@@mikemoos Actually they're not. A seax would have a single, straight edge (or almost) with a back that curved towards the edge. What Thorfinn uses is obviously double-edged.
I feel like giguk didn't emphasize just how real the characters were, thats what makes it so good in my opinion, it doesn't try to censor anything and treat you like a "child" each action had purpose and looked like it wasn't an anime they were real people, even though they aren't, it confuses you and you get interested in it or at least thats how it felt for me
"i make them very angsty by murdering their dads, then i adopt them to use them as weapons, after that, i frickin kill myself to make them even more angsty"
That really hit me this morning after I finished, and I was like "damn...yeah, so many more years with this brutal man than his own father." Really helps portray the twisted relationship Thorfinn has with Askeladd.
Askellad trained Thorfinn. When he was a kid, he could have killed Thorfinn, but he didn't. He showed Throfinn how to keep up with the cruel world that they were in. He taught him how to protect himself. Askellad experienced what it felt like to be in Thorfinns situation when he was a kid. Askellad lost her mother, just as Thorfinn lost his father. And in a way, Askellad could see himself within Thorfinn, they were both warriors, and that's all they will ever be. Askellad, as a warrior, was battling against the Danes and the Welsh, both literally and figuratively. Thorfinn, on the other hand, was also in battle, a battle for his revenge. But in end, he later realized that it was a battle AGAINST his revenge. In the end, it was a battle to end his battle. A battle for his paradise, and his freedom. And Askellad helped show him that. Askellad, in my opinion, was a father figure to Thorfinn in more ways than one.
Askeladd actually recognized he lost to Thors and said he was a magnificent man and warrior, he definetly felt sorry for his death because it was nothing personal, just a job. For me, in that scene in which Thorfinn grabs a sword while Askeladd is apparently sleeping it was the moment in wich I realized that he really felt sorry and he would let Thorfinn kill him.
highly recommend the manga. It's a GREAT manga, so much that if you read it now and then later the anime is about the same quality as the first season or better, you won't ruin anything, you will just enjoy the experience two times.
"Askeladd is far and beyond the best antagonist this year and it's not even close." Hell, I'd even go as far as to say he's the best character this year.
@@ianpaulcana3088 The farming arc portrays what happens to a man when he lost his purpose of living. Thorfinn's purpose in life was to kill Askeladd, when his goal was snatched all that is left is an empty husk of a human shell. But throughout the farming arc he learns the meaning behind his father's words and has finally found a purpose in life, to find Vinland and build a country of peace. This is deep character and story writing, the development of Thorfinn's character is amazing and one of the best even. Do not be mistaken, the seinen genre is much more than gore, violence, and sexual acts. It portrays mature and complex writing, it portrays the philosophies and what it means to live. If you think Vinland Saga, a seinen manga, is full of action then you have made a mistake. If you wanted fight and action scenes go to Shounen instead, but it will not have the same level of character writing as Seinen.
I had no idea I'd love him so much, but he's going down on my list of top best characters I have ever witnessed. I came into this anime based on this, but my god I'm so happy i did.

@@geekun4444 spoiler alert! But escanor has more depth as a character than thorkell. His backstory is ban level and he dies fighting trying to create a new and better future. So in those aspects he is like askeladd.
Sometimes I found myself agreeing with Askeladd and moments later realise that he is suppose to be the antagonist in this story. The end got me sad even if in the back of my mind he was supposed to be the bad guy.
Normally it’d be virtually impossible for me to look at a character order the robbing and massacre of an entire village and say “dang, that was the right call for them.” But lo and behold this cursed show did it, because the one survivor of the village did indeed go and tell the opposing forces, thus totally proving Askeladd right.

