Hell yeahhhh!!!

The episode that dropped yesterday was godly, like all the others. Cannot WAIT to hear your thoughts on the saga.

[@hon3stly_z615]

You won’t be disappointed!!

[@kamuyking551]

I hope you enjoy it! I will say... my one recommendation is that you watch the OP and ED that goes with each episode, every time. in season 2 especially, I think they're just so well suited that it robs the show of some of its message when you don't have them there as a sort of story refrain. depending on the changing context, they'll hit you a little different every time.

[@hey7492]

oh you're in for a ride!!!! Vinland Saga is my favorite anime ever. Though Chainsaw man is okay, I wouldn't ever recommend it over vinland saga lol

[@sneezybrake1112]

Vinland saga is actual peak

[@wickedslushy2015]

I wouldn’t say peak as in the best ever but it’s up there for sure. The music is also always good. For me Vinland Saga might be my top 5 anime and I haven’t read the manga but compared to other stories I’ve read manga only Vinland saga might be top 10-15.

Peakland* Saga

[@emmamiller3993]

Vinland Saga over Chainsaw Man all the way. I've seen both, both are great, but Vinland Saga evokes so much more emotion and follows such a captivating story, plus visually and auditorily there is so much care put into it. But of course, they’re totally different anime with totally different audiences, both of extremely high quality just in different ways. I just personally find Vinland Saga to be better

[@vinsmok7gx]

Vinland saga is peak bru what are you talking about

[@cameronmar1130]

Manga wise they are both phenomenal. Like Vinland Saga, CSM gets deeper and more philosophical the further you progress in the story

[@emmamiller3993]

@@vinsmok7gx That’s exactly what I’m saying lol

@Riyaz Jihan I think they both have perks but yeah Vinland Saga just goes above and beyond. Different audiences I guess

Vinland saga is a masterpiece

[@inspektical2393]

FYI if you watch this (you should, it's one of the best in the medium) don't search up character names on google, most were real people, including the MC and you can be spoiled about stuff regarding what's only now being touched upon in the manga in relation to his historical relevance.

[@nero7469]

Yeah, this show is historical fiction

[@BenBenReacts]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm starting it today :)

[@hairylegs1319]

​@@BenBenReacts bro is starting peak

[@malkuusha]

Well, it’s not quite the case. The VS story is still different from a real historical events. In reality Thorfinn never was a viking, he was just a merchant, farmer and sailor. He never participated in any wars, he had nothing to do with danish king, jomsvikings etc. And real life Thorfinn should be 10 years dead already, but in the manga he is still alive. So I don’t think that googling Thorfinn will spoil you anything besides him reaching Vinland and having a wife named Gudrid. The same goes with Canute

[@xboomx2468]

Vinland saga is one of the only animes I consider a masterpiece the story is so goddamn good. The writing is next level 🔥

[@ookami5329]

I literally just finished season 2 a minute ago. Vinland is such a masterpiece. It's one of the few pieces of fiction that I can say "changed me". Not in any dramatic sense, but it's something that will stay with me for sure. I can't wait for season 3 and beyond.

[@voidcheque7019]

Its so good man. Ive never sat down and watched an anime on my own before and im 27 years old. I started in the morning one day, and i literally binged the entire first season in one day and felt so many emotions lol.

[@BenBenReacts]

That’s amazing! I’m also 27 and I did the exact same thing practically 😅

[@OleBrr]

It's difficult to describe how good this series is. The manga art is breathtaking, and the adaptation is very faitful to the manga. It's one of the only anime I can recommend to friends who haven't watched an anime before, and they'll absolutely love it just like any other show. Will be here if you choose to watch it

[@Skyl3t0n]

Btw, there are no Villains in Vinland Saga. Only people with different interests.

[@Assassin21BEKA]

17:50 its the royal looking person with long white hair, in op 3 he had scar on the face you mentioned.

[@ianosburn9562]

This show is amazing you should definitely watch

[@Craken1500000xx]

This show is a top tier written show, but it is also kiind of tricky. While is very emotional with incredible characters, it is also a slow anime. The payoffs of character development are one of the best I've seen in anime, but again it is an anime that demands a bit of patience to watch.

