Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar anime
-
Crunchyroll will be streaming, begins airing July 7, 2018.
-
Nice. JNC has been on a roll with these licenses lately. Time to start reading this one after Dendrogram catch up.
-
Hmm. I was hoping for a Realist Hero anime, but I guess this will have to do. I haven't really tried the prepubs for this one, but the time skip at the beginning reminded me of Bluesteel Blasphemer, which I didn't enjoy all that much.
-
Well now we know why this got licensed.
-
Hopefully this one doesn't get delayed for a year like Arifureta.
-
Very short preview:
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

@myskaros I'm getting Death March vibes from that preview. I am looking forward to the Summon a Demon Lord anime much more than this, since I believe both will premiere this July.
-
@myskaros Really short, but not bad looking. Have to wait a couple of months and see how it looks when finished.
-
@legitpancake I never saw any of the Death March PV, but I didn't see anything that reminded me of it. I'm looking forward to IsekaiMaou as well, but I'm more nervous about it than Ragnarok.
-
@myskaros Hmmm. I dunno. Still too early to make a call IMO.
That was a surprisingly hard-to-read preview. I guess they'll be relying more on the script rather than presentation. I just hope they don't rely too much on the heroines.
-
According to Crunchyroll, they are apparently co-producers for the upcoming anime and have confirmed they will be streaming it.

First episode was decent enough. The animation was pretty simple and faces were off model a fair amount, but the script felt pretty competent, the fan service didn't feel too intrusive, and the story seemed served well. The episode felt a little bloated with explanations and exposition, but that's about par for course, plus I always felt volume 1 was extremely sparse on content, so hard to ding the anime for it. Overall, holding judgment until we get some of the more dynamic action scenes.

@myskaros I thought it was pretty good, but my kid sitting next to me was completely lost, not to mention irritated by the constant mentioning of clan/family relationships.
Not to different from how the reactions to the start of the LN went with that two year time skip.
-
It was a nice touch hinting instead of blatantly exposition-ing at the isekai origin through the OP. The whiplash of the time skip was really jarring in vol. 1.
The OP also is spoiler heavy showing Mitsuki either being a reincarnation of an Ygddrasil person or maybe getting isekai'd herself? I don't know what it means yet.
The pacing felt rushed to me since they skipped out on a lot of details plus the "camera" direction consisted of panning shot - panning shot - wide shot - panning shot. Not a great first impression for me.
-
Oh dear. I just checked it out. I think the first episode really shows EMT Squared's lack of experience in handling longer series. I'm really worried about this.
Thankfully, it looks like they at least have a fairly competent scriptwriter.
I wonder how the reactions were in Japan.
-
Seems Crunchyroll have decided to change Sigrún to Siegrune now as of ep 2.
Pace is a bit high too, covering volume 1 in 2 episodes. I know volume 1 wasn't the longest, but still no need to rush through the material.
Wouldn't be surprised if they skip volume 3 all together either.
-
@sniper_samurai I was just going to post that right now after watching episode 2 lol
The starting pace is indeed high with 2 episodes per-volume. And they skipped quite a lot of things too given this pace. If it keeps going like this I might stop watching until the LN catches up...
-
@terabyte This was exactly what I was worried about. I had noticed that the LN had a lot of parts that can be skipped. But man, it sure does take the sweeping feel away.
-
Ok. So it's not just me that's going "Wow! We are flying thru the story." If they blow thru volume 2 in two episodes and skip volume 3, I might be stopping, or at least pausing, this anime. How they handle Yuuto meeting Steinporr could make or break this anime.
While looking up how to spell Steinporr, I realized that they covered almost 1/4 of volume 2 already. This is way to fast.