@@Zarastro54 the original commenter stated that he knew askellad was an evil man even askellad himself admitted to becoming the thing he hated the most he doesn't like killing children what a nice thing to say but he still does My point was that it's karma or payback for the crimes he committed through out the 10 years of raiding and slaughtering The greatest leader who always make the right decision, and is always lucky Makes the wrong decisions and becomes unlucky The writer was showing that not everything will go askellad way
In season 2 it became farmland saga which is wayyyyy better than the season 1 which is already good coz on season 1 thorfinn didnt use sword and dont focus of actions thats why the person at the end scene is the people that surrender at war and want to live a peaceful life and he meet those people
Can we all take a moment to notice how Askeladd and Kenny Ackerman share a similar quote? Askeladd - "Everyone is a slave to something." Kenny Ackerman - "Everyone had to be drunk on something to keep pushing on. Everyone... Was a slave to something."
every time i watch the ending scene, im literally in tears. None of this rent-a-girl friend dog-shit from this year compares to what I experienced while watching Vinland Saga.
Askeladd is the pure example of great villan, many times during the anime I had to remember myself that askeladd is the guy who killed Thors, the guy who uses Thorfinn as a tool, many times I forgot that, just to remember back when he does some effin atrocity.
What I really noticed in the anime is the soundtrack and the voice acting. Every shout and cry you hear from Thorfinn from episode 3 on, you can really feel the emotion behind it.
@@Robo92 Most likely, with the last arcs of AOT they got to adapt I'd say we'll be seeing a Season 2 of Vinland saga around either the start of 2021 or near the end of it...
I can't believe how underrated this series is. Started watching a few days ago and I'm in love with it. In my opinion, the best anime of 2019 that deserves a heck load of more and more recognition.
@@Leon-vg9jv As far as I know, it has something to do with the Viking belief system. If a man (Viking)dies they'd have to die fighting, weapon in hand to be received into the halls of valhalla (THE viking place to be, endless feasts, drinking and fighting). Furthermore a one on one fight, a duel, being the most honorable form of fight it would yield one of the best places in valhalla. Askeladd and Björn being close friends, Askeladd wanted to make sure that Björn would get one of the best places.
I can confirm that I was not alive in the viking age, therefor I should not be able to confirm if they were weeb running or not, but I am going to just accept weeb running vikings as a fact.
Just watched it literally today, and it was intense as hell. Hoping that they two will get together again after the ceremony but the death flags is everywhere. And my feeling was right, he's died 😭
@@motakez731 While I do agree with it being overhyped I get why. It's a very easy story to follow that also has great animation. It's easier to be branched out with different audiences and these stories are bit harder to branch out. Don't get me wrong they are miles above KNY but they are bit harder to understand to the average viewer. While KNY is easy to understand with any kind of demographic.
vinland saga is one of the rare mangas that i would give a 10, the only reason i wouldnt give the anime a 10 but a 9 because they didnt release the next season in which the real development and events escalation happens. but the pov and meaning in the manga affected me to the core
Yea it's realism scale is quite high, also as he mentioned historical level are also really high, there are some minor things, but they pale in comparrison to how accurate the rest is.
It really is cool how real it is, although some names are kind of... wierd? Like using "Askeladd" as a name? (comparable to Cinderella) Maby it's a clue to his story or character.
I'm not going to lie, I was so tired of waiting for each episode that I just went and read the manga. Once I reached last chapter that was released I just sat there thinking that is how my brother must feel about Berserk. Now we just keep trying to convince the other to read the manga that we so enjoy.
i was 18 when i was reading the berserk manga. it shook me to my core. words can not describe how much i enjoyed it and what a masterpiece it is. 15 years later and i still love it.
Generally manga is always better than anime (with few exceptions like "Banner of stars"). I know when friend shown me "Ichi the killer" movie. He said you have to watch it, it is brutal. After I watched it I told him it was not so brutal and gave him manga. After he watched it he said "Yea, movie is toned down version of manga" :)
FYI the "Language barrier" stuff is only an issue in the native Japanese dubbing. In stuff like the German dub, they actually switch languages, like when trying to talk to the English the characters speak in a very, very crude and accented English
The English dub handles those scenes pretty well too. It's only the Japanese dub that fails to do so and it's insane how some people are so close minded, they can't give other dubs a chance.
When I read the manga years ago I thought to myself, This is too good to ever be adapted in to an anime... I was wrong. They did an amazing job... Now I hope they will someday animate Vagabond correctly. And maybe in the year 2283 we will get a good adaptation of Berserk.
Blade of the Immortal is coming up soon too. Hopefully the more that these seinen classics are popular and well received, the more the big studios will see that these series are worth doing large scale adaptions of
@@davepatois297 I wouldn't try it. One Piece is pretty dense, but the anime has been watered down garbage for years, just so that it can keep releasing weekly.
@@zenbrown7144 The difference is that Kingdom would be adapted from chapter 1 all the way to chapter 600, if it's a good adaptation that means at most 3 chapters per episode meaning we would have around 200 episodes of content already.
It makes sense when you think about him like that. I initially thought of him as Eren (which was always obsessed with killing titans) but Viking Sasuke sounds better.
I read full vinland saga because my friend suggested it . I didn't quite get it . Then I asked my friend to explain it . He explained very briefly. That only a man who suffered injuries from war know how cruel war is . But for that Thorfinn had to learn it . By killing hundreds of people. In the end he learnt his lesson on dead bodies of people. His father told him a real warrior a real warrior doesn't need a sword but to know that he has to test it throughout manga . But at last he knew his father was right . This also tells us his father was also advised by someone . But he also struggled his whole life which means a true warrior is someone who has wielded sword once but knows that it can only bring destruction . And he also failed to teach Thorfinn until his death .
Wow ignorance is quite bliss. Makoto Yukimura holds a title which not many manga author has. Which is having both his long form serializations adapted by a prominent animation studio and have both be broadcasted on national broadcasting station, and this fucking channel is mandatorly charged if you have a flippin tv in Japan.
@ Seems like the OC has no idea of what the author already has under his belt. You rarely get a genuine talent like Yukimura, and he's still got his youth to pump out several more long form serialization. Seeing his track record, guessing it'll end up being adapted too.
(8:08) Hey that’s what Kenny says to Levi! “Everyone is a slave to someone (tho in AoT he says something not someone)”. His quote being "Everyone I've met was all the same. Drinking, women, Worshiping God, even family, the King, dreams, children, power... Everyone had to be drunk on something to keep pushing on. Everyone was a slave to something.”
When the whole crew died I didn't care for shit knew the traitors would die and so did Askeladd that's why he wanted to march. He's right they are a bunch of war hungry dumbasses.
