| Look Evangelion fans, now this is what you call an amazing psychological anime. 10/10 masterpiece |
| This episode is the perfect season finale for Vinland Saga S2! At long last, Thorfinn has finally returned home to reunite with his mother and sister. From here on out is the expedition to attain funds and then the actual journey to Vinland itself. I know I am a year late to watch this 2nd season, but I can't help it. The memories of reading the manga are still fresh. However, after watching this second-season adaptation, I am in awe, truly... I mean The first season was an awesome, amazing adaptation, but somehow the 2nd season is even better. Since there are fewer fighting sequences the animation is more polished for those few fights and the visuals are so fucking crisp. If you take a moment to pause during the many shots, the lighting effects for the scenes are so magnificent it's as if they got RTX and used it in this adaptation. And then there is the sound composition. The sound effects are spot on, and the OSTs along with the OPs and EDs are absolutely top-notch. Each and every single episode felt like a proper movie, the orchestra of instruments is so impactful and excellent. But more than the quality of the sound composition is the SELECTION AND TIMING of it. The direction of the show made perfect use of when and where to use specific OSTs and the lack thereof for certain scenes. Going into Vinland Saga 2nd season, I already knew the story from the manga, so I expected myself to refresh my mind and relish the character development Thorfinn went through as a slave. Yet more than that, I was met with far higher levels of quality than I expected, so much so that I felt as though I was watching this story for the first time all over again. Well done! The journey is still long for Thorfinn, he has been born anew but his path of redemption for his sins has yet to even begun. I hope the 3rd season is coming, Peakland Saga must live on! |

deg said: if this show does not get another season its fine to end it here since its a decent open ending  Yep, you got that right! And what a fantastic last episode this was! This whole series was fantastic and beautiful! And that family reunion was a very beautiful scene indeed! And also Ylva’s “handling” of Thorfinn which really did crack me up. (though not the best idea to punch him considering the fact that he had to face 100 punches a couple episodes back) Whether there is an S3 or not, this is been a fantastic series! 10/10 |

| That last montage showing the various characters in the very beginning of their own journeys, ending with Thorfinn's present and also beginning of his, might be my favourite scene in the whole season. Powerful stuff. 9.9/10 |
| Compared to first season, this was pretty weak imo. It's still really good anime, don't get me wrong. But Thorfinn going from annoying brat to annoying buddish monk didn't change much, and without Askeladd and action scenes, the story itself wasn't good enough to carry it. Now that I think about it... barely anything happened in 24 episodes. Usually I'd be the last person to complain about slow pace, but damn, I'm disappointed in this case. |
| i love this show so much |
  TOP SHOWS THIS FALL SEASON 1. Onepunchman Season 3 2. Gachiakuta 3. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray Part 2 |
| Ylva making some elite viking dude's hundred punches look like nothing made me smile so hard, not to mention Ari finally tying the knot with her lmao You can tell Thorfinn and Einar are fictional characters despite the historical setting because man, they would be immortalized if they were real. Stories like this stick with you for life, man. |
| This is truly the Vinland Saga which i sought. Most Remarkable adaptation I've ever seen in my life. what an incredible season & arc it has been. Throfinn's character development will be remembered forever. A masterpiece doesn't even begin to describe this season, the way it touched and moved me is incomparable to any other anime. I'm so grateful that the author decided to change the route of the story in this direction. Glad I was able to experience this journey with so many people. I'll cherish this show forever. Score 10/10. We are still waiting for Season 3 Announcement. Finished on 5th July 2024 at 15:16 Hrs IST.  |

| Not as good as the manga but this was a pretty good adaptation overall. I wish there were fewer episodes and better pacing and animation. 10/10 |
