Vinland saga season 2 is a strong disappointment comparing it to the first season. There's hardly any action or suspense, the protagonist takes half of the season to come to terms with what has transpired and essentially wants to become jesus. The pace is sloggish, they deliberately make shots too long conveying no new information with the unnecessary extra seconds. The ideology of nonviolence that the protagonist goes for doesnt make any sense in the timeframe and setting, nobody during viking times would've been shocked by violence that was part of the culture that the warriors lived. I couldn't really care for many of the ... characters in the series even when their deaths were dramatized to the extreme. Furthermore, the spesific circumstances of the love triangle were also appalling.

Without s1 I wouldn't have wasted my time for this. But also without s1 the expectations would have been different. I don't think you should change the genre of your anime between seasons. A classic tale of vengage is always more entertaining than a wannabe jesus with poor pseudo philosophical blabbering behind it.