@@whiteglint7694 I mean, in that last scene, he knew that in order to save both Wales and Canute he would have to sacrifice his own life by killing Sweyn... which he did, the madlad.
My favorite thing about this show is the themes of religion and how it seems to compare norse mythology with christianity and also shows how much christianity has changed and not changed over the centuries. I also love how the characters religion seem to be the main drive of a fair amount of the characters, the only characters I would say aren’t driven by their religion is Thorfinn who just wants vengeance. Prince Canute for examples driven by his christianity either in accordance with god or more prominently in defiance of god, another example is Askeladd who is driven by the story his mother told him of a great warrior that would return and how maybe even because of his middle name he believes that he will at least try to be the warrior his mother was desperately waiting for.
The thing i love about Vinland is how the "legendary" characters apear are amazing beings like Thorkel or Askelad but they are never over the top, their deeds seem taken from a tale "and he killed 5 men with one axe" or "he could even cut a helmet in half"
Demon slayer it just so goddem overrated stfu people pls its not worth it Just give Vinland Saga a time . It’s something of Game of thrones and attack on titans type of shows. who loves Aot for the story not for just there is a big naked titans who looks cool WILL FUCKIN ABSOLUTELY LIKE VINLAND THANK ME fkn LATTER All love from iraq ❤️❤️
惸然Riot Ammm ok im not forcing anyone im saying my opinion about slayer and advising who liked Aot and game of thrones to watch Vinland saga Calm down bro
After watching Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga, I can say that I trust Wit Studio giving the proper Brotherhood treatment for Berserk. Please let Wit animate Berserk after there are done with Attack on Titan.
There is so much about this show that resonates with me on some deep level, it's very hard to describe it in words. I really enjoyed over-the-top fight scenes, but with each episode, I felt more and more sorry about basically everyone in the story. Such a tough life in a very cruel world. Even Askeladd, an absolute beast and cold-hearted bastard, I felt so sorry for him. Really looking forward to seeing how Thorfinn learns the lesson his father gave him.
I binged all of it yesterday and my god, it was amazing. It was always on my radar but never could find where to watch it but when I did, I was so pleased. Personally I wasn't a fan of Thorfinn after a bit (he grew back to me at the end), but what I loved, was the side characters, the realism, the sadness and horrors of the raiding of villages. In most shows its like "oh haha they killed a village who cares". in this they just struck you in the heart that these are people with lives, love, family, and beliefs. Thats what is truly special about it to me.
@@shinsha_ i mean we have a good guess, all of the languages presented are not spoken anymore, namely middle english, middle french and norse, even a bit celtic welsh
It says so much about the writing of vinland saga when you said Askeladd was the best antagonist and I sat here arguing with myself if he even was an antagonist
@@heroricspiritfreinen38 yes, and here's the thing I don't know wjere the anime is so no spoilers, there's so much more to him. I have a hsrd time out right calling him an antagonist
Yeah, Askeladd is probably one of the most complex characters of the series. He was originally introduced as an antagonist, but he later becomes more of a supporting character. I would even go as far as to say that Askeladd becomes sort of like a father figure to Thorfinn, which is ironic because he killed his father.
oh he was definitely an antagonist- but Vinland saga is good about recognizing what the role of an antagonist is: which is to challenge the hero(s) and reader. That's when you know you have a good character; they get the discussion going, they make the reader think about the conflict and care, either directly or indirectly. Getting that done isn't conditional on making the reader hate the character because of the cruel/ horrible things they do, it's the opposite. It's just writing someone recognizably human in who they are in spite of that (i.e. Griffith in his dream, Madara in his bitterness, hatred, and grief, Bradly from FMA in pragmatism about the powers to be when it comes to states etc.). But I still say Askeladd's an antagonist all the way through- because he always acts as someone who challenges Thorfinn to do better, it's just not in the way that readers/watchers would think when they first start the story.
Spoiler Warning! I just finished the 24th episode, I have never watched an anime series that I could compare to Vinland Saga. After waching an episode I’ve had to stop and think or proceed what just happened. The story is so brutal but so beautiful. When Askeladd died and Thorfinn held him, that was one of the saddest scenes ever. He was an enemy to Thorfinn but also a guide so it was really sad to watch Thorfinn lose someone close and his only duty to get revenge for Thors, to kill Askeladd. Afterall he wanted to beat Askeladd in a duel. This anime definetely is the best anime I’ve ever seen, I should maybe start to read the manga.
If you think watching it was good,reading puts it In such a deeper perspective. Really a masterpiece ,and I’ll shout out vagabond if I had to say any other .
I started watching it from day 1 and I was suuuuper surprised by the fact that no one was watching it or talking about it, like for real it is a bloody master piece!
It happens with a lot of shows. What generally happens is that there are already shows that people had known and were hyped about and then,there are those like me who watch the shows later after they end.So the core audience ends up mostly the ones that have already read the source and you get the feeling of,"underratedness" One clear example I remember for the same thing is Re:Zero. It was super unpopular at the start and then suddenly became hugely popular.Those who watched it early branded it as,"underrated" while those who watched it later,including Gigguk,called it,"overrated". Pretty sure that the same will happen will this one. These wars is the reason I watch these good and popular ones AFTER the hype has died and hence am sleeping on Vinland saga.
I've read the first 100 chapters of the manga and let me tell you, it's a trip. A lot of 'old warrior' wisdom I've read in fantasy novels comes back here, but also Chekkov's Gun principle is accurate for every piece of dialogue.
@@Sendisky Sorry, but the manga is not even close to be super popular just because of a fucking plat on reddit. It's not close to the other ones like Berserk or Vagabond.
I've dodged this series for two years. When I finally finished it, I regretted not watching it earlier. Vinland Saga is now one of my favorite stories of all time. You know Garnt's serious when he keeps the jokes and the clowning to a minimum. What a video.
its because they have adhd and cant stand still for 5 seconds looking at well developed plot and deep characterization. they only care about jojo memes and shit posts
It's because Amazon picked it up. The same thing happened to dororo, Amazon is taking these seinen anime for themselves, but no one is gonna get amazon prime just for anime.
Dude the art style is SO good. Whoever animated it LOVED what they were doing. I’ve never seen anything like it. All the close up shots, even in combat without missing a frame. The detail is amazing. I’m not an Anime purist I’ve seen a few and only ever watched a handful from beginning to end but rarely was I wowed by the visuals. I can recall 3 where I fell in love with just the visuals. Akira, Attack on Titan, and Tokyo Ghoul. But this is different. It’s not as colorful, it takes place in the dark ages after all so it relies on its edginess. It’s gritty and even grotesque. You can see details down to the people’s fingernails. They’re long and unkempt. Aside from the amazing art direction the setting is great as well as the overall story and writing. I would LOVE to see more medieval historical anime’s. It has the 3 kingdom kind of feel to it but in Europe. Anyways I would love more medieval anime. Whether it’s in Asia or Europe.

