Jojo Pt 5 and Zokuowarimonogatari are better tought those are from the previois year certainly.
Ian Myers
Thats the dumbest shit ive heard. Its like saying that Eva is only liked for its flesh mecha gimmick. It is a interesting setting to draw an audience but not what keeps them watching, its either the story or the characters.
Christopher Lopez
If it's end at Farmland saga, it's masterpiece
Nicholas Rivera
it's a great adaptation of mediocre source material Vinland Saga is a good adaptation of amazing source material
Adrian Taylor
based Askechad fag one of the best character ever
P.S anglos arent humans Brittania is celto-roman kill them all
Most of the times it looks pretty bad. Still in the top four of the year so far though with Mob II, Dororo and Sarazanmai.
Carson Foster
>Sarazanmai Why?
Benjamin Robinson
>That annoying yellow faggot ruins it for me. Same
Lucas Taylor
K. I love both series. Now what?
Josiah Jones
>Why? Well, I know those other ones don't hold a candle. In fact maybe putting Dororo in there was an exaggeration. But it's just that the show didn't have that strong competition.
Mason Gutierrez
>Now what? I'm coming to teach you a lesson, stay where you are for ~30 minutes
Jason Cruz
bros I was so afraid when I saw the trailer because the cgi looked wierd
Back when the first announced the anime adaptation I cried of joy.
Ian Peterson
Fire Force is also looking great. Boogiepop also had great tone and atmosphere throughout. >>Creative blending of 2d and 3d animation in use of motion To bad it also looks like shit.
Ian Gomez
People keep talking to me about some shitty viking show on netflix or something like that and I keep ignoring them. I only need Vinland Saga.
Lincoln Rivera
>mob psycho s2 Fuck sake OP for a second there I thought you had good taste
Jordan Taylor
More like fan-service force. Great sakuga and SHAFT direction doesn't save a lackluster source-material.
Fan-service doesn't bother me and plot is the thing I am least interested in in an anime, so it works fine for me.
Jonathan King
It’s boring garbage. MP2 was amazing though.
Sebastian Thompson
What didnt you like about it?
Benjamin Hernandez
Too bad Boogiepop absolutely butchered the first arcs
Josiah Johnson
>boring ADHD ridden zoomer.
Carter Robinson
Outside of the great animation, it is mostly just an average shounen story.
Jordan Hill
So you just want meaningless sakuga? No good story or characterization? Might as well just watch AMV clips instead.
Justin Cox
And it flopped so hard. Sure nips have shit taste, but I still can't comprehend how even objectively worse series like Sacred beasts could sell better. What do nips even want?
Jaxson Reed
The pacing is terrible and the CGI is Overlord tier.
Andrew Ortiz
My favorite part is the direction, pacing and tone. And at least episode 2 showed some thematic depth.

Chase Perry
>hahaha look I'm hating naruto, do I blend in now? go back
John Morgan
I read the manga and also think that it's too slow for anime. If you watch it after all episodes will be out the story will surely looks good. But for a weekly show they linger too much. And they even added a fucking filler for Thorfinn's childhood. I'm not surprised at all that anime only feel bored.
Joshua Russell
I remember when naruto cancer was banned from Yea Forums altogether. And now shits like you try to look like oldfags. Ridiculous.
Josiah Miller
Fucking based, they don't care about attracking the action crowd or the fan service crowd, started with the flashback, fleshed out Thorfinn more with fillers, I fucking love them, all the plebs are getting filtered.
Gabriel Hall
naruto was banned because narutards are retarded spammers. That doesn't mean everything in naruto is shit. Stop being a contrarian retard
> they don't care about attracking the action crowd or the fan service crowd Are you an idiot? That's why they flopped. Now there will be no second season because no money from the BDs.
Chase Gonzalez
>started with the flashback, fleshed out Thorfinn more with fillers you mean they fucked up the pacing? Yeah, that's really based
>we're only getting 1/3 of an amazing series almost perfectly adapted instead of all of it getting shittily adapted for isekai niggers oh no... what a shame
Luis Bailey
No I'm not an idiot, when did I say I cared about the fucking pre-order sales in Japan, I'm happy one of my favourite manga is getting a good adaptation even if its for one season. All you haters can fuck off and watch your shitty whatever shounenshit, isekaishit or fan-service shows that came out this season.
Juan Ward
Room temp IQ if you really think the manga's way to start would work in anime. Do you really think a 3 episode flashback would be good pacing? Think for one second.
Dominic Myers
I wish I could back
in time to the days when naruto was bannable on sight on this board.
Tyler Anderson
>All you haters No, you are complete butthirted retard. Where did you get that I'm a hater? I wanted season two, but now there won't be one because it's a flop. And you should care for preorders if you wanted it too.

