I was watching the first season because it was broadcast on NHK.
I haven’t seen the second season yet.

I reminisce about how we had such great characters when Askeladd and Thorkell were causing a ruckus.

It’s like Kingdom, but with too many broken characters, the protagonist ends up being bland!

I wasn’t expecting much from the peasant edition, but it was actually better than the first season.

The anime version is made with great care, isn’t it?
It was denser than the original.

When I was told “We’re going to crush Wales!”
∑(ﾟДﾟ；)
That’s a funny face.

The serfdom section is interesting when viewed all together.

Even though this guy probably hardly lived there, he loves my mom’s hometown too much…

I want to see the continuation of the anime soon.
I’m looking forward to seeing what it will be like with the voice-activated Shiguy.

The descendant of King Arthur has come…

Is the anime up to the serf arc?

From the beginning, they were saying something about who Torz’s ancestors were.

I hate Danes who are inferior to pigs.
Saxon hatred
I hate you.

Vinland Saga was honestly at its peak during the Peasant Arc.

The original anime was interesting in that it depicted Thors surviving and living on after his father died.

It’s the main character’s master!

I think the depiction of a raped woman’s mental state deteriorating and her child adapting to living in the area is unparalleled.
I cannot think of any other creative works written after senka besides this.

The voice is just perfect…

I haven’t been able to read Afternoon lately, how about you? Do you think you can make Vinland?
I’m sure I’ll be able to become friends with the local residents and accomplish things that I couldn’t achieve in the serf chapter.
Thorfinn has gained a dependable partner.

I’ve been doing a lot of really bad things, but watching them, I’ve somehow developed a fondness for the members of Askeladd’s band.

Don’t post my friend’s stuff on such a bulletin board.

Although it was Asherad who beheaded him, Knut is slowly being attached to King Sven.

The serfdom chapter is good because I can see it all at once after it’s over, but watching it in real-time is tough!
Well… Afternoon readers are well-trained by works like Histories, Ōburi, and The Infinite Resident, so it’s fine…

Military action is scarier than looting, right?
Not even allowed to be a slave.

Slowly, King Sven is a fantasy born from Knut’s guilt…

I feel like the girl from the ring.

That’s good, isn’t it, Askeladd?
Essentially the second father.

The scene where the wealthy farmer meets with King Knut thinking he can negotiate, only to be threatened and submit, is interesting.

I dislike all of them, but they are all characters that have charm.

The times are way too shitty.

Why does the Slow King appear at the corner of the room?

I realized that the surprised old man image that sometimes appears in the final episode of the first season of the anime was actually Askeladd!
I didn’t notice at all because the atmosphere was so different from usual.

But somehow, this work is kind, so it’s filled with compassion like a development where Einarl’s sister is not raped and killed.

It feels like Season 1 and Season 2 are different anime altogether; the genres are different… or rather, I don’t think they should be judged against each other.
In the final episode of the second season, it forcibly became Vinland Saga.

I started reading from around Hildo’s part, so I was binge-watching it, and I couldn’t understand why there were so many opinions saying the serf arc was lackluster.
I thought it would be different if I were following the series.

Is the surviving brother of the Askeladd Brigade doing well?

I want the anime to continue until they reach Vinland.
I really want to see an anime about Shiguya and Hato-chan.

It’s like, even though it’s something that’s currently happening or is finished, readers can already see a future like this…
The characters in the story cannot leave their land or abandon their current situation, so that situation drags on for a long time…

It’s the fate of a man who could only survive through fighting…

I thought it was amazing how the idea that humans become strong when they gather in groups, stemming from history, was incorporated into a manga about farming and settling down.

It’s impossible for someone who only knows fighting and plundering to farm, get a wife, have children, and die in bed.

I love the relaxed farming story from another world.

If my older brother were more reliable, things might have turned out differently…

Naoya Uchida’s voice is cool.

Isn’t it a lie that there was even a hometown to return to after fleeing from war?
Even my brother, who has lost his mind, is being left behind.

Did you go to another world?
Aren’t they endlessly fighting each other in Valhalla after they die?

If you say “Native Indian,” wouldn’t that mean the indigenous people of India?

The author’s depiction of war is most interesting when they are dealing with various struggles.

The more I struggle to expand the fields, the more enemies increase, and I become fearful of losing them—a dilemma.

My favorite part is when the prince awakens in Season 1.

It was nice to see the wife comforting her broken husband, even though it’s an original anime.
Despite being such a fierce old hag… well, if she was infatuated with a young beautiful slave, it would be frustrating.

I understand that Ketil is weak-hearted, but didn’t everyone say too many harsh things about him…? That’s what I thought back then during the serf saga.

I’m truly astonished by Thorfinn-kun’s belief that just not bringing swords will prevent war.

I feel upset when I see people speak badly of Ketil’s husband…
But it’s also understandable to be spoken ill of, so it’s the era that makes it difficult to say anything.

If my anxious heart was calmed by a beautiful woman and then she escapes, it’s only natural that I wouldn’t be able to trust anything anymore…

What does it really mean to believe?

It’s quite interesting that the main characters’ views on love in this work are completely different from Western religious perspectives.

It’s amusing to see a scene where soldiers thrown into battle without military training act like mere scarecrows, only charging forward with loud roars.
I keep reading it over and over.

My favorite sex slave runs away, and the country’s army comes to pillage, which is more than enough to drive anyone insane.

Even the Yorm Warrior Squad mobs are on a completely different level.
The foxes of thugs who could hold their own in that era are completely no match for them.

What on earth is this snake?

It would be the strongest to live without a family after becoming strong like Thorfinn or Thor’s.