[@PentragonCosplay]

7:15 love how confused Askeladd and his relation to Thorfinn makes you but it’s very understandable. Also thumbs up for recognizing that the „guy with the long hair“ is actually a guy. Many take him for a girl when they see the openings.

[@giacomopassarini2658]

you should DEFENITELY watch Vinland Saga if you like deep and well developed series, i think (like 95% of the anime community) that Vinland Saga is just a masterpiece that represent perfectly the 1000d.c. with the vikings age. But after that u have to watch Chainsaw Man too

[@MrM9819]

There’s no anime that is 60 fbs. If it says 60 fbs in the titles then the original video has been tampered with, and you shouldn’t click on it.

[@suzuxiiiahdv]

I think that's what he means

[@Phals]

oh no he thinks 60 fps anime looks good

[@doodoo5594]

2:07 when i first watched vinland saga i literally started the first episode and had to pause and download the opening, it just captivates you immediately

[@tr3y791]

3 op that song sounded like Divide music was singing

[@VerchielxKanda]

It's just two seasons now, because season 2 finally came out. The series has a LOT of detail, so animators from WIT(who moved to MAPPA to do season 2, because of funding), worked their ass off. This series is VERY historically accurate. Right down to the names of the people who lived. Season 1 is just the prologue. The second season takes a shift in tone and is more focused on character development.

[@montywh]

the hero and villain aspects swap around each half of the season. basic premise is Thorfinn (our first MC) is on a quest for revenge against a Viking captain named Askeladd (who becomes our 2nd MC). Askeladd has his own history and motives that make viewers connect with him

[@xxdarkdustxx5015]

I searched for the song you put over op 3 and 4 via lyrics... It took way too long but I finally found it and put it on my spotify 😂

[@Abundant-Taxi65]

The third and forth openings in this video are completely different to the songs that are in the actual show

[@Assassin21BEKA]

15:21 if you want to hear more of LMYK you can check ending 1 of Case study of Vanitas, amazing song as well

[@Assassin21BEKA]

19:00 its main character. Season 2 and this arc of the manga is often called Farmland saga by fans.

[@alperenayman620]

Vinland Saga is MASTERPIECE... you should definitely add it in your list!

[@treyrezach3609]

Idk what others would say but personally I like this way more then chainsaw man

Great reactions and analysis. Thanks!

[@ShelbyJamesYTShow]

Vinland Saga is a masterpiece beyond compare.

[@MrGameControler]

I believe the respect for Vinland Saga will only keep growing in the next years. I'm not sure I'd put it in any GOAT debates but certainly right up there with the very best anime tv shows.

[@animelover4414]

What was the name of the song u used for copyright reasons?

[@Udot2]

love the video

[@gaalanonim4503]

Actually at the moment you'd only have to watch 41 episodes to catch up, since the 2nd season is still ongoing. Manga it's based on is also ongoing, although in it's last arc (last big stretch of the story). Currently we have enough material for another 24-episodes season, which I hope happens ^^ VS in general is a story of war, showing how bad war is; of revenge, showing how bad revenge is, of slavery - showing how it is to be a slave and freedom and self-discovery. Some philosophy there too. I think it's more or less up anyone's alley.

[@BenBenReacts]

I may or may not try to binge this show this week...

[@themetronomian7239]

PEAKLAND!

[@amanbellete8055]

definitely start vinland saga before chainsaw man. as someone whos caught up on the manga vinland saga is without a doubt close to perfection when it comes to storytelling and character building

[@fanto860]

Vinland is definitely better than chainsawman, it's one of the best animes ever

[@noneofyourbusiness3288]

I would recommend that while watching it, reading up on the history of the day, because it is shockingly accurate.

