What a wasted opportunity
This take is really drunk-minded but I wonder if Japan celebrates its heroes as small, quick and agile because that's the only way they can compete after being btfo by taller societies such as the USA. Like a cultural cope of being generally weaker and smaller than Europeans. Sure western society also has heroes that outsmart and face insurmountable odds in strength discrepancy but usually their heroes are big and strong as they are (or could be) whilst fighting antagonists that are either numerable, devious or superhuman.
I read the manga thinking that it would be some cool adventure about vikings in north america.
Instead it's literally non stop depressing murder porn and war atrocities with over the top edgy characters. I stopped at the moment where he becomes some PTSD slave and I feel like his master and his whole family are going to be brutally slaughtered and tortured.
Japanese men and thus a large - probably majority - of their audience do not want to see blonde men being badass.
It's just simple as that. They are jealous of Europeans and consider them as "rivals".
As a result, Thorfinn being a good, brave, bold and brutal warrior would've been a far better narrative for one of the most violent ages in Northern Europe: the Viking Age.
To be honest, Vinland Saga tries to put Buddhist elements into it where it makes no sense whatsoever, that's the main issue.
t. I watched the anime 'til episode 18 then I dropped it. I hate pacifism with a passion.
>No, I will not slaughter fathers and sons who have done me no wrong. Instead, I work to build bridges between communities and foster a mutual cooperation towards the benefit of all mankind. >How could you tell?

No. Non lethal self defense isn't disallowed by pacifism.
I can scar your face and break your legs or cut off your hands or gouge out your eyes or smash out your teeth and as long as I don't kill you it's totally cool.

Clearly you do because you keep replying and whining after I slap you around like a redheaded step child
if there is one thing the current year has thaught us, then it would be that pacifism as an ideology has ultimately failed and is fricking useless. only blockheads and hippies who never made it out of woodstock still defend it.
Every time you voice an opinion can be thought of as an expression of force. You can normally get away with verbally expressing force, this would be the civilized way to do it. However, the leftoids and corporations do everything they can to stop you from expressing force verbally. Soon the only option will be to become physical and violent or be pacified forever.
You are cringe and deluded. Askeladd is one of the best characters in fiction in the last few years. Thorkell is great too. And both are true Vikang warriors who would rise through the ranks of any military they were put in.
And what was his end? Beheaded for no reason, leaving a huge gap in the plot and wasting more plot opportunity to something more similar to a more real Viking Saga.
So yeah, author is just going in ways that do not make any sense, plot wise.
Tl;DR - You are correct about Askeladd, author is still moronic.
The anime or the actual historical saga?
But as an aside. I really hate the current trend of every single piece of media being produced today not being catered to chldrem, man-children or women being some dark and edgy piece of murder-pornography were nothing good exists and theres nothing wonderous and everything is bad and horrible.
Like jesus christ reality does not work like this (It does work like this in part, but reality is not entirely like this)
I have the same gripe with portrayals of war. Any modern portrayals of war nowadays are marred by the fact that vietnam and gulf war veterans projected their experiences into every single other war in existence (except ww2 but that's not surprising)
Realistic depiction of war >you sign up for the benefits >get through basic >get deployed in some sandy shithole >drone compounds that never produce corpse >shoot as supposed hostiles, yet never get a confirmed kill >commit some war crimes >suck your buddies’ dicks >end your tour of duty 6 months later with 0 confirmed kills, still end some bullshit medal >go back to America, pretend you have PTSD and live like a welfare queen
No one wants to see a realistic depiction of war because it’s boring as hell
>I totally would have had a blast being gutted by a spear thrust in the stomach through my rusty chain mail, dying of a slow septic death. >I would totally be the cool viking bro and not arrow fodder for the psychopaths who can go in and murder screaming people with a sharp piece of metal and muscle power, close enough to smell them shitting themselves as they die >dude raiding towns full of women and children and slaughtering unarmed priests is totally badical >Dude an afterlife of nothing but unremitting slaughter between drunken revelry until the death of the earthly realms and the annihilation of mankind and the gods is a sweet afterlife
A literal child is smart enough to know fantasy from reality and yet you cannot distinguish the two
You know believe it or not, anon, most wars in that have ever happened were not like that. In fact those 2 or 3 wars were an exception to how war usually happened (not that it matters anyway because war is utterly unrecognizeable from what it was 100 years ago much less 200.) In fact you are playing into my point that boomers&friends end up projecting their tunnel vision view of what war is based around vietnam and shooting desperate sand nigs in al-sucmahdik region of carbombistan.
Well that's a war for today's scenarios, not for the Viking Age.
>Oh you don't like modern society? >Well guess what bucko you'd get like executed and all your females relatives raped because everyone was like sociopathic evil and they didn't even had instant gratification or soap and everything would be poopy and your life would be bad and you'd suffer much and like starve to death bro. That'll teach you to not disrespect the status Quo (pbuh)
Human society and it's future
Chapter 1
The socially compliant human and it's consequences has been a disaster for the human race
I hear they're at Vinland now. How is it? I'm an absolute sucker for Native American-Viking interactions but I haven't read anything past the first act and that was ten years ago.
vinland sage should have died with askaland it all went to shit from there
I kept on reading because what I had read was so good up until that point but once it got to the 2+meters tall burly space marine looking dude being women and the band just going with it I dropped it hard.
Skimmed a later chapter and they where just cool and nice hanging with the natives and talking with each other
And they skipped going to fricking Byzantium for this shit! Make me hate the mangaka.
But yea manga and anime are not historical and if you think so even for a moment you are dumb
famland saga > edgy boy & cnut >>> vinland >>> baltic war
i can't wait for everything to fricking fall apart, it's a shitfest
It really has been painfully boring since Farmland Saga. I finally had to drop it in this current arc.
I want to kiss young Thorfinn on the mouth and cuddle him on a cold night
Me too tbh
Young twink Thorfinn with messy blonde hair was cute as could be

