I'd like to point to a scene with a throw away character: the girl that stole a ring and felt guilty and feared hell. She wanted to hide the ring and that was that saved her life whereas her entire village got slaughtered. How she laughed at the realisation made me think that she'd become a regular side character, but nope. She had just one more role to play... This is the level we see in one time characters!

[@Azzarrel]

there is also the french duke, that looks like a frag. Not every side char is developed well.

This is one of the few animes that I had high exceptions for going into because of how everyone was praising it that not only fulfilled my expectations, but exceeded it. Also, Askeladd is one of the best written anime characters of the 21st century. Change my mind.

[@Vulcano7965]

I mean it's kinda logical the way thorfinn acts. He's still a juvenile after all. We're all just too used to overpowered, matured and overintelligent 12 year olds in anime. That just lays the groundwork for his later character developement we will see in S2 & S3. Best part: the story just doesn't forget about his past actions and behaviours. He did pretty fucked up things as Askeladds personal killing tool after all. Farmland Saga will blow it out of the water again!

[@MA-yu2ss]

Yeah I feel like thorfinn gets too much hate for being naive

[@calar8]

Askeladd is the deepest and most interesting character to come out of anime in the last decade. Fight me.

[@Exel3nce]

Hmm He is up there

[@lickumdry6016]

Most interesting maybe but depth of character while it's really good it's not the best. I mean we had Akira and Ryo from Devilman, with a few exceptions every core Monogatari series character (mainly Kaiki, Nadeko, Shinobu and Hanekawa), Natsume in Natsume Yuujinchou, Saki and Satoru in Shinsekai Yori and these are just the first that come to mind.

@@donaldtrump2728 I mean as far as being interesting I definitely agree, but depth as characters hard disagree there. This would quickly devolve into a TED talk if I got started on how Ryo is basically a deconstruction of the amoral manipulator character type and how Akira's journey after becoming part devil is symbolical of embracing vices and other social taboo's in both healthy and unhealthy ways.

I fully trust WIT with the second season, which happens to be my favorite arc in the entire story so far. The best is yet to come.

[@xpercade8926]

I feel vagabond would be the closest thing to vinland. they're both historical fictions with immense character development. Violence is both quite prevalent throughout the story though it may not be the main focus. Both are masterpieces of a story and vagabond also looks amazing.

I will always remember the time I first read the Vinland Saga Manga, as it was also the first time I didn't notice the time slip from me. I remember having started it at night around 8 to 9 pm, and when I finally caught up to it, I sat there at 7 am, becoming very tired as the adrenaline rush finally left me. I don't always put off sleep, but that day I made an exception.

[@DylanMaggs]

Hey Arkata, I just wanted to let you know, I've been watching you for 5 years now, and I always look forward to the end of the year, admittedly in part because of all of the best of year and award content, but a large part is your review week of awesome. I added 3 of the 5 shows from this week to my list to watch (soon to be 4 after I finish this comment), and had already seen Konosuba :) Letting your community have a say in what you review seems challenging from my perspective but I find it really interesting and engaging. Overall, I love your channel man, and keep up the good work.

I missed the premiere on the last day....damn. Regardless, this is by far my most anticipated review of the week. Vinland Saga is just....I can't even put into words just how amazing it is. I truly can't. I'm so grateful to my friend to suggested it to me, and it's been a decision I will never regret. The characters, their interactions, the ost(AND OMG the OST), the action, the development, everything about it is just so well done. I'm so excited for the next season. And thank you Arkada, for making this week so enjoyable and memorable for me. The little conversations I had with everyone before the premieres were great.

[@Eterrath]

Coincidences galore! I've finally started the manga for its high status 2 days ago and it drops you right into the mix. For someone totally unrelated to pre world dominant Britain, I had to watch hour long history documentaries on vikings, the Anglo-Saxon, the Germanic, the Icelandic texts, historical accuracy and more. But that's because I've been loving the characters and now I'm in love with how much originality the narrative has along with bits of reality woven into it. Thanks for the video!

man I love hearing anyone talk about this anime cause it really does deserve every bit of praise it gets and to this day I don't think it gets enough recognition we need more anime like this not just cause it is different for not being yet another cute anime set in a school but because this talks about history and history is really just the story of human beings about how no matter how much we change or where we come from we ultimately are all the same when it comes to what we want we just go about it in different ways and not even that different really when you stop to think about it

Askeladd carried, Canute and Thorkell picked up the slack at various points, and Thorfinn has a lot of potential. This story wasn't afraid of letting me have a terrible first impression of a character only to turn around and make them incredible, and I respect it immensely for that.

I recommend you watch historical movies that dont come from hollywood or try watching a historical tv series, even some of the netflix ones. Dont get me wrong man, the anime has done a god job at protraying weapons and clothing but theyve taken some creative liberties with the historical characters and the story itself is entirely fictional except for a couple events that did happen (although those too were dramatized or romanticized too an extent)

@@romanpanzertestudo7400 i mean fair though i will give any entertainment series like this a bit more benefit of the doubt. It a similar philosophy to assassins creed where if the historical text have a gap or are absent on the matter, make something interesting up. I still did learn quite a bit from Vinland Saga and i'll repeat what i said i learned on another video: "the opening attack from episode 2. This attack was carried out on a saturday when the vikings in the Danelaw were bathing (vikings were know to be quite clean bathing once a week, many suggest on saturdays) King Sweyn later says this attack is the excuse for his invasion, which would make these attacks what is known as the The St Brice’s Day Massacre The St Brice’s Day Massacre took place on 13th November 1002, A SATURDAY." now Vinland didnt go super deep into this, honestly they were almost throwaway scenes. But they were included, and they do line up with the history. and i learned from it.

I have been watching this show and it is in my top 3 shows atm as a archaeology student in Norway i do find this time fascinating and i did really love the detail in clothing they had and that they was showing that vikings wore chainmail and that they was not running into fights half naked etc which has been a huge annoying stereotype which has held on.
