 The wraparound band on the ninth volume of Shuumatsu no Walküre (Record of Ragnarok) announced a television anime adaptation for the manga on Saturday. Warner Bros. Japan simultaneously opened an official website, revealing staff, cast, a teaser visual (pictured), and teaser promo. The anime series will debut in 2021.Synopsis High above the realm of man, the gods of the world have convened to decide on a single matter: the continued existence of mankind. Under the head of Zeus, the deities of Ancient Greece, Norse mythology, and Hinduism, among others, call assembly every one thousand years to decide the fate of humanity. Because of their unrelenting abuse toward each other and the planet, this time the gods vote unanimously in favor of ending the human race. But before the mandate passes, Brunhild, one of the 13 demigod Valkyries, puts forth an alternate proposal: rather than anticlimactically annihilating mankind, why not give them a fighting chance and enact Ragnarök, a one-on-one showdown between man and god? Spurred on by the audacity of the challenge, the divine council quickly accepts, fully confident that this contest will display the utter might of the gods. To stand a chance against the mighty heavens, Brunhild will need to assemble history's greatest individuals, otherwise the death knell will surely be sounded for mankind.

| Aye, been meaning to read this one for a while. Whenever I see it, it reminds of Choujin Sensen. |
 |
| Heard of this one a while back and thought I should read it some time. Now that there is an anime adaptation, looks like I can simply wait. Studio seems to be in good hands by the look of things, and the cast looks pretty spicy. Looking forward to hearing Gligamesh's voice from one of them, haha. Opening sequence artist though? Very interesting. |
| Never read this, but this premise sounds awesome. I have a very good feeling that this will be pretty popular if done right. |
 |
| This is going to be so hype!!>:D> |
   |
| Please have good animation, this series deserves it! I've been keeping up with this manga for a while now and I knew that an anime adaptation would be inevitable. From the teaser it's hard to say much but at least the music sounds good. |
| Really hyped for this one. |
 |
| One of those manga that always interested, but I guess I´m giving the anime a chance instead. |
| :v |
| Looked at cast. Is this a reverse harem, lol? |
 |

So I'm hoping for high-quality animation. If I was reading manga, I wouldn't be joking about the cast. So, its like god Kengan Ashura? |
|
| ooh, I find out about the manga just a few days ago, what perfect timing. I'm looking forward to this anime. |
 |
| this is action flick and somehow the PV didn't impress me at all, which is bad things since the visual are it's main appeal. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Haven't heard of this thing until now, but it sounds cool as fuck. I will probably read the manga first since adaptation of a battle manga with designs this complex by a mid studio most likely won't live up to expectations. |
| Is this happening?Yes,it's happening. |
| This will be torn apart, but I'm looking forward to it. If done right the epicness can still be done justice, even without tons of fluid animation. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The manga is awesome, let's hope the anime does it justice. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| the manga is literally fight after fight so my only concern is the animation |
 ”A fight isn't won once a victor is decided, it's won when someone loses.” – Izayoi SakamakiI don’t even know the real names of the two… no, three that I killed back then. I just closed my eyes, put my hands over my ears and tried to forget it all.” – Kirito MY ANIME LIST |
| Great premise and character design in this series but sadly really badly executed. Hopefully anime can save it and sure it can since its just fight after fight of mankind's greatest warriors vs Gods of different mythologies. Can def work well in anime format. |
 |
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKING SHIT MIYUKI SAWASHIRO MY QUEEN I MISSED YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THERE ISNT ENOUGH MATERIAL FOR A GOOD PACING IN 12 EPS THO BUT STILL THEY NEED TO MAKE ADAM AND SASAKI'S FIGHT PLLEEEEEEEEASSSEEEEEE. 2021 already best year no contest |
| Wow, cannot belive it has getting an anime adaptation that relatively soon. The trailer got my hyped even if it didn't show much. The staff looks solid, so I hope it ends being good, even if it probably wouldn't get to the level of the manga. Also, time has happened since I saw Miyuki Sawashiro starring in a main role. And as Brunhilde of all characters, couldn't have wished for a better choice to voice her tbh. |

All depicted as muscular warriors with magical flashy superpowers. Some of the humans who will fight: Some of the gods fighting Is like a Fate/something meets God of HighSchool. As long as they dont fuck up pacing like GOHS (giving to few episodes to adapt to many chapters) and the animation is consistent and good, it will be a good timewaster. Nothing legendary in terms of plot or chars, mind you... |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Id rather read it. That staff with what I heard the story was spells disaster. But it got me interested in the manga at least. |
 |
| Fuck yes, I’ve been waiting for this announcement |
 |
| Looks pretty interesthing. |
 |
| the animation looks intense, definitely going to watch it on the day it releases. |
