This show offers something mature and intellectually stimulating in ways which probe you to reflect on your own values as a person. The actual animation is incredibly top-notch from it's contemporaries. The fight scenes are both fluid and extremely graphic at times. The set pieces are something to marvel at. You get to see the rolling hills of England, the biting cold of Iceland, and of course - the cozy warmth of Vinland. Each are incredibly beautiful in their own right. The music is serviceable. It heightens the scenes it's incorporated in and isn't all too distracting. It would have maybe been nice to include some more authentic Viking songs, or anything else more period appropriate.
