Yeah I'm sure he'll love it since he loves Vinland Saga, bit unfortunately I don't know if it will be popular enough to win polls, unless he unilaterally decides like for Demon Slayer

Kingdom is a highly rated Manga/Anime (think on the same tier as Berserk, Vagabond, Vinland Saga etc.) and it's historical

I'm not sure there's many anime covering the same sort of historical events, I think that's more popular in the west with live action shows. I do know, however, of an anime that has similar vibes and a story kinda like Canute's; Berserk, specifically the Golden Age arc. I think the 1998 Berserk Anime could be a great show to react to on here. It's a story set in a medieval world with a few fantasy elements spread throughout like demons and monsters. The original Manga is considered some of the very best of the medium and along with Vagabond and Vinland Saga it's part of the Big 3 of "Seinen", stories aimed at adults with mature themes, heavy violence and nuanced plot beats that don't always result in a happy ending. Berserk has some of the realest, most human characters in fiction I've seen and a story just as gripping and intense as Vinland Saga.

If you want another historical show to watch, definitely recommend Shogun.

"Can you talk to the king that way?" You can talk to anyone that way when you're 12 feet tall and built like a bulldozer
Andrew Muggleton
Yes. That theme. It’s so good and emotive.

I don’t know if it was mentioned in comments at the time. But askeladd’s full name reveals him to be the descendant of King Arthur from his mother’s side. At least, one of the people who in reality were likely inspirations for King Arthur

Can't wait to see your reaction as s2 treks on. Thorfinn and his character development is incredible and you really start to understand what the mangaka wanted to convey by the end of it
Gatsu
would you ever consider doing a tier list/ranking of the shows youve watched? now that youve watched a good few
