A Just Cause – Vinland Saga S2 Ep 16 Review

With help from Sverkel, Thorfinn and Einar resolve to help Arnheid and Gardar escape Ketil’s Farm. Thorfinn pits his new philosophy against Snake in battle.

You know, as much as I am rooting for Thorfinn and Einar in this situation, they actually aren’t in the right – Snake is. Snake is right to seek retribution against Gardar, and unfortunately, Arnheid is considered a fugitive aiding a criminal since she is currently considered Ketil’s property.

A Society Without War- Vinland Saga S2 Ep 15 Review

Thorfinn and Einar ruminate on what it would take to build a society without war. Arnheid inadvertently frees her husband Gardar from captivity.

Due to the retainer’s taking pleasure in the sport of killing slaves for no grievable offense other than their bemoaning social standing, I find it extremely hard to care when Gardar begins mowing them down indiscriminately to escape and regain his freedom.

Arnheid’s Backstory – Vinland Saga S2 Ep 14 Review

Arnheid tells Sverkel how she wound up enslaved on Ketil’s farm. Now carrying Ketil’s child, Arnheid is forced to choose between her new and old life.

The more I think about it, the worse I feel for Arnheid and her current situation today. It really is unfair that she has to tolerate and deal with her current dilemma all for want of riches never obtained.

Lackadaisy is a Fantastic Short Film!

Prohibition hasn’t been easy on the Lackadaisy speakeasy. Is it worth Rocky, Freckle, and Ivy risking their lives to bring back lackluster hootch to survive?

In a world where studios like Warner Bros and Disney are attempting to Thanos snap their cartoons and past animations from this reality, Lackadaisy is a welcome addition to a medium waiting on another renaissance.

An Emotionless Heart – Chainsaw Man Ep 9 – 10 Review

Aki struggles to adjust after Himeno’s death and decides to seek revenge. Denji realizes that he can no longer feel strong emotions within his heart.

I’m still a bit salty about Himeno’s death. Apparently so is Aki, since he’s willing to throw his life away when Himeno sacrificed herself to ensure that he would survive. Logic, eh?
