Vinland Saga
| They’re similar in some aspects I guess, but I’ll always recommend Blade of the Immortal. I think it’s very underrated/unknown, and it was a really fun, crazy read/watch. Definitely recommend the manga first and foremost, considering the anime adaptations don’t cover 100% of the content, and skips some things. But like others are saying, Vagabond and Kingdom as well are phenomenal. |
Feerhen said: What are some anime similar to the Vinland saga? Vinland Saga, Kingdom, Berserk and Vagabond are usually considered as the Four Horsemen of Seinen in the manga community, categorized for having a fair bit of similarities in themes, story, genres, etc. So if you're for up for some peak stuff, then you know what to do. But Vinland Saga is the privileged one to have an actually good adaptation by Wit Studios (now Mappa but same thing) unlike the rest, so I wouldn't personally recommend starting them from their animes. And I dunno if you're gonna bother with Western TV shows, but if you do, I highly recommend checking out The Last Kingdom and Vikings. They all (VS included) are set around the same time period with the Danes and English so if you're looking for something that's similar in the viking genre, you're up for a treat. Hope you enjoy them! |

Hope you enjoy them! Monster,Berserk,Vagabond and Vinland Saga are considered as Four Horsemen of Seinen Manga...Kingdom is also Seinen and is good but its not included in the four horsemen Funnily enough everyone I met on discord who knows anything about the four group thingy always considered Kingdom a part of it, they're refered to as one because they all share warfare, tactical combat, action and alike, and most of them are based on famous old myths or historical events. Monster is yes, obviously pretty much one of the best portrayals of nihilism vs anti-nihilism but it doesn't have as much similarities in the other 4 (it's more of suspense mystery/thriller). But then again, it's quite literally just a fan term so it has no real evidence behind it lol. |
