How to establish a backstory

[aarongnr · 10/10 · 31 July 2019]

I have not read the manga so what follows are assumptions.

I assume, judging by what we see in the intro, that these first few episodes are meant as a character-building backstory to Thorfinn.

And it is brilliant. This is exactly how you do it. You give yourself time and give the story time to breath, in this case it's 80 minutes of pure awesomeness and the ultimate heartbreak of a childs loss to start it all.

So well done, can't wait to see more.

Welcome to Vinland Saga!

This is the first shocking moment of countless to come! But everything begins from this from here! Welcome to GOT (back when it was good) with Vikings and no dragons or ice zombies!

Great

This episode was amazing and from here i am fully hooked to this show and can not wait too see what we will get from here!

The first 3 episodes does a great job of establishing the characters and backstories, while this episode closes it all off with some amazing action and heartbraking moments! I shed a tear or two From here we know the main characters motivation and the presumable driving force for the show from this point on!

So far i love this show! It takes its time telling the story so that the important moments hit harder! The animation is also really solid as well as the action! If it continues to be as good as this episode it might become one of my favorite anime shows!

Great

Wow! It was amazing. This has to be one of the best anime of 2019

It was predictable but amazing none the less.

Another review has pointed this out already, it's like the death of Ned or Ragnar in their respective shows. But in my opinion this is one of the most predictable deaths not in a horror movie. I could see this coming from three episodes away.

The animation and the fight as a whole where incredible and the voice acting (english dub) were incredible in their own way. The writing is written in a way that leaves many things open for payoff beautifully.

Thors was my favorite character and he had a lot of depth. As soon as the fight started, I knew how it would end, but regardless it hit hard. Thorfinn is incredibly vulnerable now and this episode leaves off like it's a pilot. In fact, I believe the first four episodes could have been combined for a more cohesive story and pilot.

9.5/10 The only big flaw is the predictability of it all.

Really heart breaking

I understand why thorfinn did that! Cuz the other motherfxxr did not keep his word and he was afraid to his child and the other kids on the ship. But really I'm so mad because of his death.