If he didn't bothered the village wait out until tomorrow when the blizzard went away their wouldn't be ppl telling them where they were
@@Zarastro54 the original commenter stated that he knew askellad was an evil man even askellad himself admitted to becoming the thing he hated the most he doesn't like killing children what a nice thing to say but he still does
My point was that it's karma or payback for the crimes he committed through out the 10 years of raiding and slaughtering
The greatest leader who always make the right decision, and is always lucky
Makes the wrong decisions and becomes unlucky
The writer was showing that not everything will go askellad way
Thors: ”You don’t have any enemies”.
Thorfinn: Kills people
Thors: ”A true warrior doesn’t need a sword”
Thorfinn: Gets two daggers
Thors: Bruh
You will see later about what Thors said (might take few seasons). I read manga so I know and I do not want to spoil anime.
It's Sasuke
From naruto
You don’t have enemies if everyone else is dead.
Not swords, they’re daggers.
@@heloozz Sasuke but well done and well developed
Even if vinland saga was about farming, i would still watch it... oh wait..
In season 2 it became farmland saga which is wayyyyy better than the season 1 which is already good coz on season 1 thorfinn didnt use sword and dont focus of actions thats why the person at the end scene is the people that surrender at war and want to live a peaceful life and he meet those people
It is still farming, but for heads
Greatest arc ever
so many ppl gonna drop it when season 2 comes out bc most of them only watched it for the fights... who needs character development I guess
@@loafof ngl I would still watch s2, the character development in s1 was pretty interesting
Can we all take a moment to notice how Askeladd and Kenny Ackerman share a similar quote?
Askeladd - "Everyone is a slave to something."
Kenny Ackerman - "Everyone had to be drunk on something to keep pushing on. Everyone... Was a slave to something."
when askeladd said that i literally thought of Kenny😔
shared braincell maybe...i mean they do look similar in their character figure
Askeladd: "not a hero, not a god, just someone"
Eren: "you're no slave, you're no god, you're just a person"
Great minds think alike.

