EDIT: If you're reading this, this is completely pathetic anger when I have extreme doubts. Safe to say that my overthinking paranoia was a waste of time. I take back everything I said and I appreciate Yabuta for this fantastic adaptation. You can see my idiocy here:

The show was good up to Canute's complete character change, which I thought was a major ass pull, but it has slowly gotten better. Too bad the season is ending next episode.
People with low average anime scores don't have high standards. They are just bad at choosing good anime to watch.

Completely deviates from the entire second arc and tries to resolve everything right now, removing major Thorfinn development.
It seems that it is quite bad.

The summary may be there just to mislead. Hopefully Thorfinn and Askeladd will do a 180 and it will end like the manga.

I'm not trying being too optimistic, but following the source material very close and suddenly changing the ending seems out of place. Unless we will have Tokyo Ghoul situation. Then the anime is beyond saving.

Dont worry lads, thorfinn will still be there for the event, it says in the description that he decides to get on the boat until he sees a tern, probs meaning he changes his mind and goes back to the banquet. As long as the episode is longer than usual it should be alright.


Even if goes back to the banquet, it won't mean a thing if


It really sounds pretty bad. It also basically makes the next arc pointless. Damn, what a major blemish on an otherwise stellar adaptation.

I guess Askeladd will receive a reward vor saving Canute? Probably some sort of poisonous offer like 2nd in command of the Wales expedition or so. Seeing him being caught off guard was really unexpected.

I hope Thorfinn will start to recover from now on. I have not seen him being this likeable in forever.

Great great music to compliment the scenes. Super emotional. I thoroughly have enjoyed Leif’s presence in the last couple episodes. I think he may have gotten thru to Thorfinn. Maybe that’s exactly what he needed to hear. His vengeance against Askeladd has proven futile. Thors said best that there is no need for revenge.

Askeladd is shoooook about the Wales situation. I wonder how he will handle that?

Great episode. Finale is gonna be sweet

I think Askeladd actually does likes Thorfinn and thinks of him as a very useful kid and his quest for revenge is just an idiotic one.

I know I know, my complaints seem pathetic. I could just see this ending as a short version of Vinland Saga and be off with it.
It’s just that the author didn’t design the series for something like this. It stops growth and things to cover after Thorfinns revenge, making it underwhelming. Maybe I slightly overreacted there as I always do when I first discover things, but I’m sticking to my ground that these change will only bring negativity. Apologies.

Tbh, it was hard for me to see the way Thorfinn was treated. It seems like Askeladd's plan didn't go accordingly. Sad to know that the next episode is the final ~ hopefully we get a season 2?

Why do I have the feeling that Leif might die soon?

Anyways, it was another very good episode. Askeladd is really a mama's boy... not that I can blame him tho. Now with the king's intention to invade Welsh, I'm quite intrigued in knowing what kind of plan he will come up with.

One more episode to go. Based on some comments, I wonder if there will actually be a second season.

The best parts of this episode were, as usual, Askeladd and Thorkell. I would add Leif as well. His speech to Thorfinn was really emotional.

Askeladd, just when he though everything is under his control, was checked. I wonder how it will end. I just hope he won't die, or at least won't die soon, lol.

One episode left, sadly.

Once again, my stomach was in knots! To think that this was a person's real life is incredible!

I really wish that Thorfinn would snap out of it! If he doesn't get his shit together soon, he's either gonna die or end up in worse shit! I can't believe that Sweyn is going after Wales... it looks like he's got Askeladd trapped with that too! Askeladd might have to let them attack Wales in order to keep his plan going which will be so sad!

Man, i can't believe the next episode is the last one! If there's no season 2 i will RIOT!

Amazing to say the least, this episode had so much content and it all fit perfectly in those 24 minutes. I hope Thorfinn will manage to surprise us in the final episode.
This episode also showed us how Askeladd thinks and that he constantly thinks strategy filled methods to beat the enemy. Amazing

Best of luck to the main characters, I love you all!

I’m curious to know if Vinland will have a score raise has well? I know, score really doesn’t mean much. But, it would be nice to see. Every popular anime as seen a score raise, Dr.stone, Beastars, Demon Slayer and even Fire Force. I hope Vinland gets one as well, even if it’s just by .1

It did already go from 8,57 to 8.61. I kinda expect it to reach between 8,65 to 8,70.

I thought this was decent episode but damn still very conflicted about this show overall (especially with the previous episode developments) because I don't think it didn't mixed well the filler and the original material. If the director wanted to make this standalone season which I liked the idea as well but should have made more bold changes instead it went way too safe. Also some episode (good example like episode 13 or 14 where a random girl suddenly feels like became protagonist of the show!) felt irrevelant if you look this show in the long run as standalone. Another thing is that Thorfinn losing against Askeladd twice (if you count the filler battle) in same aggressive way really reduce the dimension of his character.

Anyway my ultimate impression of this show depends on the last episode but I have been super disappointed with the soundtrack!

Could you please explain why your disappointed in the Soundtrack? I feel it's been amazing the orchestra battle music, the dark sad strings , the cinematic piano melodys. Best ost of the year imo. What do you not like about it?

Its just hard to explain but I just felt none of them were stood out for me and each of the soundtrack feels very similar. I find myself liking the moments when there is no sound. From this year, for me only promised neverland, kono oto tomare and Beasters soundtracks stood out for me.

So good. I loved the entire scene with Thorfinn and Leif. Especially that shot where Leif is standing over Thorfinn with the light shining behind him. Man that was good.

it's as if it's saying Leif will lead Thorfinn into the light and a better life, but that prison cell in between them is too hard to break through, showing that Thorfinn is already too far gone in his revenge to just give up and return home. He's blended in with the shadow/darkness and he can't give up now.

Looks like Askeladd was overconfident, lol, now color me surprised, his reaction to the announcement of the king to attack Wales surprised me. Poor Thorfinn, he really got broken by Askeladd.

that scene with Thorfinn and his bretheren sailor (what's his name again?) was so touching! when they talk about Vinland, i hope Thorfinn gets his senses sane back!

Reflecting back on how much I was an idiot at this period of time.
I acted like the anime was complete shit when they turned towards an odd direction with Thorfinn and was afraid of the ending completely changing.
Glad I was wrong and I feel like a moron for ranting about how "bad the director is" and scoring it a "1/10"
