Bojack horseman is an amazing show
I love this
Monster next please with the best Antagonist and one of the best and underrated protagonist
I love the difference between Snake coming to the crowd now and back when Thorfinn was going to be cut by Fox. Snake saved Thorfinn back then but now Thorfinn is doing the saving. Thorfinn went from not having a purpose in life to repaying his gratitude for the people of the farm by putting his life on the line. An absolutely beautiful moment in this episode and I'm so proud of Thorfinn :)
Kaguya Sama is my recommendation for the future. :)
If your looking for short anime shows watch 1. Your lie in April 2. Cyberpunk edgerunners 3. Steins gate or 4. Ranking of kings If your looking for a longer anime show watch 1. Monster.
haikyuu or 86 for the next anime PLEASE
Next Anime need to be Ranking of Kings, the story is beautiful and heartwarming
The last few episodes tainted it for me tbh, 13 episodes in I was almost ready to say it was a top 10 anime ever
This episode was great, but was also just one step in a long journey. Thorfinn tries to resolve conflicts without violence in a brutal and cold-blooded world. Getting involved in a bet worked this time, but does he want to go for such a game every time now? How will he react when he encounters a person who simply wants to kill him? How does he react when a person attacks his friends or family? Vinland Saga takes a different path than many other stories that revolve around violence and fighting, but even here we see our character struggle with obstacles that he must overcome and he must grow to deal with.
yeah i need to see more of Thorfinn's resolve/path before calling him "the best mc of all time" like others already are. personally I dont agree with his stance as its not the most efficient way of living. Better than Vikings but definitely has drawbacks. Also, it doesnt help that he is also ridiculously OP which makes him feel like a Gary Stu because lets be honest, if Omar tried what he did with those Vikings, he was dead in that first punch. So his "I got no enemies" speech really only works out if you're OP af and the plot drives you to those right circumstances. Dont get me wrong, I love his story and character development from a literature/story standpoint. I just meant if you take away the plot armor, his ideals don't work. But as you said, I want to see more from him. I want to see how he will choose his actions under those conditions you listed out above. And then we shall see where he goes.
visually i think this is the most cinematic vinland has looked. the sunset’s colors reflecting off the characters and serving as a striking backdrop, and that shot of spears pointed at the sun to represent canute’s “rebellion against god”. stunning direction and atmosphere fitting for the climax of this arc
Also girls, be prepared for Kobayashi cinema in next week. He has worked on 4 episodes in this season, including the next one. EP 4- awakening , 9-oath, 17- road to home and next episode. He also worked in 4 episodes of season 1. EP 6- the one in which grandma helps thorfinn EP-14 Light of the day(the one in which askeladd murders the whole village) EP 18- out of the cradle (Canute's epiphany episode) EP 22- askeladd's backstory. Needless to say that next ep is also going to be a visual masterpiece. These animators are unsung heroes that are subsumed within name of "mappa". Without efforts, dedication, vision and love of these people we would not have been able to witness such marvellous adaptation.
Thorfinn chasing ideals with an idealistic approach. Canute chasing ideals with a realistic approach. Jokes on them, ideals are ideals because they are unattainable.
But do vikings exist today? One can also argue that thorfinns of the world have made difference in past 1400 years. Slowly, steadily across generation and span of centuries. An ideal was achieved.
Canute commanding to stop the waves has actually happened in history. The scene is based on a famous Story of King Canute of England Commanding the waves - [W]hen at the summit of his power, he ordered a seat to be placed for him on the sea-shore when the tide was coming in. Then, before a large group of his flattering courtiers, he spoke to the rising sea, saying, "Thou, too, art subject to my command, for the land on which I am seated is mine, and no one has ever resisted my commands with impunity. I command you, then, o waters, not to flow over my land, nor presume to wet the feet and the robe of your lord." The tide, however, continued to rise as usual, dashing over his feet and legs without respect to his royal person. Then Canute leaped backwards, saying: "Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws." However Yukimura switches it here. It amazes me how much thought he has given on the subject while writing this story. In reality canute meant to demonstrate it to his subject that his power is no match for the power of God. Over here Canute knows very well that he is powerless, yet he is uniting strength of vikings to rebel against God.
next anime, Monster, in my opinion a must watch anime, it's one of the few anime I recommended to my parents, they loved it, of course...
Bro in this episode Einar spits facts
okay, since you always forget to check the lyrics let me copy paste the lyrics from the intro because they're perfect for this show 'Defining lines between the victims And what will soon become the prey I've giving up on counting blessings The Gods can judge me when I'm dead 'Cause I can not take this anymore I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox Lost in paradox The feeling of hatred burns my soul I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox Lost in paradox I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head 'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead Some will call it giving up I just call it getting lost in my own revenge' anyway, i love all intros but i think this one if my favourite of the 4 and also fron the endings.
"Some will call it giving up, I just call it getting lost in my own revenge" that's my favorite part
It’s time we gave them a break from all the heartaches 😭 I want to see them cry with joy rather than sadness! That's why I think Haikyuu would be a perfect next anime to react to! Can’t wait to hear them say "my boy" every episode 😂
Canute trying so save the Vikings brought me back to Canute embracing Bjorn. Asking God how can Bjorn find paradise with the trials hes been given and he died trying to befriend a man who hated him for being a Viking. With Askellad also hating himself for becoming a Viking.
The "I have no enemies" line is probably going to be the talk of the episode and for good reason, but I gotta say "I can't hit someone when I'm trying to negotiate for peace" is such a great response to Wulf's question, it's so honest and simple yet Wulf couldn't have seen this answer coming (maybe because he's just lost an eye lol) Anyone else couldn't stop getting chills throughout the entire episode? I felt like I was gonna start levitating or something
@space1999 honestly that didn't even occurred to me, maybe because I was so immersed in the episode, but that would have been cool
i don't know what's funnier, lola's obsession with ari and that girl that appeared for like 10 seconds in ep 2 or 3 or the fact that we're about to finish season 2 and they still call sverkel 'old man ketil' as if ketil wasn't the son's first name 😂
that white background will always hit hard ngl
Let’s goo ! I’m hyped only 2 more episodes left, rip. I’m ready for the upcoming poll and the war in the comments.
Brb just grabbing a tall glass of water because just watching this reaction will probably get me dehydrated
LETS GOOO
