| Farmland Saga is here, Peakland Saga is back and it's better than ever. The anime original scenes shows that we're in good fucking hands. I love the OP and how very abstract it is, I have nothing much else to say except to be immersed and, it's farming time. |
 |
| yo did they accidentally air the BD version? cuz that's how it felt. everything was stellar. the starting part got me a little confused until the slave part happened. i kept thinking that einar was just thinking about past and how they were attacked etc. and i thought they would come out unscathed but seems like the imouto and okasan dying was real. fuck. well i'm just glad that the imouto ended up getting killed better than what would have happened otherwise (in my opinion). seeing thorfinn like this doesn't really come off as surprising to be honest. it fits perfectly. man's lost all purpose in his life. he's got no goals or anything. hopefully that changes. now i have no idea what kind of motivation or goal will be introduced so looking forward to it. the OP and ED both are absolute banger. peakland saga has delivered the peak we all were expecting. based mappa. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Beautiful episode. Made me feel nostalgia for peaceful life at the farm. |
| 1 episode and I already like it twice as much as the entire first season. This was incredible. |
| I'm kind of shocked, just how good the response is. For what it's worth, I'll keep watching, since I liked the first season a lot. MAPPA, devourer of charm, style and animation quality, strikes again. |
 |
| Fuck yeah it's back. Farm life lesgoooo |
 |
| what a great start , I like the change of the theme of the series tho , now I understand why the manga is called "farmland saga" |
 |
| absolutely a banger beginning episode of this sequeel !!! |
| Goddamn, that was a strong first episode. |
| Masterfully adapted, the anime delved into the core themes of tragedy, war and slavery. As well as gave a supremely rich backstory to Einar. The build up to the reveal at the end of Episode was perfect at setting the new Status Quo of the anime, a great way to restart after the Season Finale of Season 1 |
| Proud Husband of Arturia Pendragon, Makise Kurisu, Itsuki Nakano and Scathach Sharia Law Rocks! |
| Einar wanted to protect his family and the place where they live so bad then all of this happened... just tragic. I'm curious about his future relationship with Thorfinn and how they'll interact. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| Geez, what a beautiful episode. OP and ED are stunning. I feel happy. |
 |
| Already an anime of the year for me. Wonder if anything will beat that. OP and ED are amazing this season as well. |
Denji_Ackerman said: I mean... you saw what he did in the final ep of s1 right? What Thorfinn became a slave, just how and why? |
| Good, but I wish they slowed the pace a bit. |
| PEAK ALERT! I repeat, PEAK ALERT! Cancel all AOTY contests for this year since they won't be necessary at all. The sound, the directing, the animation, especially Einar's absolute RAGE face(yes, I know, it reminds one of Eren's rage face). Too bad he's powerless to do much about it.  Not to forget the fucking sea, even more glorious than the first season and I was praising that one to hell and back.  The staff is the same as S1 and it's clear they have improved. I just hope this level of quality, or at least close, is maintained throughout the season. Glad to see Thorfinn again too. After what he did in S1, no doubt he was sold into slavery. Man looks completely dead inside, alongside having grown weed.  I'm so glad I went into the anime completely blind. They keep it up, and it would be even better than any of 2022's anime. |

| Vinland Saga is back.The animation,sound and the feelings was full top notch.The introduction was pretty haunting. We got to see Einar's backstory.Ultimately he meets Thorfinn.It is ironical that Leif was pretty close to the person who bought Thorfinn.Eager to see Einar and Thorfinn's journey.Ultimately pretty good episode. |

| Beatiful start for a second season. I'm already liking it more that the previous season even though we're just one episode in. Hopefully this quality of art and animation stays consistent throughout the series. |
| Above average episode, I am not so fond of the new OP and ED though, 7.15/10. PD: Mappa saving anime again, *wink*. |
| A drop in animation quality with the move from Wit to MAPPA and some odd pacing left the first ep feeling a bit mid. |
| They didn't completely butcher the anime but it was flat as hell as expected. Mappa really should stop snatching projects from Wit studio. The subtle colors and animation details of Wit style bring every anime they make to life. Mappa on its own make good things but they really can't be the successor to Wit. The difference in quality is as bright as day. Really any studio taking over after Wit will not win. I'm seriously crying over here. The final scene of the first season finale is better than this entire episode. Also what kind of opening is this? How dare they put this weak song after Mukanjyu and Dark Crow. They could have at least got Sim to do the opening. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| 1 episode in and we already have the anime of the season |
   |
| I almost felt like standing up and clapping at that Marvel-like revelation when Thorfinn shows up at the end. |
Ahora, triste en la pendiente, solitario y ya vencido yo me quiero confesar Si aquella boca mentía el amor que me ofrecía, por aquellos ojos brujos, yo habría dado siempre más  |
