Thors: "A real warrior doesn't need a sword"
Thorfinn: *Proceeds to use daggers*
10,000 IQ
They are seaxes, actually.
SilverEevee
While you’re technically right, there’s nothing wrong with calling them daggers or knives
*In the manga they call it a short sword*
Thorfinn:🗡\ ( ; ಠ_ಠ')ノ🗡 ...wut
@@mikemoos Actually they're not. A seax would have a single, straight edge (or almost) with a back that curved towards the edge. What Thorfinn uses is obviously double-edged.
SilverEevee actually no they aren’t because they’d have one side sharpened and sort of trimmed off shape on one side
Thors: “a true warrior doesn’t need a sword”
Thorfinn: “...he needs 2?”
🤣
To be fair, Thorfin is using daggers
He is using short swords (depicted as daggers)
Just finished it, realised that the kid never let go of his sword till the end. It's when he lets go that he can move on. wauw.
You should watch this....👍👍👍👍th-cam.com/video/eKtsO-X0iT8/w-d-xo.html
If you think about it, Askeladd is a protagonist, antagonist, and supporting all throughout season 1
I feel like giguk didn't emphasize just how real the characters were, thats what makes it so good in my opinion, it doesn't try to censor anything and treat you like a "child" each action had purpose and looked like it wasn't an anime they were real people, even though they aren't, it confuses you and you get interested in it or at least thats how it felt for me
Yeah it felt more like thorfinn was a side character in his own story
I dislike season 1 Thorfinn tbh. If Askeladd wasn't around I probably would've stopped watching. He carries the show into season 2 and I'm glad he did because I love season 2 Thorfinn
I am obsessed with Vinland Saga. 10/10 anime. It’s a fucking masterpiece.
highly recommend the manga. It's a GREAT manga, so much that if you read it now and then later the anime is about the same quality as the first season or better, you won't ruin anything, you will just enjoy the experience two times.
Then you find out the anime was just the prologue.The actual story is in the manga and will probably never get adapted
@@Acidreflux18 ... You know WIT plans to fully adapt it, right?
@@AgnusCavichioliPereira what is your source? Can you link it?
U will give it 20/10 after the manga
Thor: "you don't need a sword"
Thorfinn: "You're right... I need TWO!!"
He doesn't need any swords. But he sure likes to use those knives
It's Thors, not Thor
Wrong name.
@@danielantony1882 Next you're gonna tell me he didn't ACTUALLY desert the MCU.
Alexandre Guyon Never said a warrior needs no knife DID HE?!
Everytime I watch gigguk it's either I'm laughing hard or being emotionally attacked....
True
Sometimes both
gigguk could direct a guardians of the galaxy
Parkour!
A guy who has an anime profile picture, man I love your originality
If you think about it, Askeladd’s so smart, that his plan worked even when he was dead, such a chad
Aizen levels of brain right there.
He planned everything. Even his death. But certainly not by the hands of......
@@dirt50yearsago80 you fucking spoiled it for me. Thanks man
What I really noticed in the anime is the soundtrack and the voice acting. Every shout and cry you hear from Thorfinn from episode 3 on, you can really feel the emotion behind it.
Askeladd is such a badass character
I would say he is like escanor of the vinland saga universe.
I had no idea I'd love him so much, but he's going down on my list of top best characters I have ever witnessed. I came into this anime based on this, but my god I'm so happy i did.
@@antonvlad8526 I think Thorkell is more like Escanor. Askeladd is a very good fighter, hell he is in top 3 so far in vinland saga (for me), but his fighting style far from escanor. Askeladd is tactician and thus he thinks when he fights. Meanwhile, Thorkell fights using unstopable brute force and speed, like Escanor.
