Shuumatsu no Walküre II

In a shocking turn of events, humanity has won its first battle in the Ragnarök tournament—a series of 13 fights that will decide the fate of mankind. Zeus, the head of gods, sends the demigod Heracles for the next round to avenge the humiliated Greek pantheon. To face this hero loved by gods and humans alike, the Valkyrie Brunhilde decides to use Heracles' complete moral opposite: the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper—leaving human beings unsure who they should support.

Meanwhile, tensions begin to rise between various divine pantheons, and rumors of a traitor jeopardize the unity of those who want to annihilate humanity. As the line between friend and foe becomes blurred, Brunhilde will do everything she can to make her machinations successful.

Please note -
At the time of writing this I also completed "Season 2 part 2" which is only 5 episodes and I certainly believe it belongs attached to this for a total of 15 instead of 10. My opinion expressed here also includes those 5 episodes. If that gets me negative points then so be it but I don't want to write a whole separate review for one single fight all while struggling to avoid spoilers.

Record of Ragnarök II is a continuation of the first and overall I'd say they made a few improvements compared to the first season.

Let me start with what continued ... to the strong for the show in my eyes. I did continue to like the pairings chosen for the fights. I felt kinda bad for one of the gods in this season though but Brunhilde does want to win after all to save humanity. The show also continued to do the short back stories well in this season and if I had to say they did a slightly better job with those this time around

Before I get into what they improved in between seasons I will say that the way in which they ended continues to be a little lacking for me. A winner must be chosen, and someone has to lose to have that happen but it's just the way the show goes about it. I truly didn't expect any side to go 7-0 but really... I am also not expecting each fight to have a decisive victor in the end of every fight either...I don't know, its just the way every fight has boiled down in the final moments has just not been my cup of tea for this series so far...

Now to what I think has improved. I touched on that I think they improved telling back stories in this season. Another thing they improved on and I think this one is a massive improvement is the pacing of the fights. I think a lot of this has to do with the lack of frame cycling and such drawn out talking. The fights this season felt faster and even more action packed this time around, especially after the first one of this season.

Record of Ragnarök has a lot of potential in my eyes and the creators have done a good job overall, especially going from season one to season two. I liked the "surprise" turn of events that happened at some point this season too. Much better then season one for me and a solid watch for the action fans who like a little bit of mythology. Looking forward to season 3 whenever that is supposed to be done with development

Mixed Feelings

The first part of the second season of Record of Ragnarok definitely has seen an improvement in production values. The use of 3D animation is far more desirable than the previous iteration. Unfortunately, passable animation, while an enhancement, is still not enough to overcome the lack of substance in the narrative. The matchups remain amusing, but more is needed to overcome the void left in storytelling. Like before, too many characters leave not enough room for meaningful exploration. The relevant audience members, valkyries, and remaining combatants simply exist, and basic knowledge dialogue explanations leave some characters feeling incompetent. This can be entertaining, but little else.

Preliminary (15/10 eps)

I watched this season somewhat against my will because its previous season did not captivate me at all to continue following the work. But here we are and I must say that, to my surprise, there was a leap in quality (also because it was practically impossible to get worse).

Shuumatsu no Walküre, at first, has a theme that is difficult to go wrong, just comply with all the clichés that the genre proposes and minimally animate a fight, which this season has started to do. All fights are no longer those static and uninteresting frame shows. Now it has a more pleasant visual appeal for ... those who watch it. Nothing fancy or anything, just the basics.

There is still a long way to go to become a "good anime" in my view, but if the growing is maintained, already in the next season we can really start to have a decent anime here. In this season itself, we already had some indications that the story does not seem to be so predictable and this is good, because since the micro of the story and the main attraction, which are the fights of characters from random legends, it is not being so well executed, maybe exploring the lore of these characters before there is a final fight, or even a saga can lead to an interesting conflict, after all, practically all the fights here, the characters shown did not have a bond with those who watched and developed, or tried to develop, these bonds throughout of the fight wasn't the smartest ideas, even more so being done in the dirty way that this anime does.

In addition, it is still a bad anime, but I will still follow. In case you have a lot of time to waste, watch this anime. it may be that "lost time" is actually "invested time".
