Ah yes, the good old "to prevent war, just murder anyone who wants it" solution. It never fails.

I think that if Thorfinn fought Eonar and kicked his rear end, that would be enough to get him to calm down.

oof, good chapter i appreciate that ivar isn't actually plotting anything and really was almost oblivious to the political situation and read the intergroup conflict completely wrong, it explains things like completely misreading thorfinn and not even considering hild also incredibly sad that karli just assumes hild is going to just go into her workshop and invent world peace. i hope he never has to lose his innocence in this series

A few times in some earlier chapters he seemed pretty clever as he was the one who did the best arguments. But until this chapter I did not realize he basically caught on to near everything.

S2 of the anime is really good, thanks for coming to my TED talk. I really like the change from the manga that Einar actually does try to kill Thorfinn instead of immediately thinking better of it, and has his calling Thorfinn his friend delayed a bit until after they've worked together a longer. I think it sells their respective traumas a bit better.

MonsterEnvy posted:I don't think Einar actually does. He goes a lot farther with it than he did in the manga and seems to be far more conflicted about the realization that he can't do it. I agree with Sydin that it's a good change. Together with the stuff like spending first episode on his backstory, I feel that anime Einar is a lot more rounded character than he was at this point in the manga.

The Vinland Saga anime’s first season was absolutely incredible and it was a shame it was stuck in amazon jail. I’m hoping that season 2 continues to be awesome, and maybe this time it gets some popularity.

https://twitter.com/DanKantori/status/1620469838866173952 Seriously the anime is good. MonsterEnvy posted:I don't think Einar actually does. The whole sequence where Einar straddles Thorfinn while he's sleeping and briefly tries to choke him to death is anime original. Likewise the part where he sounds off on Thorfinn as selfish for saying nothing good has ever happened in his life when he's alive and Einar's family is dead doesn't happen in the manga: there he just wakes Thorfinn up after the nightmare and then when Thorfinn asks why says it's because they're friends. A declaration which was also moved to the last scene of the most recent anime episode, where I think it fits better since it comes after Einar has spent months working alongside Thorfinn. As Lt. Lizard said all this along with the increased focus on Einar's backstory I think makes him a much stronger character than he is in the manga, and also fits in better with the overarching story themes that healing and change are possible even after experiencing the absolute lowest of possible lows.

So, chapter 200 of Vinland Saga has been out for about a week. Things are coming to a head, and it's not looking good (in-setting, the manga looks amazing). Apparently Yukimura has been glued to his writing desk, and that's why it's taking so long, as he's trying *really hard* to get it right. https://mangadex.org/chapter/9bd64c40-057a-467d-aec2-b422e78ad8a5

If you haven't seen it yet they brought back Survive Said the Prophet to do S2 OP 2 and it's an absolute goddamn banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkTj2Hk6nEc Aoi posted:So, chapter 200 of Vinland Saga has been out for about a week. I'm very curious to see how Yukimura approaches the ending. Considering his personal views on violence I can't imagine he's going to go with a totally downer ending about conflict being unavoidable, but unless he plans to completely veer away from the Sagas this story is going to end with Thorfinn ultimately failing and having to go back to Iceland with his tail between his legs, and then dying shortly after. I certainly don't envy having to navigate such a tricky narrative situation.

I have been desperately hoping for Vinland Saga to end as alternate history rather than historical fiction since probably around where season 2 of the anime will end. I don’t want a bittersweet or tragic ending, I don’t want Thorfinn to fail and I don’t want Thorfinn to die thinking he made peace only for the genocide of the native americans to happen. I want Thorfinn to make peace with the natives and we get an aside that Christopher Columbus died on his way to the new world (died badly).

Eiba posted:He's quite neatly given us a 2nd Thorfinn who can go back to Iceland and get mistaken in the historical record for the leader of the expedition. Though even that ending is tragic as Thorfinn 2.0 is a good translator and has a good relationship with the natives. On the one hand that would be kind of a neat way to do it and also a nice callback to the whole Ketil situation, but also yeah that's a lovely ending for Bug Eyes who's a good boy, and it's still not super clean because in the Sagas Gudrid and Snorri go back to Iceland with him and Snorri goes on to be kinda important to Iceland's early medieval history. I don't think we're getting full on alt-history, but I do expect the vagueness of the Sagas to be taken advantage of to make the landing of the ultimate fate of the settlement a bit softer.

It's been fan speculation for awhile but the most recent episode of the anime confirms that Snake is a former member of the Varangian Guard. Also man, the expanded scenes with Gardar are absolutely heartbreaking. This season of the anime has done a phenomenal job of balancing delivering the audience compelling action while also ruminating on how abhorrent war and the consequences of systemic violence truly are.

Yeah, this season of the Vinland Saga anime has been incredible imo. I know some fans who hadn't read the manga were not ready for the big shift in pacing and tone, but I think the anime production team did a great job adapting the farm arc. The anime original Gardar stuff and the episode where Thorfinn has his dream and realizes he feels guilty over all the people he killed and swears off violence are probably two of the strongest episodes of the whole series. Also Arnheid's VA has been incredible. A cut above most anime VAs in my opinion.

I agree with everything except the Gardar thing. I thought it was overly long and it already got the point across quickly and didn't need to reiterate it so much. Less is more!

Apparently, there were plans for a whole episode about Gardar's background, but they couldn't make it fit in the schedule. Constantinople is just cursed to never appear in Vinland Saga. I guess you could say... it's been a long time gone.

Gonna be honest, I don't think I can force myself to finish the 2nd season. Just reading the conclusion to the arc was brutal, I don't know if I could safely watch it without absolutely losing it.
