Vinland Saga episode 1 discussion/reaction/comments by Japanese users

00:02 : The protagonist is based on a real person.
00:03 : The real deal.
00:06 : Thanks for the upload~♪
00:09 : Finally here.
00:10 : The kind where the protagonist suddenly becomes a saint and gets boring.
00:13 : Is this “Is This a Zombie?”
00:14 : I was fooled by the thumbnail, orn.
00:17 : It finally got animated.
00:18 : Originally from Romancing SaGa, right?
00:22 : I’m a girl, but I’m a huge fan! I’ve been waiting~!
00:23 : You’re into that?
00:27 : CG?
00:28 : Is scandalous.
00:31 : That was too much.
00:36 : Nice voice.
00:37 : Torkel is voiced by Ootsuka.
00:41 : Ootsuka-san is great.
00:42 : Dimples!
00:45 : Sparkling~☆
00:46 : I imagined Torkel’s voice to be more childish.
00:49 : The voice lacks childlike innocence.
00:52 : Seems like he’d cut allies too.
00:55 : A beautiful girl appears after this, right?
01:01 : Whoa.
01:04 : Is this a one-man army?
01:09 : When will the magical girl appear?
01:13 : Glad the character design is faithful to the original.
01:19 : This part is so cut down it feels like a digest.
01:22 : Ah, so that’s how he escaped.
01:23 : From a distance, it looks like the Battle of Red Cliffs.
01:26 : Zombie Land Saga! lol.
01:27 : Oh—.
01:30 : This isn’t how the actual Red Cliffs were.
01:31 : I see, it’s when they escaped.
01:35 : A relative of Zombie Land Saga.
01:36 : Did it start like this?
01:41 : Karlsefni-sama.
01:42 : Isn’t it supposed to start with the siege of a French fortress?
01:45 : Strongman.
01:48 : How did such a cute girl end up like that?
01:49 : Cute.
01:53 : The mountain’s sense of distance is off.
01:54 : I don’t really get it, but if it’s by the person behind Planetes, I’ll watch it.
01:57 : Well, even in Vinland, they end up fighting the natives anyway.
02:00 : Still so young.
02:03 : The year 1000 AD, huh?
02:04 : Starting with a flashback from episode one.
02:07 : Is that Mount Sefuri?
02:11 : Young Thorfinn is big.
02:14 : My favorite girl character in the series.
02:15 : Balalaika.
02:18 : Hotel Moscow.
02:19 : Ylva-chan.
02:23 : Balalaika in her twenties.
02:26 : Looks like Balalaika.
02:31 : Move, Gah!
02:32 : That’s naughty.
02:35 : Melting the snow might be faster.
02:36 : That cow looks strong, lol.
02:40 : Muscular cow.
02:43 : Melting the snow requires fuel too.
02:46 : No censorship on the nipples, is that okay?
02:47 : Is this Saga?
02:50 : There are three episodes.
02:51 : Genkai Sea.
02:59 : The cow’s milk looks so real, it’s surprising.
03:00 : How did such a cute girl end up like this?
03:04 : I love the original, but I wonder how far they’ll cover.
03:07 : Even children work, and you guys…
03:10 : Up to the end of the slave arc or when he reunites with his wife.
03:13 : Peat, nice detail.
03:16 : But if they end the boyhood arc, Thorfinn will just be a lousy protagonist, lol.
03:21 : ← They shouldn’t make children work.
03:25 : Could they cover up to the slave arc?
03:31 : It’s like Americans making samurai movies.
03:32 : Is it Greenland?
03:35 : Greenland was discovered by his father. Leif discovered America.
03:36 : Still has hair.
03:40 : Laputa really exists.
03:43 : Kyushu?
03:44 : There are traces of settlements even in historical records.
03:47 : There were multiple settlements historically, but it was too cold.
03:50 : They went before Columbus.
03:51 : The land where the gods reside, Crystania…
03:54 : Still had hair back then.
03:55 : They end up at war with the natives, though, in reality.
03:58 : Saga Prefecture.
04:01 : Vinland is around Canada now.
04:05 : Sa-ga-
04:06 : Around Newfoundland.
04:10 : Thorfinn Karlsefni Thordarson.
04:11 : Around Newfoundland.
04:14 : Around the year 1000. Middle of the Heian period in Japan. The Northern Song dynasty in China. The peak of the Eastern Roman Empire in Europe.
04:17 : So what if it leads to war? Are you saying that’s a bad thing?
04:21 : Conan was here.
04:22 : Lance Omédo.
04:26 : A comedian sang “S+A G A Saga!” lol.
04:27 : Compared to here, most places are warm.
04:30 : Leif the Lucky, a real person.
04:33 : Vinland += USA?
04:36 : This is a lie.
