Review of Vinland Saga Season 2
Story (9) : This season even the action is very little but all the stories are really slow but with stages but this anime executes the story very well. Even though the story is ordinary and the dialogue is ordinary but they execute the story very well so as not to get bored. Also quite a lot of plot twists. In this anime continues the story of Thorfinn starting his new life from the previous incident. And his character development is very good. and in the new environment it brings a very interesting story and there are also many good characters. There are also manyemotional parts that I think are very hit. Like man, I thought it was going to be boring like just talking a lot with ordinary dialogue but I enjoyed the story
Characters (9) :
I think what makes season 2 carried is the characters. Thorfinn's character development, who was originally a child who only wanted revenge, now he thinks maturely and avoids violence because of his bad experiences on the battlefield. and new characters like Einer, he is really an emotional person and sometimes has anger issues. but that's because he really cares about other people. Then in the new world, characters like Snake, Thorgil, Ketil, Arnheid, Syveskel, and many side characters were very well written. Then there are characters from season 1 like Canute & Floki. What I like is Snake, Thorgil & Canute.
Snake is a very chill person, easy to talk to, and a soldier, his behavior is like the opposite of askeladd. Then thorgil is like thorkell but he is a good brother, there is still good behavior and Canute is really manned up than before. Then here there is a backstory of the character that is sad and still felt until now. then there is a character who initially liked this character then hated him and liked him again as if nothing had happened. On top of all, the characters spice it up this season
Visual (9) :
Mappa did a great job, the visuals feel like a survival world and natural. The cinematography is very good, the camera angle/shot is also good. Then there is the color visual that makes the situation change because it follows the character's emotions what they feels now. Very beautiful
Audio (8) :
I'm not too hype with the Opening & Ending but what makes me Hype is the OST which makes me goosebumps, the Voice actors here are also very good at playing their characters and the sound effects are also good.
