When decent CGI is featured on Land of the Lustrous or when Kill la Kill uses limited animation to save budget while oozing originality, I find it odd that WIT failed to achieve harmony. Allying with either side will cause a massive swing in the balance of power, and the vikings are happy to make names for themselves and take any spoils they earn along the way. I do not consider this to be a great anime, let alone the AoTY; for all (or actually, because of) my love of medieval history, I couldn’t resist reviewing this too ambitious-for-its-own-good work. All of these things add up to the fact that Vinland Saga is probably not getting canceled after the upcoming second season.

Critics praised Vinland Saga for its fluid action sequences, remarking how well author Yukimura made the transition to the action genre from his previous work Planetes. Inspired after reading the manga, Yamada wanted the music to represent the psychological states of Thorfinn and other characters. If you’re ready to embark on this epic adventure, then be ready for a 24-episode saga like you’ve never experienced before.

A negative aspect was the presence of pop and Japanese culture references; a moving Star Wars reference, the protagonist Naruto-running and others, this trend continuing to the second arc, without contributing to anything.

What really ticked me off however was the event that kick started the revenge arc: rather than brush aside his morals to defend nail and tooth his own son and kinsmen, Thors resorts to punching and preaching to a bunch of pirates, whose leader is willing to exploit anything and anyone for the sake of his goals. Criticism was, however, levelled at the extent of suspension of disbelief in a historical fiction series. The airing of the 10th episode was delayed for a week due to media coverage of the impending arrival of Typhoon Faxai. The series is licensed in English by Kodansha USA, and it is being released in a two-in-one hardcover edition. After witnessing his father's death as a boy, Thorfinn vows revenge on Askeladd, the man responsible, and joins his band in hopes of killing Askeladd in a fair duel.
