Put 10 on kimetsu no yaiba... yeah that's a shitty opinion |
Nim0174 said: Tougen said: When is he being dishonourable? do i have to remind you that raiding villages and murdering folk WAS NOT something dishonourable in viking culture? vikings raid, in their raids they pillage, collect slaves and murder people. In viking point of view its the weak english kings fault for not being able to protect his people. His dad died because Askellad was a dishonourable coward, soo he dosent want to just kill Askellad, he wants to prove that he is better than Askellad. But that dosent mean Thorfinn likes doing it either, he realises that what he is doing is wrong, but he is too deep in the spiral of hatred to stop now, thats the whole point of this entire arc. its not about viking culture its dishonorable because he goes against what his dad valued its dishonorable towards his father He is a kid, plus his dad died in front of him because he hesitated on killing Askellad, Thorfinn clearly think that his dad was wrong with his 'a warrior does not need a blade' speech. And yes, Thorfinn IS stupid by doing what he is doing, but believe me, this series will go into deep character progression territory. |
Fucking amazing ๐๐๐ |
Already had a conversation about this, I better warn u vinland fans are pretty obnoxious. 100% agree on what u said about thorfinn btw About the hype, I'd say it comes mostly from the manga readers, with the gory scenes playing a part as well, u know blood -> mature -> good Modified by vhagar8, Aug 20, 6:35 AM |
So you rated Kimetsu no yaiba 10/10 you cant understand why we are hyped because you love shounen childish anime that it . Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
The manga won Best Manga Award in 2012 Kodansha Manga Awards, so it is truly an excellent manga |

I just... I... I need a break from MAL. |

I just... I... I need a break from MAL. Maybe people didn't understand because your answer wasn't that legit. There's a difference between being illogical and unrealistic. If a person wakes up one day and completely changes his personality for no reason that's not being illogical, that's just unrealistic. (Just an example not thorfinn case to be clear) I get that the story is trying to make thorfinn act foolishly and that he will later acknowledge his errors later. I'm just saying the way the author is trying to portray him as illogical is irrealistic. I'm guessing the other people who're complaing think more or less the same |
Can we get a Admin here to either close or clean this thread like jeez people its threads and comments like these that really disgust me about the MAL community. We got homophobic talk, childish conversations that have gone no where and the amount trolls making off topic related comments. "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |

Jesus christ, why are there so many soyboys in this thread. This anime is too manly for your ass, go watch some girly shit. Leave the manly anime for real men. |
I am certain they'll adapt a second season to cover the remaining manga volumes. If you let the anime explore more of the MC and the rest for 50 episodes, it will be epic, even without reading the manga. Also how many non-fantasy historical anime adaptations of medieval Europe can you find nowadays? Though I am waiting till they reach to resume reading. Seiya said: Because people have weird, disturbing taste. I'll never understand the appeal of seinen works. I found the second half to be true seinen and calmer in pace since the protagonist grows up. No more focus on superhuman battles. It is like a grown up reflecting on the idiotic things he did as a teen. Few manga go into that sort of character development without resorting to momentary flashbacks. I just hope they'll adapt it too. In essence, second part cancels the first part. |

WHOOP WHOOP DAS THE SOUND OF Art police. non-fantasy historical Now you have to be REALLY careful here, fellow forum goer. For this series is borderline stupid fantasy in the way it depicts combat (and several characters, who either look like monsters or are as strong as ones). The only historical thing about it, so far, is the setting of 1000s and the famous British Free-For-All. If the authors keeps avoiding proper depiction of historical violence, he might end up sacrificing a quality story for the Rule of Cool. Re:formed |
To me it's because Thorfinn and Askeladd secretly need each other in the hellish world of vikings. I take it as a kind of stockholm/co-dependency. I get this vibe especially when Askeladd admits how much he hates the Danes. And Thorfinn kind of has similar musings after his first fight with Thorkell. They both hate Viking culture but wont admit it cause it will make them seem weak. |

The writing or that you dont agree with the characters actions? the latter, i thought i cleared that up by now, maybe i didn't phrase myself correctly, you have to excuse me if there were grammar issues or stuff but rather than his actions, its more the fact that he thinks he is being honorable facing askeladd 1o1, when he is being his bitch causing innocent blood to be shed and therefore being dishonorable towards his fathers values (who im pretty sure would not say good job for killing grandma and her village!)

Thors and one other character to be introduced demonstrate feats not possible by humans but I dont mind it for action scenes being more fun. And its not ridiculous enlugh to break immersion imo. But overall with other characters action scenes are mmore grounded its just a few scenes here and there that are crazy. |
What do you mean? It's like the best anime this year lol , not even a Manga reader here  |

You guys must've been living under a rock if you don't think it's as mainstream as Vagabond and Berserk which are most teens' favorites now. But of course you only watch action shonen, you must think those titles are deep. Oh, you have Beboop in fav. No wonder |

No wonder I never said that Vinland Saga wasn’t popular, I’m just against the term “normie” Oh, and I’m sorry for not being up to your standards. |

And yeah, some things that will happen are not at all realistic, its a storical manga, yes, but some of the action sequences ARE exagerated to look cool over realism some even involving random characters like those vikings carrying the ship, that is something i particularly like about the series though. |
