Netflix coming in hot with another trash ass anime. last time it was house of husband and then they gave us Yasuke now they hit us with Record of Ragnarok. I personally believe Record of Ragnarok is way worse than those 2 animes.

Like most people who watch anime I love me some action packed anime with fluid fight scenes and Record of Ragnarok could've been exactly that but no, Netflix had to fuck it up. It blows my mind how a billion dollar company is okay with producing some trash anime like this.
I first heard about Record of Ragnarok like 10 months ago when Adam and Zeus fight was happening but I didn't read the manga cause I heard it was getting an anime adaptation and just assumed that the fights were gonna be much cooler when its animated and now I'm regretting my decision. I should've just read the manga.
For people who haven't seen the anime I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ANIME. Why you may be asking? Lets begin with the terrible animation. 90% of time the anime isn't even animated its literally just a bunch of pictures put together to make a 23 minute long slide show. Did you know animation means "illusion of movement or the state of being full of life " and Record of Ragnarok has none of those. In Record of Ragnarok all you see is still images you see little to no movement and sometime you hear people talking even though they have their mouth completely shut.
▶ VideoRecord of Ragnarok being a anime that is focused on one big tournament I was expecting the fights to be on same level as god of highschool and well that's not what we got here. Thanks to the appalling animation we get fight scenes that are god awful and its not just the animation that makes the fights bad its also the terrible and unnecessary commentary over the fight. The anime will throw in backstory in the middle of the fight which will take away your immersion, one moment you see two characters fighting next moment you see a 5 min long backstory about those characters. I like the backstory cause it adds more story and personality for characters but the execution is horrible.▶ Video ▶ Video
Overall I think anime could've been so much better and way more enjoyable if the animation was great and they would actually fight in the fight scenes instead of just, throws one hit, crowd goes crazy, commentator says some dumb shit, and than they show a backstory for who ever is fighting. The worst part about this anime is how its a Netflix original and Netflix could've given it way more budget but instead we got this PowerPoint presentation. Cant wait to see what garbage Netflix gives us next.
