Vinland Saga
| Almost dropped from my seat, unexpected, if this is going to have SnK animation and it keep loyal as much as possible with the manga, could be enough to even become a masterpiece. Now I womder how much content are they going to adapt, might be a 1 cour but a 26 episodes would be pretty sweet. |
| Such great news, I started reading this 1 or 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it! I guess I'm hyped now, it will probably take a while to be released but I just started the manga anyway so I can wait. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
moozooh said: Great news. Wit is definitely one of the best studios in the industry for this job. The subject matter also seems to fit them perfectly, considering their track record with medieval(-ish) action anime. The show is in good hands. Makes me all the more sad that alongside these recent announcements of awesome manga/novel adaptations (Vinland Saga, Golden Kamuy, Boogiepop, Grand Blue, as well as the Made in Abyss and Devilman adaptations that aired recently) we have the travesty that is Berserk 2016/2017. Sigh. Right???! Like how does one of the best mangas of all time(artistically and thematically) get adapted into such an underwhelming cgi fest?... I just dont get it |
So the author made a comment on the last page of the latest chapter..... "We're gathering only the greatest talents" Hmm...I like the way that sounds |
| I'm so excited for it, I can't help myself. I've been waiting for an anime adaptation of one of my favorite mangas for the past 5 years. |
| My body is ready... |
 |
| Isn`t there enough source material for a long run series ? |
  『 The truth has power because it’s the truth. And because it is the truth, that makes it just. It’s persuasive, isn’t it? Don’t you want truth like that? 』 |
Kuraya said: Isn`t there enough source material for a long run series ? yeah I was mistaken. The time skip happens around chapter 55 so I assumed they would be able to fit that comfortably in a 12-13 episode anime, but Vinland saga has like 30 page chapters so its gonna need multiple seasons |
| I trust this studio because they made aot too. Didn't read the manga of this but it looks badass so I'll watch it. |
| I think we will get this anime next year.This studio is already doing SNK Season 3 which will end only at the end of the year. |
 |
| lol,it will be censored most of the gore scenes,but it is alright taking in consideration that there is not so much on the manga anyway. |
| WTF? Why did I only found out about this now? |
| This manga really deserves a great anime adaptation, I hope WIT Studio can deliver. The prologue arc is fantastic and will definitely be popular, if they handle it right. The Farmland Saga part (which I think is great) will be more divisive since its completely different though but thats not a concern yet. |
| I wonder when this might air? I was on the Berserk(Manga) page and saw Vinland Saga in recommendations. Checked it out and saw the anime page. Lol preview image was enough to catch my interest, a Viking anime is a great idea! Looking forward to this, definitely going to try when it's out. Unless the average rating is awful like 5 or less, but somehow I doubt that's going to happen. |

Just a bit of warning though the anime is likely going to adapt the first 4 volumes (technically 8 but the NA release are 2 in 1 bundled hardcovers) which is basically all an action seinen and trust me its a wild ride. After that though the series becomes more of a medieval SOL/economic series now I know the story does become more of a pure adventure story later but if its just pure action you want be cautious there. The chapters I have read for Farmland which is half of Volume 5 (Volume 5 until I think Volume 8 is how long Farmland lasts I believe) are really good especially with regards to character development but just a heads up its not action all the time (though even in Farmland its not completely absent and the dramatic moments are still plenty). Plus I would argue Farmland was a good decision by the author. Still it easily has some of the best villains I have seen in anime/manga and the character development especially for the main MC is really really good especially at the part I am at. As for the anime I bet you not until late 2019 or early 2020. WIT's probably heads up in work due to AOT and I think Yukimura recently said they have started gathering together a crew. So if it is a 2 cour show which it has teased/needs to be they are going to need minimum 7-8 months to 1 year. |

Probably a good candidate tomorrow's new breakout anime IP in 2020(AOT's gonna prob need a S4 at least). I don't mind waiting, after all WIT needs to deliver this year's possible AoTY competing with S;G0. Slice of Life can be cool if they keep up the quality and do it well. I didn't watch many before but beginning to, it's certainly worth it when done well. What is "economic series" mean though? |

