The anime is a masterpiece, but the light novel is just even more of a flawless masterpiece, the Monogatari Light Novel is probably the major reason that drew my attention more towards the world of light novels. Except for Nisemonogatari in the light novel season 1, the other three stories in this, Bake, Kizu, Neko Kuro are all just 10/10 masterpieces with Nise alone being a 9/10 in the light novel. The ln displays more detailed text and gives more detailed info to the readers while reading and I love how it holds just 20 pages long or exceeding even more than that with a ... bunch of simple conversations with majorly two characters with witty humours and wordplays. NisiOisin is honestly just super talented, i can't believe just how he could write such books, the monogatari ln also holds a bunch of deep meanings and text which are usually forgotten by anime watchers. Well this train to the first season was a fun and delightful 10/10 overall, i am still in second season as i am writing this review.

A beautifully well-woven story with excellent story-telling and cast. Despite the hate for season 2 currently by some certain fans, it's unironically better without the action and here we got some slow character-progression in this season. It's amazing seeing characters like Thorfinn and Canute to have changed into pretty much different persons here. Season 1 displayed thirst for revenge displayed by our main character, Thorfinn, while season 2 is showing how he just doesn't want to pick up those blades and swords anymore, he just doesn't want to fight anymore. I view Vinland saga more of a survival anime rather than some hot-headed Vikings beating ... the crap outta each other sort of thing. How Thorfinn survives on the battlefield in S1 and now how he survives on the farmlands in S2, I do not care about what others say about they be farming but I still love this season and prefer it over S1 already. The whole point of this series is how revenge and violence is bad and that it has no meaning to it.