Naruto is the least annoying thing on this board.
Samuel Martinez
Snk S3P2 is aoty.
Leo Thomas
EHfags ruined the anime.
Wyatt Phillips
If that's The Last Kingdom, it's good but the books it's based on are better.
>Creative blending of 2d and 3d animation in use of motion Stop misusing the term "creative". They're just using 3dshit for stuff that's difficult to craft in 2d like vehicles or backgrounds. There's nothing new or original about that.
Nathan Perry
Not OP but the use of CG is really good. Specially when you see how other anime have used it in the past without knowing how to blend the 3d with the 2d so it looks fluid. Though the CG in the first battle sequence was a little wonky at some shots.
Michael King
>Not OP Sure, sperg.
Carter Campbell
>Specially when you see how other anime have used it in the past without knowing how to blend the 3d with the 2d so it looks fluid. This has been done before though you fucking newfag. Just look at something like ufotable fateshit or KnY from last season.

Justin Fisher
Fantasy/medieval bullshit will always be shit in any media. Time to move on.
Jose Richardson
What are you into then?
Benjamin Martinez
Its actually very underutilized if you think about. Count how many actually medieval anime there are if you remove Isekaishit. Real medieval shit is hard to find.
The moralfaggotry ruins the show for me to be honest. It destroys the immersion.
>a true warrior needs no sword >I'll pay 8(!) sheep for some dead slave >i want my revenge in a fair duel >sure I've been raping and pillaging all my life but then I suddenly, for no real reason, I attained 21th century morality and decided to run away >war bad. men stupid. women good
Cooper Perry
He wants his revenge in a fair duel because Viking society was about honor and he doesn't want to be like Askeladd, though in the next ep Thorfinn will try to kill Askeladd in his sleep, this is anime only though.
Asher Nelson
>>sure I've been raping and pillaging all my life but then I suddenly, for no real reason, I attained 21th century morality and decided to run away brainlet, they even explained his reasoning in the show already
Christian Parker
Do you think morals were inverted in the 21st century? How the hell would you know if there weren't any people like Thors within the viking-era?
Oliver Wood
>though in the next ep Thorfinn will try to kill Askeladd in his sleep, this is anime only though. Wut. Why did they need to add this shit?
Grayson Flores
Because they can.
Dominic Gutierrez
They are retarded then. Not only they add fillers they also make contradictions with manga.
Mason Allen
>they also make contradictions with manga. Literally what?
Chase Phillips
It feels unnecessary too, since once Thorfinn grows up he's constantly asking to fight with Askeladd. The anime doesn't need any extra scenes to show how much he wants the ladd dead.
Carson Ramirez
dororo is shit
Cameron Allen
It might not be a contradiction yet.. We haven't seen the episode
Benjamin Robinson
Is this Vinland fags last ditch effort to get people to watch their garbage series? Its dead bro nobody liked it but shitters.

Oh fuck off,retard. It looks better than the manga did at the beginning of its release.
You're cherrypicking hand drawn segments and even then it's 50/50 on what looks better. There's a lot of nasty corner cutting 3dcg, that's a massive downgrade, in the show too.
Wyatt Martinez
What are you trying to say sperg? That because a better a studio are dead that somehow makes WIT's work here any less shit?
Tyler Richardson

>You're cherrypicking hand drawn segments Are you mentally ill? 97 project of it is hand-drawn and 2d. if I showed you only the CG parts THEN it would be cherrrypicking,not what I posted.

