Vinland Saga

typical shonen-shit

Anime of the century

>I'm not sold on Askeladd's voice yet. Feels like it lacks gravitas
I think it's pretty much the perfect fit. The levity is a veneer and a disguise, so when it feels like it's too flippant or even forced, I feel like it's working just as intended. I think this episode showed when Askeladd's mask faltered a little that serious delivery is going to go well.

>i'm worried that this anime will attract the ''action'' crowd
It will. They'll stay on board because there is a lot of action before farmland, even when it is juxtaposed with the sombre and thoughtful parts, but if the anime ever gets far enough to the next arc it's guaranteed to raise eyebrows. The manga already did that, anime even more so because normalfags are now experiencing it.

Yeah,Im thinking its kino.

Farmland is my favorite part of the story so far.

>That being said, i'm worried that this anime will attract the ''action'' crowd,
Oh that's already happened. There's no escaping that. Heck, you make it sound like people didn't already go through that with the manga. Farmland saga was such a meme because of how disappointed people were with it years back.

We already had like three threads after the episode.

I wasn't there for those threads. I want to discuss more about this great anime and Ylva's puffy vylva.

She is literally worse than farmerbro, her character doesn't make any sense and disturbs the flow of the story. Adding her was gay senpai

Did they have to get these faggots for the opening? youtu.be/5DjFpPSuGR0

It was a genuine fear. WIT, however, seems to know how to use it

If someone is doing the raping it's her with the troll-strength she inherited from her father

She gets married and has a child

Don't get excited so soon, we still haven't seen any large scale battles

Attached: 1552891080126.jpg (640x716, 73K)

True enough, but the direction has been solid so far. They might frame battles so that they don't have to show full view of a battlefield, save for one or two panning stills, and instead focus only on singular characters in the thick of it.
That's what I'm hoping for. Janky PS2 era models flailing around is worse than a quick still, even if they show only for a moment.

Brits don't go to Iceland unless they are slaves, so no.

I dropped it after the 3 episodes rule.
It's just samurai larping as vikings. Aside from that it has way too much bad humor. It's just really lame.

It's not terribly obvious. Yes, he says Artorius, which isn't a Germanic or Nordic name, and also one of the names of the man who is suggested to be the basis for King Arthur myth, but this requires you have that knowledge, and even then Vikings weren't culturally isolated people.
They acculturated and assimilated very easily wherever they settled, and had a lot of contact with different peoples. Romans too, although they brought their culture, rather than adopted others.
Artorius could have been an ancestor the knowledge of which had happened to pass on for centuries while still being the descendant of generations of Germanic peoples, eventually vikings, and then having lived in that culture with a full "viking identity".

Canute is for kidnapping.

Yeah but like I said, his armor is more Roman then Viking and even his sword seems to be like an Gladius. Hell his final arc even has him wearing a toga
>, and also one of the names of the man who is suggested to be the basis for King Arthur myth, but this requires you have that knowledge, and even then Vikings weren't culturally isolated people
True but I don't think you need a lot of knowledge to figure out that Artorius is a very Roman sounding name.

Most beautiful anime of the year.

Attached: cinegrid_vs_ep1.jpg (5760x3240, 3.79M)

True, but armour can be plundered or inherited without thinking there being much significance behind what it looks like, and a name is just a name. When you look back there are hints, but the only reason it even is a plot point is because he is the son of a welsh princess that had a direct lineage to english rulers and roman conquerors, i.e. he has a claim on the throne. That can't be gleaned from the information we get before the backstory. At most you can broadly infer that he has some connection to Rome, maybe to Wales. Maybe I'm just a brainlet but I think it takes significant jumps in deducing what his angle is and so it isn't very obvious at all.

Do one for the rest of the episodes

>mother is obsessed with return of Artorius even though he died 800 years ago
>names child after legendary hero
>even though he was born in England to the son of a guy named Olaf who probably was Skandinavian
>something thinks he is related to Artorius
Sure, and I am a decendant of Charles the Great

So what do we think will be in the anime-only content in the next 2 episodes? Obviously it will show Thorfinn’s first kills but what else?

Isn’t it closer to 5-600 years ago? I believe that Arthur was fighting the Saxons which would put it around 500 AD would it not? The historicity of Arthurian legend is confusing.

