Review of Vinland Saga Season 2
Very few works attempt to answer the philosophically meaningful questions that most of us have to make sense of in our adulthood. This season I think explores human nature is a fascinating manner; and in a manner I grow appreciative of as I grow older. Human nature was one of the more under rated aspects of the themes and plot of the first season; and this season does more of the same. The music and animation are doubtlessly beautiful. The themes are rich, that left me at times wondering if I should think of Vinland Saga as a Christian work and presenting to us atheodicy. The settings are richly developed and the characters masterfully done. The plot was handled competently. Though the most elite aspect of this season will be characterization.
I think the strongest aspect of this season is the character work. Characterization has been done well and i doubtlessly think this season gives a message much needed in the zeitgeist of our age post Covid.
Where does one move on to, once we have lost everything? What does it mean to move forward? What is it "to love" contrasted "to lust"?
I consider this a great anime. Well worth the time of watching and reflecting upon.