04:39 :
04:40 : So, Indians?
04:44 : Slavery and all that came during the Age of Exploration, over 400 years later. At this time, China was the most advanced.
04:45 : They naturally killed and enslaved people, lol.
04:50 : It led to war, so the anime is lying.
04:54 : North America?
04:55 : Yeah, even though it’s an anime, if it’s trying to be realistic, it shouldn’t lie.
05:02 : Isn’t the old man just changing the story to tell the kids? I don’t know, though.
05:03 : Telling war stories to kids is lame.
05:15 : Telling war stories to kids is lame.
05:16 : There should be natives.
05:29 : Is this the spot? lol.
05:30 : Lutz: “It’s like getting shot in the butt.”
05:33 : Nothing can be done about the sky.
05:36 : Saw this in SCP.
05:40 : Fufu—.
05:41 : The edge of the world.
05:51 : It’s a story from when people didn’t understand the earth well.
05:54 : There shouldn’t be tobacco in this era.
06:02 : Jormungand.
06:06 : Many new discoveries were made on the backs of reckless sacrifices.
06:09 : Living by the sea and not knowing its dangers—foolish village?
06:10 : He was the first to cross the Atlantic, a great man.
06:13 : He passed away, lol.
06:14 : It’s natural to admire strength.
06:18 : Adventuring in ships from this era feels more like a suicide mission than an adventure, lol.
06:21 : Foolish uncle.
06:25 : He’s competent…
06:29 : I love adventure.
06:36 : He said it firmly, lol.
06:40 : Old man, lol.
06:46 : It’s sad nowadays. Too late to explore the earth, too early to explore space.
06:47 : People who make excuses like that wouldn’t discover anything no matter when they were born.
06:51 : 80% of the deep sea is still unexplored.
06:57 : Ah, the cause of trouble has arrived.
07:01 : IT’S HERE——.
07:09 : Thors is literally a one-man army.
07:14 : Even the original’s battles are too fantasy-like.
07:15 : Serious person.
07:23 : Global cooling problem?
07:24 : Mom is beautiful.
07:27 : Ylva is 17 years old.
07:28 : Baa.
07:31 : Big sister!
07:34 : She’s one of the few beautiful girls. Who else is there after this?
07:37 : Ylva-chan.
07:38 : Boobs.
07:43 : Don’t drink from a penis case!
07:51 : Well, yeah.
07:55 : Penis case cup.
08:02 : There was a theory that it was warm before the Little Ice Age in the 14th century.
08:10 : Ni no Kuni.
08:15 : In the end, the Vikings in Greenland were wiped out.
08:16 : The Vikings in Greenland were eventually wiped out.
08:19 : What is this used game feeling, lol.
08:23 : It’s a dream…
08:24 : And then drown in a lukewarm yellow sea…
08:28 : Jomon people also crossed the world in dugout canoes.
08:29 : Vinland natives: “Please don’t come.”
08:34 : Onee-shota!
08:38 : When it’s cold, you crave human warmth.
08:41 : Ah.
08:42 : That’s unfair! I want to sleep with a shota too!
08:54 : If a beautiful older sister came in, I’d warm her up anytime.
08:59 : (*´Д`) huff huff.
09:00 : Big sister♂.
09:05 : She’s stronger than Saori Yoshida.
09:10 : She’s actually super muscular, right?
09:15 : Snow falling from above will sweep them away.
09:19 : Scary.
09:20 : The sister takes after their father and is strong.
09:26 : Is it like an appliance for them?
09:27 : The snow above will slide down.
09:31 : Ah.
09:32 : It’s not “kyaa.”
09:37 : Is that how they say it overseas?
09:38 : This is the kind of thing that causes deaths in Japan every year.
09:43 : My butt cracked.
09:44 : There is.
09:47 : Close call.
09:48 : Better not to find them…
09:53 : Ah.
09:54 : Is someone there?
09:57 : Eh.
10:00 : If it’s the sister, she could beat Torkel.
10:03 : Slave.
10:06 : Stylish necklace.
10:07 : Scary.
10:10 : A slave!
10:11 : The conscripted labor issue.
10:14 : If you give him a guitar, he might come back to life.
10:17 : They sure like the “slave” theme.
10:20 : How far did they go, lol.
10:23 : Where to?
10:28 : The creosote color is nice.
10:33 : Isn’t it persimmon tannin?
10:41 : Reminds me of Vicky the Viking.
10:42 : Bitch.
10:45 : Is it a warship?
10:48 :
10:56 : Stingy.
10:57 : Is the Ariake Sea harsh?
11:01 : Yikes.
11:08 : In this world, you can lose your life over the smallest things.
11:15 : Franklin’s team.
11:18 : This guy is quite the hero.
11:21 : He’s done for.