Attached: cinegrid_vs_ep2.jpg (5760x3240, 3.97M)

Wow awesome OP
>2 episodes
Wrong, only 1 episode then it's thorfinn getting adopted by the English woman

You’re right, though if I remember correctly that stint with the English woman only lasted a few chapters, maybe they’ll flesh it out more?

>around 500 AD
The Battle of Badon Hill was late 5th or early 6th century so yeah your prolly right.

Gorgeous. WIT is really good at natureshots.

>The historicity of Arthurian legend is confusing.
Yeah because there basically is very little to no historicity. It's a legend and a myth most of all, that might have a historical basis on a ruler that might have lived in 5th to 6th c. but everything else is just stories and folklore passed on as oral tradition, and then those stories got cooked up into the Arthurian legend as written texts only from like 1100 onward and attributed to this one mythical king that lived back then.
But if Vinland saga however assumes that King Arthur was the legitimate and historical ruler of Britons, and that Lucius Artorius Castus, a roman-briton, was King Arthur, then he'd have lived in the early 200s.

Are they farmers yet animeonlyfags?
I

Thanks user! Any for eps 3 & 4?

Bamboo is the studio that works on the backgrounds

Had to do 3&4 together since 4 was mostly fighting and character dialogue in a narrow pass so we didn't get a alot of backgroundshots compared to the previous episodes. Hopefully we get some good nature on ep5.

That's easy, let the crowd have the BERSERK MOVIES animation and just focus your full CG and 2d animation on specific characters

The pacing seems real fucking slow, especially when you consider we still have a timeskip coming.

They clearly want this to be a new multi-season thing

I can't tell which one is better but I am looking forward to them interacting with each other when they are sailing to Vinland.

Varangian Guard when?

In 5...

Attached: gayhelmet.png (286x528, 131K)

Maybe. SnK is ending in 2020 after 4 seasons and 7 years, so maybe Wit is hoping that they can have this in the pipeline for the foreseeable future.
I don't mind the pacing since it's directed well, but I can also see it becoming an issue later. Also SnK is actually ending soon, whereas Vinland Saga feels like it's barely halfway through and Yukimura has been drawing it for 14 years. SnK might have started as a typical seasonal anime commercial for a manga but that shit blew up so they ended up making more. Vinland Saga is popular, but it doesn't have the same kind of pull. It feels risky in a way.

How can slow pacing be an issue? Its only bad if its not consistent

Slow isn't in itself bad, but it's bad if it's slow and uninteresting. Think about farmland, but with a director who doesn't know how to frame a good shot. Scenes go on and on with a slow pace and there's nothing engaging going on.
Same with Baltic sea war. It became kind of a drag in the manga, honestly. Too little going on for too long. Nice art and action, sure, but that only takes you so far. Imagine a full season of nothing but those battles.
I'm not saying it will happen, but that it can. I phrased that awkwardly.

just finished reading the farm arc, it was so fucking good. animeonlys will hate it though

lmao@all these redditors itt. tryign so hard to justify their shit taste

I mean, they've already covered 14 chapters. The start of the series was just kind of slow in general

Thorfinn is a fucking dumbass and was responsible for everything that happened

How does it make you feel that the Thorfinn Karlsefni statue in Philadelphia was destroyed by Antifa for virtually no reason?

Attached: 800px-Thorfinn_Karlsefni_1918.jpg (800x1067, 209K)

this.
Sadly nothing.

Makes me think that Antifa only hurts its own reputation by being absolute dumbasses with stunts like this.

I thought the same, it was a nice chance of pace, introduced Einar (who is fucking based) and developed Thorfinn's character. I dunno if it's how I'd feel about it if I was up-to-date and read the chapters as they came out, but I really liked it.

>That incident could have had something to do with the fact that — and we’re just speculating here — white nationalist group Keystone United holds its annual Leif Erikson Day Celebration at the site of the statue
Boycott Wit needs to start trending

Anime of the day?

Couldn't care less about pagan statues, but I would rather beat those antifas to a pulp then to see a statue of anyting be destroyed

God fucking damn it. This is the exact shot they tried to pull in goblin slayer except this anime actually succeeded.

Dropped it after 4 minutes when I saw how chuuni it was going to be.

Is the farming stuff really that bad? The theory behind it sounds appealing to me honestly

Only "muh battles muh killing" teenagers dislike it, so draw your own conclusions.

We're still at the prologue, not yet sure on how I feel about it

I wish all these unironic "tfw too inteligent for fights" niggers would go back to redd*t/t*mblr/resetera/whatever already
Why the fuck are you even here in a thread about Vikings if you hate fights so much?

