I’m sure it’s because I watched it first, but I heavily prefer the Netflix dub over the Sentai dub for Vinland.

I don’t think the Sentai dub is bad, I just really like the Netflix one, especially Thorfinn and Thor’s voice.

Maybe the florida dub is continuing. Most people hated it but I liked it

It was confirmed that Fuji tv was working on a dub for it over a year ago I’m pretty sure.

>It would be weird if a shadow announcement happened here of all places.

Not at all. That's exactly how the Miami dub of the show's first season came about. We know TV Tokyo got financing for episodes 50-115 a while back.

HiDive had one? I thought it was just Crunchy and Netflix. So there's 3 different Vinland Saga dubs? 

Thank goodness for that. It does the story more justice. Most of the people ik who see the Netflix dub have no idea what the political situation in the story was. The sentai dub gives the English characters accents which helps a lot.

He's really not doing a great job of denying being a god considering the instant decapitation of multiple chimeras spread all across the city.

I like how he kept getting annoyed whenever Guitane would call him a god and wouldn't listen.

Lloyd's face was understandable. This is the second episode where we've had to sit through Guitane's sad backstory for a good chunk of it with it being mostly a rehash of what we've already heard. Its a bit annoying we got yet another cliffhanger after last episodes for this fight above the clouds.

> Feels like after learning Jade's spell, Lloyd just became exponentially stronger? I remember him still struggling against the Jade demon, meanwhile in this episode he's just toying with Guitane.

I don't think so, conditions against Guisarme were just more difficult, wasn't really about his power.

Lloyd wanted to learn Shadow Wolf and was not aware how much a Demon is immune to magic (and could not use Divine Magic). It was a counter match-up with an additional condition for complete victory.

Once he got serious Lloyd was quick to defeat Guisarme, Jade's Demon.

>Feels like after learning Jade's spell, Lloyd just became exponentially stronger? I remember him still struggling against the Jade demon, meanwhile in this episode he's just toying with Guitane.

Jade's power is very overpowered to where the Demon Lord wanted it, and the Demon Lord was incredibly OP. I'm glad the power didn't get nerfed

The reason he struggled with Guisarme was only because of Shadow Wolf. Once Guisarme's ability to dodge infinitely was taken away and he saw just how much mana Lloyd had, he essentially gave up. He struggled to cast one of his own version of the void spell even after taking in all the mana in the area, Lloyd was able to cast them for fun and not feel any fatigue from it whatsoever. There's probably nothing in the world as strong as Lloyd anymore (Guisarme wasn't, he just stole an ability off Jade to put up as much of a fight as he did)

Is the manga worth it ? I really like animated stuff I fear I might spoil the story for myself if they decided to make a season 3

22 & 23 were the best episodes in the entire season for me

Who?

Yh i 100% agree especially regards to askeladd however I took one scroll online and people were calling this arc farmland saga and saying s1 was better due to it having cool fights and thorfinn just murdering people with no remorse. And most of them just use s1 to diminish this season

I liked the first third of season 2 much more than season 1. Then i felt it dragged on for a bit, but then had a great recovery in the last third.

I think my biggest critique is that it felt like Thorfinn was completely missing the point regarding becoming a True Warrior. His last memory of his father, who everyone regarded as a True Warrior, is him fighting but not killing in order to protect. & yet somehow after seeing his dad in his dreams & deciding to set himself back on the goal to become a true warrior; he goes full pacifist mode. I felt like it was out of character.

I would say that Askeladd is the main character in S1. It is the prologue after all for thorfinns story. The plot is driven by Askeladd and he has the focus on his character ark.

Also season 1 gets much better after a re-watch.

I like Canute and Thorkell, and I thought we might see them again, but I don't dislike that we didn't. It was one possible angle, and I don't feel like the story needed to take it. Canute will continue to perpetuate violence in hopes of achieving something worth those sacrifices, and Thorkell will continue to feel unfulfilled but never understand what he is missing. I don't think there was much the story needed to say with them at this point that would not just be reiterating on these points, so I don't feel like bringing them back was a necessity.

That being said, no I don't think it's perfect. I think too much time went into Bug Eyes and Niska, and I think more could have been done to make that relationship feel less weird. I like what it is saying about cultural difference and shared humanity, but the discomfort unfortunately overshadows it.

I also think, while I like that the last chapter is a more positive reflection on the good things, I think it unfortunately makes it seem like the loss of Einar did not have as much of an impact on Thorfinn. There was about a day between when he died and when they had his burial, and then what seems to be at least one more day before they left. There was some time to process, but compared to other major deaths in Thorfinn's life it feels like he recovers quite quickly.

I'm not sure what could have been done to keep the benefits of the structure it took that I described, while letting Thorfinn feel more impacted. I don't want him to be enraged or depressed enough to drop his core character traits in defeat, him sticking to himself no matter what is important characterization, but I would want to really feel that Einar dying will stick with him forever.

It helps a bit for me to think of 219 and 220 as two halves of a single conclusion, rather than 220 alone being the conclusion. 219 was all about Einar's sacrifice and coming to understand / appreciate him in full, while reflecting on other mistakes too, so 220 really didn't need to double down on it.

That is one of my biggest criticism of the story. even if historically she didn't do anything significant... I really wanted something from her other than being Thorfinn's house wife..... she had so much more to her character in the beginning of her introduction.

because sadly all of her character was reduced to her being thorfinn's house wife ... she had more to her character in the beginning of her introduction and by the end she barely was a character other than giving birth to Thorfinn's son.

Many of the things by op couldnhave happened in Miklagard

Why no need? Just because the message was well transmitted doesnt mean encounters couldn't have bettered the story, shown more development, or would have been nice

The gist of the story was kept intact and the message was transmitted sure. But it would have just been fun and nostalgic to have some encounters we never saw again. Even if we have nothing I wished to see a small cameo from Askeladd, Thors, Sverkel etc. Everybody who showed Thorfinn the way in dark times.
