Vinland Saga
| it actually is anticlimactic. One could say it was following real life events and one could say it wasn't, but it is besides the point.Ait depends on what the audience was expecting from it. It's also an open ending as someone above stated. None of these mean "bad" to me, so it depends on the viewer. |

| For me, I think it was the right decision to end it like that. Thorfin's goal was to create a world without war. The goal seemed impossible, so he reduced it to creating a kingdom where people can live in peace and prosperity without any war. But it’s a universal truth that even peace can't be brought without war, and Thorfin also realizes that after the massacre that happend in Vinland. Now, there's nothing left for Thorfin to do. But he still doesn’t want to give up hope. So the story ended in way that it felt like there's still more remaining to it. It tried to portrayed how the mission that Thorfin tried to pull off is still being passed on. Humans still are looking for peace. While there's no solution to this problem, humans are still keeping, looking for the unknown. Still I didn’t give it a 10. I still think something could be done better, although I can't remember the idea emerged that time since I read it a while ago. |

| @MeVike this. I just never thought that last arc would be the end of the series. It’s pretty sad he failed to make a home in Vinland and how Einar ended up, but you can say it’s realistic since things don’t always go the way you want. To me it felt more like a sad ending than a happy one. I imagined he would recuperate, learn from his mistakes in Vinland, and finally make a place where there’s no violence. Because they made it an open ending right after his failure in Vinland, it came off as anticlimactic. I wouldn’t say it was a bad ending though, since it fits the historical plot of the story, but it still felt anticlimactic. |

It's not sad nor it is a happy ending one. it's an open ending and a not conclusive one, but so are many things in real life. That's just how things go sometimes. I personally do enjoy closure, but Vinland did something that almost no other story does, and I really appreciate that in a story. Things not working out is an almost nonexistent trope and any story, and I feel like it needs more representation. |
