    "It's actually quite different to what I was expecting it to be, 'cos to me it isn't very anime at all"
    That's because most of the popular series we associate with being 'anime' are shounen titles. This is a seinen, which targets a different demographic.

      I think Vinland Saga is so unique and great exactly because of that. Vinland Saga could still stand on it's own two feet if it were an actual live-action show, without cutting a single scene or line of dialogue. The writing is just that good. I also ADORE how it doesn't fall into any of the pitfall anime stereotypes that's prevalent in most anime. There's no fanservice. There's no filler. There's no unnatural dialogue. It's just beautiful storytelling, with nothing to distract from it.

      ​@@zak9011seinen is not adapted well in anime, but berserk 1999 is a decent one, but better is to read the manga, but pretty close to Vinland Saga is Vagabond manga, it has not been adapted in anime, but the themes are very much like Vinland Saga. Vinland Saga take lots of Christian themes, but Vagabond is more buddhist philosophy influenced, but both are similar genre.

    I love how seriously this anime takes itself, and how while it has touches of fantastical elements, it doesn’t glorify violence at all. If this writing or script existed for a live action show, your average tv watcher would have no idea it belonged to an anime. It’s just very mature. It’s also very character-centered. Every character is understandable and I love how unlike a lot of anime’s, we aren’t told how to feel, rather we are shown. A lot of the emotional moments of this show actually take place in the absence of words. And this is based only on your reactions, I think I need to watch it for myself because I’m really liking it

    To answer your question regarding the different spoken languages they will typically just have some dialogue like Thorfinn saying he didn't understand English to let the viewer know they aren't speaking the same language. I have never noticed them using different accents to distinguish between the different languages but I also don't speak Japanese so maybe I just can't tell.

    Haha I love how you get introduced to a different "kind" of Anime through Vinland Saga, it's a great pick amongst your first couple of Anime :) You don't even realize how deep the Rabbithole goes, but you're starting to get a Feeling - it's awesome and honestly quite nostalgic to see it all unfold for someone else^^ We LOVE our Shonen Anime/Manga like JJK, AoT, One Piece, Naruto, Dragonball ect; but there are Thrillers, Dramas, Comedies and everything else out there - you'd be surprised at the sheer Amount of Series for each Genre in Existence. By now you won't be surprised to hear that many of these are amongst the BEST of Stories these Genres have to offer in all of Media, so buckle up and get ready for a Journey that's most likely going to last your entire Life from now on, and at the End you'll be thankful for it :D I used to get bullied for being a "Weeb" 20 years ago and I love how it became the respected Medium it always deserved to be worldwide today :) However the great Wave of Anime in the West has just started a couple of Years ago and there are MANY more Gems to be discovered by new Fans ! Spread the Love, animated Storytelling ftw and also: ALWAYS watch Sub over Dub (haters gonna hate) :P

    In the German Dub Torfinn is speaking German and the English are just speaking English so there you can clearly tell who is from where. I think in the japanese version there is just dialogue to let you know

    one thing to note, vinland saga sits in a 'category' (for lack of better words) called seinen which targets an 18+ demographic. Stories sitting here usually are quite like vinland saga, or off the rails insanity (gantz).