[@Zzakaria-dot]

you should check Ousama ranking op and ed

Vinland saga > Chainsaw man

Real

[@QualityKiller]

vinland saga plot is definietly better

[@ianosburn9562]

100%

[@cameronmar1130]

They both excel in their own aspects of the themes they portray. I’m a big time manga fan, with Berserk obviously being number 1 and Vinland being number 2, but honestly I’d probably put CSM at 3 or at the very least top 5 mangas for me. Personally I just love all of the works of Tatsuki Fujimoto

[@gsorestes9933]

easily

[@Sonusmfx]

Chainsaw main is really really good, but Vinland saga is one of the few animes I’d suggest over it. It might even be my favorite anime in general, highly recommend you react to it

[@justthebest2531]

Yeah chainsaw man now is not better than vinland

[@Astroboy29]

the first 2 seasons pretty much cover half of the manga which is currently in its 4th and final arc so the entire show will probably be under 100 episodes

[@ahmadalbab8081]

Whats the song used to avoid copyright?

[@GUevanescence]

I want to know too!!!! 11:36 what's the avoid copyright song's name? please tell me >

[@Killerqueen2000]

There are no villains in Vinland Saga. there are people.

[@NeverOhVer]

Been a year, and it’s likely this information was already picked up on, but by the year 1000 a ton of Vikings had converted to Christianity.

[@nero7469]

What song did he use for opening 3?

[@shimasanjiko4241]

i think something from divide music (maybe his thorfinn song??)

[@BenBenReacts]

Yeah it's "To the End" by Divide Music

[@windbrush]

There's an unfortunate amount of CSM slander in these comments. Both series are masterpieces, and both series are completely different. It would be hard for me to say that one is better than the other because of those differences. I'm also gonna go out on a limb and guess that many people in the comments have only watched the 12 episodes of the CSM anime and haven't touched the manga.

[@Sufi-122]

Vinland Saga has the best opening songs as well as the ending songs. I love them all and your reaction is amazing too. I was wondering if you could watch the opening of The Seven Deadly Sins and Fire Force as well. It's so beautiful and I think you'll love it..؟!

[@Toucanbird]

Vinland Saga is an incredible anime. Let me just say this, I’m NOT into Viking history or lore and wasn’t going to watch it because of that…decided to watch it anyway just as a change of pace…turns out…it’s probably my favorite anime made in the last 5 years…the character development and world building of this show is masterfully executed… And one thing that I found amazing is Thorfinn (MC…blond boy) actually goes from one of the least interesting characters in the show in Season 1 to by far and away the most interesting character in Season 2. It’s really one of those shows where it’s hard for me to pinpoint any flaws with it. Everything about it is great…perhaps if there is a flaw, it’s that they (Japanese dub) don’t really do a good job of showing the language barriers between the English, Welsh, Danish and French (primarily a season 1 problem since season 2 primarily takes place in Denmark). Essentially, all the characters are speaking Japanese, but there are Danish trying to communicate with French and Welsh and are supposed to have a hard time “communicating,” but since both sides are speaking Japanese, you lose that immersion a bit. However, that is a really small nitpick of the show. Everything else about it is downright phenomenal.

[@BenBenReacts]

I can totally see all that! I’m already 6 episodes in and it’s probably my favorite I’ve watched so far 🙂

[@akasa8jp]

Vinland Saga is undoubtedly one of the best Japanese anime ever! It's not at all inferior to Attack on Titan. Of course, each has different pros and cons. Personally, Vinland Saga is more than an anime, it's one epic life story. Life isn't always exciting and dramatic. There will always be happy times, difficult times, stagnant and quiet times, exciting times, different times. But all those times are what you need, and that's life. How beautiful and emotional story….. Also, people who prefer simple stories and flashy action may not like it.

[@のりまき-y3t]

The story is many times more interesting in the Vinland Saga than in Chainsaw Man. Many of the characters in the Vinland Saga are real people, including the protagonist. The story is quite faithful to historical facts.

[@the_Nameless_One99]

Why are both the openings of season 2 in your video different than the ones I see in the actual episodes? The visuals are the same, but the songs are totally different!

[@tribalmuffin0942]

He said he had to adjust the audio for copyrights. If you listen real closely you can hear the originals

[@kanashii9472]

i was waitin' for the third openin' to play and then divide music started playin' wtf 😭thought my spotify was on for a sec

[@BenBenReacts]

That 3rd song was sooo good! I was sad I had to play over it 😕

[@MESHA.]