@@geekun4444 spoiler alert!
But escanor has more depth as a character than thorkell.
His backstory is ban level and he dies fighting trying to create a new and better future.
So in those aspects he is like askeladd.
Lmao guys please don't compare vinland saga's characters to characters from an anime like seven deadly sins. It's like an insult to vinland saga.
Thorfin spent more time with askelad than he did with his dad
I didn’t realize until halfway through the show lol
That really hit me this morning after I finished, and I was like "damn...yeah, so many more years with this brutal man than his own father."
Really helps portray the twisted relationship Thorfinn has with Askeladd.
during elementary school u spent more time with the teacher than with ur parents
@@7om015 on god
@@7om015 oh shit
@D_ans “uglass fukin noodle head”
I have never wanted a character dead so bad but also cried when they died
fax bro. i was in an equally intense emotional situation in both, thors death and askeladd's death
💀💀😭😭😭😭
Same
Sometimes I found myself agreeing with Askeladd and moments later realise that he is suppose to be the antagonist in this story. The end got me sad even if in the back of my mind he was supposed to be the bad guy.
Normally it’d be virtually impossible for me to look at a character order the robbing and massacre of an entire village and say “dang, that was the right call for them.” But lo and behold this cursed show did it, because the one survivor of the village did indeed go and tell the opposing forces, thus totally proving Askeladd right.
@@Zarastro54 it's sort of karma for what askellad
The writer was writing a message with Anne
She was suffering the guilt of stealing a ring calling herself a sinner, moments after her family is brutally killed her brothers/sisters, her mom, and dad
She was shown that there were far more evil people in the world
But she wasn't filled with vengeance like thorfinn, she knew her family was in heaven and tried to bring justice for her family
@@okay8458 His decision wasn’t moral, but it was “right” in the context of the goals of their group. Anne not doing it out of vengeance is totally beside the point. She was a survivor, she justifiably ran and told others, the raiders got screwed because they let one get away.
@@Zarastro54 which is why he is the bad guy there have been many occasions where he slaughtered innocent people just to take their food
They most definitely was not in the right Ragnar told him to turn back but he believed that they could make it by just slaughtering the innocent people
It was to show the cruelty of askellad which is what the writers intended it wasn't the right thing to do bc he's made many mistakes leading up to this point
If he didn't bothered the village wait out until tomorrow when the blizzard went away their wouldn't be ppl telling them where they were
@@Zarastro54 the original commenter stated that he knew askellad was an evil man even askellad himself admitted to becoming the thing he hated the most he doesn't like killing children what a nice thing to say but he still does
My point was that it's karma or payback for the crimes he committed through out the 10 years of raiding and slaughtering
The greatest leader who always make the right decision, and is always lucky
Makes the wrong decisions and becomes unlucky
The writer was showing that not everything will go askellad way
Askeladd is literally just "I kill people's dads to make an army of anime protagonists"
stonks
"i make them very angsty by murdering their dads, then i adopt them to use them as weapons, after that, i frickin kill myself to make them even more angsty"
@Selina Sahoo he isn’t wrong tho 🤷♂️😂
Bruh stop I can't 😂😂😂
He literally killed his own dad-
The first 12 episodes and the last 12 episodes were a masterpiece
i see what you did there

