5) Vinland Saga

Vinland Saga takes us to the world of Vikings with a raw and intense edge, focusing on Thorfinn, a young warrior. Inspired by Makoto Yukimura's manga, the anime series blends engrossing historical fiction and deep philosophical themes that describe violence, honor, and personal growth. The show leaves viewers awed with the beauty of animation and heart-wrenching story, and keeps hooked throughout from the start. The second season hit the screens in 2023, and traces Thorfinn's evolution with a storyline that is measured in execution but more heartbreaking than the first.
