Ep. 22: Is Vinland Saga the Anime show of 2019??
•
We go in depth on one of the best series premiering this year, Vinland Saga! This show is an adaptation of a Japanese historical Manga series by Makuto Yukimura. The series began in the Shonen Magazine aimed at young people and later moved to the monthly manga magazine Afternoon, which is more of a Seinen type magazine. The Anime began in the Summer 2019 season of Anime and was animated by Wit Studio. You may recognize the name from series like Attack on Titan and Kabenari of the Iron Fortress.
Vinland Saga is set in 1013 AD England, which has been mostly conquered by the Danish King Sweyn Forkbeard. As King Sweyn nears death, his sons, Prince Harald and Prince Canute, are arguing over his succession. The story draws elements from historical accounts of the period such as The Flateyjarbók, The Saga of the Greenlanders and The Saga of Eric the Red. - Wikipedia: Vinland Saga.
The story revolves around Thors the Ogre and his son Thorfinn. They carry on Viking tradition and participate in many battles. Thorfinn grows up far from home and works to become an elite fighter worthy of a seat in Valhalla.
