As for the anime... well, let's see.
Story 3/10
I felt like the plot went ahead way too fast, like it was rushed and poorly pierced together with clichés in order to make it interesting, but the writing was awful and it was so cheesy I mostly spent the entire time mocking this anime. Given that this anime was mostly based from the MMORPG, it had a lot more of libertities to follow the story of the main party on Rune Midgard - but it was just a disaster.
Art 6/10
Ok, I'll be honest, even though the artwork isn't what most people would call a masterpiece, it is pretty decent for an anime. The outfits for the characters stick to the original ones found in the videogame, and the backgrounds are pretty well drawn, but as stated before, it's just fair enough for an anime.
Sound 4/10
Nothing too pretty about the music, but nothing too bad either. Just okay, I suppose. I must say, though, that the battle music wasn't all fit for a battle at all, but overall the soundtrack is just ok.
Character 2/10
Now, I think this is the biggest downfall in Ragnarok the Animation. The characters are too one-dimensional and it's difficult to relate to them, if it is even possible. Roan and Yuufa, in particular, are pretty poor for main characters, in fact, I'd even go as far to say that Takius and Maya are one of the few interesting characters in the series (and that says a lot, though Maya's background is way over the top)
The bad guys are also uninteresting, bland and uncharismatic, relying on only being bad with not very solid motives behind so and full of clichés. Dark Lord, in particular, was just wasted potential, specially given all the fuss they make about him earlier in the story.
Enjoyment 4/10
Between all the poor writing, the ok artwork and the badly-done plot, neverthless it is an anime to pass time when you have nothing else to watch, and also to laugh while mocking its worst flaws. Really.
Overall 5/10
Ragnarok the Animation, while not the ultimate worse piece of animation ever made, it is still quite mediocre compared to other fantasy anime. Just an ok adaptation that could've been a lot better than it was.
