How One Series Saved A Generation
- In this video, I assess how the COVID-19 lockdown had changed the lives of many people for the better, and how the “Seinen Big 3” was responsible for it. I go over what makes Vinland Saga, Vagabond, and Berserk the impactful series that they are, and how that transitioned into the “self improvement” trend that rose out of the pandemic. I hope you all enjoy the video!

What are your thoughts on Vinland Saga?

@luizfelipebocolibuenodasil2859 Ай бұрын

Season 1 was very good, mostly because of Askeladd. Season 2 was horrible, mostly because of Arnheid, Gardar and Canute. The manga is dumb as fuck now.

I believe that Vinland Saga is an outstanding series, bringing a significant positive influence amidst a storm of negativity and the pervasive influence of 'villainy.' From my point of view, it has brought a measure of purification to thousands of souls, even thought that always depends on yourself. Change depends on yourself

@@luizfelipebocolibuenodasil2859 No offense but you have a terrible opinion. Vinland Saga represents the hope in change and the beauty of redemption. Everyone in the series has their own significance and doesn't revolve around Thorfinn. It's realistic as well since even though how much war and hatred spread around the world, humanity will still longed for peace.

I'm gonna sound dorky when I say this, but for many years I tried so hard to be just like Eren Yeager. I saw him as someone with bottomless willpower, someone who always stood up for himself and fought back against his enemies to one day achieve his dream of freedom. However, what I did not realize was that he was motivated by hatred. Even though I was a manga reader, it took me until the anime ended last November to begin realizing that perhaps the path of trying to be exactly like Eren was wrong. Two months later, I watched Vinland Saga. Thorfinn was the exact answer to my questions. I followed Eren's journey for 10 years, and tried to be like him for 4. Though I still highly respect many aspects of him, I now understand that love is the true answer, not hatred. Someone like Thorfinn is who I most want to be like.

Vinland Saga surpassed my expectations in every way when I first watched it. It impacted me so much that it actually changed my whole view on life and how I interact with others. I’ve been meaning to rewatch this show recently and this is a clear sign that I should. Amazing show with an Amazing message that I think everyone should apply to their daily lives.

@OtakuOutlook07 Ай бұрын

It makes me really happy to see Vinland Saga Finally get the Popularity that it deserves especially after the shift from a Action Packed Season 1 , to a Second Season Only focused on Thorfinn's Character Development , Which made a lot of people drop the Anime , But then Just One Line " I have no Enemies " had the Impact that No one could have thought of.

Yes OPM. Take a look at most protagonists. They are trying their hardest, giving all in while facing every hardships, challenges, plot twists, you name it, to become who they really are or to avenge something. Meanwhile Saitama so OP and he himself doesn't know his true self's potentials. My point is yeah sometimes we want to be the best version of ourselves in general and we develop our POV of life while trying and giving all. Sometimes we need POV like Saitama. Instead of fame, wealth search for coupons and discount and fair deals for fun while being the best.

As an actual scandinavian, it was kinda nice to have a story that went against the usual violence, pillage hur dur narrative. Author made sure not to glorify the many obviously heinous things we did, while also diving deeper than most are willing to when it comes to making stories on viking culture. Easily taken number 2 spot in my top 3 right next to Berserk.

Nice job! One thing that is worth mentioning is that the philosophy is clearly described to be from Jesus teachings through the series. It mentions verses like ”the one that draws his sword shall by sword”. And Thorfinn spends time listening to the bible when He gets this philosophy that came with missionaries to the vikings. It’s Jesus that taught to ”love thy enemies” and who died for even those that hated him. Without lifting His fingertips, even though He had the power of heaven at His fingertips. Vinland saga has plenty of bible veres mentioned and even written on screen during a paus frame. Vinland is an very clear metaphor for heaven, a place who some believe of, I few hope for, which is a place without war and hatred. That’s what I noticed throughout the series.

I no longer follow a religion, but this video made me think about the core values I was taught by the catholic church when I was younger. "I have no enemies" is literally Jesus' way of life. I find it really interesting how Canute converts to Catholicism and goes away from this message, while Thorfinn in the end of season 2 acts as a better Christian than Canute, without being one. When you say this "saved this generation", it made me think about our current western societal trend of people leaving religion (including me, lol) and I'm just now realising that the core values I was taught like kindness, humility and empathy may not be taught to the new generations the same way. We may need a different institution to spread these good values to people (like school for example). As a random note, I see the channel avatar has Sly Cooper's cane and that's awesome! Sly 2 is still my favorite game of all time (nostalgia is powerful).
