Vinland Saga 1x01 Full Reaction

I have joined to Paetron due to this show. Great you started! Thanks

eyoo? it takes 24 hours to edit the ep?

"I feel like it's gonna be that kind of show that makes me cry" - Honestly, what show isn't, Lola? :P

I think you'll love this. the ending to season 1 made me bawl my eyes out lol

If you guys love Vikings, you'll for sure love this one. Leif (the old guy telliing stories) is actually a historical explorer who is thought to have been the first European to have set foot on North America, like five hundred years before Columbus. The theme of this show is amazing, and it's Wit Studios who made this first season which maybe explains why it kind of look similar to Attack on Titan. Vinland Saga is without a doubt top three Seinen manga a long with Berserk and Vagabond. So happy for you guys!

Since no one else clarified it yet, I'll give a brief explanation. The show starts in Iceland, and it's fairly accurate as far as large-scale conflicts and real-world tactics go (minus a couple of broken characters that defy physics). Vinland is supposed to be a representation of the American continent, but the show never clarifies which part of the continent they actually discover. It's based on real-world history because Leif Erikson was a real person and actually did discover North America about 600 years before Columbus. It is a very sad show, and will not satisfy the traditional story tropes you typically expect from anime because much like Mob (but in the opposite way), the themes and message of this show are much more real and vulnerable than most shows attempt to portray, and that's what makes this show hit so much harder than most. I would like to point out one specific episode for personal reasons. When you watch episode 18, by that point you will be fully on board with the story and which characters you like/dislike, so I'd ask that you watch episode 18 with as objectively neutral opinion's as possible, or in other words, being as open-minded as possible. The way the show approaches a certain topic that most find controversial/complicated helped me realize something about myself and also helped me understand the simplicity of things like hate, love, and our connection to the world. This ain't a spoiler, but this is one of my favorite aspects of the show, so I wanted to put it out there.

Ahh I'm so excited for this Reaction. I really loved the first season and the Manga is even better afterwards. Season 2 is going to be amazing as well so I'm really hyped already :)

WIT's animation style for classic anime is really recognizable. Funnily enough, you will experience a Déjà vu with season 2. WIT had to give up the anime because of financial problems. Mappa is animating the second season, with much of the animation team remaining the same. They had to leave WIT (financial problems, many employees had to leave / freelancers could not continue to be financed without making losses).

This show is definitely up there with Attack on Titan for me. The characters are so rich and the story is perfectly paced. A brilliant, deep and beautiful story. :)

I remember watching the first season of Vinland Saga back when it aired in 2019. Hard to believe it's been three years! I always love your reaction videos, but this time, watching along will also serve as a great refresher ahead of Season 2. :)

Just watched the full and god it was a bitch to synch up this time. As far as I'm aware the names that are familiar from Vikings are not related at all. It's just that they were popular names. Names like Bjorn and Ragnar were quite popular if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Harald it's the same? To be completely honest the last seasons of Vikings are kinda foggy in my mind. Since tve show switched the focus to Ragnar's children I lost a bit of interest in the show. Thorfinn is one of my favourite main characters from a show. And yeah, both the intro and the outro ate great. Can't wait to keep watching your reactions to this, I think you're going to adore this.

nice

1 of my favourite series/mangas ☺️
