Vinland Saga Season 2

After his father's death and the destruction of his village at the hands of English raiders, Einar wishes for a peaceful life with his family on their newly rebuilt farms. However, fate has other plans: his village is invaded once again. Einar watches helplessly as the marauding Danes burn his lands and slaughter his family. The invaders capture Einar and take him back to Denmark as a slave.

Einar clings to his mother's final words to survive. He is purchased by Ketil, a kind slave owner and landlord who promises that Einar can regain his freedom in return for working in the fields. Soon, Einar encounters his new partner in farm cultivation—Thorfinn, a dejected and melancholic slave. As Einar and Thorfinn work together toward their freedom, they are haunted by both sins of the past and the ploys of the present. Yet they carry on, grasping for a glimmer of hope, redemption, and peace in a world that is nothing but unjust and unforgiving.

I’m writing this just after finishing the last episode a few seconds ago.

How do I even explain this... Hmm. If you want to know what a "perfect ending" looks like, you should definitely watch this.
The way it brings everything full circle and answers questions from Episode 1, Season 1 — it’s just perfect.
It gives a feeling of fulfilment.

Not gonna lie, at some point during the show I thought, “It’s all nice and warm now, but it lacks excitement somehow.”
But this is a show you need to watch peacefully, to truly grasp its meaning. Otherwise, you might miss the depth in each episode.

I’ve never had such ... a deep experience. Totally recommended.

Mixed Feelings

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.

Not Recommended

I gave this a 4 because of the presentation. Music is beautiful, directing and voice acting are very well done. The story and the dialogue tho, utter trash unfortunately. It is way too obnoxious and childish. We are watching these shows with ENG sub so maybe we are losing some context lost in translation but that's ultimately what I can comment on. It's already way too common for shonen anime dialogue to be nonsensical crap (my fav. show is Code Geass btw, it's not like I am a hater) but there should be something else to make the viewers suffer through that crap. Vinland S2 ... didn't have that. The message it is trying to convey is trash but this is further amplified thanks to the fact that the delivery (dialogue) is also trash. Stupid chain of events we call "the story" does not help either.
