Ccs posted:If anyone is chafing between chapters, I highly recommend the book "Between Two Fires" by Christopher Buehlman. It's possibly the most Berserk-esque book I've ever read, to the point that I was sure some sections were direct homages. It's historical fantasy, and the author has done a poo poo ton of research into medieval France, so it doesn't seem derivative at all. I read a ton of fantasy and this is one of the best in a long time. Chiming in also to say thanks for this recommendation! I picked up a copy after reading a sample and it is indeed very Berserk-esque. Really enjoying it so far! Has just the right amount of grim dread and dark humor 👍

GF doesn't understand, she's only read a few pages, so I'm having to reach out to the corners of the weeb internet to feel better. Man, same boat Nobody I know gets it. Where else have you found folks talking about it?

Ccs posted:For those feeling severe Berserk withdrawal and annoyance over the fact that we will never get an official ending, I will once again recommend Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. It is the most Berserk-esque book I have ever read. The amount of similarities are staggering, and it has a very satisfying ending. It will never provide the ending we could hope for with Berserk but it's great to read a book that shares the same sensibilities that concludes its story within a single incredibly enjoyable novel. I think I mentioned this already in the thread but I bought this novel after your rec and can vouch that it is very good and very Berserk-esque! Great book.

I’m just so glad Berserk is back! Can’t wait to see how the team learns and adapts to Miura’s art style. It looks great but I agree with the sentiment that the fundamentals are a little off: looks like they nailed his rendering and hatching style but the underlying forms and panel composition need a little polishing. But honestly it looks drat great. Best we could hope for. And… tbh he was drawing crazy giraffe necks before he passed away, so they’re doing a good job  Mainly I’m just stoked that such an awesome series will see an end! Been absorbed with Berserk since high school and I’m so glad they’re continuing his legacy.