You had some good points but you also sound like a complete normie fag with the naruto reference, Vinland Saga is polar opposite to shit thats coming out to day and has good characterization and writing and ofcourse very well directed, very interesting setting we haven't seen in an anime, but it's not based on a true story, it has real life characters and follows history but its still fiction.

Cameron Scott
>Yeah,just give me THREE episodes of flashbacks after the first episode then go back to present-time,great pacing. This is why retards like you don't direct anime.
John Williams
Your entire argument relies on the assumption that the pacing of the manga is somehow bad and would require THREE episodes translated to anime. Also your formatting is fucking horrible, are you drunk?
Nathaniel Jones
But the first 2 chapters in the manga is the present then its a flashback and they where long chapters aswell, 80 and 40 pages, it wouldn't have worked, especially with the 2 week break, literally everyone would have dropped it.
Don't bother replying to shitposters. The guy is autistic as fuck and has been posting the same "fanservice" shit in every Fire Force thread since the anime started airing.
Christopher Lee
he hates it
Kayden Russell
Easily the worst thing in the manga is how preachy it becomes, and what you said about him becoming a shitty 21st century treehugger, that’s where the sales died too.
Camden Bennett
It's literally a samurai story, but with nords. They literally all act like samurais its weird
Grayson Fisher
>are you drunk? Yes.
Noah Garcia
>They literally all act like samurais its weird Thors is every character in the show? Did you even watch it? Everyone else opposes Thors's view on war.
Anthony Rivera
Samurais wanted to kill as many people as possible and die on the battlefield to get to Valhalla?
Thors philosopy has nothing to do with samurai. Samurai are all about Loyalty and physical strength. They were warmongering and martial. Thor is a humble pacifist, the polar opposite of a samurai.
Asher Bennett
but yes it‘s pretty good. At least far better than that other viking show
Oliver Flores
the samurai class was descended from Nordic aryans
>worst paced and uneventful part of the manga where the only real character development happens near the end of it Might be enjoyable if you like slice of life, since they revolve around the entire idea of jack shit happening.
Gabriel Morgan
If they ever animate this part this is when everyone will drop it and it will die.
Eli Anderson
>the only real character development happens near the end of it If you have a brain the size of a turd nugget,yeah. There's not a chapter that goes by without adding more development to Thorfinn. The only reason the farm gets so much slack (from ADHD ridden shounenshitters) is because the pacing seems bad when it was being released. Re-read it now and tell me your opinion of it then.
Why do you consider world building and story pacing a bad thing? Do you really need to jump straight into action 2 chapters after the reunion? There's plenty of things happening, and i actually found the farming parts enjoyable.
I actually felt genuine anger on behalf of the characters whenthe farmhands destroyed the crops
Anthony Morgan
It's pretty good, seasons 1 and 2 are fun. It's about a half viking half saxon defending England against viking chieftans while actually respecting vikings more than saxons.
I mean, so does Eren. He would've died sooner if it hadn't been for his Attack Titan powers.
Thorfinn and Eren are polar opposites though. Thorfinn is an incredibly skilled warrior while Eren was a mediocre soldier. The only thing that makes them similar is having an edgy phase and wanting to get revenge, and then realizing that the world is a cruel place. However, Eren chose to embrace his hatred and exterminate his enemies while Thorfinn chose to abandon the way of the warrior and became a pacifist. Personally, I find it interesting how well these series compliment each other.
Blake Peterson
Is this the greatest water in a bucket animation of all time?
It's decent but certainly not the best. That famous scene from Kyoukai would be. Someone post it.
Jose Stewart
I still don't understand the people shitting on this, it's just typical shounen fare. They make you laugh a bit and give you a boner before some cheesy fights and repeat ad infinitum. It's the winning formula, you should know whether or not it's something you like by now
I can’t wait to see the thread explode after that episode. The hype was palpable
Brayden Peterson
You are fucking retarded. The adaptation is just mediocre and the 3dcg is disgusting. I expect this level of delusion from Madotards and Huntervirgins not VSfags.
Jackson Russell
Pretty much. The show simply has above average production values but you need WAY more than that for the kind of shit this series needs adapted. At least if you want it to be decently faithful. This doesn't have production values on par with something like Chunibyou or Flip flappers and you need more than that to get a good result here. Faggot OP needs to stop overpraising mediocrity.

