Vinland Saga (2019) — Story, Release Date, Rating

Synopsis:

Set against a backdrop of escalating conflict between England and the Danes, this anime follows Thorfinn, a hardened mercenary haunted by his past. Raised on tales of Vinland, a mythical land of peace, he finds himself embroiled in a brutal reality of endless warfare. Thorfinn navigates a world where death is commonplace and Viking mercenaries thrive on chaos, driven by the promise of power and plunder. His personal quest for vengeance against Askeladd, the man responsible for his father's death, intertwines with the larger political landscape. The narrative explores themes of legacy, violence, and the search for meaning in a world consumed by conflict, contrasting ideals of tranquility with the grim reality of survival. It offers a nuanced portrayal of a warrior grappling with morality amidst relentless war.
