Ever since the announcement of Season 2, Vinland Saga fans have been on the edge of their seats for more information. While we wait on that, Sentai Filmworks has some good news for the dub fans.
It’s been almost two years since Season 1 of Vinland Saga ended. Given the series’ reception in the west and manga’s cult following, it’s weird how there wasn’t any news regarding the English dub.
Although that might have been the work of 2020, it is here now!
Sentai Filmworks has announced the English dubbed version for Season 1 of Vinland Saga anime. The Blu-ray is available for preorder and will be released on 31st August 2021.
The announcement was followed by the release of a clip from the upcoming dub.
The clip from the first episode shows the confrontation between villagers and Halfdan’s men. Halfdan then uses his chains to deal with a villager to show him who’s the boss.
The English cast was also released with Kyle Colby Jones as the ADR Director.

Better get used to all of them as Season 2 might just receive a simuldub!
The delay might work in favor of the dubbed season as the anime is fresh in people’s minds after the announcement of Season 2. So fans now have something to look forward to while waiting on that one.
About Vinland Saga
Vinland Saga is a Japanese historical manga series written and illustrated by Makoto Yukimura. The series is published under Kodansha in its monthly manga magazine – Monthly Afternoon – aimed at young adult men. It currently has 26 volumes in tankōbon format.
Vinland Saga is set in ancient Viking times, where a young Thorfinn’s life goes astray when his father Thors – a well-known retired warrior – is killed while on a journey.
Thorfinn then finds himself under the jurisdiction of his enemy – his father’s killer – and hopes to seek revenge on him when he grows stronger. The anime is loosely based on the expedition of Thorfinn Karlsefni in his search for Vinland.