I have never wanted a character dead so bad but also cried when they died

I honestly cried when Björn and Askeladd met for the last time.
Me too
I didnt get why they dueled in the first place
@@Leon-vg9jv Bjorn was slowly dying, so Askeladd wanted to put him out of his misery and send him to valhalla by killing him in a battle
@@Leon-vg9jv As far as I know, it has something to do with the Viking belief system. If a man (Viking)dies they'd have to die fighting, weapon in hand to be received into the halls of valhalla (THE viking place to be, endless feasts, drinking and fighting). Furthermore a one on one fight, a duel, being the most honorable form of fight it would yield one of the best places in valhalla. Askeladd and Björn being close friends, Askeladd wanted to make sure that Björn would get one of the best places.
I did too
Askeladd's "Everyone is a slave to something" friggin reminded me of Kenny. He said the same thing to Levi before he died so...*cries*

That's the exact same thing I thought of when I saw that coming from Askeladd.
they seem VERY similar in general. What a great character structure!
Same what I thought
Its exactly what I thought as well. Another simlar thing between Aot and Vinland Saga is that both of them are animated by WIT studio.
I can not confirm that we Scandinavian people ran with our hands in the back like weebs.
I can confirm that we are doing it now.
I can confirm that I was not alive in the viking age, therefor I should not be able to confirm if they were weeb running or not, but I am going to just accept weeb running vikings as a fact.

I'm not going to lie, I was so tired of waiting for each episode that I just went and read the manga. Once I reached last chapter that was released I just sat there thinking that is how my brother must feel about Berserk. Now we just keep trying to convince the other to read the manga that we so enjoy.
i was 18 when i was reading the berserk manga. it shook me to my core. words can not describe how much i enjoyed it and what a masterpiece it is. 15 years later and i still love it.
Same
I've read them both and they are both amazing. The only thing youll regret about reading Berserk is not doing it sooner.
Honestly, even if doesn't convince him, if you loved Vinland, read Berserk, just for your own good.
Generally manga is always better than anime (with few exceptions like "Banner of stars"). I know when friend shown me "Ichi the killer" movie. He said you have to watch it, it is brutal. After I watched it I told him it was not so brutal and gave him manga. After he watched it he said "Yea, movie is toned down version of manga" :)
FYI the "Language barrier" stuff is only an issue in the native Japanese dubbing. In stuff like the German dub, they actually switch languages, like when trying to talk to the English the characters speak in a very, very crude and accented English
The English dub handles those scenes pretty well too. It's only the Japanese dub that fails to do so and it's insane how some people are so close minded, they can't give other dubs a chance.
The Gigg: "Stop Sleeping on Vinland Saga."

