This is my opinion, I am not a reader of his manga so I will only base myself on the Anime.
I have so many feelings that I never had for years when watching this masterpiece, I was a big fan of shounen when I was a child, now I am 30 years old and seeing this arc of the farm, I want to say that I finally discovered this wonderful genre called Seinen.
People just want to see blood and fights but not everything is based on that to see the good in this story, Thorfinn is the best character development I've seen in a long time and more with the message it gives you about the meaning of war.
MAPPA hats off to me because I can finally give 10/10 to one of all its adaptations, even though it has not been an excellent animation, all those details went unnoticed just by concentrating on its story, even including things that were not in the manga for what they told me.
God willing that you will never finish this work of art and continue enjoying the beautiful Seinen genre thanks to Vinland Saga.
