Ragna Crimson Episode 1 Discussion

@MeanEYE Yep I get what you mean mate, oh well, I hope that part didn't ruin it for other watchers out there.

The weakest part of Ragna Crimson is the beginning but damn, it gets really good later, give this anime a couple of episodes, and then you will see how good the story becomes, at least the manga is pretty good in that regard, I'm still skeptical with the anime but let's see how it handles the next episodes.

@xZabuzax so far, for me, beginning is strong enough. I liked the rest of the two episodes. At times it feels a bit kinky if you take their age into consideration but if you look at them as siblings it works out. But overall really strong start and there were very few annoying things. I even liked the slow build up and pacing. We'll see how it progresses. Am not a huge fan of this studio although they had some good shows.

@MeanEYE Yeah I'm not a fan of this studio either but I'm glad you are enjoying it, I really love the manga and I want the best possible anime adaptation for it, Ragna Crimson has some really damn good fights ahead, I hope this studio gives those fight scenes the justice it deserves.

@xZabuzax that's my biggest fear. Weakest point of these two episodes were fights. They kind of rushed through them or at least didn't dedicate enough time. From the story I got the feeling Ragna got super strong, I mean he is called the reaper of dragons, but from the animation it was meh. As if they casually glanced over it, made some still images move to make it look like body parts falling apart and called it good enough. We'll see. Hopefully this improves.

@MeanEYE Yeah that's my biggest complaint about this episode too, that being said, this boss is one of the weakest and he got one shot so maybe the studio didn't put a lot of effort into this fight, the studio will probably not put much effort in bottom-tier dragons like him but the Dragon Monarch or top-tier dragons? oh boy, that's a whole different story, this studio better not fuck this up with those fights.

Soooo how old is Ragna...?

My first thought is this falls into a "reincarnate into the younger self in the past" category. But there's more to that. At first I'm not sure about two voice actors for Ragna, but it's actually the message that this anime treats Ragna as of now and Ragna from the future as different person. Ragna as of now doesn't experience pain and loss like Ragna from the future.

But honestly, God getting angry over cake restaurant makes me not sure if I have to take this anime seriously or not. I mean Superior Dragon in human form has such a majestic design, if God just gets a generic tsundere loli design I'd be disappointed.

Kinda not worth the 40mins just to get the one scene but ill give it 2 more episodes

the episode was great and i enjoyed it quite a lot
but did i miss something or they did not tell "what price he paid for that transfer of power (perma/temp?) and is that thing some kind of a big spoiler?

edit:thnx @xZabuzax
