I really like the OP or rather the song ;)
"The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there."

"Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life."

Wonderful ep, hints at the slower pace of season 2 without compromising the intrigue of the story, characters, or mood. THE VIBE, THE VIBE. It's just so nice. Looking forward to and hoping for a solid adaptation of this arc.

Already have seen a few dorks get in a twist about the lack of action to be expected in this season, saying it's trash and better to drop. Are these the same people that complained because Chainsaw Man wasn't shounen power-up battles every single episode?

Bit of a slow start, but still good overall. Sometimes things need to brew for the setup, so the quality of this episode kind of hinges on how things progress from here.

because the artstyle is literally the same as season 1. but you're more of a hater than people trying to defend against your delusional take.

you can quite literally see the character designs are way less gritty than the 1st season. it looks more similar to aot than the first season of vinland saga.
Of course it looks gritty when they're literally in the dark... Compare liefs tone on his face vs when he met thorfinn in season 1. It has the same texture and artstyle.

I get it,  you hate mappa because of AOT, but no way are you being this blinded.

Vinland Saga is back!

The animation is too captivating 🥲 and the opening and ending… had the on replay too many times before I finished the episode completely.

Einer’s story was too sad. Going from a happy family and hometown to his mother and sister being killed. I had some hope they was going to run away and escape.

But I’m glad he’s at a better place with this new owner…I hope?

We see Thorfin again, but this time as a slave. And Leif is still looking for him…he’s so loyal

I was anxious about how the transition from WIT to MAPPA would affect the future of Vinland Saga, but all of that was relieved upon watching just the very first few minutes of this episode. Man, they really nailed just about everything. I was completely immersed throughout the entire thing. Einar's story was captivating, but what really made the experience so impactful was the excellent production that accompanied it. Everything from the soundtrack to the voice acting to the artistic expression of certain scenes captured my attention and refused to let go for even a second. The pain and suffering Einar felt was conveyed damn near perfectly. Folks, this is what I watch anime for, and I'm happy to say that I'm very excited for what's to come for this show :)

Oh man, what a fantastic episode! My favorite first ep of the season! It made me feel quite emotional.
I'm already invested in Einar.
Really interested in seeing what this season has in store for us.

Vinland keeps giving us great OPs and EDs I see. I absolutely loved the ending song! Something in it reminds me of Abba lol

God damn. What an astonishing way to start the second season of Vinland Saga. MAPPA really nailed it. Animation, art, OST's, just everything about this first episode was brilliant.

We got introduced to a new character with the name Einar, whose peaceful life was turned upside down when his home got attacked, his mother and sister killed as well as him becoming a slave with the perspective of eventually never being able to live a normal life again. Even if we got glimpses of what happens to slaves before, this was definitely the first time we got to experience what they actually have to endure and how cruel and brutal it can get.

As fate would have it, Einar met Leif, who was still on his tireless search for Thorfinn. As it wasn't enough, Einar got not only purchased by a farmer, he also met Thorfinn shortly after. What a coincidence lol.

I'm honestly shocked by how old Thorfinn looks. How many years have passed? What did Thorfinn do in all that time? I have so many questions, but for now I'm just glad Vinland Saga is back.
Btw, why does anime food "always" looks so damn delicious? Because of that, I got hungry again. Thanks :D

Not to forget, the opening as well as the ending are both fire. Very suiting for the mood this first episode gave me.

Super excited to see what this season will be about. So looking forward to the next episode.

haha that lad deserved having his sis and mom die, He should have not listened to them and kept working on his combat and perhaps he could have let them escape. He deserved being a slave.

Let's go! It's time for farmland saga. That was an awesome premier episode. F in the chat for Einar's family. That really didn't last long. Super excited to where this arc will go but I'm at least assuming Leif will find Thorfinn at some point.

It's finally here. Farmland Saga. What a phenomenal premiere episode that only foreshadows what is to come.

To anyone that hasn't read the manga, prepare yourself. This is only the beginning.
