Review of Vinland Saga Season 2

I have the same feeling I had with manga. It is Vinland Saga, there is a lot to love. But pacing is way too slow, or what I felt with manga at this point is that it stumbles around a lot. There are a lot of very interesting parts and scenes, but there was also a few somewhat pointless sidestories and uninteresting dilemas. At most I see it as an achievement, author managed to turn a war tale into something pacifistic, yet still somewhat interesting. Also, I simply don't like first opening and ending. They are not bad, but S1 had many bangers and compared to them,they are just plain. Also, I dislike how loud piano tends to be in emotional moments. I am trying to feel the scene, but instead I feel piano is the most pronounced (and annoying) part of many sad scenes.
