A young viking witnesses the death of his father, sending him on a path of vengeance that is as bloody as it is serious. This description applies to both Robert Eggers‘ new movie, The Northman, as well as the anime hit dubbed Vinland Saga, so it’s no surprise to see that fans are comparing the two with the live-action film arriving in theaters this week. With the first season of Vinland Saga created by Wit Studio and appreciated by countless anime fans, it’s no surprise that now is a great time for viking fans.
Currently, a second season of Vinland Saga is in production, with the character designer, Takahiko Abiru, recently giving an update to fans earlier this week to discuss how the creative team is “moving forward day by day with the production”. While we don’t have a release date currently revealed, there are plenty of viking fans that are crossing their fingers for Thorfinn’s return sooner rather than later.
What do you think of The Northman and Vinland Saga being so close to one another in terms of story? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of vikings.

The northman legit looks like a live action adaption of Vinland saga . Can you confirm that this is true anyone who’s watched the film? pic.twitter.com/1T7WAdTO4x
If you liked The Northman, it is safe to say Vinland Saga can be your entry into Anime. And vice versa if you’re still curious about The Northman. It’s Eggers’ mainstream Valhalla Rising, but still a fun; good-looking, hyper violent, brisk journey. Alexander Skarsg?rd is a beast.
Northman is just Vinland Saga plus The Green Knight, but it is amazing and def worth a watch
Watching The Northman today, or as I like to call it, the live action Vinland Saga.
The Northman was gooood. Definitely got me wanting another season of Vinland Saga tho ?
The northman was basically just the farm arc from vinland saga
