Specifically, the new trailer was shared on both the official MAPPA YouTube channel as well as on the TWIN ENGINE YouTube channel. The highlight of the new trailer is the song River performed by Anonymouz. In case you’re unfamiliar, Vinland Saga is an anime series that’s based on the manga of the same name by Makoto Yukimura. The manga is serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine, and it is set to end sometime soon. The first season was released back in July 2019 and was made by Wit Studio. Though for Season 2, the series’ production was moved to MAPPA. This is reminiscent of Attack on Titan which was also moved from Wit Studio to MAPPA for its final season. As it had a change in studio, the series features a star-studded cast. For starters, the show’s screenplay is by Hiroshi Seko (Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen) and the character design is by Takahiko Abiru (Death Note, Attack on Titan The Final Season). It also features Yusuke Takeda (Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song, Penguin Highway), and music by Yutaka Yamada (Alice in Borderland, Tokyo Revengers, Tokyo Ghoul). Meanwhile, the series features a cast of returning voice actors, including:
Yuto Uemura as ThorfinnShunsuke Takeuchi as EinarKensho Ono as CanuteMayumi Sako as ArnheidYu Hayashi as Olmar
Hideaki Tezuka as KetilTaiten Kusunoki as ThorgilFuminori Komatsu as SnakeMugihito as SverkelYoji Ueda as LeifAkio Otsuka as Thorkel
Vinland Saga Season 2 on Crunchyroll
The first season of the anime was streamed outside of Japan, but the anime was not available on Crunchyroll. Instead, the series was released on other platforms, including HIDIVE and Netflix, though availability varies depending on the region. Vinland Saga Season 2 is set to release in January 2023, and it is confirmed to release in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. This is unlike typical Crunchyroll releases which are typically limited to the Americas, Europe, CIS, and South America. RELATED: How Historically Accurate Is Vinland Saga, Exactly?
