At an absolute loss for words

loving poo poo what the gently caress

How sudden was it, because if was known he was having health problems, it really makes me think back - didn't he bring on assistants some years ago to help out???

Hope I don't have to recontextualize that :smith:

God drat it, wonder what happens now

An aortic dissection does have risk factors but it can happen suddenly and yeah, your main artery pumping blood into a tear to the point where the inner lining separates from the outer lining of your main artery is bad times

aortic tears can be extremely sudden, but its also possible he was having consistent heart problems and this was just what wound up happening. Impossible to say, really.

Oh my God I'm heartbroken, I've been following this before the Dreamcast game here in the US. He was such a talent, hell, my Gmail account is a reference to Griffith. I really hope that he had family with him and he wasn't just found this way..

Berserk is one of the best manga ever created, even unfinished.

What a loss. Such beautiful artwork. I'll miss him so much.

I read Berserk a number of years ago now, during a fairly vulnerable part of my life, and I'm only now realizing how big of an impact it had on me. I don't even know what to say

I'm so sad about his passing, and I know it's purely selfish but I hope he had at least an outline of how he wanted Guts' story to end.

I felt no real allusion to ever experiencing a true ending for Berserk, but now it feels especially bittersweet to come to an abrupt end where we did, as Guts having accomplished his main goal of saving Casca's mind, while being unable to experience the catharsis we all hoped it would bring for him.

Another spring commute
The sadness really hasn't hit me yet. Just kinda numb. It was always a dumb joke "hurr Miura's gonna die before he finishes Berserk!" but in a "the pace is so slow it's gonna take him another 30 years to wrap it up" way, not a "drop dead out of nowhere at just 58." :smith:

Maybe its just rationalization, but Berserk ending that way still feels like a fitting ending to Berserk to me kind of.

Bad poo poo happens to you in life, you fight to make the best of it you can even if you don't get everything you wanted in the end.

drat that sucks, I wonder if he had any backup plans for the series in case something like this happened or if it’s just gone along with him.

I never really expected an ending, but I hope he didn’t die with any regrets about not finishing the series when he was so close. I’m really appreciative of what we have of Berserk.

I 1000% don’t want anyone else taking over the story, even if there is a rough outline. At least Guts reached a place of relative peace. I hope Miura is also at peace.

Not getting a true ending sucks but I agree, I'm happy at leaving it here. We got Casca back in the end, that can be enough.
