Indeed, but it's not about reliable sources, we are not talking about what truly happened in history, we are talking about the source for the manga. Since they are not reliable, the author might still deviate from it, as a manga is still a work of fiction, but It's better to be careful, he might follow the sources closely.
No, but you can't compare WW2 and the Cold War to the story that is told there. As I said, what is written in the Vinland Sagas (the main sources for the manga) is not common knowledge.
If a work of fiction were to be written on this subject, I would be deeply annoyed if you were to spoil me its end because you knew it from your historical knowledge. Because I had never heard about it before today
We are not talking about spoiling history, we are talking about spoiling a work of fiction. I call it history spoiler for the sole reason that it is technically not a manga spoiler. Instead of using your manga knowledge to spoil, you use your historical knowledge. If you were to tell someone how VS will end, you would not be spoiling history, you would be spoiling VS. It's not complicated.
The first episode was supposed to premiere worldwide more than 5 hours ago, but Amazon Prime is late. The next two's announced release date is tomorrow, July 7th, 3:40PM UTC and 4:10PM UTC.
I just hope they will give time for characters and more breathing room to scenes.
That's because it's not available yet. Prime is late. We don't know when it will be available, we just have to wait
Yeah, I agree about that one. That's what I meant, we have to gauge whether or not something is common knowledge. In that specific case, I would argue that it's not necessary to tag it, though I guess it's still better to do so, just in case (not every one has studied British history). On the contrary, what's written on that Thorfinn wiki page is definitely a spoiler, because the number of Era members who might know of it is too small.
Yeah I know, it's much more fictional than, say, Kingdom (Hara sometimes quotes the Shiji (his historical source) !). But we never know, the author might follow the historical figure sometimes
I was talking about little Thorfinn stabbing a guy. Got the timing wrong on the video.
Oh, in that case, I don't think so, or at least I can't remember it
No anime is still better than what we got for Berserk and Kingdom
That manga can never be done justice by animation. It's best left alone.
I just want to quickly back you up on this. Just because grognards know their norse history doesn't mean I want to read "Oh Boy can't wait to see how Grokiban gets blood eagled in today's episode!" (which is a totally made up example if it wasn't obvious).
And won't this also lessen the exposure of the show to the public? Chances of future seasons seem grim...?
It's not detailed, but this probably means any English/German-speaking country. So not only the US, UK and Germany, but also Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India. I'm rather hopeful that it's gping to be available to more countries than just those speaking primarly English, mostly because they said Denmark and Iceland were going to have the episodes too.
Yes ! My mistake, sorry for the confusion. Thanks for pointing it out
Apparently, we shouldn't worry too much.
If they could make Vagabond and a god damn competent version of freaking Berserk all would be right in the world
They said English and German areas, others will have to wait a week more
Well you should be able to check right now, since the episode is available