Should've done an adaptation of Blade of the Immortal or Vagabond instead.
Carson Wilson
I have a hard time getting invested in fights where a character deliberately handicaps themselves since if they win it just means the gap between them was great from the start, and if they lose they might've succeeded in spite of their arrogance.
The actual visual direction is shit. Dont get fooled by the "OMG SAKUGA 11/10" gimmick. SHAFT directing doesnt work on a shounen like this. Crap characters and story aswell.
Aaron Robinson
>a true warrior needs no sword Well obviously, a true warrior should be able to defeat his opponents with only his fists. Imagine being such a shitter that you have to rely on weapons to win a fight, fucking coward.

Michael Carter
Kaguya-sama is still better.
The CGI in that show is so badly executed that it's not watchable for me. Doesn't blend in with the rest of the anime at all. When they cut to one of those CGI scenes I'm like "what the fuck" and then start laughing, Vinland Saga at least executed their CGI well.
Aiden Reyes
The plot was so incredibly predictable. Other than the sword break, which was cool, nothing really impacted me because I saw it all coming a mile away.
Nicholas Thomas
Kaguya-sama butchered the fireworks episode and the dishonestly rotoscoped animated Chika dance scene was the worst cancer to plague this board that winter.

David Long
>3d And I was about to pick it up, thanks for the warning.
Its a contradiction cause Askelad at a point of character development tells Thorfinn that real hatred is killing someone in his sleep which is what askelad does in his backstory
Small contradiction but it was a pretty important scene/quote in the manga for askelad
What do you possibly have to complain about with the Chika dance? It was pure hot fire. It looked great. Why you bitching?
Ethan Evans
This desu. I've heard the screeching about rotoscoping but fail to see how it's relevant. There's a reason Chika took the entire internet by storm, and it's a damn good one.

What was Disney even thinking by doing a "realistic" adoptation of a movie of talking fucking lions? It allows for no creativity like the cartoon did since you are limited to "realism" which still looks uncanney as fuck. Who is the target audience for this?
Yes but that also includes the retards from twitter who dont like how the new movie looks but they think they have to see the movie because of some "obligation" they have because they enjoyed the original movie 20 years ago.

