Way Home

I can't believe how incredible that episode was! It had everything I could have possibly wanted, from an intense fight to unexpected plot twists and emotional moments that really pulled at my heartstrings. Thorfin and Snake are both such powerful and intriguing characters, and seeing them go head-to-head in battle was a true spectacle. The way the episode ended was just perfect, leaving me feeling completely satisfied and eagerly anticipating the next one. Vinland Saga has truly exceeded all of my expectations and I'm in awe of how well-crafted and impactful it is. The last episode of the first season made it one of the most solid shows I've ever seen, now with this one.. It's definitely my favorite anime of all times.

This episode left me physically sobbing. It was just so emotional.

Recent episodes have just banged, and this sub-arc of the show has been great, from start to finish.

I really could not say that Thorfinn is the main character of Vinland anymore. No one is the main character, we just see the story around where Thorfinn goes and is at that moment in the story. He's really interesting, yes, but episodes like this show he's just one of the infinite things that makes this show good.

I'm not one to usually cry at films or tv shows: this however left me physically sobbing my eyes out. Hell I even sat through the outro, which I never do, just to contemplate the whole thing.

I don't care if this episode was predictable, it's not about that, it's about how Vinland builds things that can make you sob your eyes out this badly.

Overall, a top 3 episode in the show. A top 40 in anime for sure. You need to watch this season, because it may differ from S1 but everything is still equally beautiful.

I am in tears! Its a been a while since I have felt so sad after watching a TV episode! Everytime i thought it could not get any sadder... it did! And when I say I cried while watching this, am not exagerating! This shattered my heart!

The story of Gadar and Arnheid was amazing! Such a realistic story that more than anything shows just what kind of world this is! They had everything once.. they were a happy familly in a cruel world! Incredible storytelling!

The soundtrack and directing was amazing! Just captured all the emotions! This must be how it feels when life flashes before your eyes! The fight was great, even if everything after completely overshadows it!

Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 17: "The Road Home"

Amazing story..., I'm speechless right now, wow!

This and episode 9 were the best of this season so far, the character development and build up to this was so damn perfect.

I thought this episode will all be about Thorfinn and Snake fighting, but it was so much more than that...

And don't get me wrong, I love that fight, the animation and choreography of this fight was so well made. Thank you creators and Mappa!

But the most important thread in this episode was Gardar and Arnheid story..., they are amazing characters that reflect the trauma and loss of a loved one due to war.

Gardar was a great man, a great husband and great father who wanted to protect his family, and Arnheid in the end of the episode just lost everything, really heartbreaking. Such tragic characters.

The music, the directing, the atmosphere was once again magnificent. Vinland saga is cinema.

I can't even begin to describe how this episode made me feel. Pure emotion to the core. Sadness, pride, regret, duty, purpose, love, care. All of this emotions are incredibly portrayed in this episodes. It's written to perfection and the build up to this episode It's worth it. I have to take my hat off to the voice actors as well.

I was wondering where they will take thr "Gardar-Arnheid" story, because at first it did not seem like much as I was eager to see what Thorfin will do next because they did not focus on him the last few episodes.

Vinland Saga deserves all the praise it has and this episodes proves it ten fold!