@@piercebruhbruh oh no it seems like ur gonna get r/wooshed by a lot of people
@@almightynova4095 yeah what does that mean? Ive seen that a lot
@@piercebruhbruh oh no you predicted my intention!
Askeladd is the pure example of great villan, many times during the anime I had to remember myself that askeladd is the guy who killed Thors, the guy who uses Thorfinn as a tool, many times I forgot that, just to remember back when he does some effin atrocity.
vinland saga is one of the rare mangas that i would give a 10, the only reason i wouldnt give the anime a 10 but a 9 because they didnt release the next season in which the real development and events escalation happens. but the pov and meaning in the manga affected me to the core
What manga is similar?? I juste finished 182 and now i want to read somethinf similar
@@juwatt638 i think RUROUNI KENSHIN maybe similiar in a way, but its really good anyway i think you might give it a try as well

DUDE, Askeladd voice actor, is the same one as Madara. DOUBLE NICE.
Now they need dubbed Madara for dubbed Askeladd
And the king is voiced by Hashirama
@@VeryChiefed dubbed Madara sounded badass
And Thorkell´s voice actor is the same as Blackbeard from one piece

Man I was crushed when Leif started to realize just how off the path Thorfinn was
That was the most emotional moment for me
it just made me feel vaguely depressed
The kid who always smile ended up being a killer
Really man. The moment when Leif took him to the boat in the 23rd ep only to see him running away was so heartbreaking
@@aishwarshukla5237 seeing how leif is in the manga rn makes me real emotional, my man spent more than a decade chasing after thorfinn
Finally someone who can actually communicate why this show is so damn good.
I honestly cried when Björn and Askeladd met for the last time.
Me too
I didnt get why they dueled in the first place
@@Leon-vg9jv Bjorn was slowly dying, so Askeladd wanted to put him out of his misery and send him to valhalla by killing him in a battle
@@Leon-vg9jv As far as I know, it has something to do with the Viking belief system. If a man (Viking)dies they'd have to die fighting, weapon in hand to be received into the halls of valhalla (THE viking place to be, endless feasts, drinking and fighting). Furthermore a one on one fight, a duel, being the most honorable form of fight it would yield one of the best places in valhalla. Askeladd and Björn being close friends, Askeladd wanted to make sure that Björn would get one of the best places.
I did too
Honestly, Askeladd is such a great antagonist I’m not even sure if he’s actually an antagonist.
But is he?
Askellad trained Thorfinn. When he was a kid, he could have killed Thorfinn, but he didn't. He showed Throfinn how to keep up with the cruel world that they were in. He taught him how to protect himself.
Askellad experienced what it felt like to be in Thorfinns situation when he was a kid. Askellad lost her mother, just as Thorfinn lost his father. And in a way, Askellad could see himself within Thorfinn, they were both warriors, and that's all they will ever be. Askellad, as a warrior, was battling against the Danes and the Welsh, both literally and figuratively.
Thorfinn, on the other hand, was also in battle, a battle for his revenge. But in end, he later realized that it was a battle AGAINST his revenge. In the end, it was a battle to end his battle. A battle for his paradise, and his freedom. And Askellad helped show him that.
Askellad, in my opinion, was a father figure to Thorfinn in more ways than one.
No he is not
Askeladd actually recognized he lost to Thors and said he was a magnificent man and warrior, he definetly felt sorry for his death because it was nothing personal, just a job. For me, in that scene in which Thorfinn grabs a sword while Askeladd is apparently sleeping it was the moment in wich I realized that he really felt sorry and he would let Thorfinn kill him.
@@mateoblanco9735 not so true but i get your point :p
Can we all take a moment to notice how Askeladd and Kenny Ackerman share a similar quote?
Askeladd - "Everyone is a slave to something."
Kenny Ackerman - "Everyone had to be drunk on something to keep pushing on. Everyone... Was a slave to something."
when askeladd said that i literally thought of Kenny😔
shared braincell maybe...i mean they do look similar in their character figure
Askeladd: "not a hero, not a god, just someone"
Eren: "you're no slave, you're no god, you're just a person"
Great minds think alike.
Isayama used Vinland Saga a reference probably
I binged the manga after seeing season 1 and I can't wait for the Farming Arc to be animated. I adored that story.
Frfr
Where do i pick up after the s1
Is there a way I can read the manga for free? I've never read manga before, but I want to get into it
Same here. I didi it in 2 days 😂😂😂😂
Even the prologue is so damn good, that anime-only's will expect season 2 to be like that. Season 2 meanwhile is gonna be a moral masterpiece
You were right. Season 2 IS a moral masterpiece. Now you've got people all over social media uttering Thorfinn's words: "I have no enemies at all".
Yes it most definitely was a moral masterpiece, a little slow but I definitely can appreciate the care to the characters development