Don't think he's wrong anyway. Why are all modern mass shooters are males when both genders have equal access to guns? Women in the past most likely become a warrior because to protect themselves from men, not because they want to seek power themselves (and not like men would allow them become leaders no matter how strong the women will be anyway).
Joseph Collins
This thread proves that Yea Forums are a bunch of contrarians with shit taste. Shoo, shoo back to your flavour of the month, moe, SoL, ecchi garbage and let the adults with refined taste discuss some real anime.
Gavin Martin
Yea Forums. Yea Forums isn't NEARLY as bad as Yea Forums, trust me. At least Yea Forums is still arguing about games and people getting angry. Yea Forums is a bunch of incoherent inbreds, much like Yea Forums just spouting memes. It's just as pathetic as people on Yea Forums fantasizing about cartoon women.
Jeremiah Ward
>At least Yea Forums is still arguing about games user....
Owen Moore
Great bait friendo.
Benjamin Ramirez
I hope when the series reaches later arcs of the story, the OP keeps and continues the shot of Thorfinn aging up from the flashback to England. It looks really cool
Dominic Bennett
I think Vinland Saga overall has a better blending then Fire Force. The worst parts would be the long camera sailing vs the truck driving through the city. The truck looks worse in my opinion. They're both far and away better than the atrocity that is Kimetsu no Yaiba though.
Jaxson Brown
Fire Force has such great direction, but holy shit is the plot so goddamn bland. I guess it's fine if you like spectacle, but the few eps haven't really hooked me at all. I want to find out a little more about what the deal is with weird dieselpunk christian tokyo, but I don't give two shits about the characters or general plot. Also making it a generic battle anime seems like a waste of potential, a show about actual fire fighters with a bit of battle shonen sounds neat, but they don't even do any actual firefighting.
Ayden Campbell
The first few eps are just setting up the main character's arc. No shit their predictable. Anyone with half a brain would figure Thors would get killed to give Thorfinn a motivation.
Landon Long
A true warrior would be able to defeat any foe with just his talk no jutsu. For every enemy he defeats this way, he gains a new ally. It is the most perfect and complete technique.
Brody Green
What an absurd series of notions. >Why are all modern mass shooters are males when both genders have equal access to guns? Because female mass murderers prefer poisoning people over bloody attacks. >Women in the past most likely become a warrior because to protect themselves from men No one becomes a warrior in isolation. Women who fought did so alongside men, against an enemy that may have included other women. The men and women on the winning side profit, while the men and women of the losing side suffer. Though men do the vast majority of the fighting, they cannot go to war without the support of their women. Someone has to look after the children and keep society functioning. Women are fully capable as a group of vetoing wars. Hell, a bunch of women complaining was enough to force the release of their Jewish husbands in Nazi Berlin. (The Rosenstrasse Protest)
Thomas Adams

>a true warrior needs no sword kinda dumb, agreed, real life isn't so fucking easy that you can just become "da perfec warrio" by not using armor or proper weapons, but it's something you just have to suspend your disbelief for - Thors is the only instance where it's hard to believe he'd be this good >I'll pay 8(!) sheep for some dead slave also retarded, Thors' family would be dead if he did shit like that, times back then were extremely fucking harsh and there's examples in the same fucking manga later on where doing such shit actually led to people starving to death >i want my revenge in a fair duel believable considering their society and beliefs at the time, it wasn't like today where people have fedoras on all the time >sure I've been raping and pillaging all my life but then I suddenly, for no real reason, I attained 21th century morality and decided to run away also pretty believable, war is fucking horrible and scars everyone, in contrast to what media says about it >war bad. men stupid. women good what
The "killing is bad" thing gets a bit retarded later on in the manga but most of the time it actually leads to some pretty nice conclusions that make sense - for example it stops Canute from becoming a corrupt, evil asshole after he meets Thorfinn again. But like with Trigun, you just have to close one eye and pretend it works.
She pretty much already likes him and only puts up the "I'mma fucking kill u if you stop going for non-lethal" as a fascade. You have to be a retard to not see it.

Anthony Carter
>Wars are fought by men and women do suffer as a result of war. Every demographic suffers on account of war. Women share in both the costs/profits and culpability of war. Men do the majority of the fighting, and the majority of being maimed or killed. Do you think men are less likely to be impoverished or displaced by war? Is being more likely to survive physically unscathed in return for greater likelihood of losing a loved one supposed to be the greater suffering? I'd say the person who died a violent death suffered more than the people who survive them. The idea that men do all the fighting without the support of women but women have to bear all the suffering is fucking asinine.
>women do suffer as a result of war Clearly not the worst of it, given that the vast majority of them never engage in it. youtube.com/watch?v=WM8bTdBs-cw
Evan Hill
Well then you basically agreed with Yukimura Makoto then, men started the war and fighting, of course men suffered. Women just suffered together with the men even though they never started the war at the first place. If you think somehow women grouped together to say no to war in past and men listened to them, why the hell we still have abortion debates until today?

