I was wondering if there has been any word about an anime adaptation. |

I hope not, its to awesome to be made into a anime, also not enough manga, they would just fuck it up maybe 10 years from now when its over. Also this kind of story's just don't get ratings in japan anymore, if its note cute or with sexy girls in it, no chance at all. |

Heh, I knew the first reply would be "I hope not" without ever opening the topic. Anyway, I hope so - but only late into the manga's story when it's close to being over. |

OR maybe they could break it into story arcs or seasons. Like a seperate season for the whole of prologue, and wait till the next arc finishes before working on that adaption. But the important part is to put the project in good hands. There are too many screwed upadaptions of excellent mangas. It would be sad to see Vinland saga desecrated like, say, Planetes. Oh and if the action is tweaked a bit with a shinchiro watanabe or Ando Masahiro touch, that would be awesome |

I hope not... especially after what they have done to Planetes, I would hate to see another Makoto Yukimura Masterpiece reputation been teared apart by the anime adaptation... |

I want toshiro masuda to do the music... oh and on the planetes adaption. The manga was more of a seinen, but the anime turned it into a shounen-sort of a story. Personally I didn't like the change as a fan of the manga, which I think of as more of a piece of art. But I guess there are people who saw the anime first and liked it more. |

If a correct animation studio chose to adapt this masterpiece, it could turn out great, as long as they do not try to kiddie-iffy it. I for sure would love to see the epicness of vinland saga as long, centuries spanning set of hundreds of OVAs, ala legend of galactic heroes. |

Madhouse could do it. Madhouse can do anything. I'd hope they'd wait, say, a few years, though, so that the manga has time to move farther ahead. That said, they could probably work out 22-ish solid episodes just from the prologue arc, give it enough of a conclusion that it can stand on its own but leave it open say that they could continue. |

I really don't understand this "hope not" attitude, if you don't like it, just stick to your manga and don't watch it... I don't see why you would want to deny others that might like it the option of watching it just because you don't like the idea... it shouldn't affect you. |

If the anime turns out to be bad people might turn away from the manga. because if the anime adaptation failed (which, if it was made before the manga finished (ie. now), it would most likely fail), negative publicity around an anime adaptation would lead back to the manga, and prevent potential future readers from bothering with the manga, as well as dissuading current readers (who switched to the anime) from continuing on with the manga. That said I'd LOVE this to get an adaptation when it finishes (I'm not up-to-date with it, but I'm guessing that's years away). I can only really imagine Madhouse doing it though...I think stories like VS are exactly the kind Madhouse dominate. |

The only way I can see Vinland being turned into an anime is that they follow the Claymore route. The prologue will be the entire series (probably 24-26 episodes), and the ending is tweaked to give it closure with no room for a sequel. Like, instead of attacking Canute and getting sentenced to slavery, which will lead to the farm arc, Thorfinn will only realize that he has strayed from the path of true warrior that his father wanted him to follow. A few years will pass and the anime ends with a grown-up Thorfinn sailing to Vinland with bits of Canute turning into a good king who rules over England, Denmark and Norway. That's the only way I see it happening. With a long, monthly series like Vinland, I just can't see any studio wanting to animate any part of it other than the completed prologue. |

I'd love an anime if they stick close to the manga and not try to get too creative with moe elements or sidekick characters. I think they could follow the story up until the death of you know who and then wait until the manga is over to do the next part. |

Pfft, Tarantino would just turn it into another of his vague violent comedies, while the theme of this manga is lost completely. Haven't seen all of Tarantino's works, but especially by Kill Bill I was not impressed. I think he gets more credit than he deserves. Also, to be on topic, I agree with the majority: leave it at the manga, because an anime adaption is usually something that ruins it. Take Zetman for example. I was all hyped up for it, and I dropped the thing. What a disgrace. |

Because I have not written that damn manga and all I care about is keeping myself entertained. |

I would love to see this show in moving image, as I've been itching to start reading this anyways. The theme interests me as I live in the area where this is situationed in. |

If it's an anime adaption, then this is the best time, since both the prologue and Farmland Saga arc are finished. Though, I don't know whether the story would benefit from 24 episodes or 50. The first chapter could be covered in one episode, since it's so action-packed. The flashback with Thors should span three episodes to cover everything. The battle at London bridge until Thorfinn meets Canute could take another three episodes, and the journey with Canute, the meeting with Sweyn and the banquet could take 6-7 episodes. Farmland saga was only 6 volumes, so a 26 episodes series would be ideal at this point, and according to the development in the last couple of chapters it will be easy to come up with a fitting ending if they don't plan to produce other seasons. |

I'd say just adapt the prologue(24 or 25 episodes) so new fans will feel trolled the fact that it's a 2-cour series but nothing more than a prologue. Nah, just kidding. But yeah that could work but i'm skeptical for the prologue and both the farmland saga to only have 25 or 26 episodes. |

I hope so. However, may Thor come down from Asgard and smite every japanese "seiyuu" with the mjolnir if they dub this in Japanese. This is a series that has to be made in either the English (British or Scandinavian English accents), Danish. German, Norwegian, Swedish, etc. language. |

Putting aside the dub vs sub debate, I think it would be pretty nice watchig this dubbed in Norweigian, Danish or whatever language the vikings spoke. Some years ago I watched Comet in Moominland in Finnish and it was a pretty nice experience hearing the characters speak the language of the country they originated from. |

You sure spend a lot of time to be this one dimensional shit posting hypocritical racist redneck. I think the most hilarious thing is your flawed logic. I didn't know voice actors are chosen by how they look and I didn't know that models are in reality voice actors and that one voice actor you posted an image off will be guaranteed to have a role in an unconfirmed anime adaption. Cut your ignorant bullshit, English voice actors don't even fit your beloved Viking Warriors image, in terms of sound or looks and dub companies don't have money to hire voice actors that will fit. Why the hell would the anime studio who decides to adapt this manga, go out of their way to hire foreign voice actors? that is the responsibility of the foreign dub companies. |

MajinSaga said: snip 49 Dat racism. I agreed with you that it would definitely better if the dub have Norweigian or Danish accents but cut out the racism. This is a japanese manga made by a japanese dude for the japanese people so of course we're getting a japanese dub first. If somehow this gets popular, this will definitely gets a dub. Some actors pull off the accents pretty well in Hellsing and some actors didn't even originally have the accent they have on Game of Thrones and they pull it off really well. So i'm gonna stay optimistic that the dub will have the accents but if it doesn't then it's cool. At least we got a dub. Then again it's not even confirmed yet if the announcement is an anime adaptation. |