When I read the manga years ago I thought to myself, This is too good to ever be adapted in to an anime... I was wrong. They did an amazing job... Now I hope they will someday animate Vagabond correctly. And maybe in the year 2283 we will get a good adaptation of Berserk.
And kingdom. This shit's so dense they could probably do a weekly anime going out every week like onepiece
Blade of the Immortal is coming up soon too. Hopefully the more that these seinen classics are popular and well received, the more the big studios will see that these series are worth doing large scale adaptions of
@@davepatois297 I wouldn't try it. One Piece is pretty dense, but the anime has been watered down garbage for years, just so that it can keep releasing weekly.
@@zenbrown7144 The difference is that Kingdom would be adapted from chapter 1 all the way to chapter 600, if it's a good adaptation that means at most 3 chapters per episode meaning we would have around 200 episodes of content already.

“Viking Sasuke”

fucking literally LMFAO. Me and wife consistently referred to him as such
yes, i did watch the video
It makes sense when you think about him like that. I initially thought of him as Eren (which was always obsessed with killing titans) but Viking Sasuke sounds better.
I read full vinland saga because my friend suggested it . I didn't quite get it . Then I asked my friend to explain it . He explained very briefly. That only a man who suffered injuries from war know how cruel war is . But for that Thorfinn had to learn it . By killing hundreds of people. In the end he learnt his lesson on dead bodies of people. His father told him a real warrior a real warrior doesn't need a sword but to know that he has to test it throughout manga . But at last he knew his father was right . This also tells us his father was also advised by someone . But he also struggled his whole life which means a true warrior is someone who has wielded sword once but knows that it can only bring destruction . And he also failed to teach Thorfinn until his death .

*Guts’ theme intensifies*
*So put your grasses on, nothing will be wong*
My favorite thing about this show is the themes of religion and how it seems to compare norse mythology with christianity and also shows how much christianity has changed and not changed over the centuries. I also love how the characters religion seem to be the main drive of a fair amount of the characters, the only characters I would say aren’t driven by their religion is Thorfinn who just wants vengeance. Prince Canute for examples driven by his christianity either in accordance with god or more prominently in defiance of god, another example is Askeladd who is driven by the story his mother told him of a great warrior that would return and how maybe even because of his middle name he believes that he will at least try to be the warrior his mother was desperately waiting for.

Yeah, Askeladd is probably one of the most complex characters of the series. He was originally introduced as an antagonist, but he later becomes more of a supporting character. I would even go as far as to say that Askeladd becomes sort of like a father figure to Thorfinn, which is ironic because he killed his father.
oh he was definitely an antagonist- but Vinland saga is good about recognizing what the role of an antagonist is: which is to challenge the hero(s) and reader. That's when you know you have a good character; they get the discussion going, they make the reader think about the conflict and care, either directly or indirectly. Getting that done isn't conditional on making the reader hate the character because of the cruel/ horrible things they do, it's the opposite. It's just writing someone recognizably human in who they are in spite of that (i.e. Griffith in his dream, Madara in his bitterness, hatred, and grief, Bradly from FMA in pragmatism about the powers to be when it comes to states etc.). But I still say Askeladd's an antagonist all the way through- because he always acts as someone who challenges Thorfinn to do better, it's just not in the way that readers/watchers would think when they first start the story.
The show never let's you forget how brutal that time was. Few light hearted episodes would be followed by soul crushing brutality.
Spoiler Warning!
I just finished the 24th episode, I have never watched an anime series that I could compare to Vinland Saga. After waching an episode I’ve had to stop and think or proceed what just happened. The story is so brutal but so beautiful. When Askeladd died and Thorfinn held him, that was one of the saddest scenes ever. He was an enemy to Thorfinn but also a guide so it was really sad to watch Thorfinn lose someone close and his only duty to get revenge for Thors, to kill Askeladd. Afterall he wanted to beat Askeladd in a duel. This anime definetely is the best anime I’ve ever seen, I should maybe start to read the manga.
you should read it you should
???? i mean sure but like where ?? ive never read manga before only books
I'm an oilman it says that the website isnt working anymore but thank you still
True....Vinland saga gives a different and unique vibe.
If you think watching it was good,reading puts it In such a deeper perspective. Really a masterpiece ,and I’ll shout out vagabond if I had to say any other .
I started watching it from day 1 and I was suuuuper surprised by the fact that no one was watching it or talking about it, like for real it is a bloody master piece!
Wait...RUFFLED?! NANI?!
It happens with a lot of shows.
What generally happens is that there are already shows that people had known and were hyped about and then,there are those like me who watch the shows later after they end.So the core audience ends up mostly the ones that have already read the source and you get the feeling of,"underratedness"
One clear example I remember for the same thing is Re:Zero.
It was super unpopular at the start and then suddenly became hugely popular.Those who watched it early branded it as,"underrated" while those who watched it later,including Gigguk,called it,"overrated".
Pretty sure that the same will happen will this one.
These wars is the reason I watch these good and popular ones AFTER the hype has died and hence am sleeping on Vinland saga.

