WIT, of Attack on Titan and Ancient Magus Bride fame, just announced a Vinland Saga anime.

I was surprised too.

My mistake, they're animating Wolfsmund instead.

They were going to, but then the first guy going through the Saint Gotthard Pass was Thorkell the Tall.

There wasn't exactly a full season's worth of material left once he was done.

I am looking forward for a 24 episodes of Farming Saga in 2nd or 3rd season.

As angering as that entire manga was. I'd welcome an adaptation only to see how ludicrous the censorship becomes as things progress.

Wow, it's actually happening? I remember there used to be fake anime screenshots floating around a few years ago, too. I hope it's a good adaptation.

Same studio as Attack on Titan, so I imagine that the action scenes will look decent.

I think WIT has the experience now, and they've done a mostly great job on AoT. I do worry about the less action focused arcs; I think the quality will be very dependent on the director.

Wolfsmund ftw and i'm glad for the angering because it brought a lot of catharsis when the dipshit castellan gets the worst possible torturing death and the knights get loving owned by peasant footmen

If WIT could make awkward-rear end AoT look good, they can do anything.

Wow I hope these anime studio decides to sloppily rush past the epic story of England with insane fight scenes that will make the anime wildly successful and popular and go straight to farming for 3 or 4 seasons.

It sure is a hell of a year for drive-by bolt-from-the-blue anime announcements. First Golden Kamui and now Vinland Saga?! What's next?!

Farmland is amazing but I don't want to rush through the preceding events. Farmland works so well because of how painstakingly Yukimura developed Thorfinn and his life throughout the England invasion and Canute's rise.

This would never happen and even if it did we won't get a good studio to do it because we're in the worst timeline.

I honestly don't care if they don't animate anything past the Prologue arc. It's such a perfect setup to the rest of the story, the way The Golden Age is for Berserk.

But I really really hope they get enough episodes to animate the whole prologue. Gotta see Askeladd get his.

What if you liked seeing him die because he went out like such a boss?

Even in death he was playing the angles like a pro. Gotta respect that.

Yeah, Askeladd chose his own death, and who can ask for more than that?

Askeladd was cool. Askeladd was also a TITANIC rear end in a top hat and him dying wasn't exactly a tragedy by any stretch.

Allegedly everything announced in that bunch of announcements is going through Amazon Prime, so it's unlikely Funimation will be involved.

I believe that Amazon just handles subtitles for shows aired internationally.
