Is Guts suppose to be German?

I thought I remembered hearing something like that. In the Berserk world, would you say that Guts is from that world's Germany?

I just imagined Berserk in the style of Jojo, and it is all kinds of ridiculous.

I think a very poignant point in the Lost Children arc is the ending, when Guts is telling the little girl to stay away from the darkness. I'd post those pages, but I can't right now.

What actors would you want to play the characters in live action? I can see them having Peter Dinklage play one of the God Hand. Ubik I think?

It's seriously impressive that no character is truly forgotten in this series, and every "unimportant" side character stays involved. Hell, many of the king's generals are still around, like the guy who checked on the ongoing plague, and who almost recognized Guts as a member of the Hawks. I fully expect Ganeshka's wizard to gently caress things up somewhere down the line. Waaaaaay down the line.

What about the daughter of the Apostle near the beginning of the series?

Did they say the flow of time on the island was faster or slower than the rest of the world?

Nate RFB posted:

I believe it was faster, i.e. we are getting some sort of time skip by the time Guts and crew leave the island. There'd be no real consequence/change if it were slower, they'd just leave at close to the time they'd arrive. Presumably this is so Rickert can catch up with them quicker.

I think you got that mixed-up. I was talking about island time.

I heard from a friend that I should skip the first episode of the anime. Said that it messed up the rest of the series. Any merit to that claim?

Only if you're a Berserk virgin and are going into it expecting it to be a gritty realistic drama about medieval mercenaries or something.

Yeah, friend assumed that I did not know anything about the series. Since I read the manga already, I don't need to worry about "spoilers" or anything. Now I just need to find the series.

I sort of agree, with the catch being that I prefer Sign II to the normal.

I have a problem with that version of Sign. It sounds like there's a rubber band being played and I can't not hear that every time I listen to this version.

The old anime starts with one episode of Black Swordsman stuff (he kills the slug count but doesn't meet the God Hand, iirc), and then at the end cuts off the eclipse just before Guts and Casca get rescued. It just shows black swordsman Guts alive somehow, walking off after his season-long flashback.

I thought he killed the snake guy in that episode and the slug count didn't appear in the anime.

The Skull Knight would be voiced by James Earl Jones. As for who plays him, could be anyone big enough.

I decided to listen to some Berserk music that I haven't heard in a long time, got to Sign-2, and I am just wondering what that instrument playing throughout the song is. It kinda sounded like a rubber band.

I would say Guts is in the middle between Jack and Kenshiro.


EDIT: Bit off-topic, but I'm suddenly wondering how violent a crossover between Violence Jack and Fist of the North Star would be.

I think part of the reason for the confusion is the fact that the numbering doesn't start until after 16 chapters, so that means chapter "1" is actually chapter 17.

Guts has a lot of issues around sex given what he’s witnessed and experienced. Using sex to trap an apostle, as well as making him super vulnerable, seems wildly out of character.

I imagine if Miura could redo it, he'd have some other normal guy having sex, the apostle transforms and almost eats him, and then Guts suddenly appears when he shoves his arm into the apostle's mouth and blows it up, and the normal guy is freaking out.

I sure hope that when it's time to cast Skull Knight for your live action Berserk, you choose Tony Todd as his voice.

The whole Fantasia thing is caused by the World Tree spreading throughout the realms and merging them. Clearly the best solution to undoing everything is to chop that tree down, and luckily we know someone who would make an excellent lumberjack.

I know people feel uncomfortable about all the butt shots, but I think that's only part of what puts people off. There's something about the design of the kids, they feel more realistic than most anime kids. For example, you see ribs showing on their skinny bodies.
