Vinland Saga
| I've heard mixed things about it. What makes it good and what makes it bad, my fellow comrades. |
| Two words. It's generic. |
 |
| Yes it gets very good overtime.Anime will cover only 24 ep but it's a story of character development , I would recommend manga over anime |

owen3939 said: deg said: That's fair, but the backgrounds look incredible. Just look at the latest episode for example.i lol maybe the first few episodes since clearly later episodes have animation quality drop just like most anime do so in other words its visual is not that special oh background arts but do be reminded that background arts are static images though so they only do few of them each episode so that means they have a lot of time to make those few art as beautiful as possible |
| What makes it good= its edgy,dark and mature so people think its cool because it aint for kids. What makes it bad= its slow, its nothing special, its normal, its boring, its fans. It has its moments like EP14, but other than that the eps before it has been boring at least for me. |

| If you like epics, yes it is. Beautiful tragedy. The plot isn't exceedingly special so far but still of very high quality, continuously building up to something bigger, the way it's combined with the development of the characters is phenomenal. All of the characters serve well to drive the themes of the story while still standing out individually, due to solid characterization, great natural dialogue and well thought out worldbuilding. Makes great use of its historical time period to give everything more context, like all of the 4 seasons play a big role in the story and makes for gorgeous scenery. Love it so far UwU welcum2savage said: The person who said its generic is judging it too early. Wait till the season is done before you judge it. It has never been a ''generic'' anime though. That dude is clearly a troll and if you ask him why it's generic he'll just utter some bullshit deg said: owen3939 said: Has amazing visuals i lol maybe the first few episodes since clearly later episodes have animation quality drop just like most anime do so in other words its visual is not that special Visuals is not just animation though. Episodes 9 and 11 still had top tier action scenes and all episodes so far have had stunning art, especially last episode which looked incredible throughout. Knowing that it's Studio Wit we'll still get some high quality animation anyway -Stray said: What makes it good= its edgy,dark and mature so people think its cool because it aint for kids.

With you I actually believe you feel mentally scared by some fans somehow. Wtf happened to you? Edit: retract statement |

| The good: It's one of the more realistic portrayals of medieval times especially during times of war. Has some great OST and backgrounds, well done fight scenes (although the CGI can be jarring) and some interesting twists that are coming into play The bad: Pretty slow paced, there isn't really any character that makes you want to root for them, can be a bit repetitive and no character really stands out yet (except maybe Askeladd/Thorkell) |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| @Esquirtit i know visuals are like mix of animation and art style (or character design and background art and (digital) colors/effects) so im just pointing out the animation part that is just average or nothing special |
| It is a pretty enjoyable action anime. It starts calm, but changes after episode 3. |

Esquirtit said: @deg Yeah I know I'm just saying the visuals do deserve praise imo. When the animation is at its peak it's top tier quality and we still have 10 episodes so there might be more instances. Combined with the other visuals aspect it's still worth 7-8/10 overall Just curious, what moments are you referring to as top tier quality animation? I have yet to see anything remotely exceptional to be honest. |

Well there have been enough instances of high quality animation scattered throughout the series but obviously episode 4 and 9 stand out. |

| Thorfinn's character development is almost Kiriyama-tier level in the manga. Going from the most hated to most likeable in the span of 100 chapters. It is such a shame that people are judging Vinland Saga just based on the few prologue episodes that have aired till now. For me Vinland Saga shines the most after the prologue. A coming of the age story about pacifism in a dog eat dog world. |

| You don't know what you have unleashed, have you? Anyways, The Good: - Slowburn (I personally love these kind of anime) - Interesting dialogue - Amazing characters and villains - Great Tone - Great world-building - Astonishing writing - Great animation when it needs to be - Beautiful backgrounds - Great twists - Great action sequences (minus CG) The Bad: - Jarring instances of CGI - A couple liberties to change the source material (nothing major) - Animation drops in a few episodes Call me a fanboy all you want, but I believe this anime is something truly special. Also this: Lonely_Ronin123 said: I would recommend manga over anime |

| It's a must watch imo. I recommend to binge it, instead of waiting for weekly release. It's pretty slow paced. Good: It has great story, characters, realistic medieval feels and ost. Bad: Slow paced and the animation quality dropped after the 4th ep. |
| I'm an anime only but I like it. I've never seen such multifaceted character like Askeladd in a very long time. |
Lmao this must be the most ironic comment I've seen in awhile |
| The good: everything The bad: it's only 24 episode. |
 |
Ahem... *clears throat* *drinks water* Boo |

| My brother, who seemingly have read all the manga you can possible name, has always talked to me about Vinland Saga. He told me it's one of the best manga's that he read and he's never been wrong when he says its good. I'd say Vinland Saga is really great if you like action and large-scale wars. To anime-watchers: I haven't read the manga yet, but he told me that there will come a time when Thorfinn will undergo an overwhelming character growth, and that's where the best parts will start. |

| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
| Wait till they make an adaptation out of Historie (made by the mangaka of Parasyte), they'll expect Alexander the Great fighting asians and they'll get politics. Vinland Saga is good for its own target audience, if you like action stuff and ecchi, maybe you won't enjoy this. |

Modernoir said: It's because some users started hating on other shows and they also say that those who like shows of shonen type are idiots and nothing but a waste.It is. For some reason it has a weirdly big hatebase though. |

| @EchoAnEternity There has barely been any sensible criticism to be honest. I would say on MAL 90% of it is repeating the fact that some characters possess superhuman strength, but it's historical fiction and anime so it's kinda worhtless and dispensable as critique. Anyone can see it's not entirely realistic, the first few minutes weren't, it's just matter of perspective on how stories should be told and your own taste. Other 10% historical flaws and minor inconsistenies. But they certainly aren't delivered by the trolls and haters who just spout crap If people are influenced so much by hype of the anime community maybe they shouldn't interact with it. Literally every anime has a fanbase calling it a masterpiece |
| poop |
2019 for anime was a mistake |

| As a manga reader,story was great until the part after |
 MAL character count |
deg said: So overall story and music is good (7/10)? whereas animation and art are high mediocre (6/10)? Character development is said to be in the future so now it's simple and average (5/10)? Nope I will not try this animu, atleast mango is said to be better, so I may try mango.@Esquirtit i know visuals are like mix of animation and art style (or character design and background art and (digital) colors/effects) so im just pointing out the animation part that is just average or nothing special |

| @Peeti I don't know what you did wrong but I received a notification. I disagree with the scores but I'll just answer your question; there is a lot of character development and it's not average or simple, quite the opposite, there are multiple strong characters it's just one character right now who is kinda stale (even if he's developed a lot already) but he receives a lot of growth later in the story (in the manga, anime won't reach it) according to monga readers |
