Somewhere Not Here

This anime is novel in a way sure, however it lacks quality and seemingly an earnest audience as there is simply no way this deserves the ratings it has received.

Slow paced which isn't offensive in itself but it also makes the mistake of being ultra boring on top. The characters are infinitely forgettable and there seems to be plenty of inaccuracy regarding way of life and feats accomplished.

I will be the first to admit after the lofty praise I heard for this show I was expecting it to not be out of place next DS, JJK, MHA and so forth in terms of quality and captivating story. There are very little user reviews for these episodes as well which is a tell take sign its accolades are being manipulated.

I'm very intruiged. As far as I can see it's loosely based on history aswell, which I always like very much. The animations are fluid and VERY detailed. Nothing bad to say really so far.

One Of The Best Animes Of All Time no doubt about that.

Right off in the start the animation is beatiful and has a distinct art style. The cinematography and editing are really creative. The 3d used with the typical 2d animation is incredibly smooth compared to Mappa's Shigeki No Kyojin. And then in the amazing intro I realized this was made by WIT studios. This will be amazing. Everything about this reminds me of "Vikings' and I like that.

Thorfinn and his family are incredibly interesting. I sadly know that they will die due to tropes. I liked the relationships in the family and the interesting character of the Thors. Leif Ericson was incredibly fun and that one like guy with the chain was pretty intimitating.

Thorfinn sounds like he will become a great protagonist. But he doesn't have much depth as of now. If maybe we got a deeper look into him the episode would even be better. This episode didn't even kick off the story. Apart from introducing our characters and world this episode did very little.

9/10 A great start to what seems like a great show.

I decided to watch this show because of many recommendations, and so far, I think it's off to a great start. I believe this episode set some of the tones this show will have and the animation is absolutely beautiful and amazing so far. The set up for characters like their personality, morality, and tone is great. The settings is very immersive and saturated with beauty. The story as of this episode is a good start off, and I liked the ending to this episode a lot. The characters are very interesting, especially Thors and Thorfinn. Overall, I think this is a great, if not, a strong start to this show.