Where on earth did your train of thought get derailed? How many men would go to war if their mothers would never speak to them again for enlisting? Or if their wives would take their children and leave? The idea that men do whatever they want and women only do what men allow them to do isn't historical revisionism, it's whole cloth fiction. The biggest opponents to women's suffrage were women. Once the majority of women were in favor of suffrage, they got the vote. Compare that to an actually suppressed group like, say, black people. Abortion is restricted only in states where the majority of women are against it. Women and men have always been utterly dependent upon each other. In no civilization ever have women been the poor, helpless victims of men's whims.
I have thousands of non-lewd pictures of my favorite female characters. I'm quite capable of liking women without drinking third wave feminist koolaid or being a blithering retard like you.
Xavier Roberts
I wish I had the mental illness required to write such longass posts just because a mangaka said that women suffer from war.
I'm talking historically. Once a minority group has equal rights (including the absence of Jim Crow shenanigans), any argument for suppression becomes pretty suspect.
Don't worry, your soft skull will never hold any ideas worth voicing.

There is literally nothing wrong with the water

ok pal

>people jerking this show off right and left >decide to see what it's about >generic viking story I knew how bad it was going to be when the the arrow shot into Thor in the first scene disappeared between shots
Nicholas Brown
The slow start will have zoomers and ADHD addled 30-yo boomers dropping it, and it's a primarily male cast with no yuri baiting so trannies will actively attack it. We live in a cursed world.
Jordan Ortiz
there was a sound que for that nigger, and you can see it for a little bit, fucking fag.
Nathan Jenkins
Part 5 animation wise yes, but even dressed up in a beautiful coating it's still Part 5.
>it's a primarily male cast with no yuri baiting so trannies will actively attack it Dude I know trannies are bad but what kind of bizarro super tumblr do you hang out in? Calm down, no-one cares it has no girls.
Charles White
look you can see it flying off and with the sound you can hear it break
So they'll probably tie Ylva's busy working phase to avoid mourning side-chapter with some filler for child Thorfinn during the same time period, I guess I can accept that.
Jayden Diaz
I was hoping they'd add this part, since a full episode of filler would've been too much.
Joshua Reyes
The manga is god-tier feelgood
Gavin Thompson
Make a cinegrid of Fan service force then we can tell.
Jeremiah Nelson
>fan service force lmao someone is sour. How dare an anime pander to its viewers?
Levi Torres
There is something wrong when your story and characters are so bare-ridden you need the self insert to sexually harrass any female he can find(with them ususally not minding it) so the 17 year old with his right hand down his crotch watching this garbage wont close his toshiba laptop.
Daniel Wright
cuz nips only care about two things: >cute girls >nippon history cirlcejerking
Blake Jones
>there's no hole, or blood cope
Kayden Wood
My wife Ylva is so cute!
Ayden Collins
>yuri on ice outsells everything Nice generalization.
Dylan Reyes
If Vikings are gay, why isn't out selling everyone?
Sebastian Ward
How retarded are you? He had armor thats why it didn't effect him.
Dominic Peterson
well yeah he was wearing chainmail, the arrow wasn't stuck in his flesh
Jason Smith
Ari how are you posting when you died 900 years ago
Michael Campbell
Everybody loves Ylva but I want to fuck Helga instead
I've heard that the next two episodes will be filler, is that true?
Camden Miller
t. Thorfinn
Charles Gutierrez
It's no recipe for success, lots of shows that are gayer are flopping. Do you really think that adding x and y pandering to a show will automatically make it a hit?
Jayden King
No, they will be ANIME ORIGINIAL SCENES, not FILLER. There is a very big difference. One advances the plot and adds more development to the characters and story while the other is there to fill time.
Jacob Gray
there's literally nothing of value in Fire Force except the fan service, and it doesn't even have the best fan service this season, Dumbbell completely annihilates it in that department
Jason Gonzalez
No, just some anime-only scenes to flesh out Thorfinn's character more.
