never gets old

Did Thors say "You have no enemies at all" to Thorfinn because I think it's a lot cooler to hear Thorfinn say "I have no enemies" like in the anime

Sasha

Cannon's face when he thought Canute was about to actually atop the waves😧

Asbjørn Kennedy

Fun fact - the line from Canute about stopping the waves is an actual line from the real-life Canute the Great. The context was completely different, but the point remains roughly the same - to say that even though he was the most powerful man in the region at the time, his might still paled compared to that of God. As a Dane, knowing this famous line beforehand made that moment pretty sick ngl, though I totally get why it would confuse the heck out of you or seem kinda random lmao Vinland Saga generally has a lot of historical facts right, especially in terms of how the culture is portrayed (I'm mostly referring to general stuff and not so much what the historical characters said or did). Makoto Yukimura deserves praise not only for his incredible storytelling and art, but also his extensive research into viking culture

Astro Sherlock

The majority of the anime fan base is heavy HEAVY into mind numbing over the top action sequences over anything of substance. I want Vinland Saga to win so bad, it's one of the best show's I've watched, not animes, shows, it is one of the best, but I doubt it will win considering the competition this year and the type of audience it appeals to.

Lmao I see

The camera is at an angle so you cant really tell but its exactly in the middle of us. Must be in the DNA because mckays voice is really quiet too so if we move it closer to jack we might lose mckay. I just need to remind jack for the millionth time to speak louder but he says that most of the time hes just "saying it for himself" whatever the f that means😂

Di

Been meaning to say this for a while but i can barely hear Jack in a lot of the vids. Idk if it cuz of the mics position or because he speaks softly to you guys and not to us.

Lulu

Not sure if anyone else let you guys know this in the comments above yet, but Karlsefni in Old Norse means "promising boy" or "the makings of a man"

Cookie

Beautiful ♥️

Lol I think Einar is good for Thorfinn a vise versa. Having a different perspective against Thorfinn’s now calmer self makes for a good duo

A_Daddy Daichi

These episodes were so amazing but I can’t wait for the next one! Literally my favorite episode of this season I think!

Spencer

Damn, how does Thorfinn look even more badass in the Manga lol.

Cation

Wish I could've unseen this season just to watch it again. Masterpiece Obligatory: https://imgur.com/a/XjDz34X

So sad to see people sleeping on Seinen mangas/anime. Vinland Saga should be Anime of the year without any argument with how it was set up and how closely it followed the manga and just the character development. Thorfinn should be MC of the year.

Cation

It's with Patreon as general because I've had this problem with many other patreons too not only this one.

McKay Carter

Mobin Shah

The full circle moment. Thorfinn finally became his father

celery

i have rlly fast internet streaming tho so i don’t know why mine is always so laggy

lola

This reaction made me sooooo happy!! I just KNEW carter would get teary eyed but I’m so glad you guys loved ep 22. It’s def one of my favorite episodes in any anime. It was like a full circle moment when Thorfinn said “I have no enemies” 😭 such an iconic line , just gives me goosebumps!! But anyways I can’t wait for you guys to finish the season cause a lot of your questions will be answered! 🙈💗

lola

@Poragami there’s actually no way you think any of those anime’s have better story telling, unpredictability and character development than Vinland. There’s no anime this year that even compares to Vinland in those aspects. If Vinland doesn’t win anime of the year, it’s literally because “Anime of the year” is a popularity contest and as we already know, VS doesn’t have nearly as many fans as the rest. Y’all are stuck on comparing this season with the last but S2 as it stands is a masterpiece in its own right.

Canute is saving the vikings by creating heaven on earth for them. In a world ruled by God they will all go to hell.

