when i watched s1and then immediately started read the manga because i loved it i never imagined thorfinn would become probably my favourite character in all media. i started recommending it later because i actually started this show because someone here recommended it to me, but my point is that as much as i loved season 1 it's nothing compared to the love i have for the rest of the manga, so i started recommending it immediately specially for this moment. i knew you would adore and be as obsessed as me with thorfinn's character arc. the only episode rated higher on imdb is s1 finale. i would say this is probably my favourite episode of the anime, along s1 finale, but not my favourite from the manga. but it's still up there. theres something so beautiful about someone leaving a life of violence and wanting to be reborn and atone for what they did. kinda similar to the show barry in that regard, thought the shows couldn't be more different 😂 and yes, some people have already said it but it's really funny how complete opposites thorfinn and eren's characters and stories are. while i've always said i'm not the biggest eren fan i've always admited that he's an amazing character that's extremely well written. both thorfinn and eren are two of the best written characters from the animes i've seen.

will you be reacting to the second season of shadow and bone?

This! I hope they share their reactions with us. Although I'd understand wanting to watch it on their own time.

This is the point in the manga where there's a huge shift in tone. There's some 4th wall breaking with Thors saying how everything up to this point was meaningless and nothing was learned, then Thorfinn complains that it's not even funny, then when he wakes up he swears to become reborn which is another way to say "rewritten". Based on the author's own words from interviews, this is where he originally intended the manga to start and it shows. Like others pointed out how in certain aspects it's the inverse of AoT, which starts off as a shonen manga and evolves into a seinen manga, Vinland Saga on the other hand starts off as a seinen and evolves into a shonen.

Im definitely blinded by recency bias, but this might be my favorite episode of anything ever

In my opinion, the story before and after this oath was and is a dialogue-heavy action-drama seinen. Only the action before this oath was simply much more frequent than now after it. In a shonen, you'd theoretically expect the themes to be broken down more and rely more often on blunt action to simply captivate viewers with flying fists, for whom the dialogue or themes the author wants to address fly over their heads. [Minor spoilers from here on out.] In Vinland Saga, however, action plays a very minor role now. It's now more about how our characters deal with violence and war, how they stay true to their ideals or even question them. There's a reason why some people are starting to abandon Vinland Saga: Because the dialogue isn't enough for them to keep up. That wouldn't happen with a Shonen.

Seriously thinking I might be saying this is my favourite anime from now on, can't get over how stellar the writing has been since the second half of season 1 till now
