Vinland Saga - S1E1 - Uncut Early Access Reaction

OUR NEW ADVENTURE STARTS HERE. 

Welcome to new members of the community, very happy to have you here. And for the army, the team, the tribe! I think you've nailed it with this suggestion


Comments

This is the greatest show I’ve ever seen.

Tyler Owens

This is my first watch of this show, really enjoyed the first ep. it's been hard for me to watch anything after AOT but i liked this. ready to see where it goes

Chandler Smith

I very much enjoy you saying it's your cup of tea, when you immediately understood the point of the story being told. You hit the nail on the head with extremely minimal context. Vikings are fucking cool, they are also brutal and flawed. Especially when in relation to slavery, land, and power struggles.

Fenix

Tripping. FMAB is fire

William Dorion

It's funny what you say about vikings not being cool, given what the message this show tries to convey is haha

Elliott Tomkings

While this anime has fiction there are also real life historic moments and characters. It's history in anime form so you can also learn some things from this show.

Patrik Žauhar

The antagonist in this season is one of the best written in all of anime, heads up for you Jon if you will see this comment.

Patrik Žauhar

Are u gonna do another show alongside Vinland saga?

Jaeboleann

Back 2 back fireeee anime choices. peakkkk

DW

The farmland arc is peak cant wait until Jon gets to Season 2

Patrik Žauhar

I have seen the Tokyo Ghoul anime and only the first season was good, season 2 was meh and season 3 was absolutely trash. Might have to check out the manga then.

Patrik Žauhar

Crazy thing is, it’s just a prologue, it even works as a stand alone story, but this genius set up for the next story arcs is incredible

Christian Golub

The anime added some filler with thorfinn as a kid, yet it’s well done filler, it definitely slows down the pace. Luckily those are just 2-3 episodes, and then it’s about to get heavy

Christian Golub

If you won’t like it till half way, the show won’t be for you. But if you enjoy it, it could become the best story you ever witnessed

Christian Golub

That’s why people need to start reading the manga. The first season is just the tip of the iceberg. Denji is just a 16 yo MC, very relatable and realistic character for that age, no save the world shit like in Naruto, he is not the chosen one, he is just a regular young boy in puberty, which makes his growth in the next arc (which will be covered in a movie) the better. Chainsaw Man is a one of a kind story, I can definitely tell you that

Christian Golub

This is so gonna be your cup of tea

Christian Golub

I think the sheer realism of the characters, especially the antagonist, will make you love this story

Christian Golub

You’re about the witness greatness, a story and message conveyed like never before

Christian Golub

I disagree, it is very possible for him to even enjoy it more than AOT, yet AOT was his first big genius thing to watch, it may depend on what you watch first

Christian Golub

Facts, well actually not facts, both are fucking amazing and so close to each other..yet I prefer Vinland Saga

Christian Golub

So happy about this choice!

Kehmind

The big 3 obv (vinland, vagabond and berserk), the climber, 20th century boys and pretty much anything by the goat naoki urasawa

Christian Golub

I‘m glad he didn’t chose FMAB

nicolas

Episode 4 is what absolutely hooked me to the show😆

Cillian Doherty

Erased is very good, only about 13 episodes too so you can binge it

Jehlani

yeah this is what i'm here for

Eamonn

Can't lie, I was a bit disappointed that you didn't choose Fullmetal Alchemist, but I haven't watched this show so it'll be fun watching it alongside you. Looking forward to it! Also, please watch fullmetal alchemist brotherhood after this one ;)

Petter Virtanen

I recommned reading Berserk, Vagabond, Monster and also Tokyo Ghoul and also One Punch Man is technically seinen.

James

I forgot how fucking incredible the music is in this show.

James

Anybody know some other good seinens?

Patrik Žauhar

S;G is goated and the writing is beautiful.

Joe Brown

Yeah Denji is just a horny fucker for the majority of the season lmao

Patrik Žauhar

You have no idea what you missed out on bro

Patrik Žauhar

AoT started out as a shonen but even in its early days i never thought it was one, but yeah as it went on it definitely became a full fledged seinen.

