I get that it's definitely upsetting to see someone get pulped in front of you, and Suletta's demeanor doesn't seem quite right for the circumstances (especially given her reaction when the same thing happened to her a few minutes prior). But the dude was trying to kill you and mobile suits are weapons of war. What exactly did you think was the end result of all that training with guns and missiles? Frankly I'm surprised it took this long for someone to die given how many got shot, impaled, or cut to pieces in duels.
That said, I'm really enjoying the conjurers trick is having the focus be the school and the school kids, who aren't aware of the complicated corporate byplay going on, and how that then influences the audiences perception.
It's a damn clever show

Again, it's The Tempest But With Giant Robots. One of the points of that play is that the kids have no awareness of the past that drives the action of the adults.
Oh I know! (I really need to read the Tempest - I hope Madeline Miller can get to her adaption soon. She's doing a take on Hades and Persephone, while dealing with long COVID).
It's just a really smart show though - even accounting for using Tempest as a base, there's a richness to it, and so many smart little things.

The watermelon crunching atmosphere piece in the middle was imo astounding, the vibes are immaculate. I'd have taken 10 hours of that.
Crocodile is the darkhorse MVP of the whole thing for Luffy.
It can be fun! And it let's you appreciate the full humor of "exit, pursued by bear"
Or you know, horror, since that got done gets bear'd. Not even an onstage death, just off screen bear'd

Exit, pursued by bear is Winter's Tale iirc.
I'd say it's more than allusion, it's clearly a major influence on the series' plot. But they're doing more than simply adapting it to Gundam, for sure.

it's about vikings and existentialism, it's very good and personally i think it's one of the best to come out recently
but the vikings are, well, violent bloodthirsty raiders, and there is a decent amount of graphic violence, so be warned on that front
It's grim.
I've only watched season 1 so far, and it's good, but it's very very grim. Not in a pointless fashion, but in a "turns out the Vikings were not good people, and their culture was fucked" historically accurate fashion. Not light watching at all

Can't properly explore a story about cycles of violence and the self-destructive nature of toxic masculinity without indulging in a bit of it first.

Implied in general terms ie Norse raiding, never shown. This is from my memory of season 1(which may be faulty)and Season 2 which doesn’t.
That being said, Vinland Saga is heavy on the realistic depictions of plain ole fashioned violence.
S2 has a moment of threatened SA which is interrupted and does not occur, nothing graphic
PSN: Robo_Wizard1
Yeah, this is part of why I've held off watching S2 - not that I don't want to watch it, but I'm aware of is general gist and that it's gonna be heavy watching and I'm just not in the headspace for it.
@MNC Dover if you haven't, give She-Ra or Kipo on Netflix a go, they're both excellent

The manga talks about it at times, but does not explicitly depict it.

Well, the good news is it is VERY much not Diet Berserk, or, even tangentially similar.
In fact...I'm completely comfortable saying outside of presented gender, Thorfinn is the literal exact opposite of Guts. Right down to weaponry, fighting style, and character.
Season 1 of Vinland Saga essentially exists for two scenes.
The second season, well, lets just say it's something no one should ruin.
I'm 27 volumes into Berserk and 26 volumes into Vinland Saga I can tell you that while they're exploring similar themes, they are very different works
Guts and Thorfinn are almost diametrically opposed WRT how to deal with their trauma

Berserk at best gets to do a message of survival.
Hey so this is a bit incorrect and I will spoil why.
But it very much exists.
It's purpose is to show how broken he is, and how common this is in that time period. It's not a comfortable or safe scene at all.
I don't want anyone thinking they can walk into this manga without any confrontation, that could set someone off.
If I had a nickel for every time I've seen an anime episode about tracking down a Betamax player to watch an old tape I would have two nickels
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
