You know, you can say what you want about Griffith but sending rakasha after rickert just for a slap was a dick move
>>154749703
How long did Puck traveled with Guts before he returned to Godo's mine?
>>154749788
I though he was sent because Locus told him to or some shit. Rickert said that if Griffith wanted him dead he wouldn't have made so much mistakes.
>>154749703

>>154750099
That's all the art I'll post
>>154749908
>I though he was sent because Locus told him to or some shit
I seriously doubt that.
Locus seems like he's second or third in command, after Griffith and Zodd unless he's just a bodyguard. If there's one thing i REALLY don't think anyone who serves Griffith so blindly and revere him as a god would do, it's insubordination.
>Rickert said that if Griffith wanted him dead he wouldn't have made so much mistakes
When? I don't remember that line.
My guess is that pic related hit Griffith like a ton of bricks, and he realized Rickert could be a threat. And, just like in the past, he put on a pretty poker face in public and later turned to his subordinates and asked them to do the dirty-work, like with Adonis and Guts.
Hell, Griffith even sees Rakshas flying after them, he didn't seem that upset or in a hurry to stop him.

Dub cast
>>154750777
As far as dub goes it's pretty ok. Wonder who's doing guts though

>>154749837
I think it was the better part of the year.
>>154751549
Why is that? Studio beef?
>>154752265
1 volume=many chapters
>>154752502
>pic related
>>154752265
One chapter is about 19-25 pages, a volume is about 190-210 pages, for the past 15 or so volumes they've been about 9 chapters
I wonder how much Miura's art will have evolved...
>>154752265
How the fuck are you on /a/?
>>154753093
This >>154750140 is his most recent drawing
>>154747578
>>154753528
Nice, but then what the fuck was the deal with the last chapter's art?
>>154753626
He's clearly not used to his new digital format
>>154753626
I don't know, I heard it's because he recently switched to digital, but I imagine he was pretty busy when he was working on the past few chapters also since he's a supervisor on the new anime, did new art for the blu-rays, art and interviews for the guidebook
>>154753942
>>154753833
Question is, did he switch to digital for good or is he just experimenting?
I just don't think you can do any better than the old way, no matter how good you are with digital
>>154753942
Is the merloli gonna stick with the group? I can only see her getting brutally raped by apostles since she doesn't fight for shit.
>>154754100
I imagine something's going to happen soon on the island, I would say only the main group is safe, and maybe Roderick
>>154754203
What about based king Magnifico.
>>154750706
>HEY AM I FITTING IN YET?!?!
>>154754243
He's already dead
>>154753615
CLANG
What do you guys think the end will look like?
Here is my personal take:
Just before the very last fight with griffith, skullnight appears and tells gutsthat he's him from the future and that if he fights griffith right now, he will die and become skull knight himself, unable to ever kill griffith. He got sent back in time via the behelit that activated when he fought griffith at that time.
Guts understands, stops and asks skullnight when the time will finally come. Skullnight pulls out his sword swallows it and creates a distortion that leads them to the idea of evil. The idea will then have a conversation with guts, with guts' fate changed as a result of it. He then gets thrown back in time and faces of griffith rips his fucking head off and wins.
>>154754488
It should endon a cliffhanger
Ornot end at allNo matter how Miura ends it, it will be underwhelming as a result of the lo
ng runtime.
>>154754488
>>154754951
I don't see Berserk ending for at least 15 years
Am I the only one who can't root for Guts because he's acuck?
>>154754382

Reminder Miura will go back to his roots during the exploration into Casca's psyche, it was feminine for elfheim only, remember this.
>>154752502
Okay griffith, you fuck
Is casca still retarded or did the elves fix her yet
>>154754488
I thought the Idea of Evil got retconned.

>>154752699

it's the way he screamed in agony in the final moments of the last episode of the 97 anime that really drove it home for me...

Besides young Guts, mostly because I really liked that chapter

>No more Carrie "Suck my Cock" Keranen as Casca.
Well, this dub is going to be shit...
>Wendee Lee as Luca.
Okay, I'll give it a chance.What's really sad is that Diraison really wanted to voice Guts again. He was very disappointed that he wasn't called in to audition.
>>154749617
The jaw of a manly man
>>154754488
Here's what I'm hoping for:
Griffith to be completely humiliated and exposed
Griffith to return to his Husk state, and not be killed.
Casca to become unretarded
SkullKnight's back story to be completely explained
Moonlight boy to become a "Real boy" and return to casca
Guts to do the right thing and MarrySLAN!!! and live happily ever after
is this the edgy kirito?

