The first season of Record of Ragnarok, an explosive adaptation of Shinya Umemura and Takumi Fukui's manga, is now available to stream in its entirety on Netflix. The series pits twelve of humanity's greatest figures against twelve powerful gods in a series of one-on-one duels to decide the fate of mankind, a premise that immediately sets a high-stakes, mythological action spectacle.
Produced by Graphinica, known for their work on Hellsing Ultimate and Wynx Club, the anime brings a vibrant, often brutal, visual style to the clash between deities and historical legends. Viewers can expect a blend of fantasy, historical figures, and intense martial arts action, with the first season covering the initial rounds of this divine tournament.
With a MyAnimeList score of 7.33 from over 150,000 voters, Record of Ragnarok has garnered a significant audience drawn to its ambitious concept and over-the-top combat. The series doesn't shy away from gore or the dramatic weight of its premise, presenting each fight as a desperate struggle for survival.
The first season concludes with several bouts unresolved, setting the stage for the recently aired second season, Record of Ragnarok II, which continues the tournament. For those seeking a high-octane fantasy action series with a mythological bent, the complete first season offers a compelling entry point into this ongoing saga.
