Another great episode and I FEEL like the tone is changing soon considering the last scene of this episode is giving a foreshadow when he spoke about Arnheid being his light.

I can respect the landowner dude more. Based on what he said at the end, he seems to me to want to be like Oskar Schindler. Instead of jews being sent to work in factories so they don’t end up in a death camp, he takes in slaves so they wont be sent to a war to die.

As someone who isn’t caught up on the manga at all, the pacing is pretty disappointing. I keep hoping an episode will explode into action, and Thorfinn will reawaken to his warrior roots, but maybe that’s not going to happen this season? Or it’s just all going to be the 2nd 12 episodes?

It’s still a beautifully made show and I kind of see why they’re building up to, but 7 episodes in have been really slow

Not happening until the end of the manga lol it wasn’t even a battle anime at base

Thorfinn's never gonna reawaken to his warrior roots, hate to break it to you. There will be some more action in the coming episodes though.

did you know the same arc was monthly in the manga right and fans were saying the same that it's slow. You won't get ton of action this season it's only action that is necessary for the plot

Good chapter today

There were many comedic moments which I quite liked like the moment where Einar and Throfinn pray.

There were also "uncomfortable" moments, such as the beating of the poor boy who only stole a bag of wheat.

And moments of surprise by the story of Ketil Iron Fist

According to the progress of the next chapter it will be quite good, I will wait patiently

Great episode, Ketil really is a great person, sadly surrounded by assholes.
I saw the revelation at the end coming from a mile away tho, and I don't care, and I don't feel bad about Einar for this, Ketil is their lord after all, like it or not, they are slaves.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Seeing his cute sister just made me think: Oh great, ANOTHER to-be rape victim.

I've come to expect that all somewhat good looking females in this anime will be raped at some point :(

Of course Arnheid "works" as Ketil's concubine. Now I wonder if Einar at some point will consider buying her freedom instead of his...

Quite the heavy episode, honestly. Ketil continues to be the most interesting character this season has offered so far but man is he having a rough time being surrounded by lunatics. Thorgil is practically Thorkell 2.0 but without the charm.

Big respects to the boy, by the way. Hope this experience makes him stronger.

Whew. This is some top-level drama, it sure felt real for a few minutes.

I really liked the cut-away to the deer just hangin' out, trippin' on the praying dudes, maybe chewing grass. It really gave me a sense of atmosphere for the scene. The animation is solid and the music's great The grinding brutality. Fucking slavery. The savage violence in relatively calm situations. What a cartoon, eh?

well well she's more than just a slave, she's the master's mommy as well. must be nice being the iron fisted ketil. f for einar. even if she likes him, she can't do anything about it. she can pretty much blackmail him into freeing herself, einar and thorfinn and master would have no choice but to listen to her. that'd be very evil of her though haha. i mean if the word gets out then master's life is pretty much finished.

thorfinn really might just be a overgrown child, it's nice to see he has einar with him :)

background was the same. and the animation was clearly a level beneath previous episodes, the movement was very weird throughout the episode. even i like vinland saga but please use less copium.

This episode was brutal this time around. While it was fun to see Einar getting excited from having a nice chat with Arnheid before he and Thorfinn went off to pray for their crops to grow like a pair of psychopaths, which made me laugh, the main talking point of the episode was dealing with the thieves, which turned out to be a brother and sister whose father has been missing for a long time and their mother is sick while looking after the youngest of the family.

Put on trial and deciding on what punishment was needed took a while to be decided, but the end result was for the kids to work their debt off on the farm itself, but not before 10 beatings each, but the brother took it all in order to protect his sister from any harm. Still, seeing Thorgil going "easy" on the first hit was brutal, so I can't blame Ketil at all for feeling so ashamed of himself for having to punish the kids this way.

He even fears his own son, Thorgil, and how menacingly strong he has become and resided all of his worries to Arnheid, as she's the only one where he can vent out without being labeled as a coward or a weakling. =(

arnheid is clearly going to be an issue in the future; she's into einar but is with "iron fist" and comforts him but clearly her face shows she's not happy with the situation. very dramatic episode.

Let's see, uh... Never! It seems a lot of anime only people are missint the entire point of the story, lol. But if is the action you wanna see, don't wory, there will be more, especially in the sencond half. It is not the focus, tho.

Damn, he sent the brother flying with a single strike. And that was him "going easy" on the kid.
Little sister would likely be dead after a single strike.

7.1/10, I liked that they beated those young criminals, I would liked even more if Ketil soft side wasn't show with inner dialogue but instead with small visual glimpses, it would give us more to think about.

Yikes, everybody wanting violence, but I guess that's to be expected with that era. Ketil wanting to just live peacefully, but can't knowing that there's always someone out there looking to pillage and kill for fun.

Money matters more. And if your market is larger then it's a win, censorship is a somewhat necessary evil when it comes to garnering broad appeal.

the animation has been average ever since ep 3 and background art in this ep was actually best from this season

Imagine being annoyed over average animation. I have zero issues with the look of this season.
You get what you're given and if you're unhappy then that's you feeling that lol
I ain't sitting there analyzing the composition of a fucking scene, why even be that critical.

"Iron Fist Ketil", but really he is a soft, kind-hearted man inside. 

As an anime-only, however, I don't think his entire backstory of his iron fist was a lie. I think that he is a character with several layers, and that deep down there truly is an iron fist reigning within.
