    I'm more or less not seeing it because Canute as a girl would make no sense.

    In Fate, King Arthur being a girl pretending to be a man made sense because they were in need of a man holding the crown for stability etc. etc.

    But here? "He's" the second in line, the King has no need for a weak successor and it would only hurt the kingdom.
    How or with whom would he switch places anyway? Unless he has a twin sister and it's her we are seeing right now, it wouldn't be possible. After all, the hair doesn't grow over night and in the end he'd still look like a girl.

    It should also be noted that Vinland Saga's world is loosely based on actual history, with many characters being actual historical figures.

    So even if you aren't a reader of the manga, you can know things about certain characters and events just by knowing history.

    Episode 12

    ---------------------------------------

    Can't help but think that this show keeps on being interesting. Even when they don't do much and march for a whole episode. The stuff that is happening in the background and on the side manages to hype me up for the next episode. I like the way it tackles all kind of different topics, such as danes who are slowly being drawn to christ.
    I'm glad it's 24 episodes

    I like it, but had very different expectations. Instead of Berserk minus fantasy, I got Dragonball Vikins Editions. That's fun, too, but initial comparisons made by other people made it harder to get into.

    That's stupid. It's 100% the former, and it's dumb to come away thinking it's the latter...

    How is it not?
    How is it even remotely close to Dragonball but not Berserk?

    Just because they can jump 6 meters instead of 3?
    Or cut through 5 people?
    'Guts' what happens in Berserk?

    Guts is the main character and THE point of the series: He's a human who's so inhumanely seeking to become stronger that he slowly but surely surpasses human limits.

    In Vinland Saga, EVERY person who's Important has super-human strength to the point where I had to laugh out loud (Thorkell throwing stoned all the way abive the river onto the enemy camp? Lol).

    It's literally polar opposites:

    Berserk: grounded world with some fantasy
    Vinland Saga: fantasy with the visual coating being our real world

    Yeah dude. They're fucking VIKINGS! This is one million percent historically accurate.

    Episode 18

    ------------------------











    Well that doesn't make much sense. The prince had an epiphany, sure... but.. yeah, I don't even know where to start taking this apart.

    Thorfinn vs Thorkell was exactly like a boss battle. Good stuff.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    It's like he went from zero to Griffith in less than 30 minutes.

    I wish the Berserk comparisons would stop :z the 2 series are tonally polar opposites.

    Then stop comparing them? Lul wut

    It's not like we were the ones who went in here expecting "berserk minus fantasy"
    At the same time, Vinland Saga is most definitely not the polar opposite of Berserk.
    Hyperbole much?

    Oh yeah! He gettin' so Griffith!

    Sucks about Bjorn, I liked that character. But I guess he'd be redundant with Thorkell around.

    These episodes end so fast.

    I do hope they'll announce a season 2.
    And that the next season has the same quality.
