...talking about of Vinland Saga

I'm sorry for many errors, I'm not native english speaker, but I wanted to write this.

I recently discovered that Vinland Saga anime has been released; I'm so happy, I've been fan of the manga for years.

However as much as I love vinland saga, I think this series has some flaws:

1- Vikings are shown almost exclusively as bloodthirsty beasts.

In an interview the author Makoto Yukimura said he wanted to make a series that could talk about anger and violence, and a series about the Vikings was perfect!

And on this I agree, but many Vikings were just farmers and breeders.

2- The Viking civilization was very egalitarian, women could divorce, have property, were artisans, village chiefs and priestesses.

((If you've never heard of osenberg's drakkar, search it up on google.))

3- Viking women could be warriors.

((Archeologists found many graves of women along with weapons, of course, they might not all be warriors, but it is an important fact.))

4- In Viland saga one never speaks in depth about Norse mythology! A manga about Vikings that doesn't talk about Odin, Frig, Freya, Loki, Thor, etc... Why?! Good Odin, why?!

In short, I love Vinland Saga, ((characterization of the characters? Perfect! Drawing? Perfect! Deep pacifist message? Unbelievable!)), but as I already mentioned, the Vikings are shown almost exclusively as mindless beasts, when instead they were among the most civilized peoples of their age.

It's sad. Very sad.
