I disagree. Berserk was pretty much an anti-manga in the past. It was the main reason why the Westerners loved it so much. Miura went from reading sci-fi books and watching classic Western films to reading mostly manga, light novels and watching otaku garbage.

Schierke WAS a mistake.

What I told him in that interview is that if he had met me much earlier, Berserk could have been much better and probably finished by now, with you working on something new instead.

The one where you don't bother because you'll literally die before it's finished.

It takes so long between each chapter that you basically have to re-read the entire thing to follow the plot.

I've completely forgotten what happened the last 20 chapters or so, hard to keep track.

yea, that'll happen when you delay releases, besides it doesn't even matter anyway.

The best arcs in my opinion have been The Lost Children arc and Conviction arc. Just stick to a winning formula.

>>148697141
The plot is still fine, but
1) Schierke shouldn't be a kid. This is pure otaku garbage
2) there is too much humor
3) there are too many kids and useless characters in Guts' group
The same plot with different characters and more serious tone would make Berserk much better.

>>148697377
>3) there are too many kids and useless characters in Guts' group

Nice pleb opinion there edgelord. Protip: Guts is not going to get anywhere by going it alone. All of his enemies are far stronger than him and this isn't a battle shounen series where he can just pull power ups out of his ass. He needs support. That's why he has such a big party.

Three members are kids, none of them are "useless". They make fuck ups or may take time to cast a large and powerful spell, but it would be far more boring if Guts had a bunch of badass "pros" along with him, as it would diminish the tension.

While Araki has told dozens of stories with many characters. Usually all within different situations, settings, and Wikipedia article ripoffs.

>>148703394

Most of the retards crying about "moeshit" forget that Berserk is a -fantasy- manga, which, as a whole genre, has its roots in depictions of uplifting romance and beauty, influenced and pioneered by early writers like George MacDonald. In fact, Elfhelm may as well be taken straight out of Fairyland, and is more likely than not an allusion to it. It certainly has nothing to do with Idolmaster, and considering the vast shittiness of the rest of Berserk's world, it puzzles me to see people get so upset at the characters finally having a meaningful bout of respite. I think it has more to do with the slow release of new chapters than anything.

>>148703958

there's different genres of fantasy you fucking mong

>>148694099
Yes. Only real objective answer. Went from dark fantasy struggle to waifu harem.
Miura a shit.

>>148694705
I have read your shit before, keep on going Helmet-kun, looks nice.

>>148703958
Yeah, but you're missing the important part:
>I couldn't give less of a shit about any of that

I came to read Berserk not just because it was edgy and sort of "western" (whatever that's supposed to mean), but because it did a fantastic job of explaining why Guts was so fucked up in the head.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0ZhlVQ370c

Just listen to the lyrics of the song. Guts was meant to die as a waste of air, but he didn't. His entire life, he has fought for the sole sake of living to fight in the next battle, and Miura's writing made it so entertaining to read. This Moe bullshit doesn't belong here

>>148694478

2016 anime literally ruined remnants of Berserk

>>148704581
Drop in quality is just because he switched to digital, not due to lack of skill.

>>148704646
I hope so. It's pretty likely that there will be an invasion of Elf island to burn down its Spirit tree and crush what remains of the world's magic users, and that's to say nothing of what Schrieke and Farnese will see in Casca's replay of the eclipse.

I'm not sure how I feel about the direction in which Guts character is developing though.

>>148697666
>Protip: Guts is not going to get anywhere by going it alone. All of his enemies are far stronger than him
Oh yeah, because that stopped him before.

>>148694478

Farnese was literally on her knees for him, but Serpico rejected her because of incest. The only reason he follows her around is be she saved his life and she's the only family he has left.

That's the only reason why he doesn't care. He knows how successful he's gonna be regardless of what he does.

>>148694478
I hate the advice Torishima gives. He's basically telling him it's okay to pander and be a lazy, shitty writer, just because it makes you "happier". He doesn't seem to understand what Berserk is about, either.

Granted, it must be hard for Miura since the only people who truly appreciate Berserk are outside of Japan. He only gets to talk about his series to otaku shitheads that never read a book in their lives that wasn't hentai. It almost makes me want to write a letter to him, and get a Japanese friend to translate it, just to let him know that it is appreciated.

I miss edgy Guts. Also there used to be more NTR which was hot.

>>148707959
Not really. The only one who could've made any slight change is Schierke but even her would probably be powerless. Guts tried to swing his sword at Femto and shoot him, both didn't work, end of the game. No wind sword, Berserker armor or fire spell will change anything to that.

>>148694478
>>148708922
>>148695637
Indeed, Torishima's advises are garbage, we can be lucky that he wasn't the author:
>I think, if I were your editor, I would cut down your dialogue to a fifth and your shots to a quarter
>You do a lot of research for the sake of your work, but you shouldn’t! Why? Because you aren’t the kind of author that needs to study. You have the art and the storyline all in your head.
>Like I keep saying, if I were your editor, I wouldn’t have let you have Griffith fall

Seriously, under Torishima this would have turned into Dr. Slump just with more sword fighting.

>>148702865
Also that Griffith and Guts are the reincarnations of the sons of the original god of the world or some alien with super powers.
