Zero_Tactility posted:Yukimura's previous manga, Planetes, is also fantastic and recommended. The Planetes manga is very good but the anime not so much.

Eh, it's a different beast that does things differently, I wouldn't necessarily call it bad. Just... well, different from the manga. It's also sorta interesting in that it also shares a chunk of its main staff (same main series director, scriptwriter/series composition, 2 of the 4 producers and even the music of Kotaro Nakagawa) with Code Geass.

I'm the sort of person who prefers anime to manga as my mode of consuming a story (at least the first time around), but I'd really like to continue Vinland Saga no matter what happens. Does anyone have a sense of how long we might have to wait for an announcement of a second season?

At least if you read the manga, it looks REALLY loving good and flows extremely well.

I have convinced my 68 year old mother to watch Vinland Saga with me. Given how well attempts at getting her to watch anime with me went between 15 and 20 years ago (leading to that gap being the last time I tried), she was quite accommodating, and has stuck with it to episode...13, I think? Askelaad just cut off the messenger's head. She seems to be enjoying it, generally speaking, though she isn't a big fan of graphic violence or, well, anime. It was hilarious that she immediately noticed that Ylva was the anime-mannerisms-specific comedic relief character on Iceland by the end of the first episode, despite almost a decade and a half of 0 anime exposure. Also, I joked upon proposing it to her that it'd be like all of the Scandanavian crime dramas she loves so much, but, you know, animated, and in Japanese, and set a thousand years ago. Also, she immediately noticed how old Sweyn looked even when he was completely cloaked in shadow in his first appearance, and managed to retain her suspension of disbelief for the Keel-Buster and the Log-Droppers, but couldn't hold back her bark of laughter at the thrown torso-sized rocks aimed at Canute's camp, which got me laughing, too.

Nice. My mom always looks a bit bored and slightly condescending whenever I try to tell her about things I'm watching so I gave up a long time ago.

I already posted about watching the series with my dad, who's a big fan of the actual Viking sagas. Thorkell is his favorite (because Thorkell's everybody's favorite), but he's hype to meet Gudrid down the line.

I’m reviving this thread. Hello from 3 years in the future. The world is poo poo. Vinland saga s2 was really good. That’s all.

Season 2 was so drat good. It’s a shame that Vinland Saga’s anime doesn’t seem too popular because this is one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen. I’d honestly recommend the anime over the manga and I’m almost never going to do that.

I’d honestly recommend the anime over the manga and I’m almost never going to do that. The show got pretty good Japanese TV ratings in season 1 for a midnight anime, and season 2 usually makes the top 5 on Crunchyroll for popularity this season. (For example, it has about 6 times as many upvotes for the last episode as the latest episode of Gundam, even if it only got half the number of Tomo Chan's finale.) The Blu-ray sales are absolute garbage, but it doesn't seem like the show's ignored or forgotten entirely.

Only the studio cares about bluray sales, the production committee only cares if it moves those sweet sweet tankobons. We'll have to wait and see on that.

The latest volume sold about 50K week 1. That's above Black Clover and Sakamoto Days in Jump, for context. Not a jaw dropping megahit, but for a slow paced adult aimed monthly that's been going for nearly two decades now, it's solid enough.

Man the last episode is right where I left off in the Manga back when they first came out. How much longer must I wait?!

I'll have to reread to double check but the second season of the anime seemed much closer to the manga than season one. While it definitely wasn't bad I did feel like the first season made some choices that were for the worse.
