Nothing about this show really stands out as particularly good or as egregiously bad, with the exception of the fanservice & ecchi - there's just too much of it for the series to be taken particularly seriously. There are, however, several interesting features to Master of Ragnorok that pull the standard up somewhat above the average level of Isekai trash: The art is pretty run of the mill, character designs are okay, but the backgrounds are sparse for the most part. Fights are not well choreographed, with lots of stills and talking ruining the fun. The strength is probably the story and set-up. We have an isekaied MC, Yuuto, but the setting (the World of Yggdrasil) is a sort of tribal late bronze-age, rather than your standard medieval fantasy world. Unusually Yuuto has no special abilities at all, however certain rare individuals are 'Einherjar' - possessing magical abilities that may have uses in or out of combat. These individuals are typically aristocracy or act as generals if their abilities are useful in combat. Despite this, Yuuto has the task of seeing his tribe beat all comers in a series of battles and other encounters as the series progresses. Where Yuuto has an advantage is that he brought his (conveniently solar powered) smartphone with him, having been Isekaied through a magic mirror portal from our world to Yggdrasil, which may or may not be the distant past of Earth. Each world has one of these mirrors, and when Yuuto is in close proximity to the mirror in Yggdrasil he can get a signal and use his phone to research useful technologies or strategies to help him out. He also speaks to his childhood friend, who was present when the mirrors Isekaied him and keeps the Earth mirror on her desk. Having his phone has helped Yuuto immensely, the story actually starts two whole years after he was summoned to Yggdrasil and his historical research and strategising has enabled him to become acknowledged as leader of the Wolf clan, starting from a low point of not even being able to speak the local language (we get a few glimpses of the backstory in flashback throughout the series). The in-world clan lore seems to be a huge problem for a lot of this show's detractors, the clans have a 'Patriarch' and a ceremonial system in which the members of a clan and others (if there are subordinate clans or certain diplomatic arrangements) are designated as the Patriarch's family members. This being largely a harem, we therefore have half a dozen girls calling the MC 'onii-sama' or even 'otosan' - while literally throwing themselves at him and rubbing their breasts on him. It's worth bearing in mind that none of these girls are remotely related to Yuuto, who is literally from another world, but apparently the mere suggestion of Incest sets off people's panic alarms. Characters and character development are not one of the show's strong suits, they are little more than cardboard cut-out tropes. Sharing Yuuto's ziggurat we have: the busty blonde girl who summoned Yuuto, the flat warrior (white hair) who is one of wolf clan's two best warriors, the flame-haired Smith who makes the clan's weapons (from iron, thanks to Yuuto, which is what gives the clan their biggest edge), the Pink haired leader of the clan that the wolves defeat in episode 1, a pair of young girls from the claw clan (purple and green hair). All of them are Einherjar, they are all predictably in love with Yuuto. So is his childhood friend incidentally. None of these characters undergoes any real character development during the series, and neither does Yuuto. Really they are not much more than walking flirting machines when the plot is not going on, and there is entirely too much of the flirting and not enough plot to make the series one I could recommend. On the other hand, there is plot and the story does amble along, so it is not as bad as e.g. Smartphone. Speaking of which this series even does a far better job of implementing the smartphone than Smartphone does - since it is not just a prop for magic that works 'because the Isekai God made it so', but an actual smartphone with recognisable smartphone functions, that can't get signal if it is too far from the magic mirror. So we have a non-OP MC in an unusual setting, where the Isekai vector actually relates to the plot. All of which makes it more interesting than a number of other shows. On the other hand we have excessive and awkward ecchi / fanserive moments and a near total lack of character development. You might want to check it out for the ideas, but don't be surprised if you are put off by the execution.

My second worst anime after val x love. What was happening there!!! What was they were trying to imply. Too boring. In terms of boredom it is my number one pick. There wasn't any story. Animation was kinda fair. Characters were too porn. Every character looked same to me. There were too many logical issues to mention. Like how can a mobile battery survive for years without anything. How can a noob swordsman can beat a veteran. And so on. The MC is the weakest. Too much boring to handle. Is there anything I enjoyed? Yes. Boobies. The ecchi scenes were dull. But I enjoyed that a little bit. What I enjoyed the most was the dark skin girl. Damn she was so hot. Watch the show just for her and to see her hotness. There were some small jokes that hardly make you smirk. Try it when you have patience. Make your own opinion after completing the show instead of relying on others review.

1st and foremost this anime feels like your starting on the 2nd or 3rd season, and like multipule seasons was compressed into one. it was so bad that i had to go back and check if i missed a season. important characters would show up out of no where, and many things are told to you as an afterthought with no real back story. to top it off, everything is rushed, and that comes with all of the problems you would expect. a lot of plot holes, and a lot of one-dimensional characters ment to be slated into a harem for the MC that doesn't want it. there are often conclusions that feel like a stretch or are just wrong. i also have to say that i don't normaly mind harem animes, but there is a big issue when the MC states that he is already in a relationship and doesn't want to cheat. but the cliche anime harem plot holes will force the scenarios that the MC doesn't want and even gets angry over. i will avoid saying anymore due to spoilers, other than the scenario that is laid out is just bad for all parties involved. this anime just hurts my head.