Not historical enough for me honestly.
Way too many liberties that at that point it might as well be just your average isekai anime or some shit like that.

Yea, this. By the way what vidya are you excited for bro!

If you were reading Vinland Saga for the fights and thought it would always just be about that you're a fucking idiot and missed the point completely.

Based

>Why the fuck are you even here in a thread about Vikings if you hate fights so much?
I think it's less "too inteligent for fights" and more "you should temper some expectations if you haven't read the manga" since the fanbase has already gone through dumbasses like this when Farmland was in the manga alone

?

Nothing that guy said is questionable so ask what you mean instead of just putting a "?" which mny years ago would get you a 1 day vacation.

she gets bred by Ari and has an Abe approved litter of 5 (five) kids

so the anime is probably going to end on Askeladd killing Sweyn and then getting killed by Canute right? It'll be kino if it does

Im just baffled as why you would equate a bit of creative liberty in a historically based anime to fucking Isekai. Do you know how stupid that sounds?

Im just baffled as why you would put a one (1) character reply to a post when you could have made the same post you just made now and saved us all the time.

?

A perfect fit would be Fujiwara Keiji.

He's not wrong though. Artistic liberty is one thing, but when you're taking way too much liberties (like vinland does) it can hardly be called historical anymore

That wouldn't fit at all

Probably, there's characters wondering about whether or not the spear guy could be Thorkell's rape baby, and Thorkell himself makes allusions to fucking.

Why they need to add fillers though?

I could never see Thorkell doing anything sexual. I mean he's not like a friendly giant kind of character but I just can't see him raping.

Attached: thorkelll_teaser.png (1920x1080, 1.6M)

hes not Thorkells fucking kid you retard

I'm not saying he is - you absolute fucking moron - just that a character wondered about it. Meaning he probably saw Thorkell raping at some point, or at least heard stories about it.

He has the same hair, same eyebrows and same personality. I wouldn't be surprised tbqh

He never needed to rape.

>If you kill your enemies they win

Based retard. Go back to the snk general.

ewww no

The series really took a nosedive after Askeladd died.

Yeah, but that premise is so retarded you can't help but to find Thorfinn endearing and cheer for him, even though it's impossible in the long run. Same with Trigun.

She needs a love interest.

That's when it started getting good

If Thorkell raped I feel like it would have just been shown of said during one of the scenes where he was raiding but it wasnt because his character is literally meant to be one who enjoys nothing but war

Isn't rape a big part of war? At least during their time(it still is in some places)?

Boys
>"the prologue was the best part of the series and the series fell off"
Men
>"the farm was absolute kino and the joms arc was a continuation of said kino"

Same, my impression of Thorkell is that he just likes to fight. Kind of like an overgrown child.
what if he was a virgin?

It's really fucking obvious to me that Thorkell will join the party and go full retard hippie at some point as well, or at least die trying. It was foreshadowed when he said he regrets not joining Thors on the day that he left the Jomsvikings.

The character Thorkell doesn't care about rape though.

Well I work for Thorkell's Nintendo company and I can honestly say he is one big rapist. Even the men are not spared from his veiny wrath of cockmeat. I saw 6 prolapsed anuses today in the office. SIX!

fucking this. Some of the better parts is when it delves into life and philosophy. Loved alot of brother wilbard's speeches.

Absolutely love it. And although this is heresy I really do feel this needs a proper dub for a number of reasons. Hell if they actually get an english/welsh VA for Askeladd they could really bring that entering Wales scene to life.

not yet. Most dont even know about it because with fujos if there isnt anything shipworthy in the first couple of chapters or so most give up on a series. You have to get in pretty deep in the series before you reach that arc

Nope. The farm-arc is simply too manly ( and not in a gay way) for fujos to ship anybody in it. Althrough It will not be the the same for the anime, unfortunately.

Farm arc is literally Dostoyevsky tier, it reminded me of Crime and Punishment with its moralfaggotry

I don't mind Gudrid or Hild but Garm really rubs me the wrong way for some reason. We already have Thorfinn filling the "improbably skilled teenager" role and Thorkell playing the "dude with no motivation other than fighting strong guys." Combining them both into one character makes him come off like a shitty shonen protagonist, and the special snowflake weapon doesn't help

All Garm needed was a real motivation, it would've been interesting to see Thorfinn in the spot he put others into as a child in England
