fyi the manga has a sequel now, it's called BoTI Bakumatsu Arc
hiroaki samura is just supervising though, writer and artist isn't him but the art feels like early BoTI so far
Not quite what I meant. At any rate, I made a manga thread so we can discuss spoilers there.
Literally just started watching episode one... wow. This show is gorgeous. Wit Studio has done it again š
As a fan of the Manga, I'm so happy that the adaptation is nailing it so far. I'm not sure if I like starting from the young Thorfinn stuff right of the bat but I get it.
Askeladd's Seyiuu is real good. Basically how I imagined him to be when reading. Thorkell is gonna take some getting used too, I'd imagine a bit more unhinged but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

This anime delivered and more. I was recommended the manga but never got around to it but this is just so good so far.
I can already see the death flags so the wait for next episodes is going to be painful to see if the father will survive or not.

Also, unless you live in an English or German area, you'll have to wait a week for the episodes to drop
I see.I guess I can still watch it on my friend's account, but I would've preffered to watch it somewhere else.I'm not a fan of amazon.
Presuming everyone watching has Prime, you can also read V1 of the manga as a free borrow.
It let me borrow the first three volumes, very good stuff. Will spoil the anime though as it starts differently.
I do have the bundle from the humble bundle a while back so I am set once I finish the anime.
Thanks anyway.
Watched the first ep . I like everything except for character animations . Like in normal scenes characters look stiff and does not have that fluidity and motion that I associate with high profile studios /shows . And when it goes into action scenes the cgi is distracting and framey and they use it too much .
Other than that , i like everything. Funny thing is, when i was reading manga years ago, when Thorkell showed up i had same VA in my head as it is in anime , hahah.

I say good for it. To me, anime is never going to match how good some Seinen manga's look.
Wow this show is good. My heart is racing. I cant wait until child Thorfinn is over. He's unbearable lol
Ari... I hope you live bro
Ari... I hope you live bro
small spoilers :
Don't worry, edgy teen thorfinn is even more unbearable
Watched the first episode for the lulz, so can I assume the Manga is just very loosely "based" on the Greenland saga?

Thorfinn is Thorfinn, but since there aren't much historical records of his childhood/teenage years, most of what we see about him is fictional. But it's different for other characters or events, such as the one told in the first episode about King Harald
At one point, this changes and we start to follow slightly more the real Thorfinn's life (Edit: not something this season of the anime will cover btw). But afaik even in the manga, we haven't reached yet the stuff told in the sagas... It will come though, we just gotta wait
Yeah, the manga actually starts with a battle scene that takes place after this. What the anime decided to start with is actually a flashback.

It's still true. But there doesn't seem to be much momentum to kill, at least sales wise. Not a single older volume has made its way into the daily top 500 (volume 22 came out recently so there is that). And if you are worried about how much the show is discussed, the fact that it ended with a cliffhanger will help. And with 24 episodes, a break at the beginning won't be as harmful as it would be for a 12 episode show.
Slow Start but i am already extremely intrested in the world and the charcters. I can see how it would not be for everyone as it doesn't include a lot of action in these first episodes but the charcter and world building is enough to become really invested
I am pretty certain Vinland the manga isn't finished yet and the manga's event differ from the real life story of Thorfinn
OP
OP
But here's the thing, the manga isn't finished yet. While most of it is fictional, it has some historical background, even for Thorfinn. So we just can't know whether the manga will follow the historical sources or not. Therefore, it's better to be careful and not say anything about what's told in the sagas, just in case.
True...also while i didn't watch it there, GoGoAnime literally spoils a key plot point of the anime
OP

Yep, MAL uses the same synopsis. I think that's the one on the first volume back cover ? (I'm not sure as I've got the French one, which also spoils the anime). I had the same issue in the OT, but I deleted as soon as I realised episode 1 did not adapt chapter 1
The intro music? It feels out of place after hearing that credits song.
They could have went with something orchestra or similar to attack on titans
Overall after seeing episode 1 I'm sold on the anime. It has a mature vibe to it than shounen
I was thinking similarly until one of the characters is able to jump 50 feet into the air.
Browsing on youtube, I found this video that tries to put Vinland Saga, Vikings, and Last Kingdom into a timeline. He avoids spoilers for all three series, but there are history spoilers.
Yep, as expected this is off to a good start. It's only going to get better too. Y'all better buckle up.
Did they ever say how many total episodes there will be. Will it have a seasonal type realease or just release as they go?
24 episodes. I'm not sure what you mean by seasonal release. It's 1 episode per week.
Watched all 3 episodes. I can tell I'm gonna love this and it's gonna be one I'm gonna be watching for years. You can tell a show is special, and this has got it all so far. Loving that WIT is on this, feels like I'm watching movie-quality anime in episodic fashion.
His question was if we can expect a new season every year. I think that this is gonna be one of WITs new babies so if it gives everything a great boost and makes the rounds we can surely expect more.
Finally got around to watching this, just finished episode 2. Really amazing adaptation, they perfectly capture the tone of Makoto Yukimura's work.
Like, all those lingering shots with that really quiet and melancholy music is pitch perfect Vinland Saga/Planetes. This could've easily turned into a very actiony adaptation and I'm glad it didn't, the people working on it clearly understand what makes Vinland Saga so special.