How can we live peacefully in this era?
Should I move to Turkel’s territory?

It’s frightening that Thorgill can remain calm and make rational decisions in that situation.

In the end, is Thor’s the strongest?

Father, Rayfu-san, the three dads in the thread image.

The fox is trash, but it’s nice that they do their job as a mercenary and die properly.

Torgill is a hybrid of a harsh mother and a father known as Iron Fist… It’s obvious that he is strong.

After all, professional soldiers can only do manual labor.
Just let them do civil engineering work or farm work…

To be honest, the story has already ended with the peasant saga.
Since then, it’s just a matter of continuously bridging the gap between the ideals we set and reality.

I haven’t seen the second season, but how is it?

That Viking was also pretty trash; it’s better to cut it off like that.

The slow life farmer edition seems like growing wheat is easier than rice farming… I was looking at it in a strange way.

I didn’t even have the courage to be silently mocked.

I will run away.

Ketil’s wife being close at the end in the original addition was very good.

I like that Thorgil respects his brother’s opinion and leaves.

My timid and unreliable younger brother showed his manliness for the first time.

I want to hear it in Akio Otsuka’s voice…

I heard that in the original work, Ketil’s husband had even less redemption, and it made me feel scared of this era…

Huh!? Is there some salvation in the anime!?
I thought Ketil was way too cute… so I might take a little look…

If it were a peaceful era, it could have just ended with a fairly nice master for the slaves…

He’s just an ordinary kind-hearted uncle who is timid and got his heart broken…

It’s so sad that Arneiz seems to be constantly unaccustomed to getting angry, whether at the time of a beating or going into battle.

I think Uchida Naoya was perfect for Ashlad’s complexity.

If I had to say whose ending I like, Bjorn is quite high on the list.

The snake was explicitly stated to be from Byzantium in the anime, right?

Thorfinn has always been a bystander to each theme.
It feels like the main character I use every time gets eliminated.

I wanted Aru to die regretting how much they looked down on Ketiru.
In the end, you’re doing the same thing too.

I like that my late grandfather was friends with the snake.

“Heaven is a lie! After death, there’s nothing! Don’t be deceived, everyone… I liked the way that nameless mob died while saying that.”
The world has become one where supernatural phenomena really exist, adding a somewhat subtle nuance.

It’s nice to see that Askeladd is getting even more complicated in his response to Bjorn.
The Danes don’t even have the mental strength to say that everyone hates them; the moment they escape a fatal injury, they genuinely panic.

I like how after the serious vow with Thorz, it ends with “Thank Thorz, you idiots” without actually killing the children but just beating them up.

It’s sad that he’s fallen into a place that feels like Bjorn hell.
But for the person themselves, is it the place they wished for?

The relationship between Thorfinn and Askeladd feels like a genuine mix of love and hatred, something you don’t often see.

Well, considering the actions, there’s nowhere else but hell.

Does this work have supernatural phenomena!?
Well, there have always been people with powers like supernatural phenomena…

It’s like hell, or perhaps it’s an illusion shown by Thorfinn’s sense of guilt.

I suddenly found myself in a strange world predicting the future…

I felt too sorry for Arneiz to have the emotional capacity to sympathize with Ketil’s husband.

Valhalla (Hell) is a metaphor that seems like the afterlife, but it’s actually reality…

What was that monk from Season 1?

I feel like there were many hiatuses during the current serialization period, and also during the peasant arc, making the story development slower than I expected.

Thorfinn says he’s running away, but…
For those who are bedridden due to illness and for the elderly who have become unable to stand.
“The enemy is coming! Let’s run away! Come on, get up quickly!!”
I wonder if that’s what they mean to say.

You are from the Torkell army, right?
I’m a warrior of the Oreyo.

An anime that is definitely about rape but does not have any rape scenes.

The fact that the girl is mostly depicted being carried while flailing her legs shows the author’s kindness.

I’m feeling the effects of aging, but I’m incredibly strong…
Sharp-minded… has leadership skills… has high ideals…
“I’m just a bald guy who realized I’m not fit to be a king because I’m too high up.”

Didn’t Kettil-san have a follow-up in the Vinland arc?
I realized that person’s agricultural management was amazing, and that our farming techniques are somehow thanks to Ketil-san.

Those who rape women should suffer and die.

This work is really strong…

The way he carries himself after deciding on his place of death is so perfect that even Thorkell becomes sulky.

It’s great that you seem to have lived a full life on the Thorkel bed.
I don’t think it’s good.

It’s not an eye.
It is discrimination.

In this era, it is important for women, who are basically raped and give birth to children, not to be abducted by violent partners.

I like the idea of rural plundering as a snack-like experience, it sounds fun.
In the farm chapter, I go, “Waaah, how can you do such a thing—it’s not something a human would do!”

Even if you become a warrior, you may suddenly die on the battlefield, and even if you are a farmer, you may lose everything one day due to plunder.
What should I do…

Become a strong farmer.

Cutting Torfin’s swelled face is just…

I think people say I’m living in a dream world, but after some thought, I realized that Thorfinn is actually saying the most realistic things.

I think it’s amazing how women managed to survive in the Warring States period.

Speaking of which, Ashlad wearing that Roman-like armor at the beginning was a foreshadowing, wasn’t it?
But is it really okay for the self-proclaimed English royalty to wear Roman attire?

Aren’t the Vikings afraid of their families being attacked?

Isn’t Knut a historical figure who unified the Danes?
But dying young just means going back to where you started, right?

Well, religion is effective in spreading moral values, isn’t it?

I wonder how the Vikings manage their savings.
Are you properly storing it at the base?

I used to prefer paperback books, but what is this “Asheladd, dies” band?
