Man, what a season this has been. I wasn't really a big fan of season 1, but this season absolutely blew me away. Such a sappy episode. I'm glad Thorfinn is finally headed to Vinland with his new brother.
I'm still on s1. I'm only at ep 10 or so. It started to lose my attention at first but it's picking up. The animation is amazing ofc. I'm watching the dub on this one just cause it's actually pretty damn good, and sometimes I don't feel like reading.
Askeladd really steals the show in the later third of the first season. I've never personally watched the dub but his performance is wonderful in the sub (he's voiced by the VA for Uchiha Madara, who plays his role perfectly imo)
The tone shift from S1 to S2 was a bit jarring for me too but as S2 goes on it really starts to get interesting so hold out it's def worth it to stick with it.
Fantastic episode and same with the one before it I actually didn't think Canute would withdraw his forces like he did and I'm really loving Thorfins character development this season.
