Ragnarok Online Anime & RO Anime

If you are a fan of Ragnarok Online then you might be interested in knowing that there is a Ragnarok Online anime based on the game itself. While it’s not massively popular in the United States, the game is extremely popular in Asia with many subscribers in Japan and Korea. The RO anime is set in the same world as that of the game, Rune-Midgard, but has a bit of a different theme then the game itself. The story is set with a cast of characters taken from some of the Ragnarok comic book series. Among the good characters (Protaginists) that can be seen in the Ragnarok Online anime series include:

• Maya – Merchant
• Yufa - Acolyte
• Takius - Mage
• Roan - Swordsman
• Iruga - Assassin
• Judia – Hunter

The bad characters (Antagonists) that appear in the RO anime are:

• Dark Lord – Ultimate Evil
• Keough – Knight, Subordinate of Dark Lord
• Zephyr – Dark Wizard
• Jiltus – Half human, Half monster

The story line for the Ragnarok anime revolves around a set of seven crystals that Dark Lord is attempting to get a hold of for his revival. Each crystal has a purpose and the plot has a large series of twists and turns to it. Many of the evil characters once knew or come to know the good characters and they eventually come to a rather interesting end.

The RO Anime was released in 2004 in Japan and didn’t get a license to air in America until around 2007. So if you’re a fan of Ragnarok Online, you can probably find a copy of the series in your language. The Ranarok Online anime consists of a set of 26 different episodes that start with introducing the main characters to the finale which you will have to watch in order to see how that turns out.
