| Tragic start but it was so obvious what was gonna happen. |
 |
| A tragic beginning. The way they threw that woman overboard was horrifying. It's scary to think this sort of thing really happened back then. |
 |
| Beautifully animated and directed Looking forward to how this'll play out |
 |
| The MAPPA bikers intro caught me off-guard lol. Almost thought that I downloaded the wrong anime. The OP looks great but the music choice is kinda out of place for me. Once again, with the starting episode, we were given a grim reminder of how fucking devastating the brutalities of war can be. I could feel Einar's helplessness and feeling of uselessness. Damn, Thorfinn's uncle is still searching for him. Looks like Einar has found a decently good buyer and lo and behold my boy Thorfinn also works at his farm. Great start |

| Meh episode so far, the directing style is interesting to say the least. |

| Man i still can't help but to love this series already. I'm aware how slow this season gonna be but character development is always what i like to see. |

| Peakland Saga! Another banger season 🥶 |
 |
| I am little confused about Einar´s origin. He says that he is from England, yet he has a nordic name and so does his sister Lotta. Do you think they perhaps fleed to England as Refuges or something? |
| How I love a game |
| Very good start of the second season. There were emotions, action, great looking backgrounds and beautiful music tracks (including opening and ending theme). I was reluctant to whether start this season at all, after hearing about some stuff happening in it and in the arcs that are yet to be adapted. But well, I decided to finally give it a try. Everything was really solid, except Thorfinn's bratty mug at the end of this episode. He's the main character after all, heh. At least he appeared only for a short while. ;p Good that we could learn more about new character, Einar. He could experience the hardships and tragedies of war right away, as one of villagers. Zack312 said: I was curious about it as well. It was just the very first episode. Perhaps as the story progresses, we will learn more about Einar (including things you have mentioned).I am little confused about Einar´s origin.

| As soon as I noticed the studio change from Wit to MAPPA, I knew I needed a spare seatbelt to stay strapped in for this rollercoaster ride. This was an absolutely brilliant first step to the next stage of the saga. It was incredibly grueling to watch as Einar was helplessly stripped of everything dear and reduced to the lowest form of bondage. The inhumanity & despair of slavery was put on full display and even I was beginning to wonder what the point of living would be. I already have a feeling the driving force for this season is going to be life changing. |

| Vinland saga is back! We are seeing a different perspective this time around, which is fascinating. It is disheartening to see how people were treated like slaves at the time. For years and years, people went through this living hell. However, I was not expecting Thorfinn to end up being a slave after Askeladd died. I wonder what happened to him for him to end up like this. I don’t know, I would expect Canute or Thorkell to send him back home. Thorfinn looks completely empty :( |

| I look forward to knowing more about Einar! He started off as a very weak farmer, let's see how his character will develop. Hopefully, he won't remain the way he is because it would be such a waste, given that his character has potential. The opening was so amazing! I was actually speechless. I noticed there were some changes in it but I can't figure it out, only then did I read one of the comments in this thread did I realize that season 02 is produced by a different studio. I have no complaints with the first one but damn! MAPPA did a great job! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| tf happened to Thorfinn? wasn't he buddies with that eccentric teenage heir? idk that's what I remember in the previous season |
 |
| Great start to this one! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Glad to see this again, I think the new artstyle and soundrack so far are really amazing, Einar's backstory is gonna help build up some interesting concept and will probably work well with Thorfinn's character development in some way |
| I don't remember much from the end of season 1 aside von Askeladd(?) dying, so I don't know how Thorfinn ended up on that farm. But it's always a bad sign if you watch the first episode of a show and wonder when the episode ends. Pretty weak start for a 2nd season. |
