Written by Shinya Umemura alongside Takumi Fukui for story structure assistance, the series’ jaw-dropping fights are owed thanks to the artist Azychika. The previous season Record of Ragnarok II brought the series even higher into the spotlight, as it ranked in the weekly top 10 in 84 countries for Non-English series, and No. 1 of the top 10 for the Daily TV Series in 17 countries.
Shinya Umemura said, “I’m so grateful that the third season of the anime is being produced. This is all thanks to everyone’s support — thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t wait to see how that one move by Nikola Tesla appears on screen! I hope everyone will continue to watch Record of Ragnarok!”
Takumi Fukui added, “Much time has passed since the explosive ending to the second season. Thanks to the support of our fans, the third season is finally here! How will that fiery battle we depicted in the comic be recreated? How will certain moves and scenes come to life on screen? Plus, familiar characters will cross paths again. I can’t wait for everyone to see the continuation of the battle between gods and humanity!”
Record of Ragnarok III was directed by Koichi Hatsumi, best known for Tokyo Rangers, with Yasuyuki Muto serving as the series’ main writer, previously having worked on the famed Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway. Industry veterans Yoko Tanabe and Hisashi Kawashima join along as character designers, bringing their own unique experience from projects like Handyman Saitou in Another World, and Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream respectively. Animation has been provided by Yumeta Company and Maru Animation, with music from the same composer of Naruto, Yasuharu Takanashi.