11:24 : Eating ice will kill you because it takes away your body heat.
11:27 : Did they eat meat?
11:33 : Turtle soup.
11:34 : Even so, not giving up on adventure is not ordinary.
11:39 : Did they eat him…
11:40 : Because he’s weak.
11:46 : Icelanders are really cruel.
11:47 : He’s alive?
11:51 : He should be dead.
11:56 : Got a slave.
11:59 : Impossible.
12:03 : His limbs are necrotic.
12:04 : Uhoh.
12:07 : That’s the work of a masochist.
12:08 : He was in a state of suspended animation, so maybe he survived buried.
12:11 : Wearing iron on your body would sap your body heat.
12:14 : Massage only.
12:19 : If it were realistic, Narou fans would go crazy… but it’s a guy, so they won’t.
12:20 : Did they have CPR back then?
12:24 : Is it rotting?
12:27 : Hand and foot necrosis.
12:30 : Run away.
12:31 : He’s dead.
12:35 : Necrosis guy.
12:38 : …
12:42 : Maybe because they’re kindred spirits.
12:43 : Gonna cause trouble.
12:52 : Whaling country.
12:53 : It’s cold even in Norway.
12:56 : Many fjords.
12:59 : Japanese people went all the way to the Far East.
13:06 : Araldo fishing gear.
13:09 : Beautiful hair king.
13:12 : Adult muramura.
13:15 : In some sci-fi, they were portrayed as aliens.
13:23 : Submit or die… it’s hard to tell if it’s merciful or cruel.
13:35 : Letting him go is kind.
13:36 : Submission.
13:39 : Why is there tobacco in this era?
13:42 : He got it from Indians.
13:43 : He said he got tobacco from the natives in America, didn’t he? Do you have such a short memory?
13:47 : Idiot!
13:50 : Slave.
13:51 : Even if you say that…
13:55 : Individual bravery can’t overcome overwhelming military power.
13:58 : So cold.
14:01 : Huff huff… creak creak…
14:02 : Sage.
14:05 : Japan isn’t a refuge. There’s a place nearby made by people fleeing China.
14:06 : Come back, Ishikawa.
14:09 : Ah.
14:15 : Just give up.
14:18 : Stop it.
14:25 : CPR is incredibly exhausting.
14:26 : No way.
14:32 : Knowing CPR and heart massage is impressive.
14:42 : Where are you from? What’s your territory?
14:49 : You can’t talk this much right after waking up, lol.
14:58 : Peat.
14:59 : Is this peat?
15:04 : Ah.
15:07 : As long as he’s compliant, H would be kind.
15:13 : Isn’t the collar stuck to his skin?
15:14 : The whole village might turn against them for harboring him.
15:18 : Iceland, huh.
15:26 : The greatest character in the series.
15:31 : Leif can stand up to Halfdan, so he’s definitely a “warrior.”
15:32 : Oh no.
15:38 : Slaves are property.
15:42 : Embodiment of law and order.
15:45 : Still 15 minutes in.
15:46 : Sig’s dad.
15:50 : That’s not true.
15:57 : As expected of white people.
16:00 : Is he an Andromeda Saint?
16:01 : Sig was strong back then.
16:05 : Then put it around your own neck.
16:06 : Sig is his son…
16:09 : It’s not Sig.
16:10 : That’s not Sig, lol.
16:13 : Enhanced Sig.
16:14 : The son is just a fool…
16:19 : This Sig looks strong.
16:22 : The incompetent are acting tough.
16:32 : Nebula.
16:35 : You’re good, young one.
16:39 : Losing limbs in a fight…
16:48 : He’s stopping them there.
16:55 : Oh, it’s not Sig.
16:58 : Bastard.
17:02 : Guh.
17:03 : Ouch.
17:06 : Hair.
17:09 : It’s Sig’s father.
17:13 : Sig’s ideal is this.
17:16 : Is Sig the same age as Arne?
17:17 : Kurapika: “Exactly.”
17:20 : That wouldn’t happen.
17:21 : I agree.
17:24 : It wouldn’t just hurt; bones would break.
17:28 : Say east or west.
17:31 : Slavs are the origin of the word “slave.”
17:34 :
17:44 : Oh, if he goes there, it’s the other world.
17:47 : Saga?
17:52 : Either way, with frostbite on all four limbs, living is hell.
17:57 : He’s dead.
18:00 : Better if he died.
18:09 : Ah.
18:10 : Why did you save him?
18:18 : Get him out quickly.
18:19 : The whole family got caught in a slave raid.
18:24 : Slavs have a history of nomadism.
18:30 : Vinland Saga.
18:37 : Finland?
18:38 : Collection.
18:46 : Ironic.
18:47 : They’re at war with the natives.
18:51 : The Native Americans will be massacred.