I don't want to spoil anything but all I meant by that is the arch is about them trying to make enough profit through farming/trading their goods. Sorry if that was confusing but no I agree SOL can be very good and so far it has been here (especially for the main MC as really the villain is the biggest focus in the Prologue arch's first 4 volumes and what the anime will cover) but I think if this first season is a break out IP some may be a little surprised what the story would turn into for a second season though obviously from the very get go this story was going to turn into more of an adventure than a pure action story as its in the title. |

| Will WIT Studio be able to pull off a proper adaptation of Vinland Saga?? I think the answer is pretty much 100% yes. North514 said: AOT may have a similar genre shift too although since S3 is said to be 2 cour it should be able to get back to the usual. What I can say without spoilers(I didn't read all the manga but got spoiled a little) is that some of the complainers called the next segment "Attack on Politics". I was worried if it was 1 cour that the entire 3rd season will be a lot different from what people are used to though I am not worried about this also meaning a decline in quality as what I know suggests it will still be great just different for a while. I am fine either way as high quality SoL is cool with me but worried if fans may turn on it and if it could lose viewers in Japan which could affect the chances of S4 getting made. Especially given that S4 would be quite a ways away as I am assuming Vinland Saga will follow sometime after AoT S3, with AoT S4 after Vinland Saga completes or goes on break.I don't want to spoil anything but all I meant by that is the arch is about them trying to make enough profit through farming/trading their goods. Sorry if that was confusing but no I agree SOL can be very good and so far it has been here (especially for the main MC as really the villain is the biggest focus in the Prologue arch's first 4 volumes and what the anime will cover) but I think if this first season is a break out IP some may be a little surprised what the story would turn into for a second season though obviously from the very get go this story was going to turn into more of an adventure than a pure action story as its in the title. Reading some comments about anime viewership ratings shows that they are very fickle. As a fan of AoT I will enjoy either scenario especially knowing great things are coming with Vinland Saga but do worry if it could lose popularity. At least we know WIT's follow up to AOT S3 is going to be legit too. TBH I am pretty sure this is going to be a breakout IP. Character designs are fantastic from what I can see, story sounds like it's going to be fantastic as well. One plus with genre shifts is it keeps thing really unpredictable and when always done well keeps things fresh. I think AotY could be a possibility given that I feel with AoT the WIT Studio is capable of AotY level plus this is a very original setting(I know of no other examples of Viking anime) and judging by comments as well as the very impressive Rank #38 on Top Manga is a very high quality original work. AotY could happen as long as it doesn't air same year as like Code Geass R3 or something else top tier like that or Steins Gate or JoJo Steel Ball Run which is the best JJBA part. I do very much wonder this: Is Vinland Saga a series where I could check out the manga first or is it one where I'd best stay away so I can experience the story fresh for the 1st time when the anime airs? As am I, waiting for anime greatness. AoT is good about not censoring stuff so should be set here. CorruptedSlime said: All those anime-only weebs will finally know the greatness of Vinland Saga I hope this one won't be censored if it's brutal[/quote]TBH I am surprised the "manga weebs" didn't enlighten us already. I suppose it's because you never know if a manga is really going to get an anime adaptation till we literally get announcement like this. Also we never know if an anime adaption could be a CGI nightmare like Berserk 2016. At least with WIT on the job we can rest easy. AOT style animation going to be perfect for a Viking anime. YouniverSoul said: I think only by what must be the worst studio/worst director. Anybody who actually knows what they're talking about will know implicitly that the traditional anime format should be used. Anyone who cares about anime will know of series that show that epic scale with giant enemies is no reason why the traditional format cannot be used and can name examples like Attack on Titan or One Punch Man that outright show it works.moozooh said: Great news.

