It makes you really wonder how strong Vikings were back then without our technology. They worked hard just to survive and prove themselves the strongest!
It's speculated that their women were particularly strong too, since they had to do all the work (not just what would be expected of them in other cultures, ALL the work) while the men were at war, raiding, etc. They depict this in this show too, remember when Ylva found out that his father and brother were dead? Ye, that's probably accurate.
There are dudes irl who can lift a smart car alone by hand. I imagine with incredibly buff brawlers it's possible to actually lift a ship but they probably won't be able to run so fast and so far. Not to mention the forest won't allow a whole drakkar to pass through.
@@caliqm2199 Ships like this shouldn't weight much. They're not that big, one dek and made of wood. The hardest part would be barnacles ripping through flesh when you try to lift a ship from sides and bottom.
@@caliqm2199 "The longships were characterized as graceful, long, narrow, and light, with a shallow-draft hull designed for speed. The ship's shallow draft allowed navigation in waters only one meter deep and permitted arbitrary beach landings, while its light weight enabled it to be carried over portages or used bottom-up for shelter in camps." Just like I thought, turns out hey actually did that. It's sort of beach and breach ship, where you can just run into the beach with no consequence, to jump from it straight to shallow waters and attack immediately.
the sprint thing is fake but moving the ships overland like that was a tried and true trick that a number of takes. For long boats too big to carry like that they would roll them on logs instead.
@@stephen7587 nah like the story starts with this event and "present day" thorfinn (15 or however old he is at this point in the story), then after we've gotten this sick fight scene and some other stuff that happens after it to really get us invested in his character and wanting to learn more it skips back, to show him as a happy kid living in iceland and then everything going wrong, and then once we've gotten his whole tragic backstory it jumps forward again to "present day" thorfinn and we go chronological from there
fair enough, personally i found it much less engaging because we’re just watching thorfinn be (in my opinion) a tiny little brat for like 4 episodes before really getting into the meat of the story, plus the first chapter of the manga just does such a good job of establishing so many key points of the story right out the gate, which is an advantage i feel the anime loses a bit by going chronological
Agree. Black Cat was also told chronologically which makes no sense as it took away much of the mystery and intrigue about the characters backstory. Vinland wasn’t “as bad”, as it wasn’t set up to be mysterious. I do think they could have even not told the flashback arc and let it dripped through the rest of the story, easily, and the impact could remain as great. For example GoT didn’t start with the end of the civil war, yet its shadow haunted the rest of the story.
Yeah , longships were not heavy (they were made to be able to sail down rivers and transport them across land) , but the way depicted here is dramatized . More likely they'd do it by putting the boat on logs and just rolling it down .
My brother in Christ, have you ever fired a bow? Damn things are so inaccurate over any amount of distance, not to mention trying to hit a moving target
Good point, actually I thought that with so many of them firing that atleast ONE of them would hit the target, especially as he was running in a straight line, then I realised: this is anime, where your accuracy with a ranged weapon depends on your importance of the story, my bad, I apologise
Archers were not accurate, historically speaking. In the first place accuracy of individual archers was not valued as it was not important in the vast majority of battles, volume of fire was.
@@lordcthulhu8472 Still, because of the fact that Askeladd travelled to the Faroe islands it is very probable that his ships were of the ocean going type. The longships of this type were usually no heavier than 6 tons.
Viking longships were extremely light compared to ships like galleons. They had a low keel for navigating rivers, but they were also capable of traveling across seas. Since these are dragonships, designed for trans-oceanic voyages, they are of course heavier, but I doubt they're even over ten tons.
I’ve never seen the Vinland Saga anime, I just read the manga, but I’m glad I didn’t watch it. This feels boring in comparison to the manga. I can’t really explain it that well, it just feels like there’s less soul in the anime. Manga has always been an art to me, I find it very inspiring that people can find the motivation to draw such great panels. Maybe I don’t know enough about how much goes into producing an anime.
Well ima just tell u this rn, this show was beautifully animated, it doesn’t get much better than this so get ready to be disappointed more in the future
All I can say is that our imagination give us what we what to see. I have also experience this, when I have read the novel I've imagined the scene so epic that it even have sound effects.
To be fair though, this was like the show's one episode where the writers seemed to be on a lunch break. If there was one episode I could remove from the whole season, it would be this one.
@@sageoftruth There have been some other scenes in the beginning as well which made me go what is this lol. Was kinda disappointed because I really thought it would be a realistic seinen but I dropped it eventually.

want realistic? go watch a documentary. Its an anime meant to be entertaining, 'historical anime' is just based around historical events. Like the good old assassins creed games
Did you miss the part where the kid with the daggers jumped like 50 feet in the air to clear the moat? It's an anime, don't think about it too hard. Real world vikings actually were in fact known to move their ships over land short distances between bodies of water, but they'd only be able to carry relatively smaller ships while really big ones were probably rolled on logs.
Well- tell that to the Rus-vikings that travelled through the rivers of kiev and what were future ukraine. They carried their ships from rivers to rivers all the time so they could surprise raid from closed lakes/river systems.