FYI the "Language barrier" stuff is only an issue in the native Japanese dubbing. In stuff like the German dub, they actually switch languages, like when trying to talk to the English the characters speak in a very, very crude and accented English
The English dub handles those scenes pretty well too. It's only the Japanese dub that fails to do so and it's insane how some people are so close minded, they can't give other dubs a chance.
I read full vinland saga because my friend suggested it . I didn't quite get it . Then I asked my friend to explain it . He explained very briefly. That only a man who suffered injuries from war know how cruel war is . But for that Thorfinn had to learn it . By killing hundreds of people. In the end he learnt his lesson on dead bodies of people. His father told him a real warrior a real warrior doesn't need a sword but to know that he has to test it throughout manga . But at last he knew his father was right . This also tells us his father was also advised by someone . But he also struggled his whole life which means a true warrior is someone who has wielded sword once but knows that it can only bring destruction . And he also failed to teach Thorfinn until his death .
W comment
So reading a history book counts as spoilers!
As a guy that vaguely paid attention in history class in Norway, I have probably been spoiled for several things in this show already
More or less, yes. You just won't get the mangaka's interpretation on character interactions.

The last 7 episodes were a masterpiece
Last 8 actually...... Did you see Canute badass scene at the end of episode 18
@@abhishekdhiman4136 no
they still are
@@abhishekdhiman4136 what? Thats what he said 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24 that 7 eps
every time i watch the ending scene, im literally in tears. None of this rent-a-girl friend dog-shit from this year compares to what I experienced while watching Vinland Saga.
My favorite thing about this show is the themes of religion and how it seems to compare norse mythology with christianity and also shows how much christianity has changed and not changed over the centuries. I also love how the characters religion seem to be the main drive of a fair amount of the characters, the only characters I would say aren’t driven by their religion is Thorfinn who just wants vengeance. Prince Canute for examples driven by his christianity either in accordance with god or more prominently in defiance of god, another example is Askeladd who is driven by the story his mother told him of a great warrior that would return and how maybe even because of his middle name he believes that he will at least try to be the warrior his mother was desperately waiting for.
I genuinely believe askeladd to be the best developed character within one season (roughly 24 episodes)
For sure. Although he's the antagonist, I think he's the lead character in the season
"Askeladd is far and beyond the best antagonist this year and it's not even close."
Hell, I'd even go as far as to say he's the best character this year.
In later episodes he becomes a protagonist
@@ianpaulcana3088 farm arc was so beautiful
mista
@@ianpaulcana3088 demon slayer ain't any better
@@ianpaulcana3088 The farming arc portrays what happens to a man when he lost his purpose of living. Thorfinn's purpose in life was to kill Askeladd, when his goal was snatched all that is left is an empty husk of a human shell. But throughout the farming arc he learns the meaning behind his father's words and has finally found a purpose in life, to find Vinland and build a country of peace. This is deep character and story writing, the development of Thorfinn's character is amazing and one of the best even. Do not be mistaken, the seinen genre is much more than gore, violence, and sexual acts. It portrays mature and complex writing, it portrays the philosophies and what it means to live. If you think Vinland Saga, a seinen manga, is full of action then you have made a mistake. If you wanted fight and action scenes go to Shounen instead, but it will not have the same level of character writing as Seinen.

drunk on something to keep pushing

Yea it's realism scale is quite high, also as he mentioned historical level are also really high, there are some minor things, but they pale in comparrison to how accurate the rest is.
It really is cool how real it is, although some names are kind of... wierd?
Like using "Askeladd" as a name? (comparable to Cinderella)
Maby it's a clue to his story or character.
Even if vinland saga was about farming, i would still watch it... oh wait..
In season 2 it became farmland saga which is wayyyyy better than the season 1 which is already good coz on season 1 thorfinn didnt use sword and dont focus of actions thats why the person at the end scene is the people that surrender at war and want to live a peaceful life and he meet those people
It is still farming, but for heads
Greatest arc ever
so many ppl gonna drop it when season 2 comes out bc most of them only watched it for the fights... who needs character development I guess
@@loafof ngl I would still watch s2, the character development in s1 was pretty interesting
There is so much about this show that resonates with me on some deep level, it's very hard to describe it in words. I really enjoyed over-the-top fight scenes, but with each episode, I felt more and more sorry about basically everyone in the story. Such a tough life in a very cruel world. Even Askeladd, an absolute beast and cold-hearted bastard, I felt so sorry for him. Really looking forward to seeing how Thorfinn learns the lesson his father gave him.
I only felt sorry for Askeladd when he was a child
Vinland Saga is a Masterpiece, way to put it
True
It's sad how anime fans make anime look only about cute waifus instead of something like this.

