It started off strong and rapidly became very dull. I don't mind if there's no action but i literally stopped caring about the plot, about Thorfinn wanting revenge. Hell Thorfinn barely appears. The rest of the characters are just assholes. Then prince Canute does angry face and I just couldn't watch it anymore.

Priest be like "love is when dead person" my eyes rolled so hard I could see my brain.

Can't even bring myself to finish season 1 i simply don't care about a single character.

I didn't learn my lesson with Re:Zero to just not listen to whats popular cos its a guaranteed wet fart.

    Then again the author is a lib so idk what to make of all this.

    Yeah and if you read his little notes and whatnot at the end of the Manga volumes alot of this just comes from rationalizing his fascination with Nordic culture against his Liberal sensibilities. That's literally the entire character of Thorfinn right there.

    Maybe I'm over-focusing on the sociopolitical aspects in the background when it's more just about Thorfinn's personal growth.

    This is ultimately where I'm at with it; it's an interesting story about the subjective experience of a young boy, and then man, trapped in a world of violence.
