Same.  Yeah some of the climactic events were a surprise, but I felt like they were strongly built up to.  I kinda expected a rugpull and another season of the same formula recipe, and I was pleasantly surprised!  And shocked in a good way.

I am sorta surprised that two characters didn't literally kiss though, based on how the fandom reacted /j

I also think that Laios is maybe a fairly accurate portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome in a character. As in, he's a high functioning autistic. Kinda socially dysfunctional, narrow interests, and inability to read people's emotions. Additionally, I think Kabru would be your textbook psychopath, with his superficial charm and otherwise ruthless behavior.

I don't know if any other characters would be considered "Textbook cases of..." but I just think that adds additional depth to the characters to make them interesting.

I powered through both seasons of Vinland Saga. I've heard nothing but praise for the series for a long time, but my own stubborn loyalty to shitty games and appetite for trash entertainment usually keeps me away from anything that is actually 'good'. I started it up regardless though, and finally had my Danny Devito moment of "Oh my god, I get it now." cause it really did live up to the hype.

Starting up the manga at the cutoff point now. I'm extremely pleased.

... does the anime have the scene where they ask the drunk priest who has the better god? That's one of only like two or three things I remember from the last time I read through what manga was available in english.

Yeah it has that scene. From what I can tell the manga has gone way past that point.