I can't believe how underrated this series is. Started watching a few days ago and I'm in love with it. In my opinion, the best anime of 2019 that deserves a heck load of more and more recognition.

I binged all of it yesterday and my god, it was amazing. It was always on my radar but never could find where to watch it but when I did, I was so pleased. Personally I wasn't a fan of Thorfinn after a bit (he grew back to me at the end), but what I loved, was the side characters, the realism, the sadness and horrors of the raiding of villages. In most shows its like "oh haha they killed a village who cares". in this they just struck you in the heart that these are people with lives, love, family, and beliefs. Thats what is truly special about it to me.
I've read the first 100 chapters of the manga and let me tell you, it's a trip. A lot of 'old warrior' wisdom I've read in fantasy novels comes back here, but also Chekkov's Gun principle is accurate for every piece of dialogue.
Askeladd's "Everyone is a slave to something" friggin reminded me of Kenny. He said the same thing to Levi before he died so...*cries*
th-cam.com/video/eKtsO-X0iT8/w-d-xo.html👍
That's the exact same thing I thought of when I saw that coming from Askeladd.
they seem VERY similar in general. What a great character structure!
Same what I thought
Its exactly what I thought as well. Another simlar thing between Aot and Vinland Saga is that both of them are animated by WIT studio.
I've dodged this series for two years. When I finally finished it, I regretted not watching it earlier. Vinland Saga is now one of my favorite stories of all time.
You know Garnt's serious when he keeps the jokes and the clowning to a minimum. What a video.
The show never let's you forget how brutal that time was. Few light hearted episodes would be followed by soul crushing brutality.

I'm not going to lie, I was so tired of waiting for each episode that I just went and read the manga.

Now we just keep trying to convince the other to read the manga that we so enjoy.

I've read them both and they are both amazing. The only thing youll regret about reading Berserk is not doing it sooner.
Honestly, even if doesn't convince him, if you loved Vinland, read Berserk, just for your own good.
Generally manga is always better than anime (with few exceptions like "Banner of stars"). I know when friend shown me "Ichi the killer" movie. He said you have to watch it, it is brutal.

It makes sense when you think about him like that. I initially thought of him as Eren (which was always obsessed with killing titans) but Viking Sasuke sounds better.
Someone: *mentioned slave*
Askeladd: "Your free life trial has ended."
i just hope they wont mess up season 2
It bothered me the entire anime that Thorfin never ONCE asked or got any details on why Askeladd killed his dad. He knew we was a mercenary, so surly at some point the thought of it being a job must have come up. I get he will still hate the guy who did the killing but it would have changed the dynamic to something that would have been deeper and more natural.
Did he do it in the Manga?
Because you write in the anime so..
Yeah thats honestly one of the only but also one of the biggest critic points for me. Like i get it, he killed him but kid dont you want to know WHY he killed him? i guess not

I can confirm that I was not alive in the viking age, therefor I should not be able to confirm if they were weeb running or not, but I am going to just accept weeb running vikings as a fact.
Lil Comment, It’s easier to animate when compared to someone properly swinging their arms I believe.

