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

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. This.... ...rNr... |

| 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 actually know people who never read the manga because of the anime (until I convinced them that the manga is much better). Because, in reality the anime is nothing like the manga, especially the first half. I still can't believe that they put a filler like space ninjas, and left so much of the manga out... |
peroxid said: There are people who don't read manga... and the space ninjas were cool... personally I don't care all that much if an anime adaptation has differences from the manga, and generally the source, as long as it remains good... and I don't see why I should care either...I actually know people who never read the manga because of the anime (until I convinced them that the manga is much better).

| I think if the people who adapted Berserk into an anime were to do Vinland Saga I'd watch it |
| 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. |

And this is what I fear could happen to an adaptation of Vinland Saga. Personally I would enjoy more an OVA or even movie adaptation, because in those two mediums directors have usually more freedom, and aren't forced to make an fan-service show... |

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. |

| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| 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. |
Raitei_Dono said: That doesn't make much sense, if you mean people already reading the manga might stop then I can't but ask why? They like the manga what has the anime to do with it? If the anime turns out to be bad people might turn away from the manga. Raitei_Dono said: I know, but all this uncalled for negativity really isn't so nice.We are only giving our opinion which won't be taken into consideration if they do or do not decide to make it into a anime. |
Raitei_Dono said: Even more then... these are people the anime would bring along, if it doesn't then no gain, no loss. What difference does it make to the ones who are already fans of the manga?No I am talking about people who will only watch anime.Many people watch anime first to get a feel of the story and if they like what they see they go on to the manga. |

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. |
| I hope that they will do the anime. Thanks to this increase the chance that Viz will licensed manga in America and I will be able to buy manga in english :-) I have hope the anime will be good too. |
| will this be made into an amen? |

| They might end it like they did Btooom! Since there aren't enough chapters remaining to make more of an anime, they just sort of ended it with there being a chance of continuation later on. |
  |
| 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. |

| They could technically make an anime and end it before the farmland saga arc and wait till there are more material... |
| I don't think this would be animated... I think this is not get popularity in japan so far.. |
| In that case it should be Makoto Yukimura himself that directs it, otherwise I'm against it. |

| 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. |

I personally do not give a damn if a manga I love has been made into a bad anime and the manga loses popularity because of it. 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. |

| http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/09/23-1/vinland-saga-announcement-teased My Odin let it be an anime adaptation. |
| 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. |

MajinSaga said: You're from the sudan. You're opinion on anything Nordic or Germanic culture is invalid. lmao, puny girly asian men imitating Viking warriors. 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. |
