Yupp what we've all been waiting and hoping for is finally coming and it's being done by a fairly competent studio as well.
WIT studios worked on Attack on Titan and most recently "The Ancient Magus' Bride"

I predict that they will animate it up to the point of the time skip which could easily fit into a 12-13 episode season if they adapt 4 chapters per episode.

Whats exciting about that is how good the first part of the story is...imo everything pre-timeskip was more intense and battle orientated.

I wonder how far they're adapting, hopefully till the timeskip would be good depending on its length. I wouldnt mind a full adaptation either, but that seems less than likely.

Depending on how it does it will probably get AOT treatment but yeah so far looks like two cours for prologue arc/8 volumes.

Yeah. Animation quality is definitely not a concern for Wit Studio. They have proven with AoT, Kabenari, and Magus Bride that they know what they are doing when it comes to visuals. Though what really solidified my confidence in them is actually this season's After the Rain.

well, to be fair, you cant never be sure of how things are gonna turn, but cant simply see how a Vinland saga adaptation could go wrong considering it´s WIT. If Sawano and Araki are add to the staff, it will have great chances of being one of the most important anime this decade.

Expected this to happen someday, it's one of those mangas well deserving an anime adaptation. I'm trusting Wit Studio on this one, they've made great work with AoT in the past (I would also mention Ancient Magus Bride, but I still need to finish that one). I guess it's going to cover the "Prologue" part, Farmland Saga is probably reserved for a 2nd season if it's doing well - and a 3rd season if the manga gets enough material for that.

They definitely need to make this into a 2 cour, otherwise it would be a mess.

I have full confidence that Wit Studio will be comitted to make this great though.

I really hope this goes well they have done a great job with most anime they have been given. I just got into Vinland Saga and I was just thinking it would be awesome to see WIT adapt this just a few days ago. Never thought it ever would get an anime adaptation. Just please please...... don't let this manga of all manga be a major screwup but at the same time I can't really say if there is a studio out there that could be more trusted with this IP.

One of my all time favorite manga being adapted by a competent studio like WIT? Oh hell yeah!

Don't see them adapting the Farmland Saga though!

it's been 13 years since this series began serializing in 2005, it's been bound to happen some time, and here it is!
I've been reading this for the past month and I'm now at chapter 101.
now adapting 4 chapters into one episode is too unrealistic because this manga is released monthly, so the chapters are longer than weekly released manga.
I think that an episode can take 2-2.5-3 chapters and it would be crammed, I remember the first chapter of the series was 90 pages alone so that's almost 3 chapters.
I'm glad it is WIT Studio because they are quite good at what they do, unlike other studios whose quality or budget is just not good enough and always have to have junky animation in alot of scenes especially when the characters are standing far away, or the characters just don't seem to fit in with the background.
But WIT Studio has none of these issues and maintains high quality animation so there's nothing to worry about.
It Would be nice to have Tetsuro Araki working on this , but we still don't know so...
The biggest thing I think is challenging is picking the right voice actors whose voices actually fits the characters perfectly.
So,we'll see what'll happen I guess.

also, wit is animating this, you guys don't have to worry about overused cgi, i was scared if this were to get an anime adaptation polygon pictures or someone would be animating it.

I am somewhat afraid of this as well.

Regardless I didn't think that we would see the anime for Vinland Saga but here it is. I hope that they animate it till the end of the "PROLOGUE".

What comes after is well not for me to judge as I aren't catch up with the series but as long as they animate the entire prologue in good faith to the source material this will be absolute greatness.

I hope so too. The prologue has lots of great, exciting action that I'm sure a lot of people will love, but the farming arc is what really brought the story to greatness because of the way it reshapes the protagonist's entire mindset and forces him to confront all his past actions of the 1st arc.

your right I forgot all about the chapter length.... it could get really messy trying to cram 54 30+ page chapters in 1 cor...hopefully its a 2 cor

Until word about the director comes this is scary i am happy as it gotta get a wide appeal that it deserves and the studio who did attack on titan but this is like the oppsite of mainstream kinda surprised i love this manga i collected all 9 hardcovers but seeing the detail of the art, how subtle the manga is, topic matter and how beloved this series is basically how vagabond and berserk fans feel. I'm excited for the new fans i doubt they capture the spirit of the manga its almost impossible for a manga that seems unadaptable. I scared about how much censor it going to be remember how tame Teraformers is but it had terrible cenesor but this manga is pretty hardcore. Anyways i can't say i too excited i love the prospect of new fans joining the series, because the manga been threatened to be cancelled the publisher so much times hopefully this changes the publisher mind.

I'm Happy, scared and worried.

Why would it be full CGI, Wit Studio has never done a full CGI show before.


this is due to the style of the manga the immense detail is almost impossible to replicate in 2D unless the production is that amazing they probably do a hybrid. But be alot more CGI in this show than attack on titan most likely.

Wit Studio is quite good at adapting, but choosing what to adapt is the question. Just started Vinland Saga a week ago huh, I guess I'll catch up to it.
