Review of Vinland Saga Season 2

Every "not recommended" review I've read so far completely misses the point of season 2 of Vinland Saga, and even the show as a whole. Season 1 explores Thorfinn's revenge after his father is killed by Askeladd. I remember hearing people complain about how Thorfinn was a terrible character because "he had no character development". Season 2 explores Thorfinn's character growth as he comes to realise that his views on violence and war in his youth were wrong. This is done exceptionally well by placing the story on a farm, where Thorfinn realises the value of life through growing crops. If you ask me, that's agenius way of showing the importance of life and how much effort it takes to raise a living thing. Yes it is slower paced than season one. But the story was never meant to be about Thorfinn being a mindlessly violent warrior with no foresight. This is why Vinland Saga as a manga is compared to greats such as Berserk or Vagabond.
I fully believe you have to be of a certain age or maturity to understand the second season on Vinland Saga. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews about how season two has no action, is a "slice of life", or is boring. While it may have little action, or be slow enough to be considered a slice of life, the whole point of the show was for Thorfinn to realise that "you have no enemies". This is a central motif from season one, so for anyone thinking that season two is a completely different show altogether; not really. Vinland Saga is a show about Thorfinn realising the mindless violence of the Vikings with no attention to what war does to a person. Hence Canute says to Thorfinn in episode 23, "even the Vikings are capable of producing someone like you".
Don't bother reading the negative reviews, they're all spewing the same bullcrap. This show is a masterpiece.