18:54 : Salvation of souls.
18:57 : But the Indians will shoot arrows relentlessly.
19:01 : They’ll have to flee back in 10 years.
19:06 : Saga is warm.
19:07 : Unlike history, this is fantasy.
19:13 : Ah.
19:18 : Don’t say “but” or “however” all the time, introvert.
19:19 : Ah.
19:22 : They’re found out.
19:23 : Oh, so that’s what they’ll do.
19:23 : Oh, so that’s what they’ll do.
19:35 : Wasn’t she a strong sister?
19:50 : Gentle uncle Halfdan.
19:59 : Two sheep and a young female.
20:00 : What?
20:04 : I’ll buy him.
20:09 : He said two sheep, why add more?
20:10 : There’s an idiot.
20:13 : Since they’re in a weak position, raising the price is natural.
20:16 : Huge.
20:19 : A potlatch competition?
20:33 : Why are they doing this? They’re quite poor themselves, and the slave is a complete stranger who’s about to die.
20:34 : If the story continues, you’ll understand eventually.
20:37 : They’ll starve.
20:40 : Halfdan is a good guy despite everything…
20:43 : In modern terms, it’s equivalent to the value of four light cars.
20:46 : Halfdan is right, after all.
20:49 : Don’t act indifferent.
20:50 : It’s a preachy anime.
20:55 : What are they doing?
21:05 : Only Har-san understands.
21:06 : They bought honor with money.
21:09 : The father is trying to create a world without slaves.
21:13 : Big sister…
21:14 : Big sister.
21:17 : Helping a complete stranger brings suffering to the family…
21:20 : If they don’t even have one sheep, it would be an amazing anime.
21:23 : Sheep…
21:27 : Big sister, lol.
21:28 : Instead of a loli, they bought an old man…
21:33 : Oh no.
21:34 : Rather, it’s Thors who can’t escape the chains.
21:38 : Considering the possibility of later trouble, this might have been the best decision.
21:39 : ← But he initially said two sheep…
21:42 : He didn’t say sell for two sheep.
21:45 : Well, what the big sister said is true…
21:46 : The usual refund is double, but he got charged four times.
21:49 : It was a matter of time…
21:50 : Take better care of your family.
21:54 : Those who shout unrealistic things in Japan are rich, or at least not in need. Maybe they’re on welfare, though.
21:58 : It’s not an easy life, idiot.
22:01 : They’re still children who can’t accept this.
22:04 : Nostalgic for toddler Thorfinn.
22:05 : From the east (Japan (Saga)).
22:08 : Hmm.
22:09 : Like our ancestors…
22:14 : Yeah, we escaped a food crisis in Africa 60,000 years ago.
22:17 : Is something coming?
22:18 : Let’s go to Saga.
22:21 : Is it Strong Zero?
22:22 : Falco.
22:25 : Crack!
22:29 : Why are there no comments?
22:32 : Why do you need comments? Are you lonely?
22:33 : If you hate the country and the law, are you an anarchist?
22:36 : Because there’s no moe loli element.
22:37 : ← Everyone’s engrossed, don’t make them say it.
22:41 : Well, we’re watching, lol.
22:42 : When does Franchouchou’s concert start?
22:45 : Not pandering to moe or ero at all is very refreshing.
22:46 : I’m really grateful to our ancestors who came to Japan.
22:47 : ← There will be lots of moe characters later…
22:49 : This solid story is great.
22:51 : I’m totally absorbed.
22:52 : It’s not progressing at all!
22:56 : If the actual serialization period until completion is only two or three years, readers’ lives change, and they can’t keep up.
22:57 : This is amazing!!
23:00 : All three episodes are up.
23:03 : In Japanese, please.
23:04 : Ylva is really good, isn’t she? It’s Nabatame.
23:08 : Continuing, lol.
23:12 : Feels like a movie.
23:16 : Aimer, huh.
23:19 : Sorry, I was asleep.
23:20 : The music is nice.
23:23 : As expected of Saga.
23:29 : Interesting.
23:30 : It’s too rugged for moe pigs to watch.
23:35 : They’ll cover at least up to the end of the first part!
23:38 : It’s made with care.
23:46 : Up to Thorfinn’s fall into slavery?
23:47 : The song is awesome.
23:50 : Almost an ideal adaptation.
23:51 : AIMER!! lol.
23:57 : It’s Aimer.
24:02 : Few comments, everyone’s engrossed.
24:08 : This has the smell of a grand epic.
24:09 : I love the setting of just before the Middle Ages.
24:13 : Is this what you’d call a grand anime?
24:18 : Ending here… ohhhhhhh.
24:19 : Reeks of connections, Aimer.
24:23 : There are three episodes today.
24:26 : The animation was great.