Mia Malvik

There's a lot of good quality anime out there though! Have you seen Monster? Highly recommend

Mia Malvik

Yeah, those are the things I look for as well and I think Vinland does it perfectly. Another thing which I think is important in anime especially is daring to show the 'boring' parts of a story. I have so much respect for writers who do that, because you just know they care more about writing a good story than satisfying the audience in general with baseless 'hype'. That being said, I love a lot of anime and I don't hold all of them to that standard because I enjoy the fun and careless vibes too

James

It would depend on how you would judge something to be "anime of the year," but things that I usually look for in an anime (or any show/movie for that matter) include complex themes, character development or multi-dimensional characters, "showing and not telling" the story, and well-constructed writing. This is why I don't watch 95% of shows and movies out there, but Vinland Saga has definitely restored my faith in story-writing.

Chrisiyyi

Go back to old player pls, also idk if using the player of patreon can get you into problems with showing the full footage.

Mia Malvik

It's ok, Mia has decided Vinland is better than all of them 🦦

Ben Martineau

Episode 22 is one of my all time favourite episodes of any show, Thorfinn is literally the goat. You do not just withstand 100 punches for no reason, he finally is a true warrior.

Poragami

I highly doubt tbh. Too much competition this year. Oshi no ko, Heavenly Delusion, JJK S2(Shibuya arc is gonna be insane), Mushoku Tensei, Zom:100, SpyxFamily S2, FLCL: Grunge(i doubt), The Eminence in Shadow S2 and Uzumaki by Junji Ito(Masterpiece).

Mia Malvik

Vinland is anime of the year idc

Audreyldo

btw Cannon's expressions are epic, you can read every feeling on his face haha

Audreyldo

when you watch these episodes you understand all the development and the process of season 2 that they put in place, the quiet moments, the redemption of thorfinn to get to this point, what a masterpiece ✨

Luis Everth

I believe the reason they didn't recognize Thors's name was because those were the King's guardsmen and not Jomsvikings (There were some Jomsvikings in the background.) Most of them were resting in their camps after the battle during Thorfinn and Canute's discussion

Coen

Everyone having videoplayer problems, try watching it in Firefox, this for some reason fixed the buffering/lagging problems.

Coen

I had the exact same! No internet or hardware problem BUT i watched the video in Firefox instread of usual chrome and it didn't lag one bit. So everyone having problems, please try that!

vinny cucinello

those episodes are so good

Mysterious Figure

I haven't had ANY issues with any video player you guys have used so far. The people that report problems either have issues with their hardware or internet connection so I dont think you can do much to help that.

Mysterious Figure

This player is perfect. Check your internet or your PC because in any player they've used I havent had ANY issues with any lag whatsoever.

Jack McKee

thorgil is an absolute L i hate that mf

kiiturii

that's actually so sick lmao

brian

king canute talking about stopping the tides is actually found in history, though it was said in a different context / place. love how the mangaka tries to use things from history and put it in his story.

kiiturii

it's unfortunate but something lags for everyone, there were complaints about streamable, then dropbox and there have always been complaints for the embedded ones too, I guess the only solution would be to upload to multiple places but that sounds like a pain in the ass lol

The Patreon video player is fairly resource intensive. Try the following: 1. Enable Hardware Acceleration for your browser 2. Make sure your browser is using your computer's dedicated GPU instead of the integrated graphics 3. (Optional) Try opening through a VPN. For the Gek's earlier posts which were hosted on Streamable which is blocked in my country, the choice of VPN server made a big difference in rate of buffering.

C2-H5-OH

For the funny stuff, I'm glad the rest of the squad is there. For the serious stuff, I'm glad Carter lets absolutely NOTHING distract him. Protect this man at all costs.

nans

there was no lag for me at all? maybe it’s connection issues?

