Story:

The story takes place in the 11th century in Northern Europe; Thorfinn from a young age always dreamed about becoming a strong warrior so he would be able to enter the place called "Valhalla". Once Thorfinn tried to get his hands on a sword and he was confronted by his father Thors; Who told him that a true warrior doesn't need a sword.

▶

Thors Is later killed by Askeladd in order to protect his village and his son. Thorfinn Asked Himself: "Why did he let go of his sword; how could he say a warrior doesn't need a sword?" Thorfinn decided to do the opposite of what his father said in order to get his revenge on the man who killed his father.

The thing about Vinland Saga is that they want to tell you that the cycle of life continue but it will eventually stop; and the one who will stop it in this story is Thorfinn. The moment he decided to not kill Askeladd while he was asleep was the moment he broke the cycle.

Characters:

The characters in Vinland Saga are a type of characters you usually don't see in most other anime; you can feel their emotions and their pain. Thorfinn is a character who is filled with hate, with one purpose; killing the man who killed his father. Askeladd is a character who only care about money. the thing is there are no heroes in the story, everyone acts like real humans, and everyone hurt someone or will get hurt by someone else.

Animation & Audio:

There is not much to say about the animation other than that the backgrounds are nice, and its clean... i mean, it is wit studio they never miss.

When we talk about the audio there is not much that i remember; But there was one which made me have goosebumps which was Thorfinn letting go of his sword; making us enter a new page in his life which would be the second season of Vinland Saga.

Enjoyment:

To me Vinland saga was one of the most enjoyable anime to have ever seen, it can bring a lot of emotions out of you based on what kind of person you are.

Summary:

When the moment hit, it hits hard. The story of Vinland saga is a real tale, a tale which is based on a real story with real people in real places. Every single one of those moments left an impact on every single one of us, even if its small.
