Featured reviews
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!
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.

And can tell... tissues needed here. The anime is as epic as the manga. So far 10/10
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.
Where i can start ? Wit studio is making something special here even more than Attack of titans you can smell it from the first episode. Character design, Landscapes, Sky , Water Movement , accurate History recreation, Music , pace and mistery it just works wonderfully in each episode to the point i think we might have one of the best TV shows of the recent years . it's hard to express on words but it's just beautiful and unique . Share to your friends , post it on social media so we can see this story reach the end on a High Budget .
i'm in love with Vinland saga and now all i want to do is know more about Vll-Xl Viking Story.