I’d say watch chainsaw man first since it’s a quicker and shorter series at the moment so you can really focus on it and then enjoy Vinland saga on its own

[@fubuki5hiro764]

Watch it please. It's soo good. The first season scarred me so bad I don't think I'm gonna rewatch it. I'm just gonna continue with the new seasons 😂

[@helenshard80]

Will the Vinland Saga reaction be on KZbin??

[@allakatter931]

Cool insight! I appriciate you giving your thoughts and ideas on the things you watch. And yeah, there is a reason why its nicknamed "Peakland saga" :D

[@EnzoPietro10]

its... its never 60FPS. Doing 60 FPS will require at least a whole animators blood and body as sacrifice for a single second of that shat.

[@sandriebobo2k]

Vinland saga!!!!!!!!!😁

[@_Eric._]

If you're interested in anime set in historical periods. I'd like to recommend Golden Kamuy. Except it has comedy in it It's set in the early 1900s right after the russo japanese war

[@insanecamel986]

i mean, for views, definitely react to Chainsaw Man first. Vinland Saga is really more like a treat to yourself and your soul and your emotions and your feels 😅, really the 2nd season solidified it as my top 5 anime ever.

[@dubsonly]

[@IonizedComa]

Vinland saga is the only anime of the big 3 of seinen manga that got a great adaptation

[@Kuroko_Simp]

Can you react to the openings of a certain magical index Railgun and Accelerator?

[@originalfeneac]

They're amazing!! Love the show, and I choose Vinland over Chainsawn at anytime. You mentioned that one of the endings might be the best you ever saw, but have you ever seen the openings and endings of March Comes in like a lion (Sangatsu no Lion), and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhoood? I think these three make my top 3 when talking about openings and endings

[@gavinchamploo]

I love chainsaw man but Vinland saga is something very special. Top tier

[@LeoAlvarezC]

Vinland saga it's another level

[@cupidthefallen6968]

Vinland Saga has a manga, and it is one of the best manga this world ever seen. I been reading manga since 5yo, since the western audience dont really like or read much manga, let me say this... If you never read a manga, Vindland Saga prolly not a good start since it set the standard way too high in term of art and story(it is seinen - manga for adults). You might want to read something more mainstream and shounen first like Naruto? But if you are an adult and ready for some brutal and painful tear along the read then Vinland Saga is something you dont wanna miss.

[@thepowerofsand6180]

The GOAT show

[@ookami5329]

Am I the only one who likes the second op more than the first haha. I think it might be something like: 3rd 2nd 1st 4th for the endings the 3rd takes first place easily, with the rest being more or less the same for me.

[@mammothVT]

For me, the endings are some of the best in all of anime

[@sakanamichan3714]

Both Chainsawman and Vinland Saga are shows where, if you stick with them, the character development and payoff is great. But…Chainsawman, while great, hasn’t animated the best parts yet. I could see putting it off until they’re a bit further in. (I confess, I immediately went to the manga for Chainsawman after watching the anime, mostly to dodge getting spoiled.)

[@cameronmar1130]

It’s honestly hard to tell which would be better to watch first, Vinland Saga is top 3 Seinen manga (the others being Berserk and Vagabond and referred to as the “Big 3 of Seinen” or “The Seinen Trinity”) and CSM is top 3 Shonen manga (the others being JJK and Hell’s paradise and referred to as the Dark Triad of Shonen)

[@bellion9143]

CSM, JJK, and hells paradise are not top 3 shounen, they're just top 3 shounen among the NEWER mangas

[@cameronmar1130]

@@bellion9143 IDC what anybody says, the Dark Triad is the best Shonen has to offer, and that’s mainly because their stories and themes are very similar to a lot of Seinen I prefer. IMO Shonen is pretty much all childish and subpar stories and writing for my taste, the Dark Triad is the only exception (expect AoT which originally published in ShonenJump which technically makes it Shonen)

I think why people prefer vinland saga over chainsaw man is because they only watch the anime. I love vinland saga more but dont take out csm out of the game if you didn't read the manga yet. They both phenomenal at their own but i slightly prefer vinland saga more because of the mature theme
