You've mentioned in previous interviews that you dislike violence. The title of the series is Vinland Saga. In the beginning, Leif Ericson describes Vinland as a new world without war or slavery. What would you like to tell readers deeply interested in just the violence within the manga?

YUKIMURA: If you're into my story for the violent aspect of it, at some point, I might not be able to meet your expectations. If you really want to read about things like violence, you should consider Attack on Titan. I actually do hear comments from the fans saying that they like Thorfinn from back in the day. 'What happened to him? He's only farming!' I hear their complaints, though, at the same time, I cannot help it. Sorry.

more here https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2023-08-11/vinland-saga-makoto-yukimura-shares-opinion-on-violence-consider-attack-on-titan/.200853

looks like the ending will be peaceful after all with how he recommends Attack on Titan instead if fans want more violence

I think it’s a genuine suggestion, aot is consistently quite violent and has battle scenes, I think he’s just recommending that if people are looking for THAT, they shouldn’t look for it in Vinland saga, at least past s1

It makes sense. Attack no Titan is pessismistic due to the cyclical nature of violence leading to its controversial ending. Violence is not so much glorified as it is seemingly inescapable, whereas in Vinland Saga a violent lifestlye is something that can be risen above, at least for the individual, and from that greater peace can be achived on a wider scale.

It is obviously not a jab. Mangaka tend to be very respectful of one another's works whilst humble about their own, even if the work environment is highly competitive.

Vinland Saga is anything but realistic and both are thematically and structurally very similar except one is more nihilistic whilst the other idealistic.

Writing: Vinland Saga (Anyone who knows even a sh*t about writing would agree with me.)

Consistency: Vinland Saga

Story: Vinland saga

Plot: Aot (Because Vinland is a character-driven show)

Plot twist: Aot

Action (quantity): Aot

Action (quality): Vinland saga (AoT has more action, but Vinland has better action in terms of quality because it has less plot armor.)

Animation: Both

Ost/music: Aot

Foreshadowing: Aot

Depth: Vinland saga ( I guess Aot is more deep for teenagers.)

Protagonist: Vinland Saga (If you think Eren is better, then go scream Tatkaye over some virgin.)

Antagonist: Vinland saga

Better Arcs: Vinland Saga (The farming arc objectively negs the best arc of Aot.)

Philosophy: Vinland Saga

Themes: Vinland Saga (Now let me explain this one in detail: Aot has nihilistic themes while Vinland has idealistic ones. I myself like Nihilistic themes more, but that doesn't make Aot thematically better than Vinland. Vinland managed to execute its themes properly, while on the other hand, AoT is thematically not even 10% of the other well-executed nihilistic shows and manga like Monster, Evangelion, and Oyasumi Punpun. (In short, better themes don't make a show thematically better; it depends on how they execute them.)

Peaks: Debatable

Impact: Subjective

Enjoyability: Subjective

World Building: Vinland Saga

Character writing: Vinland saga

Character development: Vinland saga

Female cast: Vinland saga (Aot has a bigger female cast, but Vinland has more well-written female characters).

Ending: Vinland doesn't have one yet, but of course it wouldn't be as bad as Aot.

In conclusion, Both are good shows, but Aot is quite overrated and Vinland is overall better.

Both are great, have their own strengths and weaknesses, if one would take a deep honest look at each of them.

Insulting other fandoms is motivated more by ego rather than a love or appreciation towards the represented fandom.

can you explain how are they milking it? Are they adding filler contents? Are they adding unnecessary OVA's or ONA's? Are they doing BoT:next generation? They're simply taking their time to give us the experience that AoT can give. Jesus people can't seem to give animators peace of mind.

Both are Overrated but AoT is the worst piece of literature ever written

I'm not surprised that a Hack writer is recommending it

And with that simple answer, he solved the problem. If it's violence that you like, then this show isn't for you and there are plenty of violent shows like Aot that have what you want. Go watch that instead. The end.

Thorfinn is basically Eren if he used his brain and logical thinking to solve the problem of titans instead of genocide

*Eren and thorfinn are quite similar*

Both were Suffering and watching their loved once die

It's just that thorfinn acknowledges all the problems and solves them with little to no violence

In case of eren he is simply too blinded by the love of friends and other people and and believes the future can not be changed

In my pov i think eren resembles an average person if an average person is put in the same environment he'll most likely do the same , I think it's realistic

But again people justify what he did and don't get the actual message that makes me a bit sad

In the end I'll say both of them are excellent anime and manga , Don't justify what eren did take a lesson from it , I bet you can't look at someone who has committed genocide irl and justify it
