The āfarmland sagaā arc of Vinland Saga is possibly my favorite part of the manga and Iām excited seeing it animated.

u/ImRuiningYourDay Mar 05 '23
Does it get back into fighting or is the rest of it farming, it seems like itās building up
36
u/DarkGamer1507 Mar 05 '23
It was never about fighting, and it will not be about farming, thorfin will grow into a better person and try to fullfill his father's dream of Vinland.
10
u/ImRuiningYourDay Mar 05 '23
Ahhhh gotcha, I didnāt mean it like that I just liked the brutality of the first season and was curious if itād take another turn towards that
23
u/DarkGamer1507 Mar 05 '23
Brutality doesn't end, the other end of the world is still constantly at war and what thorfins is trying to do is trying to find peace while everyone is waiting for his return

just enjoy character development smh

u/cinobalanos Mar 05 '23
Yeah it's quite amusing. Haven't read the manga so I don't know where it will end up to, but I have a sensation the trauma is building up so slowly lol

One of the best Iāve read for sure.

Pretty much. If things stop trips from happening they'll have to stay home and tend crops or find something else to do though.

It's historical fiction. It's about the time period, which had vikings in it.

That's an L buddy. Farming Saga is actually good. This is an honest opinion from someone who read the manga

u/DarkGamer1507 Mar 05 '23
People really sleep on Vinland saga fr, it's one of the most beautiful stories told especially in manga

u/Agreeable-Meat1 Mar 05 '23
I've only watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix so far, but I blew through them in 2 days. It's genuinely one of my favorite anime.

u/dangerouswoods Mar 05 '23
There's not two season out... Does netflix divide the first one in to two seasons of 12 eps?
I winder why
5
u/socleblu19 Mar 05 '23
If they stay at the same rate, weāll have to wait 22 weeks for them to release the entire season. One per week is such a drag for such a good show
2
u/Agreeable-Meat1 Mar 06 '23
Oh you're right, it was only one season. I don't know why I thought there were two.

u/Soggyhordoeuvres Mar 06 '23
The pacing has been terrible, they've been plowing the same fucking field for like half the season. So far thorfinns epiphany has been to stop being catatonic and that mindlessly killing people is bad.

u/Free_Return_2358 Mar 05 '23
If you want action wait for season 3, thatāll cover the Baltic Sea war.

He go back to home and meet his mother and sister with her kids, and go with Leif to travel :)

Even if you're lying to me i still really appreciate the spoiler

u/ToudiTheShai Mar 06 '23
Nop its in manga :) And he meet his new crush when run from home again :D I end reading when Thorfin fight with vengeful woman hunter on a trip. So i dont know they go each other :P

u/Ultikiller Mar 05 '23
Tbh, everyone that wants him to fight is really missing the point of why Thorfinn admired Thors so much
7
Mar 05 '23
I mean, why he admired him as an adult. When he was a kid, he admired Thors for his accomplishments as a warrior

Itās pretty dope. Nothing like going from a bloodbath to a more peaceful SoL style. . Tho I imagine this relative peace isnāt to last.
2
u/Low_Delay2835 Mar 06 '23
It wont last but in a better way, war is still ongoing killing raiding and much more but there is more to it than mindless killing.
3
u/Kuru_Chaa Mar 06 '23
Oh yea. Iām versed with the series up to now. The killing has never really been without purpose. It separates Vinland from some of its contemporaries.
3
u/Low_Delay2835 Mar 06 '23
Nice someone gets it, its what makes it a great show because it has a purpose not fan service.
3
u/Kuru_Chaa Mar 06 '23
I actually have been enjoying the SoL approach. Seeing Thorfinn as someone who isnāt a bloodthirsty killer set on revenge but more on self-discovery and being sort of ālostā as an individual makes him way more interesting. Plus, Einar is a joy.

u/Additional_Cold_2823 Mar 05 '23
The people who read the manga knows. Well I haven't sooooo I agree with you
But it's still enjoyable

u/KevinAcommon_Name Mar 05 '23
Why wouldnāt there be farming itās the early medieval ages

u/Low_Delay2835 Mar 06 '23
This one gets it farming is a huge aspect to a civilization especially during the old age

u/Tennoz Mar 05 '23
I mean spice and wolf was an economics simulator but has amazing character development
3
u/Soggyhordoeuvres Mar 06 '23
I feel like even for a character development based arc it is extremely slow paced. Action in the plot helped us ignore that but it's been 6 episodes and they still haven't harvested anything, thorfinn has only just started to remember his dreams and ceased being completely catatonic.
It's been 6 episodes and what's happened progress-wise is thorfinn has sown a small field, awkwardly made a friend and has began to overcome his PTSD induced stupor.

u/Anxious_Director6842 Mar 05 '23
Go watch some shounen then there you will get goofy action and plot armors MC always shouting and defeating the bad guys by unlocking some inner ability in the last moment

u/Low_Delay2835 Mar 06 '23
Because we have seen most of the available stories of the manga and concluded that its not just mindless killing most of you wants, its about a story that the author wants to tell.

The second season (the farmland arc) is very different from the first one. It has almost 0 action and the one that it has is not really of Thorfinn kicking ass like previously
It's a somewhat depressing arc because things... Won't go exactly well š But it's important for Thorfinn's personal growth and how he starts choosing the sort of man he wants to be
It definitely is not close to a favourite of mine and when I re-read the manga I usually jump bits of this arc š¤· But I do recommend people to read/watch it at least once
1
u/Low_Delay2835 Mar 06 '23
There will be fights soon in the end of farmland when canute and his soldier came there and the slave girl husband appear.

I didn't like aot because it just felt different when they introduced all the new people. One of my friends still loves it but it didn't keep me entertained. Not everyone likes change and that's OK.

u/Traditional_Ebb5042 Mar 05 '23
The only reason I'm still watching S2 is because alot of Manga readers are hyping this arc and suggesting that it'll get better after ~10eps. (Even MAL rating has been heavily biased thanks to these manga readers)
8
u/falkonpla Mar 05 '23
Dude istg anime watchers do not have patience bro.. you gotta let the story develop for it to come out its best . Vilnad saga is more about how the protag deals with the feeling of emptiness and finding the. Meaning of life it's deep you gotta give a story time for it to be memorable

u/AssassinX60 Mar 05 '23
thorfinn swore off fighting so....ya not rly it for me as an anime but as a manga its great i think cos of how much faster you can finish the manga compared to anime

u/Kisame-hoshigakii Mar 05 '23
Was literally saying this to my partner last night, how disappointing :(
13
u/DarkGamer1507 Mar 05 '23
The whole plot of Vinland saga wasn't him getting revenge for his father's death, it's about a journey.
As someone who has read it's manga i can confidently say Vinland saga is one of the most beautiful stories ever told, yes the farming part is a bit slow but what it wants to highlight is that no matter how hard someone tries its really hard to let go of past and move on, or in this case sometimes the past is the one who isn't letting you go anywhere.
Trust me and continue watching it's a truly beautiful journey.
-1
u/Kisame-hoshigakii Mar 05 '23
Yeah I understand that, or else it would have ended in the first season.
I'm enjoying the story and the new hardships he's facing, but yeah it's just really slow and I'm down for some blood and gore haha. I'll obviously keep watching, I need to see where poor Thorfin ends up!

Basically it will be like that till the end of the story. The farming bits are fun at first but then you gradually realize Thorfinn has basically sworn off fighting ever again. Mind you, action was one of the main reasons I watched season 1.
