| Season 2 surpassed season 1 by ages. Great story , great character development, it was a fun journey seeing Thorfinn change to the man he is now, everyone thought this would be a farming saga but it turned out to be a masterpiece. Its been a while since I gave an anime a 10 but Vinland S2 deserves it. Actual masterpiece, cant wait for season 3 |
An amazing ending to an amazing anime, too bad that now mondays are gonna have to be just mondays again :(( |
| Way better than the first season despite less deaths. This was more mature and brilliant in my opinion. Though didn't care much for Einar, being the crybaby he is. The first season was just a boy killing people for way too many episodes but I'm not complaining. Kind off thinking about buying the manga as well. Does anyone know which volume this season ended with? So I can read them all and catch up before we might get a third season. |

To be fair only one of the above has Thors' genes + Thorfinn was actively trying to dampen the impact of the punches in the first case. (I know the scene was played to serve as comedic relief but it does make sense when you think about it.) |
| Did not expected Thorfinn homecoming to be soon into anime. Was very emotional great stuff. And great season. Feel like a good moral story. And now waiting for Season 3. |
| Mappa please give us S3 as soon as possible 🙏 |
| Peakland saga that was promised delivered big time. Manga readers for years kept hyping up Farmland arc and what an arc it was Storyline, Character development, OST, Whole theme setup everything top-notch. A 10/10 anime season after more than year. |

| Feels like a family union after 3 decades lost.. |

| A fantastic second season. I have wanted more anime to take its time telling stories and not depend on flashbacks after a time skip. Letting the visual storytelling and music take command of scenes. With the appropriate pacing to let things unravel, something animes skip for the most part, making them feel soulless and weightless. Characters not depending on a burst of emotions to overcome trauma to never revisit it but struggling to find who they are, making them feel human instead of caricatures. Season 2 was far better than the first, but the latter served as context for the payoff, at least for me. All the themes in this season come from a place of knowledge and understanding: the mental struggles, the hardship of progress, and the overcoming of disappointments. Its dissection certainly enhanced my experience. I can't wait to rewatch it all! |
| It can be. I read Vinland Saga long time ago can't remember every single detail. |

| 10/10. Absolutely loved that adaptation. Thorfinn finally got home and reunited with his family. The perfect finale filled with many precious moments after all those heavy episodes we had previously. Only major downside was episode 17. They really dedicated way too much time for Gardar and yet they skipped stuff from this episode. Thorfinn wondering how old he is, was never addressed again since they skipped the whole haircut scene with Ylva where this was discussed along with its funny moments. |

0451 said: If I have to nitpick, the only episode that I didn't like as much as the others were episode 17 where Gardar died. It felt like the only episode that was stretched with a lot of repetition because the animators didn't have enough material to adapt. It could use some trimming. It wasn't stretched out because the team didn't have enough material, they could have easily adapted two chapters for episode 17 instead of 1 chapter plus a lot of anime original content. It's clear that it was a intentional creative choice to make the episode like this. |
| Enjoyed this final epsiode more than the rest of the episodes this season, with Thorfinn reuniting with his family members after many years (and seeing folks like Ylva married with kids now making me sort of nostalgic towards the first couple episodes). This season is not as boring as the first season since many pointless episodes were there that drained the life out of me, but the improvement is only marginal for me. Some good moments were there and the music continued to be stellar, but I just wasn't invested in the season as much as I would have hoped for. More invested than stuff in season 1 for the most part, but not truly invested enough to care for the themes and direction of Thorfinn's character by the end. I admire the different direction taken and the emphasis on Thorfinn's development this season, but struggled to really get myself into watching this as a whole. I have enjoyed plenty of seinen content but Vinland Saga's just not doing it for me anymore, anime nor manga. By no means one of the worst shows of the season though. |
| So freaking deep. It's rare to see a character development like Thorfinn's one. For me it's one of the best anime of the year so far, easy 9-10. |

| One of the best manga adaptation out there, this season was fenomenal |
| I keep moving forward |
