NGL, I initially found it premium boring and dosed off many times while watching the first few episodes last year even tho I knew it was good. The minus 0.1 points deduction that didn't give it a perfect score is for that penalisation for not enjoying it at first.

I knew I was gonna enjoy it later but at that time I couldn't digest it properly. So I left it.
The moment I realised they're both different things and wasn't going to be the same as season 1, the more I opened up to it.

It's the best character work I've ever seen for an anime. Einar back story was very captivating. Arnheid and Gardar story was very captivating and the climax of the whole season. Bruv, that shït was heartbreaking as fvvk. If they ever adapted the show/manga into live action, people go cry tire amd give it GOAT status easily.

That's why I criticise people who don't clearly understand what they are watching or the narrative a filmmaker is trying to pass. Those people who dunked at VS S2 are dumb@ss that needs to stick to action and vibes, cos even tho it felt boring and slow unlike the first, it was a storytelling masterpiece. The voice actors deserves Emmys.

That scene where the farmer — Arnheid's master beats her brutally rocked me to my bones. Proved the point of one bad day can turn any man, even a good man into a monster.

Aside the folks that hated on Vinland Saga S2 for hating sake, the criticism for the genre switch is valid. Returning to a show that already established itself as an action show in its first season expecting action is not irrational in any way.

A lot of viewers definitely needed to readjust to the execution, narrative style and pacing of the second season. I mean, even you admitted that it took some getting used to.

The Rose of Versailles (1979).....8.5/10


Synopsis -
The story is centered on the true life events leading up to the French Revolution of 1789 and also covers the Revolution itself whereby the commoners and some other factions sought to take back political power over France from the ruling class/monarchy. This led to countless loss of life and so much human cruelty.

The story is about 90% based on true life events but it's major protagonist is a completely fictional character called Oscar François de Jarjayes. Oscar was a member of the Jarjayes family who have been loyal to the Monarchy.

Oscar, due the her father lacking a male heir was raised by her father as a man to succeed him. As a result, she joined the Royal guards.

It is a tragic tale that retells the events leading up to the French revolution and many characters who played different roles in it.
I had to do a little research on the French revolution after I finished watching and while the series isn't 100% accurate, it is mostly accurate and many of the major events and characters were captured in this 40 episodes anime series.

It captures many major events like the Affair of the diamond necklace during which the people completely lost faith in the ruling class. ..

When I started the story, I thought it would be like the usual Hollywood female power show with Mary Sue characters but the deeper I went, it became clear that this wasn't the case.

Every character stands out with their own strength and weaknesses. Oscar struggling with her own identity and romance as someone who was raised as a man and who had fully accepted that identity, even if it meant depriving herself of love and attempting to shut out her feminine side and feminine emotions.

Andre who loved and was loyal to Oscar but would not hesitate to call her out when he disagreed with her choices.

Marie Antoiniette, the Dauphine of Austrian origin who entered a political marriage at the tender age of 14 with the French Dauphin (who became King Louis XVI). She was mostly portrayed as a timid but ignorant Queen easily manipulated and swayed by her own emotions and thus failing to see the plight of the common people.

The way the story captures many events is brilliant. The soundtrack too was brilliant and fitting.

The only downside is the animation. Since it was animated in 1979, the animation is not great.

The Tyrant (2024).....8/10


Synopsis - set in the same universe as THE WITCH movies.

Some South Korean agents launch a secret superhuman project to create a superhuman army. Similar projects are being run in major power countries like the U.S. But South Korea is not one of the world's superpowers.

The secret project in Korea is exposed to the US and so the project gets scrapped and the sample is to be handed over when a delivery accident occurs. Different major factions are now after the last sample of the Project Tyrant especially the South Korean "Patriots" and the U.S who send their own agents to recover same.


Thoughts -

This mini-series is not easy to understand at all. It took me a while to understand what was going on...so I'm sure many people will struggle with it.


The final episode while it cleared up some mystery, some parts were also confusing...

In fact the ending is a flashback scene to 15 years ago that shows it's major connection to THE WITCH part one movie. **** is revealed to be one of the escaped superhumans from The Witch part 1 and thus had some level of superpowers from this start.

This explains some weird scenes that occured previously in the movie.


I have a feeling that some characters from this mini-series will appear in The Witch Part 3 movie when it releases



Also, the superhuman action scenes in this mini-series and the entire The Witch franchise is far better than what we got in Herogasm of The Boys. Same as the superhuman fights in MOVING series being great.

How Koreans can somehow make better superhuman fights than Hollywood despite having less budget is a mystery.

Kaczynski:
Watch the veil ( Korean) , it's much better than this shit


Koreans are always good at everything than US thanks to the Japanese


Thanks to Korea for giving Samsung and ramen

I don finally give up on "The ring of power S2" I can't waste anymore data on this

Baddestguyp:
Didn't even waste my data on a single Episode of season 2.

I don't have much faith in the writers
