It's finally back! After that cliffhanger the season ended on. Most anticipated of the day!

Thorfinn enslaved? Is this because he attacked the prince last season? His facial hair needs a trim and his hair a comb.
The other slave dude seems to have been through some sh!t. Will he join Thorfinn?(Don't answer this.)
But honestly, the dude could have carried and ran away or at least made an effort. Instead of literally shouting, revealing your location to more people, and just staying in one place.

About 4 years is quite the wait.

Indeed. I was wondering if I should dive into the manga or not.

manga is worth it . trust me read a few but stopped since I wanted to witness season 2 then hop back in.

Shit, if I start, I will not be able to focus on school. Guess later.

with the anime finally starting i actually think it would be more enjoyable to just watch weekly and then dive into the manga afterwards. MAPPA does good work, let them show you this beautiful story

I still prefer the animation of wit on Vinland saga but it's a new season and the animation is fantastic hd

I agree I love Mappa but I still prefer Wit when it comes to Vinland Saga and AoT but still this animation is good too.

Yeah, but let's not look past how much the animators get paid.

Wish for kingdom to be reanimated by MAPPA

I feel you so much! School really sucks sometimes huh xD.

same here

I've read some of its panel and that was amazing. That angry kid thorfinn is now gone his goal or revenge got taken away

Don't look at me with that, I haven't even started that my self.

lol

yep deffinetly worth to read the manga i did and its awesome but rn since its getting animated id watch the anime first and then ream manga. anime leaves some thing out most of the time but if you read it you lose motivation to look at the anime.

I can't wait to see how thorfinn became like this and they're now farmland saga killing is not good anymore

i did asap, why wait? not hard to read, we read subtitles rofl

It was worth it. The animation, soundtrack, story, characters, it's all so beautiful 🥹.

Yesu 😁

If only that eirad was it run with his sister Lotte then they would still be alive instead of staying there knowing those viking will probably kill them

IKR And it’s gonna last 24 episodes same as season 1

I expected no less. ^w^

Because anything less is unacceptable

Indeed

Failure would be met with violence.

wow has it really been 4 years? time flies. Still amazed how great milet was. The singers here are awesome as well as well as the sound effects etc.

Indeed

To be fair we kinda lost two years when people literally lost their minds.

Its been that long SHEESH

Yes

LMAO! As a bleach fan back in the day, I just had to laugh at you >: ]

LMAO! Same applies as I'm a Full Metal Panic fan XD

Same, tho I didn't wait and just read the manga.

Looking back that was probably the smarter choice >.> Once I start an anime though I refuse for pricinple reasons... that an spoilers >.>

For me I usually go for the manga cuz in most cases it's the better choices, most animes are worse than their original manga. You rarely see an anime that out do the manga, like s2 of bleach for examble, it truly out did the manga. You can try giving other animes manga a chance, that or light novel. Light Novel> Manga> Anime

For me it's never really about one out doing the other. When I find a particularly good manga, it's just amazing to see the story and characters come to life in the anime. I really enjoyed DN Angel, but mostly because I read the manga first, I' say. Otherwise it wouldn't have interested me >: ]

It's been 4 years since the last animation?!?!?! Holy sh** time moves fast, wtf

It's been 4 years.
Wow. Time flies really eh

U can watch the whole season on netflix 😮

Yeah, And season 2 since looks like Netflix has the license rights to it. S1 came on Netflix like several months back.

it's been 4 years? Ho Lee Fuk

Yep

Wait it's been 4 years???? I swear it was like 1.5 at most

Am i the only one so confused why soooo many actually watchable anime all out at ones! Like 15 animes.. what a start into 2023

I'm just glad they didn't released aot yet because this would be anime if there's going to be a lit of banger anime this season

They planned this.

Vinland Saga is literally one of the only ones on my list for me lmao. Quality seinen manga can be counted on one's hand.

yup if only some novels they adapt are faithful to the sources it would be more seinen would come just like classroom of the elites novel vs anime. I really dont understand why shitty animators do this when the medium was a seinen and suddenly looks like a shounen troupe when a lot of manga should be a seinen story. just look at hajime no ippo as well as tokyo ghoul both are being categorized nowadays as shounen when in fact both are seinen stories.

for instance even the romance genre of domekano was being dropped due to the story when in fact it was promoted as a seinen too.

Yes he literally attacked the Royal family in the form of the prince, as a low ranking warrior. The Prince could have easily had him executed but saved his life by simply having him deprived of his rights and sold to slavery (this is obviously not like some modern dude attacking another dude with a knife, one has to take the historical social roles into account where the King/Prince was almost a God in medieval societies).

This is a very important history lesson for those that idolize Nordic society and think Vikings were just a bunch of cool raiders. Pagan Scandinavia was pretty much the only place in Europe where slavery was still a thing (thralls). In Western Europe it had been abolished by the Church, as "enslaving another Christian" was forbidden by scripture, after centuries of slavery thriving in Antiquity/Roman Empire.

Slaves permeated Nordic life and had no rights whatsoever. They were used for labor/agriculture (as seen in the anime), sexual uses, anything really. Of course this isn't to say that Africa, the middle East/islamic civilisation, and other civilisations did not have slavery. They certainly did. In fact the main customers for slaves captured by Nordic peoples were the Arabs & islamic civilisations (which they brought with their ships through rivers and seas).

But it's still jarring in a Europe which had effectively abolished slavery and lived in relative medieval peace.
