Sindai posted:It's been so long I have absolutely no idea how Floki was involved in Thors' death. He told Thors the Jomsvikings wanted him back and wouldn't take no for an answer after discovering Thors had faked his death. This was total BS and the Jomsvikings had no idea Thors was still alive. Floki paid Askeladd to kill Thors for him in an ambush, Askeladd theorises that Floki was worried about so many losses he wouldn't be able to hid what he had done from the leader of the Jomsvikings. Presumably Floki did this for the same reason he's trying to have Thorfinn killed etc., to stake his claim and his grandson's claim as leader of Jomsburg.

Pewdiepie posted:He hired Askeladd. This. To elaborate, Thors was a Joms leader and married to the chief's daughter, so he could have been a pretender to chiefdom when the chief bit it, so Floki decided to get rid of him. That's also why Thorfinn got involved in this: he's Thors' son, and grandson of the former chief, so a faction within the Joms wants to make him the new chief.

It's nice to see Vinland Saga is finally getting a show. Surprised to see that it took that long for it to happen. Seemed like it had a consistent level of popularity and also seems like a really easy sell abroad as well, given the subject matter. (Although, I'm not sure how often studios take international interest/sales into account.) Hopefully it's good! Also, maybe I'll start the comic back up. I was enjoying it a while back but just sort of stopped. Probably just got busy with other things I guess.Mighty Dicktron posted:Allegedly everything announced in that bunch of announcements is going through Amazon Prime, so it's unlikely Funimation will be involved. Is Amazon actually contributing any money to the production itself or just bringing it over? (Only ask since I know Netflix will sometimes contribute cash to shows for exclusive rights, etc...) Bro Dad posted:This is really good and I teared up a lil at the ending, would recommend Glad to see you liked it! My word-soup of a recommendation doesn't sell it well enough in retrospect, but it really is a good read and a nice, surprisingly intimate, take on a well known story.

What a chapter. After so much time, we finally see Sigurd realizing that Gudrid is kind of terrible and he should just go home.

Having a few anachronisms doesn't make anything trash. Seriously, the manga is really good, despite Florentine Painters having their own guild before they did historically.

The level of betrayal I felt when Arte anachronistically featured a Florentine painters' guild tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. It tore away my ability to respect anything, and it tore away my ability to feel human.

Somehow I missed Arte, and the discussion about it, entirely. I'll chalk it up to being really distracted with work stuff recently! Seems like it could be right up my alley so I'll give it a shot. Thanks thread! Also, I know it was said in jest, but I do think there are certain types of stories, or contexts/instances within stories, where ahistoricism or anachronism can be detrimental. The aforementioned example doesn't seem to be one of those, but there are definitely ones that would've been more interesting/entertaining if they drew more from history rather than popular or longstanding narratives and conceptions of the particular era in question.

This was just posted in the "Convince to Read" thread, and it's been really good so far! Set during Imperial China (it's not explicit, but I'm getting a Tang Dynasty vibe), it follows a pharmacist girl whose ended up as an attendent in the imperial harem (it's all SFW).

Are they dropping subtle hints throughout that series that the girl has been reincarnated/travelled through time or am I crazy?

the art is very pretty and she's shrewd and authoritative as hell but its a tad over the top for her to have her develop fingerprinting? anyway if you want another story about someone having incongruously advanced knowledge sent back in time, try out jin (edo-meiji transition, surgeon) or nobunaga's chef (sengoku, chef)

Phobophilia posted:the art is very pretty and she's shrewd and authoritative as hell but its a tad over the top for her to have her develop fingerprinting? In total fairness: she hasn't, quite. She hasn't figured out the whole 'fingerprints can identify a specific person' bit, just the 'fingerprints exist' bit. Telling that it was four different people was a bit much, tho, from that.

Despite being a bit of a stretch to say the least, I didn't really mind the finger printing despite its anachronism. Heck, depending on when it's actually set, something as simple as the presence of cocoa beans would be ahistorical. All that said, I've really enjoyed what I've read thus far and look forward to reading more!

I'm guessing kidnapping was pretty common in imperial china given how nonchalant Mao is about it. In that chinagame we all used to play before one of the activities was just kidnapping people and selling them for currency so I guess it holds up
