Since I didn't post the last two months' chapters, I might as well do so now since there'll be a new chapter soon. I'll start by posting the extra stuff released along with chapter 162 drawn by Yukimura's assistant about Yukimura's trip to the anime's voicing session, since MS didn't translate that.
Most interesting takeaway from this is that the childhood arc will run for 6 episodes? I don't even remember it being that long in the manga? Do they plan on adding more anime-original stuff after Thors' death where we get to see Thorfinn's early days with Askeladd's band or something?
I can't even imagine fucking the man who killed your father right in front of you, in cold blood. I can understand forgiveness or recognition the murderer has changed for the better, but love is a couple of steps way too far. Even if you think the heart does what it wants, the mind should be screaming at all cylinders to nip any nascent feelings in the bud.
It's pretty good for the most part. I did find the CG in the battle scene in ep 1 and other scenes to be kind of janky. Non-cg backgrounds looked nice though. Voices seemed spot on, aside from Askeladd, whose voice is alright but I'm not quite sold on yet.
Caleb Clark
Yeah, I'm not really sold on Askeladd either. Going to wait till he's angry before making a final call though.
I still wish things post-Farmland Saga were a little less sappy and slapstick but a panel like this almost makes it worth it.

Cheers.

Thanks hox and a big thanks for Ad Astra, which I just caught up on and am thoroughly enjoying (in no small part due to the fact that it's my introduction to the 2nd Punic War)

BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Michael Cruz
That's some interesting assistant you got there, yukimura-sensei
Gavin Myers
Fuck I though anons were shitposting about Thorfinn cucking Einar, but that actually happened historically. KEK.

based, halfdan is a great dad when push comes to shove

Would be cool to see this getting an anime too but it's probably highly unlikely.
I could do without Halfdan going Super Saiyan, but I'm glad he's not just going along with Sigurd's dumb-ass ideas about "muh personal freedom".
Tyler Davis
Well to be fair Uemura need to follow up his voice with the child Thorfinn’s VA (Ishigami Shizuka) so it’s good that he attended all the recording to get the feel of it.
But we have 3 more eps of child Thorfinn wtf. I thought we will get back to teen Thorfinn in Ep 5 at least. They really padding it out it seems, are they really aiming to end the Prologue arc this season or not?

> Voices seemed spot on, aside from Askeladd Same, but to be honest, I think that the voice will actually be perfect for him once the timeskip happens and everybody's older.

> I could do without Halfdan going Super Saiyan It's interesting how people are taking everything literally. His hair's not actually spiking up like that, that's just a visual metaphor or theoretical representation of his intensity/anger, you are not supposed to take it at the face value. This has always boggled my mind. Everything has to be quite a different experience if you read everything literally like that. Actually sounds a bit fun.

I want Caestus mom and son incest scene.

>His hair's not actually spiking up like that, that's just a visual metaphor or theoretical representation of his intensity/anger, I'm not a retard, do you really think I don't know that? I just think it looks stupid.
