After the successful delivery of the TV anime Vinland Saga in 2019 based on Makoto Yukimura’s popular manga of the same name, Director Shuuhei Yabuta promised the Vikings will be back with season 2 very soon.

In a recent tweet on October 1st, Yubata posted a curious update on Twitter noting that the animation producer is more important than the studio in charge.

It is certain that studios play a role in coordinating the environment for creative teams, but each and every staff member is much more important for the success. Gathering staff is largely due to the skills of Animation Producer and the studio does not necessarily affect. pic.twitter.com/bnXSHFpVfp

I think Hiroya Hasegawa is the best Animation Producer I have ever met. Therefore I can concentrate on my work, and I can have confidence in Season 2 from the staff's passion and their work.

This is not an unknown fact that it is the job of an Animation Producer to keep the animators in check and it is one of the prominent roles in the production of an anime series.

The update is likely because the second season of Vinland Saga has suffered a change in the animation studio in charge. 

While WIT Studio handled the first season, it becomes a question mark if it will also handle the second.

The officials have kept the Viking anime fans pumped with continuous updates until the release of Vinland Saga season 2 as author Makoto Yukimura assured the fans in a recent tweet that “season 2 won’t skip any material from the manga.”

You don't have to worry. The animation production team respects the original very much. Thank you for enjoying Vinland Saga🤗 https://t.co/Khgj2cvhc9
