Ragnarok Online Returns, With a Newly Made 2nd Version!
When Gravity created the first Ragnarok Online game in 2002, it was considered to be one of the most popular MMORPGs in Korea and was internationally known as being in the same league as Lineage and EverQuest. Having played Ragnarok Online since South Korea’s first launch date, I am very excited to talk about this newly remade addition to the series.
A couple of years ago, Gravity created Ragnarok Online II: Gate of the World – a sequel based on the first game. However, due to many game bugs and graphic errors, the game was left in open beta. As a result, the Ragnarok Online II project was dropped and the team decided to go back to the original game. In 2007, it was rumored that Ragnarok Online II will be redesigned. It was later confirmed on the series’official Korean website that it would be using the Gamebryo engine from Unreal Engine 2.5.
“Super Robot Taisen Original Generation: The Inspector” Revealed!
Dengeki Hobby Magazine has recently confirmed that the Super Robot Taisen OG animation has returned, with 2D robot animations! From the reviews of the first season Divine Wars with 3D robot animations, the team has decided to revive its original 2D enhanced action with characters and robots.
Takanobu Terada, the creator of Super Robot Taisen Project, has announced that Masami Obari (director of Gravion and Dancouga Nova) will be directing the series with Satoshi Kubo (animator for Medabots and Pokemon: The First Movie) with script supervisors Souichiro Morizumi, Yuichiro Takeda, Tatsunosuke Yatsufusa.
The actual release date is unknown, but it has been confirmed to be sometime this Fall. It will possibly consist of 26 episodes like Divine Wars.
This story takes place a couple of months after the war against Aerogaters and Divine Crusaders ended. The heroes are back to their own original cycle until they encounter newest hostile forces: Neo Divine Crusaders and Shadow Mirrors. What’s more surprising is that the Shadow Mirrors are using units that have not been fully developed by Earth at this time. Also unknown, new abomination aliens appear before the heroes driving Excellen out of control. Finally, another new encountering aliens that call themselves “Inspectors” have decided to put a judgment before the Earthlings. With such a large amount of pressures coming from these opposing factions, can the heroes stop the catastrophe in time?

Update: Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector is available on Crunchyroll.
