How Much of Vinland Saga Did the Anime Cover?
The Vinland Saga anime covered seven volumes and some of the eighth volume. The first season ended with Chapter 54, which is also considered the end of the War arc in the manga. There are a total of 198 chapters as of writing, so there is a chance that the upcoming season will cover 50 to 60 chapters. If this proves true, then there would be enough chapters for another season or a movie.
