Vinland Saga Season 2 is Simply a MASTERPIECE.

Vinland Saga's Farmland Arc being one of my favorite arcs in all of manga, I was dying to see how the anime would be able to give this arc justice. Mappa did not only do just that with season 2, they might have created a masterpiece.

What are your thoughts on this season of Vinland Saga?

[harrlerr]

If vinland saga doesn't win anime of the year in the crunchyroll awards, it's understandable since there is so many top tier anime this year, but thorfinn has to win best protagonist 😊

What’s great about Cnut’s speech commanding the waves to stop is that it was a real thing the real King Cnut once said:

When he was at the height of his ascendancy, he ordered his chair to be placed on the sea-shore as the tide was coming in. Then he said to the rising tide, "You are subject to me, as the land on which I am sitting is mine, and no one has resisted my overlordship with impunity. I command you, therefore, not to rise on to my land, nor to presume to wet the clothing or limbs of your master." But the sea came up as usual, and disrespectfully drenched the king's feet and shins. So jumping back, the king cried, "Let all the world know that the power of kings is empty and worthless, and there is no king worthy of the name save Him by whose will heaven, earth and the sea obey eternal laws."

season 2, Episode 9 was so good. i was tearing up the whole time while Thorfinn was escaping the nightmare and he decides to carry the dead with him

[DayVinRey]

Thorfinn can endure 100 punches from Jomviking but can't take a punch from Ylva, that's how strong Ylva is Lol

[siddhantchauhan]

Surprised you didn’t mention Thorfinn saying the Vinland speech to Arnheid paralleling what thors did in the first episode.
Also unrelated but arnheid was such a tragic character, as she literally had no choice over anything that happened to her. She sort embodied the life a woman at that age especially when she said “a woman can’t do anything to change the idea of men”. She wasn’t even trying to run away as she knew Gardar was dying so all she was doing was just sending him off with the idea of continuing his family. She was just a deeply kind person who was given a horrible life

Canute and Thorfinn’s conversation was a great scene, but Willibald the priest and Canute’s conversation about what Love(Capital L) is in s1 also stands out.These are powerful moments that I’ve never seen in any medium elsewhere.

[Dream.Fisher]

One of the few anime’s where I’ve seen REAL character development

[Javier-ilxi]

My girlfriend and I were bawling while watching season 2. One of the greatest anime I've ever seen.

[aterriblesliceoftoast]

I was honestly smiling with watery eyes on the final episode.
Had me laughing out loud too.
Such a great season, and story.

[DrBusiness]

The ending episodes of season 2 made me weep. I’ve never been moved to tears by any media but seeing the progression of every character and them uniting as brothers made me unbelievably emotional

[lxx]

Thorfinn is definitely the best anime protagonist of 2023, his character is redemption and self forgiveness done right, can't wait for season 3😊

[noshhable]

I loved how they portrayed Thorfinn escaping the hatred of his past, it was so cool to recognize how they symbolized his fight to escape from his old tendencies by making him literally carry the weight of his sins.

Vinland Saga will always hold a special place in my heart. I actually discovered the series just shortly after I moved out to Western Newfoundland back in 2019, right on the Gulf of St. Lawrence for work. You're basically in the area that Vinland was historically, as Thorfinn in the manga actually settles in Prince Edward Island to the southwest of where I was. I even visited the Viking site at L'Anse Aux Meadows on the Northern coast of the island that may have been where the historic Thorfinn Karlsefni lived while in Vinland. The first season was airing during the time that I was starting my new life there. A story about a young man being carried off to a faraway place away from all his family and friends resonated with me, because I was now in a situation where I was in a new, unfamiliar place having to fend for myself. Incidentally, the second season ended right around the time that we moved from Newfoundland over to the West Coast for work. Seeing a story about his personal transformation and finding a peaceful place to exist within the same part of the world that I was living always made me feel a personal connection to it, because it will always remind me of those wonderful years I spent in my own peaceful and quiet existence in the mountains there.

they ended szn 2 perfectly. can’t wait for Vinland 3!

[murxart]

This anime gave me so much feels. This type of genre is really for me. Great review/recap!

[frewtlewps]

Farmland Saga has my favorite cast in anime. Every character in this season is like a cog in a machine that helps everything run smoothly. I was most surprised by Olmar and Snake, bc they turned out to be great people who were positively influenced by Thorfinn, Einar, and Sverkell.

[Ez.bake_evan]

Great video man. Vinland Saga means a lot to me and many others. No story has made me reflect on myself and my past actions as much as this has. To me Vinland Saga is about forgiveness (being able to forgive yourself and others) and hope for a better future.

[GCMunday]

Literally my absolute favorite anime I’ve ever seen, the story and character growth are both absolutely incredible! I definitely cried more than once this season and it’s rare a show or movie can make me cry! 10/10 all the way!

[bulldog]

After finishing S1 I was left confused as to what will happen after. With Askellad gone there was simply no one likable left in the show and yes Canute was there but the show simply didn't had anyone likable. Thorfinn was this one-dimensional maniac who in no way would make a good protagonist on his own. When S2 came out I wanted to see where this story would go and how would they transform Thorfinn into something or someone at least sensible and it didn't disappoint, Thorfinn not only became a likable and deep character he also started taking the right decisions in his life and kinda had positive impacts on people around him. for example without Thorfinn Einar would have been locked in a dungeon or killed because he sometimes would go off the rails to start a fight or even kill someone. 9/10.
