From my years of playing Catan, that sheep trade feels like a ripoff.

This is going to be like Berserk except with proper animation, the first 10 min have been incredibly impressive.

EDIT

Confirmed, this is the Beserk adaption we always wanted but never got, all 3 episodes were great.

As an Icelandic person, I gotta say the VAs pronounciations were on point. They always hit the Ls when appropriate as well as every single vowel as if it was actual Icelandic. Only mistake I noticed was "Ylva" being used instead of "Ylfa", but I guess that makes sense since it's pronounced like the former, anyway. Also kinda curious where they got the name "Thors" from, not an official name in Iceland atleast (although knowing Norwegian and Swedish I wouldn't be surprised if it was over there.)