Michael Corleone

Yeah, it's awful, it took me over an hour to watch the (45-ish min) Hunter x Hunter reactions.

boop

man idk if anyone else dealing with this but the new player is just lagging my whole shit lmfao

Abigail Jerry

I love that Carter let’s his emotion come forth. I was red eyed and tears almost all of season 2 man. Such good stuff

Abigail Jerry

Thorfinn is THAT man 🫡🔥🐐

James

Before Olmar's character gets overlooked, we see that his character development has turn him into someone who is able to face fear. While most people will see Olmar's decision to surrender as cowardly, it takes someone with courage to go against the norms especially in a time period when fighting is considered a necessity and an honor. I am glad you guys are having this discussion on whether peace can truly be achievable through non-violent means, or with more fighting. This is a philosophical debate to considered when watching future seasons of Vinland Saga..

Also super cool how the whole waves scene is based off an actual event with the king Canute is in reference to! “When he was at the height of his ascendancy, he ordered his chair to be placed on the sea-shore as the tide was coming in. Then he said to the rising tide, "You are subject to me, as the land on which I am sitting is mine, and no one has resisted my overlordship with impunity. I command you, therefore, not to rise on to my land, nor to presume to wet the clothing or limbs of your master." But the sea came up as usual, and disrespectfully drenched the king's feet and shins. So jumping back, the king cried, "Let all the world know that the power of kings is empty and worthless, and there is no king worthy of the name save Him by whose will heaven, earth and the sea obey eternal laws."”

nans

When thorfinn said “I have no enemies” I almost screamed HE SAID THE LINE!! HE SAID THE LINE

LET BRIG COOK

PantsuParty

Will we get to more Vinland tonight?

Cation

My boy tanked 100 punches and was like: I am a busy man, my crops are waiting for me. This season is nothing but amazing, I feel it had no weak episodes and they all deserve 9+. Episode 22 is peak character full circle. Btw love you guys, really brings better dynamic to hear all your reactions/thoughts about the show. LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

Shiro

Assuming you are the OG McKay (in the video), of course you would know when the video gets uploaded, so not fair! If you are a subscriber like the rest of us with McKay's picture as your DP and his and Carter's name as your username, then well done! (Which one are you kind sir?)

kingkoopa98

Brig has the best analysis

Shiro

I love these moral conundrums in VS, and kudos to you for calling back conversations from season 1. The way I see it - Canute wants to stop random violence by being the king and having the sole monopoly on violence. He says in S1E18, "I will give meaning to your battles, I will tell you when to fight", etc. He wants to unite the Vikings under him so that they follow his command and do not commit raids and violent acts randomly of their own free will. They will only go to war if Canute commands them, and he intends to go to war as a last resort, having given his 'enemies' ample time to reconsider and surrender. He also wants to put a stop to pillaging during war, which he can do only when he is the commander of the armies and Vikings under him. We as the audience know that he wants to requisition the farm to finance the Danish army in England, but Thorfinn and Einar don't. From their perspective, either he is punishing Ketil for Olmar's actions, or he just wants to take over the farm, which is why Einar calls him a thief and asks him to create a farm of his own instead of stealing what is essentially others hard work. Thorfinn really has nothing to leverage against Canute's arguments, because he really does not know the true reason for Canute's actions. And Canute does not want to back down, for the sake of his kingdom depends on acquiring this productive asset (farm), for which he even came himself to requisition the farm. Seeing it play out in the next two episodes will be interesting.

Nonos

Well I thought the episode from what I’ve seen everyone talks about highly is this one due to the iconic “I have no enemies scene” so it was like the goated episode. But next episode also is another great and the more beautiful episode. Both episodes used to be 9.8 which they need to get back to lol

Poragami

1 MORE UPLOAD LETS GOOO

Bibi

omg Brigs I loved when you connected Canute's action in this episode to what he said in season 1 "I shall give meaning to your battles.To your life and death. That's what the duty of a king is." it basically comes down to making sacrifices(through war/death) to build peace which is very ironic imo I also LOVE the moral debates that occur in masterful shows like aot, vinland saga and death note!

James

Episode 22 is rated as a 9.7 on IMDb, but the episode everyone is talking about is episode 23 which is also a 9.7. I have seen a handful of other reaction channels calling Vinland Saga the "anime of the year" after seeing episode 23.
