Record of Ragnarok is a manga with several awards, made into an anime by Girls und Panzer studio Graphinica, picked up by Netflix and then aborted from streaming in several countries.
The problem? Deities from (and outwith) contemporary faiths in a fight to the death with human warriors to determine the fate of the species. Some of the most controversial bouts, the most sacrilegious, are in season two, which is coming to Netflix in 2023.
Season one had a naked Adam strutting his stuff, and Record of Ragnarok 2 seems to have Shiva, Jack the Ripper, Buddha and Beelzebub. Buddha is perhaps a turncoat (which puts him on humanity’s side, right?)
We might even get an Ironman-style Nikola Tesla.
The first batch of episodes will air in January, and the last third later on in 2023.
Warner Bros, who are involved with the distribution, provide this synopsis;
7 million Years of Human Civilization is coming to an end…
Every 1000 years, all the Gods of the world gather in heaven to attend the “Conference of Mankind Survival”.
All the Gods agree to bring an ultimate end to the mankind due to their past foolish acts but before the final verdict is made, Brunhild, the eldest of the 13 Valkyrie sisters make and objection.
“To spice things up, why donʼt you test humans?”
Her proposal was to have God vs Humanityʼs final struggle also known as the “Ragnarok”, where all the Gods from the world and champions from the entire human history enters 1 on 1 battle. The first team to win 7 battles out of 13 will be the winner.
It seems almost impossible for the humans to win against the Gods.
Although Gods sneer at them, Brunhild makes further provocation;
“Are you chickening out?”
That touches Godsʼ nerves and they accept her proposal in anger.
Therefore, Brunhild and her sisters must choose 13 of the strongest champions throughout the human history.
Will humans surpass Gods and make an stop to the ultimate end?
The eschatological battles between heaven and earth finally begin!
