Young Thorfinn has grown up with tales of a legendary land, Vinland. A fertile, beautiful land where there is no reason for fighting. A stark contrast to his icy homeland, ravaged by conflict and struggles, where survival is tough. When war breaks out between England and the Danes, Thorfinn finds himself in the middle of this conflict and must join one side as a mercenary – witnessing and inflicting many atrocities that will leave a mark on him for life.
And then there is the man who killed Thorfinn’s father, and whom he wants to take revenge on…
Why is Vinland Saga suitable? Vinland Saga impressively shows that anime is much more than just “children’s series,” as the world is brutal and merciless. The alternative narrative of the Vikings and their conflicts provides exciting action while also offering some thought-provoking moments. A multitude of multifaceted characters and a touch of brutality ensure engaging entertainment with an important, profound message that resonates long after watching.
