Vinland saga is a quest story, not a quest for power or revenge, but a deep inner quest, one that will make a child a monster and a monster a human being. This season 2 is going to be amazing
True and the more I see Vinland Saga anime flourish (which I’m rooting for, it’s my 3rd favorite manga I’ve ever read), the more for other potential mature pieces of work such as Vagabond, 20th Century Boys, Oyasumi PunPun and even a true Berserk adaptation
@EMS Sasuke is underrated I doubt PunPun will ever get animated. That's like another whole level that anime needs to evolve in order to get made. But Vagabond, 20th Century Boys, and Berserk definitely have a chance after MAPPA picked Vinland up. And I have to have some level of hope MAPPA is looking at how profitable Berserk can be.
@@aytony4090 You may be right about PunPun and I guess the main problem with Berserk and Vagabond that I didn't think about is the fact both stories aren't finished so maybe they would finish the anime like a HxH 2011
I forgot that people actually argued against you on the fact Askeladd was technically Thorfinns father figure. It's weird that people would cause it's clear that is how he saw Askeladd even if he doesn't wanna admit it
The manga even confirms it later SPOILER Leif says "Follow your heart, my son" to Thorfinn and there's the "ghosts" of Thors and Askeladd standing at his sides smiling at him.
How young are these viewers to not know the visual and literary signs for father figures. People expose themselves on the internet by talking too much.
@66Snuffleupagus either they just have sadly never had a father figure so they don't know what it is or they are to young to understand what season 1 was trying to do with that relationship
I can already tell this season is gonna be adapted masterfully, at so many points in the episode I felt like I was going to tear up just because of the shear spectacle and how well it was being produced.
@ENDginuity Thorfinn has been away from his family for like 10+ years and became consumed completely by revenge, then had his entire reality broken when that revenge didn't come true or turn out like he thought it would. So no he's not thinking of his family because at this point he is a broken shell of a man
@@endginuity8391 especially given all that he's done and what he's currently going through? I thoroughly believe that he doesn't even think he deserves to see her again, let alone be happy.
Let just say this. The farm arc is the best arc in manga history imo. The character development is second to none. It’s soo emotional and has so much grit.
Last season ended with Thorfinn seeing Askeladd being killed and attempting to kill Canute only to get restrained. He was then sold into slavery for attempted regicide, and because his life whole life was Askeladd he doesn't know how to move on
a lot of seinen manga get good adaptations though. parasyte, monster, black lagoon, love is war, march comes in like a lion, mushishi, space brothers, kaiji, Acca 13 and more.
Translation Notes HÁVAMÁL ,Hávamál A poem found within the Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Nordic poems. The title translates to "sayings of the high one," and the contents of the poem are attributed to Odin. The Japanese translation, when not simply titled "Hávamál," is known as "the song of Odin" or "the proverbs of Odin." Hávamál is a gnomic poem, meaning that its verses are meant to serve as lessons or advice on customary topics, such as the laws of hospitality for both guest and host.

I haven’t seen Season 1 for over a year and Thorfinn walking out looking depressed with his theme Dual Blades playing had me tearing up. The writing and character development in this show is amazing.
I have a feeling this is gonna be AOTY for me🤝🏾the voice acting,shots and OST’s in this episode alone were great. This arc focuses on character development and story so it should be amazing!
Unfortunately, a shonen anime wins AOTY every year. It's just based on popularity. Last year was the kind of exception - but AOT is still too popular even it has seinen features
@@navo159 having violence and profanity makes it a edgy shonen not a seinen like. Seinen manga/ anime focus more on philosophical, psychological stuff.

Hope you enjoy this season as much as many of us did reading it. I have very high expectations given how incredible this arc is and so far MAPPA and the OG team from WIT are delivering. I cried in the first episode, I'm either getting soft in my old age or it was just that good, maybe both. 😆
They were not from wit. They are freelancers. Also What do you mean Mappa and OG team? What's Mappa is doing here. The core staff is The same. Only CGI director has changed (for the better, thank god). But fun fact. The director joined Mappa as The in-house staff member. The schedule is better than The first season. And the compositing is improved, Also the art style is a bit more detailed.
never have i seen a farming tycoon animated so well props to mapa im gonna love seeing the grass grow for the next 12 or 13 episodes 10/10 peak anime for sure
''Citizen of Capland'' 💀 I didn´t know you guys reacted to this show so I went to check the first season and let me tell you, this channel has come a long way in the best of ways! I'm glad the channel has become this successful, lots of production value with the years! :)
Lupa is going to Hell for making fun of people being in shock due to a traumatizing event xddd. let's remember folks... not everyone reacts the same way to certain situations.