NOBUNAGA ODA!!!
The nexus point of all human history.
meloD30 no?
according to Japan, lmfao
Wait, I think that's actually the plot of Samurai Deeper Kyo.
I've read the first 100 chapters of the manga and let me tell you, it's a trip. A lot of 'old warrior' wisdom I've read in fantasy novels comes back here, but also Chekkov's Gun principle is accurate for every piece of dialogue.
I’m not sleeping on Vinland Saga. I’m sleeping *WITH* Vinland Saga!
Where can you watch it
@@suunnz It's legal only on Amazon Prime, but you can find it on gogo, even RUclips lol
Vinland Saga has been underrated for so long. So happy to see it becoming more and more popular
If I have only learned about this story 10 years ago, I would have spread rumors of this being the best manga of all time...
Even the manga is underrated. This story deserve all the eyes it can get.
Let it be unpopular, if it gets more popular the supid side of twitter will start saying trash out of it like they do with any other popular anime
@@theLikou1 the manga is so far from underrated lol. Shit gets plat on r/manga every chapter release
@@Sendisky Sorry, but the manga is not even close to be super popular just because of a fucking plat on reddit. It's not close to the other ones like Berserk or Vagabond.
"You probably think of one name when you hear historical anime"
Me: fate
Gigguk: nobunga oda
I heard historical anime and immediately went to Akira... I mean, anime doesn't get older than that, does it?
@@MC-pt8kv
Akira? But it cyberpunk anime.
Fate is feminist and so it sucks
I live inside your house i think they’re slow
I've dodged this series for two years. When I finally finished it, I regretted not watching it earlier. Vinland Saga is now one of my favorite stories of all time.
You know Garnt's serious when he keeps the jokes and the clowning to a minimum. What a video.
Kinda sad Vinland saga isn’t getting much love never see anyone talk about it much
Ive been urging my friends to watch it but know one wants too for some reason
its because they have adhd and cant stand still for 5 seconds looking at well developed plot and deep characterization. they only care about jojo memes and shit posts
@@theprocrastinator6813 funny thing my friends don't want to watch jojo either
It's because Amazon picked it up. The same thing happened to dororo, Amazon is taking these seinen anime for themselves, but no one is gonna get amazon prime just for anime.
Juan Dlc cranky cuz jojo is good huh
Who's here after episode 18?
Canute's character development is phenomenal!
"The Great" activated.
It felt a little rushed and almost out of nowehere but we'll see how it evolves
Marcos Bustos lol exactly now he just thinks he runs shit 🤦🏽♂️ but other than that it’s a great anime
@@JumpMandrip23 he doesn't think he runs anything. He's aware that he can't oust his dad atm...
@@JumpMandrip23 I just finish the manga and yes. It pays up.
The song at the end is Ashes of Dreams from Nier
Nier osts are the best
Wow, thanks! I was trying to search for this music, I had a feeling that I already listened somewhere, now I know why
Dude the art style is SO good. Whoever animated it LOVED what they were doing. I’ve never seen anything like it. All the close up shots, even in combat without missing a frame. The detail is amazing. I’m not an Anime purist I’ve seen a few and only ever watched a handful from beginning to end but rarely was I wowed by the visuals. I can recall 3 where I fell in love with just the visuals. Akira, Attack on Titan, and Tokyo Ghoul. But this is different. It’s not as colorful, it takes place in the dark ages after all so it relies on its edginess. It’s gritty and even grotesque. You can see details down to the people’s fingernails. They’re long and unkempt. Aside from the amazing art direction the setting is great as well as the overall story and writing. I would LOVE to see more medieval historical anime’s. It has the 3 kingdom kind of feel to it but in Europe. Anyways I would love more medieval anime. Whether it’s in Asia or Europe.