Jason Kelly
Episode 6 should be straight outta manga
Austin Perez
No, but gay shit always dies good, look at jojo, banana fish and those two other gay shows.
Thinking of the day when Thorfinn kills him ofcourse we know what happens
Carter Gutierrez
because the story isnt about him or his past. he dies early. its about the kid. they stated it directly so they could quickly give context to the audience, and the situation in the show was that he was explaining it to another character that didnt understand. it was a quick summary of how/why he is this outlier, and its important to have that because him being that way is important to the story later, but HIS story isnt the main focus. you're just retarded.
Justin Perry
Seconded,anybody got a link?
Colton Wright
>work that was already god-tier,on par with the likes of Berserk Stopped reading here OP is a plebeian faggot
Jackson Smith
Vinland Saga is superior to Berserk. Berserk only has one good arc and it came out in the fucking 90's
Fuck off Yea Forumsermin. Narutards will never belong here.
Luis Cooper
There's a good reason we never saw the Frankish king ever again.
Matthew White
Yes but we welcome all the cloverfags with passion!
Nathan Powell
Jabba wasn't a king, just some noble
Jacob Fisher
There are posters on this very board that refuse to watch a show if it has male characters, and they are extremely vocal about it. It's a very common tranny trait.
Cameron Richardson
And what's that reason?
Jackson Miller
my husband Canute WHEN
Justin Reyes
Who wrote the screenplay for this episode? Fucking good script. I can't speak a lick of jap but understood everything in this episode.
Juan Reed
I thought that was just shitposting.
Jordan King
I don't know what reason he's talking about but the noble's design is incredibly out of place with literary everyone else
Hunter Davis
Subs when? There's barely any dialogue in this episode so it should be easy.
>not interested in picking up obvious fujoshit >"why so insecure tranny incel moefag closeted faggot xddd" Not saying that trannies don't browse Yea Forums but fujos are a way bigger menace. It's also common for retard shitposters to call anyone they don't like "tranny", because it's the hip insult these days and it's not edgy enough to call someone a nigger or a faggot anymore.
John Richardson
>Thinking any other show could possibly be AOTS while airing in the same season as Symphogear
720p too low for me, i'll wait a bit longer. Thanks anyway
Jordan Phillips
The show is not even 1080p, this is good quality.
Asher Bailey
I agree with that. It was so strange.
Andrew Hernandez
Get out of this thread. This is a non-trannie thread.
Parker Sanders
>upscaled chinese cartoons
Owen Peterson
I can see a big difference between 720p and 1080p on the websites though. Whether its upscaled or not, it has more bitrate and less blur in fullscreen.
James Morris
Streaming? The quality is always lower that way.
Asher Johnson
Submarines fucking where
Jack Stewart
In 5...
Carter Taylor
This. I really don't see the difference between 720p and 1080p. Is 1080 just reconverted 720p?
Austin Thomas
SUBS FUCKIN OUT
Isaiah Hall
>[HorribleSubs] Vinland Saga - 05 [1080p].mkv
Anthony Walker
>piano music with him rolling down hill I giggled at the combination.
>Expecting a serious historical drama which doesn't use modern quirks like Golden Kamuy in the first arc to be popular Honestly Vinland Saga anime has more chances to be popular overseas rather than in Japan.
Better medieval show than Game of Thrones, that's for sure. Whole show is kino and really shows respect to the time period.
Michael Ramirez
No. And thanks to the childhood/adolescence he's about to have he never gets a proper diet to help him grow. As a result he's a manlet even as an adult.
Samuel Turner
childhood malnutrition is a serious problem user
Hunter Walker
Your definition of filler doesn't mean shit. Filler is when producers need to fill the gap between episodes because there is no content to adopt so they just churn out something that doesn't relate to the mainplot of the story at all and has no consequences to the story or the characters. This episode(and the next) are ANIME ORIGINAL: which means they advance the plot and add more characterization and worldbuilding to the story.
Easton Johnson
If it's not in the manga, it's not canon, making it... can you guess it? Filler.
Samuel Murphy
Filler exists do do nothing but buy time. This is anime original content. It actually expands on the source material to enhance to experience.
