Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

In regards to your spoiler'd bit yeah I just added that to my spoiler'd second edit.

Where I'm at in the Manga they are building their community in VinlandGotta say,

it's pretty weird to use "real" history when that means the vinland settlement and Canute's schemings are both going to fail.Then again the author is a lib so idk what to make of all this. Maybe I'm over-focusing on the sociopolitical aspects in the background when it's more just about Thorfinn's personal growth.
Yeah and if you read his little notes and whatnot at the end of the Manga volumes alot of this just comes from rationalizing his fascination with Nordic culture against his Liberal sensibilities. That's literally the entire character of Thorfinn right there.
This is ultimately where I'm at with it; it's an interesting story about the subjective experience of a young boy, and then man, trapped in a world of violence.
I imagine the vast majority of the Japanese audience doesn't know that and has likely never heard of Vinland or Canute. For that audience it'll probably hit like a punch in the gut.