From the OP to the episode itself, the story presented and the characterization all up to the ED was simply pure cinematic beauty, and absolute brilliance. I have known these people for 5 minutes and I'm already here crying. Einar and Throfinn, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Ya know, I don't care what anyone else says, as far as I'm concerned this is already anime of the year - at the very least in the sequel category
I loved the opening and ending for this episode. Great to be back after all these years. I just watched yall season 1 reaction few weeks ago. Roshi gang and Thorfinn all have grown in these 3 years.
I think the writing on this is excellent when it comes to capturing human emotion. When he is sitting there with his family on a beautiful day, birds chirping , and the frame freezes on her and she says “we haven’t lost “
This is momentous for me because I first started watching reaction videos with Vinland saga, with you 3! You were my first and are still the best 3 years in. Half the people I watch now is because you guys finished watching everything and I wanted more so any reaction I watch it's because of you. I am going to enjoy this. Plus: As a manga reader I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea this season but this is an important season.
Yeah. Jokes are fun and all, but it's disappointing when they're all laughing because of something Lupa said and miss something. Especially when missing it confuses them later on. Like damn if ya paid attention you'd know what's up. I appreciate that they don't spam pause like other reactors but still
Okay I know it's his thing to crack jokes every ten seconds but I feel like Lupa really gotta chill with this series. He's coming in way too loud for a show like Vinland saga. Save that for Jojo's or something lol.
Roshi - visiting clapland with tourist visa Roshi - citizen of clapland Roshi - Running for office in clapland oh my godd dude, editor you didn't have to do him like that 😭😭
Pretty sure they check the teeth for cavities and possibilities of a tooth infection. I think that woman on the boat had a tooth infection and it was affecting her brain.
I'd just like to point out that in the manga, the dude looking for a boy with a cute face straight up handles Einar's "equipment" before moving on to others, and the slaver is just like "oh, THAT kind of slave".
Damn I forgot most of season 1 and I ain't rewatching all 20+ episodes again and yet I feel like I remember the necessary stuff anyways. This season gonna be deep from the looks of it, glad it's gonna be more character grounded rather than action
Askeladd does truly hate Nordic warriors. It stems from his Roman-Celtic ethnicity/ancestry. Romans historically consider non-Romans inferior. This was INTENSIFIED on Askeladd's part because of the technological superiority of Rome. For example: Only Askeladd wore the Roman breastplate because the methods of crafting such armour were lost after the fall of Roman Empire(It wasn’t just to make Askleadd look fashionable). Similar situation with aqueducts, Roman formations, et cetera, et cetera(Rome was just too advanced). Imagine being Askeladd, living in the 11th century with basically 15th century technology. Imagine what he must have felt towards those around him. Askeladd literally considered them “pigs”. It’s much deeper than what can be explained in this short paragraph(I haven’t even gotten into what the Anglo-Saxons and Danes did to his mother/The Celts).
Havamål is kind of like Odins guidebook to life. It's a real thing, old as hell. It's pretty good though, Odins (or whomever actually wrote it) got a pretty good philosophy.
7:49 when einar was looking at the sea and it began to get twisted it reminded me of s1 when thors told thorfinn not to look into the sea it will hypnotize you
Ya know it is almost like in desperate and scary situations humans react in a variety of ways, including being shocked to the point of not being able to act. In fact, if you look at human history, human psychology and studies done as we have advanced that is the most common response in such situations. So yeah puff out your chest and beat on it all like "what're you doing?" when there is a better than 50/50 chance that if you were in the exact same situation as Einar you'd have reacted in the exact same way, real easy to talk a big game when you sitting in your climate controlled modern home without so much as even the smallest of daily worries anyone from this time period would have. Roshi, love ya but Lupa and Sheera really kill reactions for more nuanced series/moments.
I just went back to start watching your season 1 reactions and god damn Lupa is not lying about the old studio having a mad echo 💀 Still finna watch it though, ain't tryna miss out on peak content
Season 2 of Vinland Saga has been slated for 24 episodes according to Blu-ray pre-ordering/listing information. Thorfinn is still the protagonist of the series, but Einar is definitely the deuteragonist of this arc. So something for anime-onlys to keep in mind. After season 1 (i.e. the Prologue arc), the Vinland Saga series stops being anywhere as near battle-focused, action-heavy, or concerned with political intrigue (at least politics focusing on monarchy). It becomes much more character study focused and historical fiction focused (for those not in the know Thorfinn is a fictionalized version of a real 11th century explorer/trader of the same name, who’s main primary sources come from two Icelandic Sagas histories). Also fun bit of trivia, this arc is often called the “Farmland Saga” arc of the series. But in addition to Wineland, one of the other common translations for the Norse word Vinland is literally “Farmland”. i.e. the most common name of this arc is literally just the series name but in modern English. Another bit of trivia about this episode, the first-half of it is an anime-original creation/expansion of Einar’s backstory (that is told largely by a couple pages of dialogue in the manga). Also in the manga the buyer who was looking for more “cute looking men” to buy as a slave actually copped a feel of Einar’s genitals (as part of the “inspection-process”). It was after that in the manga, that Einar made his first escape attempt.