troonyshit and muh wypipo bad
almost everyone's white in it though
current chapter is literal blaming whites for what they did to natives lmao , the author is massive homosexual

Instead it's literally non stop depressing murder porn and war atrocities with over the top edgy characters. I stopped at the moment where he becomes some PTSD slave and I feel like his master and his whole family are going to be brutally slaughtered and tortured.
lol i wouldnt have minded this. no it turns into generic shonen cucked shit
Thorfinn and Canute should've ended up gay married to eachother
No leftoids itt pls
Yeah, I know, sorry, most of the time I'm not a homosexual I promise
It all boils down to this:
Japanese men and thus a large - probably majority - of their audience do not want to see blonde men being badass.

He killed the fricking king you moron
Thorfinn didn't get his revenge after devoting his entire life to it. It was a turning point for his character.
Naruto, Ichigo, super sayans. They clearly think blond hair is cool.
Those are all JUMP! Shounen anime, though.
Vinland Saga is a Seinen, which unfortunately attracts a bunch of jealous midwits to their audiences.

Like god damn it. People of "normal" proclivities can be outright incoherent at times.
The orkney saga is also good.
very good post
Whoa, there is an actual Vinland Saga out there?
What's the name of the book?
>Checked
Boomers do project their experiences everywhere else indeed.
It's called the greenlanders saga y'see.
Apparently, there's also The Saga of Eirik The Red, as well.
I will read it sometime to wash down this gay disappointment of an anime.
I hear they're at Vinland now. How is it? I'm an absolute sucker for Native American-Viking interactions but I haven't read anything past the first act and that was ten years ago.
Vinland Sweyn is pagan, historical Sweyn was Christian. Vinland Canute is anti-Christian, historical Cnut was Christian
The anime doesn't even goes that far into a religious reality of the era, anyway.
It's just that shitty.
I would avoid it entirely.
Cnut converts to Christianity within two chapters
anime canute is a pseud and his philosophy is bullshit.
I mean yeah, he figures that out when the severed and rotting head of his father torments him in visions
Vinland Cnut is a dystheist/misotheist
vinland sage should have died with askaland it all went to shit from there
I kept on reading because what I had read was so good up until that point but once it got to the 2+meters tall burly space marine looking dude being women and the band just going with it I dropped it hard.

Unironically a lot of anime is racist and anti white.
Baki is particularly virulent in how much it hates whites, no wonder it got picked up by Netflix
it gets moronic when he turns into kenshin. just missing the reverse blade sword. you cant be a better kenshin than kenshin.
i read a few chapters and dropped that garbage generic as hell.