Patrik Žauhar

Thanks for pointing that out, AOT was very mature for being a Shonen. Although AOT is my favorite all time I prefer Seinen in general

PO

You will see almost zero silliness in this show because its a seinen. Seinen mangas are targeted towards adults meaning they are a lot more darker and mature than other genres of manga.

Patrik Žauhar

please watch steins gate or death note at some point that would be insane

Sammy

it really does not deal with more serious themes, i love chainsaw man so much but the mc literally spends the first half of season one going after boobs lmfao

Elijah Slocombe

I read the manga, this show is better than AOT

Aiscrim

It might not be another AOT, but Vinland is extremely enjoyable

PO

Before this becomes a whole thing, his name is pronounced Lay-f Ericson.

Jabin (Aelic)

Feel free to mention AOT in your reviews and reactions by the way, since its your only real experience with the medium. Anime has a lot of tropes and storytelling devices that are commonly used in most shows, and its interesting to see how each show executes them differently and using different styles

Mike Donohue

loving the animation already. saw it was WIT studio in the intro, fire. looked it up to make sure and apparently s2 is MAPPA. feels familiar ;)

ryanemmerson

lets go

Conzinho

I honestly don’t think so. It’s very good but AOT is genuinely more creative/directed etc. I honestly wouldn’t compare it because of potential let down

Paper

deals with a lot more serious themes than jjk, plus i feel like he’d enjoy the visuals and the direction of the anime

Aadi Ravichandran

Chainsaw man is a bit silly for the thing that he likes.

Paper

hes acc going to love this show lmao, i acc think he might put it level with aot when its all said and done

Elijah Slocombe

Excited to rewatch through this after watching season 2 recently, can’t wait for my country’s intro🤑

Joab Taylor

I watched this season 3 years ago when no one was really talking about it at the time so I kind of forgot about it but after checking out season 2 that aired last year I realized how much of a masterpiece it all was! So pumped to go through it again

Matthew Valentine

it would be cool to see vinland saga + chainsaw man in the schedule, chainsaw man is pretty short anyways (12 episodes) so it would work out

Aadi Ravichandran

This is a great show, very grounded and very introspective. Lots to analyze. If you're looking for another really great, plot-centric, not silly anime I would recommend the 90s Berserk series as one of the all time best. Only like 25 episodes too!

Ethan Ross

Oh I’m jacked about this one!

John

Great start to the story and Yutaka Yamada is the composer of the music?! The man is an absolute legend. It's looking really promising.

Conix

A New Journey Has Begun,

Suave Player

Last time I tried to watch Vinland I bounced off around epsiode 4. I'll try to stick with it this time

hman70

If you’re already into the show then get ready because it’s one hell of a journey…

Cillian Doherty

lets gooo

moti

In my opinion, Season 1 drags a bit for me, I think it gets a little bit too silly in points and I kind of hit a point of like "okay c'mon please continue with the actual story". The first few episodes are great, the last few are great and there are definitely some good ones in the middle, but yeah that's my opinion. HOWEVER, Season 2 is fucking incredible, actually insanely amazing and I think you might feel similarly so just wanted to let you know to definitely be aware that it does all build for *something*

Leon

So glad ur watching this show. It’s so beautiful, the music and the visuals. Enjoy.

Nicolas Guevara

The new journey begins !

stevetar

Season 1 in itself is the epitome of a perfect story. Start to finish.

Cully Colantino

I mean in a way we are the offspring of survivors and warriors, the ones who lived. It's in our veins. Our ancestors have 100% killed others and it led to them surviving. So yeah it makes sense that we in a weird way admire warriors.

Sam

Fuck yeah

Matthew Earl

Let’s goooo

Yuji Glazer

Let’s go love this JD

Dylan Turner

Let's go! Much love man.

Sam

Your going to love this

Michael

and the journey begins!
