Tenryuu1 said: unfortunately the judges for the Oscars don't have much respect for animation as a medium so it's doubtful. God really... This series should samn it an Oscar get (as best Anime series and best regie 2022) in the next Oscar Award event, if not then it's a fucking shame!!! |
| It wasn't the best-looking episode at times, and the pacing felt a bit choppy, but the payoff was fantastic. I was stunned by Thorfinn's decision. I love when writers explore routes we aren't familiar with. And everything this season has done is near perfection, for me at least. This is one of my favorite anime seasons, with so many fantastic characters. And to think I used to hate Thorfinn. |
| I wanted blood but this is what a real man is about. This should be the final episode. Masterpiece. |
 |
| Carve it. Carve it into your flesh. Carve it into the land. Carve it into the sea. Carve it into your spoils. Carve it into your enemies. Carve it. Truly a masterpiece of an arc. |
| Thorfinn was brave to tell Canute of what he wanted to do, which was to run just so he can live in a place where peace reigns supreme. Canute's reaction to this was to laugh out loud, which did take me by surprise, but his words afterwards was nothing but admiration for Thorfinn and his ideology. That led to Canute withdrawing from the farm and changing his ways from here on out. I'm glad that Olmar has grown so much over these last few episodes, as he inspires to be like Thorfinn as he takes over the farm and builds it back up again. Another nice moment was Snake saying farewell to Thorfinn and Einar, revealing his true name, Roald, Son of Grim, to the pair. =) This was another stellar episode and I have a good feeling that the final episode will be an emotional one, going by the episode title and preview shown for it. |
| It appears that Thorfin's lack of violence (his idea of a perfect society) was the reason for the unsuccessful effort to settle in northern Canada. |
| What a truly beautiful man you are Thorfinn. He brings hope to such a bleak world, and hope to people who have endured all this time. It seems silly for Thorfinn to run away after all he's gone through, but he knows he can't win, but he can to somewhere far away, somewhere not binded by violence, oppression, or slavery. It might be far-fetched to some, but Thorfinn believes it's possible, and his voice rings so strong that even Canute believed in what great things Thorfinn could do that he couldn't do as king. No nonsense, no "talk no jutsu", just pure ideals, that everyone respects. Out of respect for Thorfinn, Canute left the farm alone. It doesn't stop there though, as Thorfinn is committed to creating a peaceful world, and Einar joins him on this journey. The handshake scene seemed very iconic, and it probably was in the manga. For Arnheid, for Askeladd, for everyone else who has fallen along the way, it is time to build a future that everyone can be proud of. Truly a transcendent episode, and one I'll remember for a long time to come. |
| Words can't express how beautiful this episode was, especially the handshake scene, I was overwhelmed with emotions. |
MiguelATM said: You gave OPM Season 2 a 9. A terrible adaption where few well animated fights has all going for. Your opinion truly means much.Nycro said: Are you really excited for Season 3? Balatic Sea War is the worst arc in the series. wow is it really worse than this boring piece of zzz??? Is thorfinn really going to be jesus christ himself and avoid every existing conflict by spreading peace and love??? yeah keep selling it as a masterpiece πππ |
| This shit is so beautiful bruh. Why did this episode make me emotional. 10/10 Canute really came around! I did not expect that Hearing Thorfinn and Einar talk about creating Vinland was beautiful. And them calling eachother brother made my heart warm. I'm so happy that Thorfinn is finally going back with Leif to see his mum and sister who must be worried sick!! I hope we get to see that reunion next ep before the season ends. I'm a bit bummed that Snake (Roald) isn't going with them. I think he's an awesome character and also super strong. But it makes sense for him to stay on the farm too. |

| Spectacular, possibly the single best episode of the entire series. |
  |
| Had a bit of a headache, but for 25 minutes, it completely disappeared |

| PEAKLAND SAGA HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE IT |
| ...Felt the chills down my spine. Peakland Saga. I will remember this episode forever. |
 |
| How was this not the last episode lol, it definitely felt like a last episode if I ever saw one. |
| Wow. I'm floored. Besides one slightly annoying cliffhanger in episode 21, this arc was flawless. This episode blew me away. I couldn't have asked for more from the resolution of Thornfinn and Canute's conversation. I can't believe he actually convinced him to leave. It makes me curious how the events with Canute and becoming king of England actually happened in history. Did he actually pull out of England like that due to whatever reason? For that matter did Thorfinn and Canute actually know each other? I would assume no. Anyways the back half of this episode was really special. It was the perfect resolution to the arc. It feels like the series could end here tbh. Thorfinn's gone through the goat character arc and is returning home to see his family. Then what? We gonna get to North America I guess but it does feel like it'll be a whole new show again. |
| I'm really bad with words. But damn, the only word I can describe this episode is "beautiful"! |
My Candies 2024:  |
| at first i was happy then i was like "oh right, arnheid died" and into depression i teared up but man, they should have show arnheid in the afterlife / her spirit somewhere in the episode, i would have cried so much |
