Read full review on AniList →A Worthy Successor To The Incredible First Season!
As a manga reader, I already knew how awesome this season was going to be. The only underlying worry with the change in studios was MAPPA giving it a proper adaptation. Needless to say, they have done a pretty decent job at it.
What is it that first comes to our minds when we think of the Golden Ag…

Where to even begin talking about a show like this man.
4 years ago I remember being visited by my middle brother during summer. I was living in the northern part of my country, really far away from the capital and as such far from most of my family members. But everyone got together for holidays,…

Vinland Saga is like a really bad bike accident. Everything is fun when you're riding, but when your bike chain breaks and you go tumbling to the ground, everything starts to feel like it's going in slow motion, and your life flashes in front of your eyes before you make contact. Vinland Saga season…

__Vinland Saga__ is a historical, adventure-epic manga by Makoto Yukimura. The first 8 volumes were adapted into a 24-episode anime season by Wit Studio. Season 1 was one of the __best anime of 2019__, so the much-awaited 2nd season of Vinland Saga was one of the __most anticipated anime of 2023__.…

Yeah... it is absolutely incredible. Season 1 was already stellar, the writing was amazing, the animation (aside from the ***-awful CGI background characters like those were so bad) was great and Askeladd was one of the best villains I had ever seen but Thorfinn, well he was good, but I did not real…

Preface: I will be using a lot of references based on the manga and some on the anime but you can still get the jist of what I am trying to convey. Still going to publish this under Vinland Saga S2 and not the manga itself due to only focusing mainly on the Farmland arc (besides a brief recap of Pro…

You know some shows are immediate classics and immediate favourites. Season one was one such show for me. I loved everything about it, the asinine action, brutal violence, conflict in Thorfinn, one of the absolute GOATs of anime villains in Askeladd, my favourite VA Ōtsuka Akio delivering an incredi…
Read full review on AniList →A true modern-masterpiece
Every once in a while a piece of media comes along, be it a song, a film or a TV show, that is so earth-shattering that you can only stop and stare at it, endlessly, mesmerised by its beauty. That's Vinland Saga and the metamorphosis it has undergone in its second season.
Season one was already one…
Read full review on AniList →Master-class in storytelling, a masterful adaptation of a Manga series that is a masterpiece
The story that I have chosen to review is that was told in Vinland Saga Season 2. Following the prologue that was season 1 of Vinland Saga, which it was and will be the most action-heavy part of the series, season 2 begins an arc in which it is the very opposite to that of Season 1. If you expect it…

__THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS FOR VINLAND SAGA S1 AND 2__
Vinland Saga S2 is, to say the least, a pretty controversial season. It almost feels like a different anime compared to S1. While S1 was based around lots of fighting, gore, death, and action, S2 just disregards all of it. The pacing…

Read full review on AniList →A deeply necessary continuation, but not a perfect one.
A sequel can do a lot of interesting things to the story it’s a part of. A great sequel can catapult an already good story into greatness. A bad sequel can squander whatever potential the first part was building up, or be so inconsequential that you can just pretend it doesn’t exist. But the hardest…

Vinland Saga, you’ve heard of it, it is this incredibly serious, mature and realistic series telling a tale of Vikings, rich in great characters, whose visuals are breathtaking and it has one of the greatest stories to ever be conceived in manga and anime… except, all of this is a lie.
