I don't mean to say that every bad thing in Berserk only happens to women, it's just that there aren't any strong female characters without at least some kind of string attatched.

But...there aren't any strong male characters without strings attached. I think the closest we've come to seeing something like that is Serpico.

Depending on when you count from, you might even be younger. The "prototype" was written sometime in 1988.

Then I'm as old as Berserk. Some might find that sad...I find it kinda awesome.

Agreed. This year was a pretty good year for releases, overall. Pretty good chapters, too. Just when I thought I had had it with pirates, Miura throws me some undead fish-demon pirates and refreshes things. How awesome.:allears:

I'm sorry your entertainment options are so limited. May I suggest One Piece? I get the feeling you may find that series updates considerably more often and is comparable in quality, if not maturity.

I'm sorry that you're so beaten down by Berserk that this news causes no reaction from you. Look, I'm looking forward to the new project, since I agree that something new will probably be good for Miura. Even so, a whole year with no news, no nothing, until finally news breaks out that Miura is working on something completely different is a let down.

But you're totally right, me being disappointed that this series still hasn't gone anywhere in over 365 days is a sign of immaturity. gently caress off.

T'was a joke, you see.

Besides, they released the second movie in English back in August, and the third came out in February in Japan, so saying the year has had nothing is ignoring what we have gotten. No new chapters, but not nothing.

Right over my head, then.

I guess I didn't really think about the movies. My interest in them was pretty low though, so that probably explains that.

I am a failure in every conceivable way. I can never make amends for my transgressions.:smith:

So since you brought it up, did the movies get better after the first one? I remember it not being bad, but the retread didn't really move the needle for me.

I kinda hope it was Gundam Seed Destiny. Just knowing it exists makes me cry some days.


Gonna sit down tomorrow night and get through the 2nd and 3rd Berserk movies. Should be fun, I hope.

I like the way they give the idea of wrestling such a romantic, noble kind of air. Cause man, Hulk Hogan was never a romantic, noble kind of creature.

YouTube commenters are amazing, though. These dudes are putting in 200% effort into the dorkiest luxury items you can think of, and they're questioning the craftsmanship of it all.

But yeah, it's really impressive. The "not real blacksmiths" crowd is probably all people who've never forged a thing in their lives, too.

I've never forged anything in my life, nor do I think I ever will. Even so, I just don't see how people can bitch when so much effort is clearly being put into these things. If in fact these items were of shoddy quality, I wouldn't be able to tell you what quality actually is.:shrug:

Nina is a bad person, but also a product of her environment. In a better world, she'd only be a bratty little poo poo. A lot less prostitution and VD, I'd imagine.

I look at it this way: There are plenty of anime that come out every season that look stunning and gorgeous, but are awful fanservicey trash. This Berserk series looks pretty subpar most of the time, but at least I know I like what it's going to be about.

In other words, this adaptation has real flaws but I'm willing myself past them.

Two ideas:

1)Hiatus means poo poo is going to get loving bleak, which while not surprising given where they're going it's still going to give me whiplash after a chapter like this.


2)I........I hate this man and the addiction he has inflicted upon me. Draw worse and faster, god drat you.:smithicide:
