Review of Record of Ragnarok II Part 2
If you're in the "third season" you know what this series is, how the production is, and how it works. You probably also liked the first two parts (as did I, they're a joy to watch). So, here what I'm gonna do is go over the things particular to this part, and sometimes draw comparisons to the standard the series has set up for itself. The main thing about Ragnarok is the characters. Since the animation is not particularly eye candy, the battles can be engaging but you usually are still invested in what happens because you like/dislike the characters, and that is what made mewrite this review.
The fighter of the Gods is boring, pain and simple. Let's take a character that has one characteristic and extended the fight for 5 episodes, oh, and let's have him be the perfect counter for the fighter of mankind in the most silly of ways. Also, let's have him be this unknown creature whose characteristic is be evil. Oh, but that sounds silly so let's give him a backstory that....is even more silly (probably to just introduce what is one of the most famous characters in mythology, which is even more disappointing).
While the other fights were more about letting the characters shine using their own fighting style against their opponent, this is just a poor attempt to mask (I'm hoping they were trying to mask what they were doing, because if you make this and think its good I start to imagine that the author has changed). Sorry, parenthesis were too long, let's try this again.
While the previous fights were about people fighting their own way and that's gonna be it, never letting them be sucked by their opponent vibes and just stuck to what they do best, this one is a big evil strong guy that is strong...because he can cancel the opponents abilities. But no no, he can overwhelm the opponent because he is strong and not because of pure convenience. Also, he is boring. His first form is also boring as heck. Completely one note with a depth of a pond.
Let me remind you again that this can get even worse because he is fighting against a cool character (for Ragnarok standards).
So you made a boring and convenient fight, wasted three characters potential, did the most undeserving first appearance of one of the most famous characters in mythology, and that thing took 5 freaking episodes.
Btw, I'm writing this review on the anime but I cannot see how the manga could be better for this arc in particular. Heck, the manga is probably worse because it must have taken way longer to see it through.
My recommendation, watch in 2x or just jump. I did this for episode 14 since I could not care anymore (I did try, I watched 4 full episodes of the 5, but when the 14th hit I could not bother anymore).
