THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I really like the degree of realism in this show. They captured the harsh conditions of a cold weather pretty well if you ask me. The dialogoues about God and demons were also really interesting. Weather that cold with snow and wind is no joke. |

Quite an emotional episode this week. This episode, yet again, shows us that innocent people die in war for absolutely no reason. I feel like the author Makoto Yukimura wants us to understand that war, in all cases, is futile and that there is never a winning side, as there are always (both innocent and guilty) victims, which is something that I agree with. Not much Thorfinn and Canute in this episode, but it was still great. Overall, 5/5 |

Dark af episode. God this shit happens in real life. The realism is so graphic in this show. Easily my favorite episode even though it made me think of the Flordia Church massacre a couple years back. |

Oh God... Absolutely one of the best episodes, I loved every part of it. It hit me hard, just like in the manga. Thank you WIT for doing this part justice, thank you... |

What a brutal, and yet fantastic, episode. Maybe the best of the season. That final scene with Anne was so good. Out of emotions she might've been feeling there, I didn't expect "elated" to be one of them. A part of her was happy there were other people out there that didn't live their life in constant fear of kami-sama. |

Another shit episode. Characters that we don't care about, violence that we have seen countless times already. All of the people who comment on realism, how many burned villages we have seen already? What the hell you think that dane invasion is anyway. Everyone knows that innocent die, so what was the purpose of this episode. Also those two brothers didn't know why Thor died or who he was? That is idiotic, this show is going down the drain, but fanboys are too blind to see it. P.S. Also can people please stop going crazy about background and such, yes we got it it looks good, but how many episodes are we going to discuss it. |

This was just depressing and brutal. Great episode though. None of the civilians in this episode deserved that fate, it's saddening to know that humanity's past is full of such brutal and barbaric events. I can't even begin to think what it would've been like to live in those times, where human life meant to close to nothing. :( |

They really specialized in raiding the village, aren't they? Also, many people feel this episode is different, well they're correct, this is the first episode without Thorfinn. |

Oof just like in the manga this was one of the most disturbing/painful episodes due to its realism. I'm really glad WIT did a good job with it. Perfectly establishes the violent world that was Europe more in detail during that time for the innocent civillians. |

It also confirms once and for all that for all his popularity (and yes he's a great and interesting character), Askeladd is also a vicious, ruthless villain of a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his aims. |

This episode was pretty brutal. In any way and many discussed and talked about. War is very ugly no matter what. Many innocents die and they always suffer for it in the end when it comes. |

Holy.. What an incredibly crafted episode. A gruesome reminder to what kind of people we're actually following. They can be portrait and seen as normal or decent warriors in other scenes and moments, when in reality they are the furthest thing from it. One of the best episodes so far. Last week's episodes animation was severely lacking but this one made up for it. Incredible facial and mouth animation (someone definitely had a teeth fetish) Directing was superb as well. This episode was definitely needed as I felt the tension and the atmosphere was lacking in the last couple of episodes. |

Damn. Even though I read the manga, seeing this scene again was just...painful. Sure, there was a scene prior to this one where a village gets masscared, but it didn't go into as much intimidate detail as here. Vinland Saga isn't exactly one of the goriest anime, but it's definitely one of the most painful to watch, because you just can't root for the main characters at all. Thorfinn makes post-Eclipse Guts look nice in comparison. Thorfinn isn't like Guts; even though Guts was cold-hearted in the beginning of Berserk, he didn't team up with people who killed innocents, and he even showed remorse in a few scenes. At the same time though, that's why I like Guts more than Thorfinn; Guts is more complex, and it's harder to figure out his mental state of mind. twoego said: Uhh, that was really dark... Felt like I was brought back to reality for a second, a reminder that Askeladd isn't a very nice person, truly reminds me why Thorfinn wants to kill him so bad. The fucked up thing is that Thorfinn doesn't want to kill Askeladd for the atrocities he's done, other than killing his father. |

Which characters is that? The nobodies that got killed, Askellad, priest who makes no sense and pretends to be some kind of deep meaning? Also considering thorfin has been trying to kill askellad for years, I am pretty sure that everyone knows who Thor was and how he was killed. The pacing is extremely slow and episode after episode don't cover anything? Why is the religion here anyway, is the story going anywhere. I read the manga years ago and loved it, but I don't remeber it and most likely I had hundreds of chapters to read so garbage like this didn't bother me. This episode was 90% pointless. Everyone talks slowly like they are retards and they don't even make sense. I am complaining because there is no value in the 20 min episode and people are wanking over background.

