Vinland Saga is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video in the US.
Vinland Saga is a manga series by Makoto Yukimura which has been ongoing for fourteen years. It’s a mature fan-favorite that’s about as far from Japanese culture as you can get. Set a thousand years ago in Viking-occupied England, Vinland Saga is a grand epic of historical fiction that has defied adaptation, until now. Thanks to Amazon Prime Video, the anime of Vinland Saga has finally hit our screens, and it is spectacular. Here’s why it should be your anime of choice for this summer season.
The first thing you’ll notice after watching episode one of Vinland Saga is also the first thing to praise about the show: it’s a slow burn. And that remains true through episodes two and three as well. But Vinland Saga isn’t a frustrating watch; it’s perfectly-paced, carried along by just the right amount of tension and intrigue. Director Shuhei Yabuta and the team at Wit Studio understand with pinpoint accuracy, the tone that must be set for a show about discovery, both personal and global. Vinland Saga is visually stunning, allowing you to drink in its art, music, sound, and story.
