Naruto running Viking? Like the writer is the same?
No, as in the running style. Where they run with a forward lean and their arms back, which at least from everything I have ever seen is just referred to as "Naruto-running" regardless of the medium.
It is a different author.
EDIT: Just in case you need a visual idea of what I am talking about, this is a "Naruto-Run".
A normal very fast human runs like this: https://imgur.com/a/UoOjMz9
That's 27mph speed.
But in Naruto, the characters are supposed to run at ridiculous freeway speeds like 60-80mph. lol
I suppose. And I have heard that it makes sense for reducing wind resistance when running at the absurd speeds they do. But it was odd to see a show that was actually pretty good at taking what were actually reasonable depictions of Viking fight styles and weapons (...and running them through the Anime machine, but still) then have a character start doing that when it was a character I was already not a huge fan of.
They only run like that to reduce animation costs. You don’t have to animate arms or torsos for Naruto runners, and any closeup means you barely have to animate anything at all.
To be fair there is nothing reasonable about the main character kid's fighting abilities at his age. He's like a little Arya Stark & I'm not even that far into the show.
Berserk (young guts) was far more reasonable & that show had demons in it.
Where's the human?
Ohh. Ok. Thanks for the breakdown.