Even though I miss Thorfinn in these latest episodes, they are still great. Interesting to see the perspective of different people, including the priest. When they showed the family it was obvious they are all going to die and the inevitability makes it even sadder. The girl with the ring, so cute. I mean, her petty worries about some ring when people do worse things without any remorse, it's cute that she thinks that's what will separate her from the family in heaven. Well, at least now she can sell the ring and probably survive somehow, I doubt we'll see her again but I don't mind if we do. |

This episode just reminded me why Askeladd is a fucking prick and so are the rest of his crew and why I used to hate them. The day this man dies will be just satisfying af and seriously Thorfinn, no reactions out of him at all. You'd think murdering civilians would get a reaction out of him. Otherwise the episode nailed off what they wanted to do which was to show the levels of horror these kinds of people go through and the kinds of people who would commit these atrocities. |

You're supposed to feel that way. Askeladd didn't have his men raid the village for nothing, if he didn't then he and his men were going to die. It was them - or him. And he chose them.

First episode i stopped. I guess i can't do it anymore, the rape and killing done by askelaad and his group is just too fucking much. I get the realism of the time. But i just can't enjoy watching characters going through comedy moments and making funny quips because they think they are cool and then murdering an entire village or raping all the women around. It's just not entertaining to me to follow these types of characters. |

Very depressing and dark episode. To think there indeed were times when the innocent were slaughtered so severely, when people really thrived. Liked the realism and the subtext in the episode, where in Christianity it implied that the end is nigh. Askellad has made up his mind to push through. |

The last two pints are not valid, once again it will idiotic for 100 people not to know the entire story of thor, considering how much it has been discussed. Last one is that I can enjoy shounen and other, but if the show has pacing issues and doesn't make sense it will bother me. |

Everyone talks slowly like they are retards and they don't even make sense. I am complaining because there is no value in the 20 min episode and people are wanking over background. So why doesn't the priest make sense? He is an example that he was always listening to his own hypocrisy, and when we finally have his recent moments, which are for something deep or something average, they become complementary. There is no construction without these little things, and the anime works slowly on it, fitting in a few, or wanted something extremely forced and crushed? Religion is the strong point of this arch, especially about the Priest and Canute own questioning when 'these' scenes occur (this is not a spoiler here). Knowing is different from meeting fully, they see 1% of the person Thors was, and both were unconscious at the time Thors was killed, the anime didn't give them a single touch, so why the hell would they know directly how he was? If the fact that the same happens after the fall of Thors, they do not carry as memorable for their lives, they all have their goals what fill in their head with it, practically Thorfinn has no major impact on the lives of these Vikings except Askeladd. Have you ever watched Monster or Erin? Do you know what is the most important step for the progress of a narrative? The preservation of an atmosphere, an episode without this, becomes a coreless episode, the stories are just poorly structured, some lucky enough to hold, what you say is the kind of saying: '' Ah, this episode hunter x hunter only had dialogue, so he's useless and bad ''. An example of another famous anime, this kind of comment already says a lot about someone who is not immersed in anything displayed, and if it really is, then it may be superficially. > Characterization of the priest > Approach a different perspective among massacres victims > Also reinforce how brutal and focused on Askeladd (after this episode creates, that there are no more scenes of the kind, so I think he corrects that, there Askeladd is not the hero everyone thinks) > The plot needs to progress doesn't it? How will they take shelter this winter? Here was the first step, which then gives the consequences for what comes next. > And Anne will be important for the next episode too, if you have read the manga, know what happens next, which becomes a consequence. ALSO: the way they put this girl, a character who is in a very religious family and she was going out of the way and was afraid of being punished by God, but her greed was high and she couldn't get rid of the ring. And then they introduced the Askeladd which is something that is not afraid of punishment and goes only with the focus of achieving their goals and keeping their men alive, and with the death of the village people he ended up giving "salvation" to the Girl who now knows that if worse people than her are not being punished, he will not be punished either and again this comes into effect in the future episode. But i following your concept, it's just useless, isn't it? |