Thank you so much for this interview. Your questions were awesome as well. Keep up the great content!
I cant wait for the second season if this amazing anime.
Vinland Saga is not about revenge (only the prologue is), it's about redemption.
It's about everything
REDEEEEEEEPTIHOOON OHHHH DEEEP IN MY ASS
@@user-vh7ks8px3s read it. You will understand
@Jojo reference 54 i think
Micah you rat!
2019 is definitely the year for Wit Studio and Ufotable
You're right, popular studios like A-1 Pictures have been under the radar lately.
Yeah haha Kyoto animation ain't got shit this year
@@GLaurence1997 Yea well there's for hope for next year since there's Violet Evergarden movie
@@GLaurence1997 bro
@@GLaurence1997 wtf man
3 years ago, I skipped Vinland Saga because Viking and Old history doesn't interest me at all. But a month ago I saw that season 2 is airing. I though to myself that if there's season 2, then it must be that good. The reviews were are also positive. So I started watching and finishing season 1 asap so I can start watching season 2. Turns out it was one of the greatest story I watched. You can see it's well written when you realize that the antagonist feels like the main character of the story. Definitely regret skipping vinland 3 years ago.
Just finished it, holy shit what a wild ride, I just wish the final episode had wrapped things up a little more. I feel bad for everyone who finished the show back in 2019 and has been patiently waiting for S2
When I read the manga years ago I thought to myself, This is too good to ever be adapted in to an anime... I was wrong. They did an amazing job... Now I hope they will someday animate Vagabond correctly. And maybe in the year 2283 we will get a good adaptation of Berserk.
And kingdom. This shit's so dense they could probably do a weekly anime going out every week like onepiece
Blade of the Immortal is coming up soon too. Hopefully the more that these seinen classics are popular and well received, the more the big studios will see that these series are worth doing large scale adaptions of
@@davepatois297 I wouldn't try it. One Piece is pretty dense, but the anime has been watered down garbage for years, just so that it can keep releasing weekly.
@@zenbrown7144 The difference is that Kingdom would be adapted from chapter 1 all the way to chapter 600, if it's a good adaptation that means at most 3 chapters per episode meaning we would have around 200 episodes of content already.
Vagabond is never coming back, Inoue has too much money.
To be honest sometines a person need to experience the complete opposite and wrong path to realize what's wrong with the path you have chosen
Yep, this is the best way to put Thorfinn’s entire path
Even sauske did the same, but it had too many cliches.
Needing revenge is the lie that thorfinn believes
@Long Change actually there's people who chosen this path
The prequel arc and farm arcs are both masterpieces in completely dfferent ways which is fascinating
It truly is a masterpiece even though season is basically a prologue before thorfinn does a full 180
I call BS as Thorkell is clearly the best waifu in Vinland Saga
He is just Nordic Speedwagon
If Speedwagon were to be a smiling murder fighting beefcake
Ah best girl
Thorkel daughter * exist*
@Fabijan Posedel I think you meant to say Hild.
Isn't anyone here gonna talk about Vinland Saga's amazing OP? Mukanjyo? no? ok.
That slaps harder than unravel ngl
Dark crow was better
69th like
Mukanjyo is the best before i hear full vid, then i realized op 2 still better
Hell Mukanjyo and Drown are respectively one of my most fav op and end of all time
I feel like giguk didn't emphasize just how real the characters were, thats what makes it so good in my opinion, it doesn't try to censor anything and treat you like a "child" each action had purpose and thought behind it, looked like it wasn't an anime and they were real people, even though they aren't, it confuses you and you get interested in it or at least thats how it felt for me
Bruh when Askeladd died i didn’t know whether to weep with Joy or cry in Grief
When the whole crew died I didn't care for shit knew the traitors would die and so did Askeladd that's why he wanted to march. He's right they are a bunch of war hungry dumbasses.
Askelad gone crabrave
Oh I was crying my eyes out, I love him....
I personally felt bad. He had a tragic life too. He had so much potential but he lost himself and was killed. I miss that bastard already..
:(
@@whiteglint7694 I mean, in that last scene, he knew that in order to save both Wales and Canute he would have to sacrifice his own life by killing Sweyn... which he did, the madlad.
Just so you know this video has been in my recommendations since it came out and I finally watched the series and don’t regret it at all 😭😭 THANK YOU BRO
