Vinland Saga
| The payoff at the end would've never been possible without all the "dull" moments you hated. A story can't just get good out of nowhere. It needs a strong foundation and build-up. |
| nah i loved s2 throughout haha 10/10 |

| The climax of the arc wouldn’t have been as impactful without all the build up. Funny thing is, some people actually complain that Thorfinn’s growth this season happened too fast, which I disagree with as well. The meticulous build up of events and character moments were why I enjoy this arc so much. The simple things like just trying to get a horse to help with their cultivation might seem trivial to some, but it’s a challenge Thorfinn had to face to strive towards a goal that wasn’t just to kill a man. Sverkel was a much needed and impactful character in Thorfinn’s life. Olmar’s arc was great. The little moments with Einar and Thorfinn help build their relationship to be as great as it is, especially down the line in future arcs. Thorfinn listening in on Snake reading the bible and seeing him have a genuine interest in the teachings, and understanding there may be some room for forgiveness for himself. All of these things matter and play a part into the growth, no matter how small. It’s definitely a slow burn and I can understand why people might not have enjoyed it. But for me it’s my favorite arc in all of anime and manga, and it impacted me more than anything else I’ve seen in fiction. I give you credit for sticking through it instead of just dropping it though, at least you really enjoyed the last few episodes. |
| the development was perfect, it was necessary |
| It could've shaved off a few episodes. So in an ideal world, 18-20 episodes total. What I do know for sure is that 12 episodes wouldn't have been enough. It's the slowness and the little things that make this season and make this character. Overall I liked how slow the season was, but there were scenes that felt reeeeally dragged out, like the death of Arnheid's husband. But I understand the producers needed to choose between 12 and 24, because that's how broadcasting works. 24 was still the better choice. |
| I can't take anyone who changes their opinion from 'garbage' to 'masterpiece' in a few episodes, seriously. I'm not sure if this is Tiktok brainrot anymore, but it's pretty sad, still. |
I really feel bad for you for not appreciating one of the best adaptations of the decade from one of the Big Seinen Trio maybe you'll understand it better once you grow as a person.  |
| The start and end were great, but the middle part towards the last third of the series was a little slow, they could cut it down by 2-3 episodes imo. There's no way this should've been only 12 episodes long. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| In my opinion this season's length was simply very solid. Not too short (though one more episode wouldn't hurt, definitely ;D), not too long. Two ONA episodes, each one focusing on an additional scene, also enriched the show without forcing it to have either rushed or dragged out plot to make a whole additional episode for the sake of these scenes making it to the show. |
| Yes i think it dragged but not horribly so to the point of being a real problem, though still a flaw. An example of a show that is the definition of dragging is casshern sins. The main idea of the anime is repeated but still nebulous enough to be confusing, episodes that are pointleesly progressed for the sake of nothing and a confused plot. Great opening though, wouls be great as a 12, 13 episode anime. Even wolf rain has the same fatal flaw, despite looking good and having a good opening as well), ultimately pointless. |
