Season 2 of the anime historical drama Vinland Saga has weighed anchor on Crunchyroll, available to stream now. Based on the award-winning Viking manga epic written by Makoto Yukimara published by Kodansha, the series originally aired on Japan’s NHK in 2019.
S2 Synopsis:
A new millennium begins in the southern part of the Jutland peninsula in Denmark. After the death of his longtime enemy, Askeladd, Thorfinn lost his purpose in life. He was bought by the landowner Ketil as a “slave” and engaged in land reclamation work on his farm. Thorfinn meets a young man there, Einar, who was also a slave like him. The encounter with Einar led Thorfinn to face the sins he had committed and begin to find meaning in life. Meanwhile, Canute, who became the King of England, attempted to extend his territory for the establishment of “the promised land.”
This is “The Story of a True Warrior (Saga).” “The story of Atonement and Salvation (Saga)” that lies beyond the prologue.
Vinland Saga is directed by Shuhei Yabuta, with series composition by Hiroshi Seko, character design by Takahiko Abiru and music by Yutaka Yamada. MAPPA performed the animation production.