Coming back to this video because of a little bit of season 2 hype and one thing that is different from when I saw season one is that now Im a dad myself. Seeing Thors pats little Thorfinn's head hit a place I didnt knew I have at the time. This story is truly special and deserve all the respect I can give. Ty for this
You cheeky boi. Don't think you can slip dat Gwent music in from Witcher 3 without me noticing now?
lmao thought the same thing
ah witcher of culture aren't we?
AKUMETSU
...sorry. I just really loved that manga.
And nier automata music
There's even Game of Thrones ost
Gigguk: *Stop sleeping on Vinland Saga*
Me: *_I got insomnia, GG_*
Just Some Guy without a Mustache are you small?
Fock ur everywhere
I swear you are everywhere...
He will always be here
You are the reminder under every anime video that I watch to many of these videos
The edits, the narrative, the memes...everything is top-notch, really great video.
Loved the video Gigguk , it was very beautifully made.
VINLAND SAGA's adaptation soothed my anger toward Berserk adaptations.
I like how you are the type of guy he describes at the beginning
He also made this joke in his season video and it killed me 😂
welovfree • محمد أمزيان FACTS
*Guts’ theme intensifies*
*So put your grasses on, nothing will be wong*
Kakyoin: Milf hunter
Askeladd: Dad killer
The perfect team
When Askeladd was standing with Canute and Thorfinn I realized that he killed all their dads
His own dad included lmfao best boi Askeladd
They're both ded
Ahem The DADDYSLAYER
Well done sir! You hit the nail right on the head. Vinland Saga is special and I felt it from the very first episode.
Honestly this anime is actually quite a tear jerker. Just knowing that Thorfinn was once a happy innocent kid, but became almost unrecognizable when his dad was killed. Just knowing that alone made me want to cry my eyes out.
Yessss that's exactly what stuck to me everytime I see him on the screen I'm shaking my head in sadness. So so do well written
**A new anime comes out**
Gigguk: Time to start this man's whole career.
No
@@lemonkes8618 yes
@@lemonkes8618 Yes Yes Yes Yes. OH MY GAHHHH!
Wow ignorance is quite bliss.
Makoto Yukimura holds a title which not many manga author has. Which is having both his long form serializations adapted by a prominent animation studio and have both be broadcasted on national broadcasting station, and this fucking channel is mandatorly charged if you have a flippin tv in Japan.
@Afonso Almada Seems like the OC has no idea of what the author already has under his belt. You rarely get a genuine talent like Yukimura, and he's still got his youth to pump out several more long form serialization. Seeing his track record, guessing it'll end up being adapted too.
I feel like it pretty much gets better with each episode, the show has great pacing, beautiful animation and some really fascinating characters
I'm Just sad we won't get a lot of the beautifull payoffs as some of the Best ones Come later on imo after the 2nd Time skip
Demon slayer it just so goddem overrated stfu people pls its not worth it
Just give Vinland Saga a time .
It’s something of Game of thrones and attack on titans type of shows. who loves Aot for the story not for just there is a big naked titans who looks cool
WILL FUCKIN ABSOLUTELY LIKE VINLAND
THANK ME fkn LATTER
All love from iraq ❤️❤️
@@abdullhafaris1055 Or how about you let people watch what they want, Demon Slayer is praised for a reason. As is Vinland Saga.
惸然Riot
Ammm ok im not forcing anyone im saying my opinion about slayer and advising who liked Aot and game of thrones to watch Vinland saga
Calm down bro
@@abdullhafaris1055 Demon slayer is no way overrated. No need to bring down another title down to push another title up.
Watches one episode of vinland saga : i have no enemies… no one does
This video almost made my cry, I watched the anime when it first came out and I just now watched this video years later. This video did the series justice.
The dub better get those French and Nordic in with subtitles xd
the dub better be old english (not Shakespeares early modern english, OLD ENGLISH)
@@HiopX but isn't it like a dead language and noone knows how to speak it anymore?
th-cam.com/video/sR18mp13WdE/w-d-xo.html
How lit would it be, if there would be a legit attempt at a multi language dub?
@@shinsha_ i mean we have a good guess, all of the languages presented are not spoken anymore, namely middle english, middle french and norse, even a bit celtic welsh
Overdub in Danish would do.
If not, maybe in German.
After watching Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga, I can say that I trust Wit Studio giving the proper Brotherhood treatment for Berserk. Please let Wit animate Berserk after there are done with Attack on Titan.
MAD HOUSE
They probably won't.
Or ufotable
@@0bserver00 do you want one season?
@@davepatois297 Mad House did Hunter X Hunter 2012, so if the story is completed when they begin they'd probably do the whole thing.
It’s one of the best videos I’ve ever seen... wow I don’t know how to thank you! Great!
