Lost Children isn't edgier than Golden Arc

Not that you remembered reading it because you have shit tier taste

You have no idea what you're talking about. Kill yourself.

I'm put off by how much graphic rape it has

Then maybe you should go back to Tumblr.

It does edgy right. The TV show doesn't.

Without the great atmosphere the drawing of the manga gives it just doesn't work and seems like trash.

That's a little harsh don't you think

I mean, is it really necessary for Casca's rape to be 20 pages long and that graphic

It was hardly graphic. She was in a daze during it, not screaming or feeling pain.

>>144541814
Current arc isn't edgy, but it is garbage.

>>144541758
And how is it worse than torture or violent murder?


Sorry, I don't indulge people with seeming double standards.

What's happening is part of a phenomenon I wrote about a couple of years ago when I was asked to comment on Kentaro Miura. I went to cdjapan and bought and read a copy of the "Golden Age." I suffered a great deal in the process. The writing was dreadful; the art was a mess. As I read, I noticed that every time the main character fell down in the presence of others, he would accidentally fall on a woman and grope her breasts. I began marking on the back of my tankōbon volume every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the volume several dozen times. I was incredulous. Miura's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of writing.

But when I wrote that on My Anime List, I was denounced. I was told that new anime fans would now read and watch only Berserk, and I was asked whether that wasn't, after all, better than reading nothing at all? If Berserk was what it took to make them pick up anime or manga, wasn't that a good thing?

It is not. "Berserk" will not lead our children on to Masaaki Yuasa's "The Tatami Galaxy" or his "Ping Pong: The Animation" It will not lead them to Satoshi Kon's "Perfect Blue" or Ryūtarō Nakamura's "Serial Experiments Lain" or to reading Gen Urobuchi's chef-d'œuvre, "Fate/Zero".

Later I read a lavish, loving review of Berserk by Hiroyuki Imaishi. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these new fans are reading Berserk at 13 or 14, then when they get older they will go on to watch Gurren Lagann." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read Berserk, you are, in fact, trained to watch Gurren Lagann.

Is it unnecessary? If your feelings are hurt that bad maybe you should go cry to a place that'll be more receptive of them, and stick to stories for children.

You guys are being retarded but Black Swordsmen/Lost Children is way edgier/darker than Golden Age, as a whole. Guts is even worse than the start of Golden Age, and that's ignoring all the other shitty characters being assholes, which are in higher supply than Golden Age.
I mean, unless you equate Eclipse to being indicative of the entire Golden Age, in which case I suppose the edge isn't particularly different.

The Eclipse was great because it came out of nowhere and was fucking terrifying. Then all the other silly edgy shit happened and we all became numb to the overall brutality.