Sigh. Right???! Like how does one of the best mangas of all time(artistically and thematically) get adapted into such an underwhelming cgi fest?... I just dont get it I can only assume that Team 2016 Berserk had absolutely no familiarity with contemporary anime hits like AOT/OPM or the original anime Kenpuu Denki Berserk. (Side note: Grand Blue looks interesting) |

I do very much wonder this: Is Vinland Saga a series where I could check out the manga first or is it one where I'd best stay away so I can experience the story fresh for the 1st time when the anime airs? Yeah I have heard AOT shifts but it still retains its action though the upcoming arch there is less of that more world building from what I have heard which I am actually excited for since most of the story in the anime focused around fighting the titans so learning about the government and the issues inside the walls would be great. (it hasn't been touched on outside of Levi's OVA backstory episode) I heard though that the second half of S3 its full on action at least from what I have heard from the tidbits from manga readers I know. (and it seems manga readers have really enjoyed the past few chapters so I am not worried on that front). Attack on Titan's transition from what I can tell from these hints and what has been portrayed in S2 was a shift more to a seinen action story from its shonen roots. Vinland's shift is more drastic and people who are there just for the action I think might be disappointed. Though I am reading a collected hardcover volume where I can binge read chapter after chapter rather than waiting a week for one chapter to be released. Similar to what I heard from AOT (with its Uprising arch) binging through the chapters gives a better experience and to some degree I can understand that if you were waiting weekly for Vinland Farmland might get a bit boring. I have been enjoying it though and need to get back to reading it. As for what to do wait for the anime or read the manga I would wait for a PV and if it looks like the visuals and sound are great it may be better to wait. A proper adaptation in my opinion with good sound (if they can get some traditional nordic music in even better) and good VA plus if they can animate those action scenes right and I think it will be a massive contender for AOTY. Though the manga has some really highly detailed art and I wonder if they will censor anything Vinland had a decent amount of gore (eyeballs on arrows, people being caught in half etc). |

| this has 'shoddy cgi' written all over it. hype killer |
UglyBarnacle said: cewkie said: i wonder how far they will adapt though i hope they can do the farmland saga arc ^_^ It would be really cool to see the farmland arc animated, but I wouldn't want them to dare get into the it if it means cutting things short, especially if this adaptation ends up only getting one cour (though of course I'm hoping the anime adaptation will be successful enough to continue past just one season... the story for me really started picking up once the political intrigue became more predominant, which we most definitely won't see in the first season, unless they hyper-bumrush the damn thing). |
| I’m looking forward to this! Wit Studio have proven themselves with plenty of works, so I have full faith in them to make this a definite hit! 2-cours, please! Seeing how Karakuri Circus just received 3 cours, it should be no surprise to see this being 2 cour at least so I hope it works out that way! I just hope that Tetsurou Araki and Sawano Hiroyuki are a part of this project too, it’ll be amazing! Some viking-like music backed up with some brilliant directing will make this a brilliant show! |

| Is it good?Everyone seems to be hyped asf lol. |
Great news! I hope they take their time now and air this during the Fall ‘19 Season. They seem to have quite a few projects along with this, after all. |

#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni |
| I hope we ll get two cours, so they can adapt the entire prologue. |
| Boi am i late...i guess i am Pretty excited for this one, it will adapt the imo weakest part of the manga, yea it had great fight but the Characters are way more complex after the infamous farm arc (i actually think the farm arc is one of the best ones but ok..). Overall it's one of the best Viking storys to date, even tho it doesn't follow the real Thorfinns story it's still amazing. |

| Cant believe this is finally getting an anime. Ive been putting off the manga for years. |
| At last, Vikings will be pictured on something else besides "Chiisana Viking Vickie". That's neat. I wouldn't exactly brand "Attack on Titan" and "The Bride of Ancient Magus" as crown achievements, but Wit at least knows how to frame dynamic action scenes. From the glimpses I got of the trailer, I can tell how visually riveting the cinematography is, as well. Let's hope this adaptation will do great justice to source. Would be a saddening waste of potential if it were to be botched because of storyboards straying away too much from the manga. There is nothing worse than a production tempered with to the point of disfigurement (that is what happened to Samurai Deeper Kyo, for those who remember this anime). I cross fingers for them not be tryhard looking to please to everyone and their puppy. |
