Welcome to my profile
I watch and read all genre of anime and manga as long as it doesn't bore me or if the plot isn't progressing/is good, otherwise I drop it immediately. I give all anime a try and usually watch all airing anime per season. The only exceptions are anime whose prequels I never watched before or an anime whose prequel was bad.
========================================================================================
How I rate/score
Things like character development, character backstory, character progression/growth, plot, art, animation and music. However, sometimes an anime can have bad art/animation but makes up for it with the characters/story. But on the other hand an anime can have amazing art/animation but the characters/story can be lacking.
I try not to give an anime anything lower than a 3 but there are some exceptions such as
Pupa and
Gyo.

How did I come up with my name?
You probably already guessed it because it's a very common name. When I first created this account,
Monkey D. Luffy and
Natsu Dragneel were my two favorite characters at the time.

If you want to know how good a series is then message me and I'll tell you what I think about it if its on my list. When I first came on this site, I did a few reviews but they were taken down for many various reasons and I never continued.

Well-known MAL user, @/Literaturenerd, give it lower rating.
Ex: Code Geass
I see more bashing on Twitter than the fanboy talking about it.
However, the real interaction is in the QTS lol
Them in a nutshell: Copy + Paste
And the fanservice... in one moment this is an anime wants you to take it seriously and in the next moment the camera focuses on the girl's ass in the mech, lol.
Yeah, the Vinland anime moved the Thors flashback to the beginning but that's about the only significant change. I also prefer the way the manga did it because it introduces the premise and MC better, but it doesn't matter much at the end of the day.
I think there were also some minor changes in the scenes around when Thorfinn fights Askeladd and loses to him for the last time, but I'm not sure.
I prefer anime over manga as a medium, so the anime is still better for me due to it being a faithful adaptation for the most part.
Story, characters, and enjoyment have the biggest influence on my ratings; I put animation, art, OST, and some other factors into consideration too, but they don't influence my ratings as much as the other stuff. I tend to be forgiving towards a good narrative with lackluster animation but the opposite doesn't apply, good animation can't carry a horrible story and characters for me.
Death Note went downhill and became really bad after ep 25, but I never liked Code Geass due to it often using plot conveniences and asspulls from the very beginning, on top of it having dislikeable MCs and characters in general.
Thorfinn is also stupid for letting Askeladd use him for so long because he wants to kill him in a fair fight, but at least this part of the story did acknowledge that he's stupid, instead of later when it praises his stupidity and grants him even more plot armor.
I agree with you about Askeladd. Morally speaking, he was a terrible person but he was an interesting and well written character in the series, actually the only one, lol.
>I'm the only person who can throw a spear and conviently impale and kill exactly 3 men from over 500meters away hahahaha.
That's one of the things I meant when I mentioned superhuman and unrealistic feats. Thorkell pulls all kinds of bullshit that challenges your suspension of disbelief whenever he's on screen, he's a meathead who loves fighting/war and that's his entire character.
Canute may have been a character that I would've liked if his character development was gradual and handled realistically instead of the 180 he pulled, and if he was actually relevant throughout the story. "Emotionally weak boy grows into a man because of the world and his circumstances" isn't a bad idea, but the execution absolutely is.
>I was checking out the story arcs and next arc looks 10 times better.
I wouldn't say it is at all, I started hating the series after that arc. Your issues with the shallow Viking portrayal, characters and plot armor are going to carry over unfortunately.
I'm surprised you gave Vinland a 5 despite what you said, it's higher than I would've expected.
Do you have a personal rating system? And if not, what's the rating where something becomes "worth watching" for you? For me it's 6/10.
They used to have anime video cassettes??!! Oh bummer :(. I collect mainly manga, nendoroids/figures, and pins (: do you regret selling any particular item cause of nostalgia or monotal value ?
Yepp, I used to live somewhere that had tons of snow during the winters and my parents would always complain about how to reshovel the driveaway aha.
Do you collect any anime merch like figures, manga/ln?
Canute's character development was badly done, he pulls a 180 like Kaneki Ken all of a sudden, and I didn't like how characters can sometimes perform superhuman and unrealistic feats in an otherwise realistic setting.
I started to dislike the series after reading the manga tbh, I have problems with Thorfinn's character and how the main themes of the series are handled, but I can't say more without spoilers.
Have you read it?
