Vinland Saga

No Anime was ever as immersive as to make me cry on the FIRST half of the VERY FIRST episode. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood's got me at the 4th episode, Shingeki no Kyojin got me at the end of the 1st, but Vinland Saga? Hell, it's not just the graphical shock the series environment puts you in, It's the BEAUTIFUL details, the landscapes that are magically followed by a "Ghibli Studio Level" piano, the incredible voice acting coordinated with a full suit of emotions that are required when you approach a Vikings culture and environment as respectfully as they did. 5 episodes out now for Vinland Saga, and the details keep surfacing in an incredibly EPIC way. This anime is just sublime in every aspect you can look at, and I will be dammed if it doesn't end up going down as one of the TOP 5 ANIMES EVER PRODUCED IN HUMAN HISTORY.

Story The story is about revenge and the growth of are main character as his views change from a boy to a pure blooded viking. While the show is slow paced the characters and action will hold your interest.

Art The art in the show is really well done since it's made by Wit Studio the same people who do Shingeki no Kyojin and many other damn good looking anime. Unfortunately the only part in the anime that looks bad at times is the sea and for a viking show that's kinda bad but since the rest of the show looks so good i'm willing to overlook the bad cgi water.

Music Hmm music is 50/50 for me while it sounds good like the op is one of my fav this season but the rest of the music doesn't really fit a viking show now it is good just for me doesn't really fit the setting.

Character So far I've really liked the characters they look and act like vikings and i'm enjoying are main character growth.

Enjoyment I love this show so far and i've only heard good things from the manga readers so i'm really looking to see more from the story.

And can tell... tissues needed here. The anime is as epic as the manga. So far 10/10

Vinland saga is nothing like any anime, show or even story I've seen before. The animation is amazing, the story telling is incredible and the characters feel so real and life like it adds so much weight to the events unfolding.

Everything about this show is amazing, but the one thing on top is the core message of the story. "You have no enemies." is such a vague statement at first and you don't seem to understand what thors means. As you get through season 1 and then onto 2 you realize what he and the other adults in the story were talking about. Thorfinn is definitely on the way to being one of my favorite MCs ever. If you are still contemplating watching this show don't think twice. It's a masterpiece that holds important lessons that we as people should learn from.

I found out about this anime from a random trailer on YouTube. I had absolutely no idea there was a manga on this subject. Oh, boy am I glad I decided to watch the trailer! After watching all 3 episodes, all I can say is IMPRESSIVE! From the opening sequence to the great cgi, graphics and world building to the believable environment, characters and story. And the historical aspects are treated with respect. The simple fact that there are no horned helmets makes me want to rate it 10/10! Somehow, it brings back memories from the very first season of Vikings. I am really intrigued by Vinland Saga and can't wait to find out more about this series. Maybe I'll even give the manga a go. It's a must watch!
