to watch. The power scaling is also not good.

Animation and pacing are just another letdown, I ...

This anime is what happens when you take a promising concept/manga, the tell the studio to produce it with a tenth of the budget you initially promised.

Coming from a non manga reader, the entire concept seemed super enticing: Famous human in history fighting powerful Gods in mythology. The anime does a good job in providing flavourful and conceptually fresh designs for well know figures such as Loki or Jack the ripper.

Unfortunately this is almost all the good thing I can say about the anime.

I have heard previously that watching Record of Ragnarok is basically watching a PowerPoint presentation, and it was not wrong. So ...

Interest Stacks
