Ragna Crimson

Said to be humanity's natural enemy, formidable dragons that belong to an ancient bloodline roam the world. Only two ways prove effective to kill a dragon: freezing their blood with silverine—an aura that comes from silver weapons—or letting their bodies be incinerated by sunlight.

Young hunter prodigy Leonica is accompanied by her close friend Ragna, who appears to lack the skills necessary in their profession. Moreover, many shun Ragna, considering him cursed because dragons always seem to attack him and slaughter his close ones. Nevertheless, Leonica sees potential in Ragna and gladly partners up with him. Likewise, Ragna feels certain that Leonica is immune to his misfortune thanks to her incredible strength.

His confidence is shaken, however, when Ragna dreams of Leonica's death, believing this to be a prophecy. As the destined day arrives, he comes face-to-face with his future self, who bestows him enormous power and memories from the future to ensure Leonica's safety. In order to succeed, Ragna must join forces with a mysterious figure known as Crimson and eradicate all dragons for good.

Episode 1 is just too great to skip even for a second and then the anime fast pacing is both good and bad at the same time but the world building is still great for 24 episode anime it's really for people who likes action anime and wants some fight scenes even though the animation is not great it's still medicore it would be really great if they just give the final fight better animation but i still want to watch a season 2 for Ragna crimson, Therefore if you want to watch the anime where mc is op and a good story with interesting ... side characters

Mixed Feelings

This should have been an outstanding experience, in terms of genre, Ragna Crimson has the basic foundation of a good Shounen anime.

The main character (Ragna) struggles through unjust circumstances and is consumed by vengeance, in a world overruled by a terrible and abusive power (Dragons), who's main drive is to threaten human survival. Then, alongside a large group of like-minded and exceptionally strong characters (the Argentum Corps), battles against this oppressive force in an all out war that would decide the fate of the world.

The animation was great, the fight scenes were well choreographed and the main cast was likeable, through their determination and unbreakable ... constitutions. Humour was a consistent factor that kept the dialogue from being too stuffy. All characters were fresh and had depth to their resolve, with unique designs that was ecstatically pleasing.

However, the world-building was simply confusing. This series couldn't decide between fantasy, science fiction or religious supernatural power. The abilities of the dragon's made very little sense, their hierarchy and existence in this world seemed pointless. Ultimatia, who was extraordinarily vain, made impulsive decisions based on her own emotional state. She was unintelligent, delusional and exhausting to watch, not befitting of a proper antagonist profile (Ironically, Crimson would have been far more suitable). Self-preservation was her only motivation, massacring the human race was simply in her nature as a dragon, but they had no real reason to do so.

It had a great amount of potential, but was poorly executed and left open for (what's hoped to be) another season.

Preliminary (17/24 eps)

Ragna Crimson has a similar feeling to Berserk, but it is miles behind in execution.

Unfortunately, this show could've thrived with good production and directing, but we got the exact opposite of it. And the characters aren't charismatic neither - most are just men-children - and plotholes plus poor worldbuilding are the nails in the coffin for Ragna Crimson.

Besides all that, there is also a problem with stakes, as the mcs are too strong and it is quite clear they won't die during the first arcs of the show. The side characters are also not developed enough for us to care deeply about them, in part ... because we expect them to be killed (considering the show's themes), and in part because they don't contribute much to anything.

In the end, Ragna Crimson has very slow pacing, and the lack of production plus the mediocre writing remove most of the enjoyment one could get from the scene by scene. I don't recommend Ragna Crimson to anyone, I think Berserk 2016 is quite better and everyone was complaining about how bad that show was.