Bro thank you so much for this❤ please do this for every episode because I’m an anime only and if i start hearing that this anime diverts from its original source i dont wanna waste any time and ruin my experience ill just start reading the manga cuz i really love vinalnd saga 👍🏽
Man, I'm so glad you guys picked this back up. This arc has the potential to be some of the best anime of all time (it is for me at least). It's very different from season 1, but I really, really, really hope you guys stick with it!
King Sweyn(Svhen) of Denmark offered Askeladd a stark choice: the security of his motherland Wales, or the life of his master, Prince Canute(Can-oot). Askeladd's answer was immediate: He struck off Sweyn's head. The meeting of military leaders erupted into chaos after this act of regicide(the action of killing a King), but Canute recognized the play at hand, and killed Askeladd himself, thereby accomplishing Askeladd's aim. Canute immediately took the throne. But after witnessing the end of his father figure, Thorfinn was left empty inside. He was eventually sold into slavery to work on a farm.

3 years later and you guys still here and getting better and better, hope i can enjoy my favorite shows with you guys for next 10 years and more
Can't wait for the full version of the ending to drop
So happy that Vinland Saga is back
Man Thorfinn looking older than he actually is is gonna be a running joke soon once they reveal it.
I just hope Lupa can appreciate the serious moments instead of cracking jokes.
You really think he’s capable of that ??? 😭😭
He’s not gonna do that. He always tries sooo hard to be funny. Not that it is funny anyway 😂😂
He tries too hard tho, it kills the vibe.
You guys must be fun at parties hey. 😂
Lupasan is such a jerk.What a bummer!

oh my godd dude, editor you didn't have to do him like that 😭😭
Hope Lupa doesn’t keep cracking jokes during serious moments it ruins it. It’s fine every once and awhile but he does it everytime.
Fr like literally all of the intro so far they aren't focusing a bit so
Nvm he's just never stopping
@@cluster4583 facts bro hope he notices 😭
Pretty sure they check the teeth for cavities and possibilities of a tooth infection. I think that woman on the boat had a tooth infection and it was affecting her brain.
I don't think so, she was coughing like crazy and slave master checked the throat if it was swollen
I just finished watching the season 1 playlist and daaaaang you guys upgraded the quality of your videos
Lupa don't forget your clown makeup for next ep ✊️
Hyped for this series and your reaction to it.
I'd just like to point out that in the manga, the dude looking for a boy with a cute face straight up handles Einar's "equipment" before moving on to others, and the slaver is just like "oh, THAT kind of slave".
I don’t think that Thorfinn himself saw him as one or thinks of him of as one, but he definitely was a father figure to him 100%
Damn I forgot most of season 1 and I ain't rewatching all 20+ episodes again and yet I feel like I remember the necessary stuff anyways. This season gonna be deep from the looks of it, glad it's gonna be more character grounded rather than action
Askeladd does truly hate Nordic warriors.
It stems from his Roman-Celtic ethnicity/ancestry. Romans historically consider non-Romans inferior. This was INTENSIFIED on Askeladd's part because of the technological superiority of Rome. For example: Only Askeladd wore the Roman breastplate because the methods of crafting such armour were lost after the fall of Roman Empire(It wasn’t just to make Askleadd look fashionable). Similar situation with aqueducts, Roman formations, et cetera, et cetera(Rome was just too advanced). Imagine being Askeladd, living in the 11th century with basically 15th century technology. Imagine what he must have felt towards those around him. Askeladd literally considered them “pigs”. It’s much deeper than what can be explained in this short paragraph(I haven’t even gotten into what the Anglo-Saxons and Danes did to his mother/The Celts).
Havamål is kind of like Odins guidebook to life. It's a real thing, old as hell. It's pretty good though, Odins (or whomever actually wrote it) got a pretty good philosophy.
Editor , THANK YOU.
