Review of Vinland Saga Season 2

(Short and simple) This is what seperates the men from the boys. No more to the pointless cycle of violence and bloodshed, but instead a realization and maturing as Thorfinn finally learns what it means to be a true warrior. As his father said, no one has enemies nor does a great warrior need a sword. Pros of this season: - Character development: Thorfinn and those around him mature as a person, while others die in vain protecting their pointless honor as a Northman. Every single character explores themselves to try to find what it means to be themselves. Some need to know why they mustcontinue to live in vain, some, about what it means guiding others, while others learns courage in surrender. This vast and complex development of the cast is what makes this show truly special.
- Story: Yet again Vinland saga creates a masterpiece of a story. While yes, it may be nothing like season one, season two is unique in its own way respectively. It doesn't need violence to create a storyline, because the characters don't need to do that anymore. It moves on develops with the characters of the story (as any good story should). This season is about reflection on sin, and how to forgive.
Cons of this season:
- Animation: MAPPA had some very lazy animations that were clearly just a still image being slid across the board. While I wouldn't say it was slide show level, it was coming close. Overall they did a good job, but the quality was inconstant which ruined key scenes.
- Slow story: Some points of the show are deliberately slow, but sometimes having something stretched out isn't exactly exciting to watch, especially on a weekly basis

But overall a banger show, would recommend.
