Vinland Saga S2 Ep 12

THIS MF ANIME!!!!! 🔥

Vinland Saga S2 Ep 12

Comments

I mean there are tons of great anime with mature stories out there already and I do agree it really fleshes out and expands the medium positively. I'm likely being pedantic here but we do already get mature storytelling in anime pretty frequently, whether or not its a successful adaptation of it is a different discussion and yes its very rare we get something of Vinland Saga's caliber (though I think that has more to do with just how high caliber Vinland is rather than an issue with anime) but I just want to point out mature stories are actually fairly common even if it's not necessarily every season. Also luckily we can always go back and watch the boatload of mature stories that have already aired. I definitely agree we need more of this and less isekai/ecchi low hanging fruit but I don't think its quite that dire either.

it seems I and many thought ... its grade should be A→A+, animating is well, and theme is so deep at this time. Those who dislike the anime for its unrealistic explession way or only for kids...etc, should only watch movie Great R〜GOD F〜SHARK N or 🇯🇵's ZATOICH(actually I love them all though). well anyway...from next epis are (I don't know how to say...) something ++.

More greatness to come. Also new op which will be fun. Reminder if you do plan on doing a video for the full version of this current one I'd personally highly recommend this (orchestral?) version, even if just for you to give a listen on your own time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq3HE-IuyMI

This show proves the point to me that more mature stories are desperately needed in Anime. We only ever get a show this mature after another 30 issekai or ecchi shows. Shows like these are what elevate the medium of Anime as entertainment.

i mean, when i read the manga after season 1 it was definitely not a story that i could predict with the tropes i knew of. everything makes sense in retrospect but i was consistently led astray. you can see a bit of that in season 1 with the revenge plot not panning out, and it just keeps going. the author is not reliant on tropes at all and its crazy. like trying to build a tower without a scaffold.

Thorgil might be a violent maniac but he earned a lot of respect points for sniffing out the setup and defending his family. Scary dude to have as an enemy.

Think it might've been my comment you mentioned about not knowing what's coming. Didn't really think of it quite that way. I was more so hoping to maybe take your thinking in a different direction. I'll keep that sort of thing in mind though. Maybe it was just my nostalgia of watching this the first time and being totally blindsided. I'm going to respectfully disagree about the similarities between Thorkell and Thorgil. That they love to fight is where the similarities begin and end IMO. Thorgil is more like Bjorn I think. He just loves violence and killing. As we learned in his duel with Thorfinn, Thorkell is much more introspective than he seems. He sees battle as an opportunity to perfect himself. "I'm missing something too" he said. I think for Thorgil, battle is all there is just because he loves it. For Thorkell, there being something other than battle, like there was for Thors, just hasn't occurred to him.

This is one of the best mid-season episodes ever made. Sets everything up so well.

Medics in this anime got their work cut out for them.

Thorfinn at the end of the episode looking into the sunset: "Hey Einar do you hear combat music?"

Brodd said “先王陛下の軍団の者” which means “member of the former king’s forces” he is not a Canute’s guard. and also he is not a former king’s guard as well. mistranslated.