7:49 when einar was looking at the sea and it began to get twisted it reminded me of s1 when thors told thorfinn not to look into the sea it will hypnotize you
Ya know it is almost like in desperate and scary situations humans react in a variety of ways, including being shocked to the point of not being able to act. In fact, if you look at human history, human psychology and studies done as we have advanced that is the most common response in such situations. So yeah puff out your chest and beat on it all like "what're you doing?" when there is a better than 50/50 chance that if you were in the exact same situation as Einar you'd have reacted in the exact same way, real easy to talk a big game when you sitting in your climate controlled modern home without so much as even the smallest of daily worries anyone from this time period would have. Roshi, love ya but Lupa and Sheera really kill reactions for more nuanced series/moments.
Not that deep
@@Sway_Boogie it is kinda annoying bro they always act like that😂 they expect every character to be emotion less sasuke and scream " MOVE " " RUN"
Sure people grieve, but most try to move away from the incoming murder while it happenes.
roshi me and my partner dead ass did the same "party isnt over thing" our jaws dropped.
Thorfinn attacked Canute at the end of season 1, Canute didn't want to kill him so slavery was the punishment
I just went back to start watching your season 1 reactions and god damn Lupa is not lying about the old studio having a mad echo 💀
Still finna watch it though, ain't tryna miss out on peak content
Let's goo starting off good , the op the ed the animation everything was amazing mappa going to Iceland embassy just for that intro was amazing
Season 2 of Vinland Saga has been slated for 24 episodes according to Blu-ray pre-ordering/listing information.
Thorfinn is still the protagonist of the series, but Einar is definitely the deuteragonist of this arc.
So something for anime-onlys to keep in mind. After season 1 (i.e. the Prologue arc), the Vinland Saga series stops being anywhere as near battle-focused, action-heavy, or concerned with political intrigue (at least politics focusing on monarchy). It becomes much more character study focused and historical fiction focused (for those not in the know Thorfinn is a fictionalized version of a real 11th century explorer/trader of the same name, who’s main primary sources come from two Icelandic Sagas histories).
Also fun bit of trivia, this arc is often called the “Farmland Saga” arc of the series. But in addition to Wineland, one of the other common translations for the Norse word Vinland is literally “Farmland”. i.e. the most common name of this arc is literally just the series name but in modern English.
Another bit of trivia about this episode, the first-half of it is an anime-original creation/expansion of Einar’s backstory (that is told largely by a couple pages of dialogue in the manga).
Also in the manga the buyer who was looking for more “cute looking men” to buy as a slave actually copped a feel of Einar’s genitals (as part of the “inspection-process”). It was after that in the manga, that Einar made his first escape attempt.
Bro thank you so much for this❤ please do this for every episode because I’m an anime only and if i start hearing that this anime diverts from its original source i dont wanna waste any time and ruin my experience ill just start reading the manga cuz i really love vinalnd saga 👍🏽
the saga starts now, everything that happened before that moment was a prologue
lol i just watched the whole first season last weeek then went and watched u guys react to it! didnt even know season two was coming this is lit
Man, I'm so glad you guys picked this back up. This arc has the potential to be some of the best anime of all time (it is for me at least). It's very different from season 1, but I really, really, really hope you guys stick with it!
Great reaction and review as always guys
Sheera gon have a tuff time predicting the farmland saga if she still thinking thorfinn lookin for revenge 🙃
Why do you guys talk like that? Just say what you mean: "Sheera, Thorfinn is not out for revenge".
@@aureliusanderssen6779 it's just different ways of talking it's not a big deal. He isn't submitting an academic essay
12:04 Roshi clapping himself, but admitted it also🤝😂
I can't believe the show had me crying 😭 at the start of season 2
"Running for office" 🤣🤣🤣
Get ready for one of the best character development arcs in anime
Yeah Farming is for chads, both Musashi and Thorfin did that. Sad Guts didn't farm
@@simplyrohith2163 He's a lead farmer motherf*ckers!
@@simplyrohith2163 tbf 🤣 he is kind of farming in the manga now but with elves and skull knight giving him life lessons
Lupa: there are a lot of black holes I fall into
Me:yeaaaah pause
Literally everyone : damn that's tuff... Lupa : 🤣🤣🤣🤣
King Sweyn(Svhen) of Denmark offered Askeladd a stark choice: the security of his motherland Wales, or the life of his master, Prince Canute(Can-oot). Askeladd's answer was immediate: He struck off Sweyn's head. The meeting of military leaders erupted into chaos after this act of regicide(the action of killing a King), but Canute recognized the play at hand, and killed Askeladd himself, thereby accomplishing Askeladd's aim. Canute immediately took the throne. But after witnessing the end of his father figure, Thorfinn was left empty inside. He was eventually sold into slavery to work on a farm.
This season will be one of the best and very emotional.
@6:17 LMAO love that Northman reference
Its time for Farmland Saga to start!
2:02 *PaRtY is oVeRRRR*
Man i really wasnt expecting Thorfinn to be a slave bro.
