#The Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar

[somewhere-in-a-microwave]

Does anybody have any ideas on how they could rewrite/revamp MORBOE? (Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar)

Like any redesigns, rewrites and anything, please contact here.

Have you ever heard of "Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar"? It has bad "animation"(if you could even call it that), bad plot, a harem, time skips, awful battles, and worldbuilding that makes no sense! It's twelve episodes long and has both a sub and dub on Crunchyroll.

(Also yes, hi, same person who asked about "Mr Villains Day Off", and "Elegant Yokai Apartment Life" here! Sorry for bombarding your ask in-box, i'll stop for now, until I have more suggestions (maybe))

I don't know if I've heard of that one but i may just file all anime with "Ragnarok" in the under the same tab in my brain

Also it's all good! Suggestions are always welcome!

Have you ever seen two teens any more over their heads than these two teens abandoning their families and friends to marry each other and elope to the fucking Norse-mythology flavored BRONZE AGE and adapt to life in constant warfare without electricity or health care.

Well. This is the finale of The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar... Sigyn thanos snaps Yuuto back to this own world and then he quickly decides he needs to go back to his helpless harem because it was bad timing, and he brings his girlfriend turned wife with him so it’s uhh... it’s the uh. The Good End. 

It’s folly to criticize a story for the elements it doesn’t have, but I like the idea of a fantasy story pivoting into a more mundane story (like Alice & Zoroku) where we see someone cope with living a normal life after having lived such a dangerous and fantastical one -- but I don’t think Ragnarok could have ever remotely succeeded in that way because it didn’t go from a dangerous and fantastical life to a mundane one, it went from a ridiculous and offensive magical harem, and I don’t think that could have been reconciled. It’s kind of like regardless of where the story went, it would be bad, because it’s a terrible concept with terrible execution throughout...

So never mind the inevitably boring ending possibilities, because nothing that could have happened would have made up for: 

First and foremost, rampant p-dophilia throughout. Yikes. 

Being yet another rancid entry into the tragically growing list of recent isekai titles that have, specifically!, underage slaves in the harem  

The obviously fetishistic and vile inc*st elements

The designs... character designs, clothing designs... bad. 

Just being an ecchi, period. The inherent misogyny of that really does render a series unsalvageable for anyone with brain cells!

All of the women/girls in the series, despite almost all of them being warriors, were either wildly under-used (Sigyn) or inexplicably useless (everyone else, save for Siegrune but even then she was pathetically obsessed with Yuuto)

That episode where the archaeologist lady proposed that Yuuto is Fenrir and he’s living in Norse Mythology World and made comparisons from Norse Myths to the characters for a good 5 minutes straight

ONE (1) CAMEL defeating an entire army because the smell of ONE CAMEL made the hundreds, maybe thousands, of horses turn tail and run

And probably many more things I’m not remembering off the top of my head. So the final verdict is that - despite Scarfior and Sigyn who deserve to be in better anime - this series is badly written, badly animated, badly designed, and just plainly disgusting. It’s barely deserving of the 2/10, just for being a smidge less awful than Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody.

Friday’s Feature: The Power of Clichés, Archetypes, and Being Predictable

We all know about anime clichés, archetypes and tropes and we’ve all kind of come to accept that there are certain characters and events that we’re going to run into again and again. However, for some people, the existence of clichés and archetype characters who don’t break the mould are enough for them to scorn a show and turn away from it. They label it unoriginal or boring and might claim it…

[Review] The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar – Episode 1

What’s it about? Yuuto was transported through time to Yggdrasil, a society on Earth from the Bronze Age. Using his still-functional smartphone, he researched tactics and technology and rose to become the patriarch of the Wolf Clan. His goal is to unite all of the land’s groups under one banner, so that he can find a way home.

You see this bar? I’m gonna take it and set it down here, on the ground for a minute. It needs to be in the proper place for my next statement: well, there’s no slavery in it.

Wait, I think it rolled from the ground into a ditch, actually.

The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar (putting aside the irritatingly long title that I refuse to type more than once) is probably the most tolerable isekai harem wish-fulfillment show I’ve seen in a couple seasons.

Quick First Impressions - The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar

No, I didn't put down the wrong title, but you shouldn't watch this show anyway.

No, this is one of the most juvenile, stupid shows I've ever seen, and it's absolutely nothing I should be watching, but I'm going to anyway out of sheer intellectual curiosity. Sometimes as a critic, I feel I need to actually watch something terrible through to the end, so I have perspective on my scores, and it's been a while. This one wasn't as immediately offensive as Demon Lord, so here we are.

This is still a show where the protagonist has been transported to a magical land (the show tries to subvert things by saying it's still on Earth somewhere, but this is more just a convenient reason for the hero still being able to use his phone) and been placed in a powerful leadership role, where he surrounds himself with women and insists that literally every girl around him call him "father" or "big brother", so clearly he's got your standard OreImo siscon trope going, though he's also pretty adamant about refusing their sexual advances, making him pretty impossible to relate to unless you're twelve, so there's your target audience.

I was writing stories like this when I was that age, but I certainly wasn't getting approached by publishers.

So let's see just how dumb this can get!

Sigyn, Witch of Midgardr and the wife of Loptr.

I'm admittedly not a fan of "The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar" and their depiction of Sigyn like:

Her relationship with Loki being painted as toxic or a one sided relationship.

Her manipulating and trying to seduce Loptr for attention. (Not that being seductive is a negative thing!)

Her design, mostly outfit as a whole. It's just too revealing!!

I thought it would be fun to do my own little spin on her! Writing and design wise, so here's how i re-wrote her character, but I'm still sticking with most of her given lore!! :)

!Spoilers ahead for some actual lore, not all was made up by me!

"Sigyn, is one of three powerful witches in the world, known in her region of the world as the Witch of Midgardr. Sigyn was the former founder of the Midgardr tribe also known as the Panther clan, until her marriage to Loptr who she now shares that title with. She's a calm and gentle woman, who takes her role as a leader together with Loptr very seriously.

She's very skilled in magic and through her Inchanting dances casts spells on anyone she targets! Which is probably how she caught Loptr's eye, but it was actual true love. Together they have at least one known son to the public named Narvi, who helps them spy and gain information from any rival clans. Any siblings could be possible, just unknown."

This is most definitely a one time thing, so feel free to take these ideas, since I'm not really into the anime where her character originates from, fun none the less! :)

Now about the changes to her design!

I kept most of her color scheme and tried to stay true to her original design. Small details like moles and tattoos. But I made her hair a darker shade and I also added freckles!

I tried to make her hair more curly or what I can do to make it look anything but straight to give some representation since she looks like a person of color!

I'm aware I made her a look a little more chubby than she actually is, because she's actually very skinny. That wasn't intentional but ngl it's kinda cute! It can be her later in life even 😼✨

My biggest commission to date! Took 29 hours total. Done as a Christmas gift for the commissioner's friend. All the characters are from animes they've watched together.

This anime was practically something I’ve been looking for for a couple of years now.

Imagine being raised from birth in a magical world ravaged by wars and witnessing and participating in all of that alongside your family for your 20ish years of life thus far and then when the time comes for a successor of your clan to me named, 

the leader chooses a random teenage boy who just blipped into existence from the modern era a few years ago and hasn’t held a sword in his life and comparatively must know very little about the culture, foods, politics, agriculture, etc of this land compared to pretty much anyone who has lived here and has no relevant, practical skills beyond being able to read wikipedia pages about battle formations Caesar used
