**PAINFUL HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
The title of this episode is VERY fitting as there is lots of PAIN to go around -- but what a surprising episode! Or is it, since it's Vinland Saga? Thorfinn's resolve, his connection to his father, while still being true to himself and his ideals - it's so damn inspiring. I cannot WAIT to see what his bold decision is going to lead him to, but man --
-- Thorgil went all out, Snake proves he's a complex badass, and Arnheid...Rest i...

This show gets BETTER and BETTER, as we get to know more about Vash's character, while still building mystery and intrigue about him and his past!

We're finishing Volume 4 and starting Volume 5 today! And OH MY -- things with the mob of cultivators after Hua Cheng get INTERESTING and Xie Lian is NOT letting Hua Cheng live down his "transformation" any time soon -- of course, Hua Cheng has a way to get right back at Xie Lian, as he tries to uncover the events of their..."fight"...in the Thousand Lights Temple!

**HEADPHONE WARNING**
In preparation for Season 5 coming out this summer, I'm looking back over the volumes of manga that cover season 4 to see what was left out and altered from the anime. This was a VERY fun dive into a manga series that has such GORGEOUS artwork and some "extra" content that was fantastic!
July can't get here soon enough!

**BEASTLY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
We're starting the events of season 2 proper, now, and man -- the illustrations, the tension, and all the foreshadowing brought up in this volume! It's fantastic! I love seeing how the anime adapted these moments, especially the lead up with Sasha, Connie, and Ymir! Oh, and The Beast Titan just casually pops in for the first time...no big deal!
Thank you for watching with me and for all the support!

THIS SERIES -- it's a bold move to reveal just how dark and twisted their profession has made the main characters, but with only three episodes left, I'm left with so many questions, so much uncertainty, and so much that I just KNOW is left unsaid...and I have NO CLUE who to trust...if we can trust anyone!
