Personally I am fine with this season but I have seen lot of people complaining about this current arc for it being slow paced. Are you one of those people who is getting bored by it's 180° shift ?

If there’s a single person who thinks this arc is boring then they missed the entire point of the story. But hey. Weebs are dumb as fuck so we should not expect much from them

Clown comment, stop acting like the second season isn't clearly a different change of pace.

If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

In what part of my comment did I deny the change of pace? I’m just stating the obvious that the slow pace is there specifically for narrative and character development reasons and if people just wanted braindead action they should just watch something different. This arc is specifically here for Thorfin to evolve as a character without the need of bloodshed. Idk how people could possibly find good writing boring

Not at all, Season 2 is very good and offers something completely different while being very entertaining in its own way, I love it that this farm arc allows the viewers to see the "full of war" world from farmer/slave/commoner perspectives.

I don't read the manga, but I'm sure this farm arc is a buildup for something awesome to see later ^.^

I interpreted your comment as referring to the first season, implying that people who miss the action never understood the series to begin with.

Am I way off base?

I’m specifically referring to the point of this season. It’s point is to be slow. It shouldn’t have action. The mangaka himself said he wanted to make an arc where the mc doesn’t develop through violence. Idk looks like you either made a mistake or I wasn’t clear enough in my first post

Alright, that's my fault.

I've seen a number of people claim that anyone disappointed by "farmland saga" never understood the point of the (overall) series to begin with.

To be fair the first season only had hints of what the story was going to evolve to so it was never clear what direction future arcs would take. The only real part where such change of pace could have been foreshadowed was when Thors told Thorfin he has no enemies but besides that the story had a lot of action. And well that contradiction just further adds to the beauty of the farmland arc. I just think that certain people got very confused after that change due to their expectations and instead of being open minded and try to understand what point does such change serve from a narrative perspective, they instead opted to ignore the meaning and just complain on mal. It’s ok if they don’t like the direction the story is taking but I find it dumb to go out of their way to criticise something they were unwilling to understand

Those are all completely fair points. I wouldn't disagree with any of that. Anyone who thinks S2 is trash probably never appreciated the depth of S1.

Well, it is different than what I am used to when it comes to Vinland Saga. I mean before it was focused on war and stuff with high stakes and all. But now, things have really slowed down to put much more focus on the character of Thorfinn post-war involvement where he gradually is rediscovering himself in the way Thors would want him to. I can appreciate it and all as I love these things too. But it does feel a little slow I suppose and quite the change from the tone they set for Vinland Saga starting out? Not what I am used to anyway. But I can live with it. Stories have their ebbs and flow. But I do hope to see back some serious and proper conflict again which I think I will now.

People who are not quite enjoying it as much are just a bit put off by the change in tone when Vinland Saga's promised tone was around war and such. The problem when you have an audience promised one thing at the beginning but gets something else. These kind of arcs in even an action-heavy plot is welcomed for me but of course, you have to tread carefully not to linger there too long or your audience will be put off as they are not getting what they signed up for

I struggle to believe there is anyone who is a fan of storytelling and/or at least semi-media literate who can call this season boring. It's all children who (somehow) missed the entire point of season 1. Their opinions should never be given credit.

Not really, people are dumb. How many shows.movies and tv series there is, that are hugely popular but are complete dumpster fire with atrocious plot horrible writing and dialogue?
I'm actually amazed that Vinland farm arc is received so positively, I was expecting for more people to straight up hate it.

It's still better than most animes. But yes, for me is boring compared to the first season, which was simply amazing and so different.

I'm all for character development but not like this. Twelve episodes... way too much. Perhaps eleven, the last one was quite different. That being said I'll gladly continue to watch the rest of the season.

I find funny and pitiful the "if you don't like what I like you're a dumbass" comments. Because that's actually what they mean. I do like the ones explaining why they enjoyed this season and the total change without the need to insult or pretend superiority.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why have I seen at least 5 Vinland saga nerds basically saying, “if you find the show boring then you’re a kid”. Honestly, it just sums up this fan base at the moment.

For the record, I have never enjoyed Vinland Saga as much as the average Vinland Saga fan so it makes sense that I wouldn’t enjoy this season. Especially when Thorfinn, one of the most annoying characters IMO is a huge part of it. No offense to people who are enjoying it, but I put it on hold at episode 4. Maybe I’ll binge it, maybe I won’t.

It's not that I'm bored because the show made a 180. I was just never invested in any of the characters since season 1, that makes it hard to watch just for character development. And the tone seems serieus enough that I have to pay close attention, so even harder to watch when I don't have the time or energy to focus.

I'll probarbly give season 2 another crack when it's finished and I get some more free time. Seems like people think it deserves it.

This. I was never invested in any of the characters. Everyone loves Askeladd, I'm just indifferent when it comes to him. I appreciate what he brought to season one but didn't connect with him as a character to put him in my favorites or something. The same thing applies to the rest of the cast. I think you're right. Watching a slower-paced sequel of a show with characters you don't care about will make the show harder to watch than it normally is.

No, I am not kindding when I say I prefer these 12 episodes over the first season,even tho I didn't even read the manga. Every character is fleshed out,there are more perspectives(Thorfinn,Canute and Olmar/Ketil family). The strongest character for Season 1 was Askellad and that is pretty much it.

We are both similar on this, I didn't enjoy Vinland Saga S1 that much, and S2 is no different, the farming crap is boring and I sure as hell find Askeladd and Thorfinn overrated characters too, I just couldn't bond with any of them since they are just a bunch of thugs that deserve to die so I wanted them to die in S1 along with the rest of the main characters there which happens to be thugs too.

That being said, I did enjoy the last 3 episodes of Vinland Saga S2, this season is finally starting to pick up the pace so shit is getting good now, I just hope the rest of the episodes are equally as good.

So yeah, give this anime another chance.

Dude what? I am fascinated by this. I must really be getting old, cause I can't find a single redeeming quality about Jigokuraku. Tried watching every episode so far, pressed the -> button so many times in my laptop I must have skipped more than half of the content. Still I keep coming back cause the rating is so high, I mean, the problem must be me, right?

About Vinland... Boring? What? Farmland Saga is the best arc, for me. I like how well it's fleshed out and how much character growth we get from every character involved. I only wish it was longer, frankly, as one can grow pretty attached to the cast after a while. But I'm one of those who still gets mad we get so little Ylva and Helga. Heck I half-wish we'd get some filler slice of life bullshit with the Iceland crew.

If they want to build a character development then it's fine, but i literally had watched until episode 10 and the story still stuck at thorfin's regret and it's f*ckn repetitive. And this anime is probably will have less than 30 episode so using more than 10 episode just to build character development is freaking lame. I literally found this article by typing the same words as this article's question 💀

Curious, do you have anything to back up your assumption that people probably think the show is good simply because they don't want MAPPA to be "mocked", or is this just a hunch of yours simply because you think your opinion is right and everyone else with differing opinions is wrong?
