Warner Bros Japan released the hotly anticipated trailer for the upcoming anime adaptation for Record of Ragnarok. Based on the manga Shumatsu no Valkyrie: Record of Ragnarok, the story is that the pantheon of Gods is deciding if the human race should continue to live or die in some apocalyptic end. This deliberation is called “Conference of Mankind Survival.” During this meeting, most of the gods are in favor of ending mankind as we know it. In a last minute attempt, the Valkyrie Brynhilde interrupts the meeting and proposes that the humans prove themselves in a series of 1 on 1 battles against the gods. The gods laugh at Brynhilde but she soon provokes them:
They fall for her provocation and thus the battles begin. The first fight is between the Thunder God Thor vs Chinese Hero of Legend Lu Bu. This anime will be directed by Masao Okubo with animation by Graphinica. So far a released date has not been settled, but it’s scheduled for a 2021 release. Hopefully it comes to HBOMax. Check out the teaser trailer below:
