There was a need to properly animate Thorfinn's facial expressions in his life as a slave. The setting was animated based on Yabuta imput who had become more experienced ever since animating the first season and improve the animation. Producer Naokado Fujiyama said the main theme involves the handling of psychology most notably in Thorfinn's, Einar's and Ketil. In contrast to Thorfinn and Einar who become friendlier and active across the story, Ketil displays instead a darker tone in the last episodes of the season due to the themes of violence. Thorfinn's growth when becoming wiser was one of the season's highlights when animating it. [8] Release [ edit ] Loo, Egan (February 6, 2019).