Robert Johnson
i mean they were in the manga, chapter 21.5
Nolan Phillips
That's what it does. They obviously want it to be 24 episodes just to satisfy their autism. It was a nice episode but doesn't really add anything
Landon Fisher
This is a pretty pathetic argument and I hope you realize how pathetic it is.
Liam Brooks
>Literally no argument Just concede and stop embarrassing yourself.
Joseph Flores
>tfw ywn rape women and lolis
James Long
>It actually expands on the source material to enhance to experience So your definition of filler is entirely subjective? Well then I say filler doesn't exist. Yes, those hundreds of Naruto episode all expands on the source material to enhance the experience. You literally can not prove me wrong. Here you go, faggot
Jace Martin
WIT are based as fuck, SnK this year was elder god-tier
Should I just skip the anime for now and read the manga if I wanted to get into this or is the anime a good enough jumping on point? It's been on my backlog for years.
Charles Rogers
Yes, so was leif ericksson and Vinland was actually america but that doesnt mean that the story is based on a real one, just bc your characters are based on real people doesnt make the story based on a real one. Thats not how it works.
we already established that OP is a faggot, but Vinland is definitely best show this year, OP just listen pretentious reasons
Jayden Gutierrez
If you haven't watch it by now .Might as well watch it. You will be just comparing the manga and anime back and forth if you read it now. Read it once it's done. The adaptation actaully adds more to some characters than the manga.
Michael Gutierrez
Bullshit, you're telling me King Arthur wasn't a cute blonde retarded girl? Can anyone confirm this man's accusations?
Landon Howard
If you haven't read it by now*
Luis Edwards
>>Little to no shameless fan-service to pander to brainless otaku degenerates
I agree. Finally some good adult show.
Andrew Jenkins
I watched the first 4 episodes in a day and then read the entire manga in ~4 days after that. It's worth it
Vinland Saga is based on historical figures, not history. Almost nothing that happens is accurate to contemporary sources
Daniel Campbell
but it expanded on the source material, it showed us how Thorfinn changed and became stronger, I think that added a lot.
Logan Gray
You seem confused, I agree with this definition.
Juan Campbell
OP tried to be pretentious is all im saying but Vinland is the best this year, don't @ me.
Anthony Long
Well i'm happy you conceded then. Name's paul btw,nice to meet you ;).
Elijah Rogers
almost like they took that and made a story from it. like, they used it as a base or something.
no it didn't
Joseph Flores
There is no credible depiction of him so unless proven otherwise (s)he can be whatever u want
Adrian Miller
tfw read vinland so many years ago I don't even remember anything before the time skip
Parker Fisher
The main plot is very much based on historical events. It doesn't have to be 100% accurate because it's only based on history, it doesn't attept to recreate the exact events as they happened
Mangafags: How much longer until he becomes badass?
Kayden Morris
define "badass"
Ethan Miller
Farmland beating.
Josiah Hughes
~2 episodes until he turns into a """"""""badass"""""""", next season will probably be when he realizes that true badassery comes from cultivating inner strength and praising Allah
David Moore
He wants to kill him, but he wants it to be in an honorable duel like his father.
Jose Turner
Seriously speaking, i think they should have just ended the manga right after farmland saga with a more conclusive chapters following it. I'm saying this mainly because if you look up thorfinns name, he kinda doesnt get what he wants. Ending it with a more 'hopeful' conclusion or beliefs would have felt right i think.
Nicholas Young
You dont deserve an argument since you cant even seem to read properly.
Robert Jackson
It's possible the Manga ending won't end same as what happened in history
Ayden Rogers
down right likely even, since according to real history, Thorfinn Karlsfeni's expedition to Vinland happened 3 years before the prologue
Ethan Martin
The author still isnt gonna do anything too drastic inspite of it.
Jordan Bailey
I see, so you don't have any arguments
Aaron Russell
But i also do think Thorfinn's ending won't be a happy one. I mean it could but i have a feeling it won't
