Record of Ragnarok II
Oshimeter
Synopsis
When the divine council votes to wipe out humanity, the only thing standing between total annihilation and survival is a tournament: thirteen one-on-one fights, gods versus history's greatest humans. That's the premise of Record of Ragnarok, and this second season picks up right after humanity scores its first upset win. The gods aren't happy about it. Zeus sends Heracles, a demigod who's basically the most likable fighter in the arena, beloved by both sides. Brunhilde, the Valkyrie managing humanity's roster, counters with Jack the Ripper. Yeah, that Jack the Ripper. Victorian London's most notorious serial killer is now humanity's champion, and suddenly you're watching a fight where you genuinely don't know who to root for. The show leans hard into that moral gray area, exploring what justice and redemption actually mean when a hero fights a monster fighting for the species he terrorized. Each human fighter gets paired with a Valkyrie who literally transforms into their weapon, which adds a layer of emotional stakes beyond just punching really hard. The animation from Graphinica steps up here with more fluid fight choreography, and the soundtrack swings between orchestral grandeur and darker, moodier tones that match the seinen edge. If you liked the mythological roster battles of Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works or the raw tournament energy of Kengan Ashura and Baki, this 10-episode ONA hits a similar nerve, but just with way more philosophical weight behind each punch.

I had many doubts about whether to watch it or not, I didn't want it to be a typical fighting anime, but it actually surprised me. I really liked its quality in terms of the drawing, the small changes in the script, the music, and the characters.
It's nice seeing that Brunhilde has her own emotions too even if she rarely shows them in front of others. It honestly made me like her character a lot more.
I'm so happy Raiden was able to help his hometown and his family TOT One thing I really like about this show is how it makes it hard to pick a side once you learn everyone's backstory. They're both giving it their all, so I'm just sitting here feeling bad for whoever has to lose lol
Well im just glad they didn't end up fighting each other to the death. Seeing those two reunite again was really wholesome and probably my favorite part of the episode
I did not expect Shiva to have multiple wives and a son lol that caught me off guard. Also that moment with his muscles and bones made me physically recoil, that looked so painful
The Valkyrie paired with the sumo wrestler is such a perfect match lol their energy works so well together. I also love how they redesign the entire arena to fit each round's theme
I honestly didn't expect the outcome of this round TOT Buddha's design is so cool though. The moment he showed up, he instantly stole my attention
Hercules' speech about humanity was honestly pretty powerful. You can really see why he's such a respected character. I know some people aren't a fan of the 3D animation, but personally I thought the fight scenes still looked amazing!
Jack has such a sad backstory too, sad that it turned like that with his mother. And I hate how the little Valkyrie was forced to become a divine weapon against her will :/
Interesting that we got more backstory of the gods' side this time instead of just the humans. Also love Hercules's theme song lol
Jack the Ripper is so unserious lol. The scenes with Goll and Hercules were wholesome too. The ending was actually beautiful. I also thought it was really cool seeing historical figures like Shakespeare and Doyle show up, that was a nice touch.
The end of the fight was fire, the end of this fifth combat is still one of the bests for me, they showed with high respect the fighters and the people who supported them. The second half of the ep is a tranquil scene, really liked this one:)
The color scale was specially pretty good, the fight was diverse on the techniques, it´s interesting and keeps me on the edge of my seat about what´ll happen next, good!
This episode makes reference to Shiva´s past, it shows us the reasons behind his behaviour, there was hindu music all over the ep, the way they fight changes to make the ep more dinamic.
Every time that Shiva appears on screen sounds hindu music on the background making reference to his culture, the fight scenes effects are awesome, though the narrative is a bit slow...
In this episode not much happened and present us the next fighters without profundizing, the graphics and soundtrack are excellent:)
The finale of the fight was well written, the animation improved mainly in backgrounds, a bunch of characters are presented. That is all I have to say, it is a great episode!
This episode is more focused on the present story, it also shows more about the fighters feelings and how it is percieved by the public on the arena, makes the fight entertaining, I like it. Hercules is made of cgi sometimes...
This one is pretty dark in both scenes and plot, since they had a filter when remembering and the fight scenes are on night. Is a real interesting episode and everything was fine:)
This episode simply took too much time to talk of Hercules past and let aside the fight in a bad way, the voice acting of Jack in japanese is perfect for a physchopath! But the animation had some weird moments for the cgi..
