its an amazing show, it doesnt match the SNK's suspens and story but the visuals, the music and the emotions are amazing

Cation

So glad that you are enjoying it already. Amazing show!

FILMBuFF

Oh that would have been really nice, it’s certainly slightly more poetic and nuanced.

FILMBuFF

Oh yeh, I know about Leif Ericsson 👌🏼 had an Oh Canada moment In The discussion 😁

FILMBuFF

Indeed the pacing of the episode was most welcome.

FILMBuFF

It really was such a fantastic opening episode.

FILMBuFF

Stuff like Code Geass and Re:zero are not on my watchlist at the moment. Things can always change down the line. For now the focus is on the ones I really want to check out, and there’s quite a bit to get to.

FILMBuFF

WIT has it on lock 👏🏼 Great Pretender looks interesting as well.

FILMBuFF

Had to push it back a bit, quality issues after a few renders, YT compression is a bitch. part 1 will drop this week 👌🏼

FILMBuFF

Ohhh the first 3 episodes dropped at the same time eh. That certainly explains the structure of the first episode.

FILMBuFF

This really is the perfect choice after Shingeki. The poll came clutch ✌🏼

Really wanna see you react to Fate/Zero once you finish this! Im sure you will love Vinland Saga a lot

I like the attention to detail with this show. When they show Vinland, they put natural domestic flowers which are found in Canada.

On a side note, I'd prefer a more literal translation for one of Thors' lines. Nothing wrong with translation, mind you, but I find literal one to be slightly more poetic and nuanced. When Thors talks about Vinland to the dying slave, he said "it's a land without slave traders and war." in translation. Original goes "it's a land which neither slave traders nor the flames of war can reach." For some reason I find the notion of not only being in place without slave traders and war, but in place where they don't reach, and will not come one day a bit more... mmm... reassuring?

So happy you started this one, of the top anime that year! <3 And BTW Leif Ericson is said to be the first scandinavian/european who crossed over to North America precisely in Canada. 500 years before Columbus

Vinland Saga has a phenomenal OST! It has this distinct mix of orchestra, horns and synthies, and is just great.

I'm very tempted to share a youtube link of opening parody. It's awesome lol Vinland Saga opening, but it's Frozen. Check it out people.

Martin

You're gonna love this show Im. I've been on about this like a broken record in your comments before, but it can't be said enough haha. So happy you're finally going to experience my 3rd favorite show after AoT and Avatar TLA. <3

RaijinCloud

That first scene is so special to me, it tells you a lot about Thors and the story as a whole. I like that the show really takes its time with this first episode, we linger on every moment and the visuals/OST really help with letting everything sink in. Very excited to go through S1 again.

Raykel

That would be really great one day

Spooderman Xx[MLG]xX

Man hopefully one day he can react to Re:Zero and Steins;Gate as well.

I absolutely love this show, can't wait to see your journey with it!

Daniel Jorgenson

Tremendous show

Zero 陰陽

watching this with you and the OST completely blew me away this episode

I’ll be watching this with you lol

Sarah S

I LOVE these first few episodes. This show has an amazing start

Wilhelm Neumann

He need to watch Re Zero

RandomThorn

Looking forward to this despite it not being the top of my list (I think the show is amazing I just couldn't get into as much as others). I am still a complete shill for Re:zero and hope there is a time you can get to it, but with the large list of great anime I would not be surprised if that is a big dream

Omegav21

WIT Studio... <3 You will love this anime for sure

Shay

You are in for a wild ride, this is one of the best amines I have ever seen. Any update on rdr2? You said it was going to start on Thursday

Ck Otaku

I'm gonna love this, best anime of 2019

Jonas

This show is historically accurate, it is based on Viking history and sagas (And of course there is fictional parts in the show it but nothing that derails from the actual history) The author took liberties in parts where the actual history isn't clear or missing (like some character personnalities, childhood and stuff like that) They actually released the 3 first episodes at the same time, so the 3 first episodes are all kinda like a whole big first episode to the show.

John

As Levi once said to Armin in after the battle for Shinganshina. "Vinland saga. You'll never be Shingeki's replacement. But, I know you have a strength no other show has but you. I won't regret watching you". In all seriousness though. I loved your AoT reactions and discussions and plan on sticking around to see your thoughts on Vinland Saga. I binged it for the first time recently to prepare myself to watch it with you. Its going to be a good time.

Mahni Alizadeh

Oh my god I love this anime

demesy hugo

AOT is more of a Seinen as well

Polygon

YESSSS!!! So glad to see you finally react to a Seinen show instead of a Shonen. Seinen's are generally darker and more mature in tone and focus more on themes and storytelling than flashy battles so they can seem a bit slower, but I'm excited to see your take on this masterpiece! Vinland Saga's also done by WIT studio which did the first 3 seasons of AoT! Hope to see you react to more Seinen in the future (my personal recommendation is Psycho Pass! Think Minority Report but anime) :)