It's a Berserk thread. They're more like outposts of /v/ than part of /a/, especially after the 2016 anime and with S2 coming up.
>>154749224
Literally everything wrong with Berserk in one image.
>>154761497
Puck is alright, he's given too much screentime though
>>154761300
Well, I mean parts do get that goofy, and more often than ever before, but for the most part Fantasia has been tolerable. We're just all hoping for Miura to deliver on the last page, which alluded to Schierke and Farnese experiencing the exclipse
>>154750441
He could have thought he was a shadow or something else
>>154761912
>Demigod who is playing 10D chess mistakes one of his servants and an old comrade for a shadow
>>154761912
Absolutely impossible. Also Its unlikely that Griffith send his lackeys (at least not directly), they did it on their own and Griffith being Griffith knew that would happen.

The BotH translations are really bad, they're the ones who did this and the "that's my Griffith"
>>154774416
She can't die (or do a major shift in her character) soon enough.
>>154775024
Nigga hold the fuck up..
"That's my Griffith"..
That was NOT just an /a/ edit?! They seriously thought that was a decent translation?
>>154776042
BotH is shitty don't get me wrong, but they didn't do the "my Griffith", this is their translation
Honest question here..
Who is the "leader" of the God Hand members? Void or Femto?
Void is obviously the oldest, but Femto/Neo-Griffith seems pretty powerful/importantDo you think Femto will betray the other members and "soar to ever greater heights", basically becoming the Idea of Evil itself?It would be pretty weird for Miura to add that line if he wasn't planning something big. What could be bigger than 1-upping his peers?

>>154777482
Yeah.
But i feel like Void should outplay Femto, just like Skull Knight would outplay Guts.
>>154748326
I know the manga earlier but I always think of the movie 300 whenever I read those chapters.

>>154762280
>Corkus was 20 during Golden Age
>Pippin was 19
>Rickert is only 5 years younger than Guts
>Schierke is in her teens
this makes no sense
>>154778716
I think you're forgetting that Rickhert is a veteran.
I just realized I'm the same age as Guts but nowhere near as /fit/.
Would having my girlfriend raped help me gain some mass?
>>154778910
Guts was ripped before that.
You know what needs to be done.
>>154776325
Well, answer me this: how many of the God Hand bother to come down to Earth to do anything at any time besides Griffith?
Slan tries to fuck\kill Guts while she possesses some flying intestines, but that's it.
With their power they could do whatever, but Griffith is the only one who still holds "human" ambition. So what you're saying isn't that much far fetched.
>>154778910
Having a black cock up your ass can't be THAT painful, maybe you'll actually like it. I second this anon's >>154778948 suggestion, and would like to implore you to perhaps send us pictures if it worked or not.

>>154779453
>Griffith will never sacrifice you to the God Hand
>>154779470
That would be the ultimate jumpshark, but I would love it if Donovan used a Behelit after Guts stabbed him and left and became an apostle.
>>154779453
>>154752649
No idea. Distributors fault. Guts and Casca's VA were on Fate/Zero so it's not like they are unavailable.
>>154779183Puckuses the crimson behelit, sacrifice everyone in the JRPG party, kills everyone of the godhand and becomes the benevolent god of the new world, who just leaves humanity the fuck alone.
>>154755255
At this pace sure
According to Goku, Crunchyroll have made some bad decisions by fucking over the original Berserk voice cast.
>>154755259
If your girlfriend gets raped you're not a cuck.
If your girflriend willingly fucks another person, then you're a cuck.
But even then Guts and Caska weren't actually a couple or anything. They had feelings for each other and had the time to fuck only once, 40 minutes later the Eclipse happened.
So you can root for him all you want.
I'm not inclined to root for someone who took black dick tho, but you do you.
>>154754951
The fact that the progression is so slow it's mainly because Miura never had any fucking clue on how to end it to begin with, and probably didn't expect his creation to have this big of an impact.
Imagine you make the pilot to a TV series, but then that pilot instantly becomes a classic and people start taking inspiration from it to make their own stuff all over the world.
How do you end a series your fans care so much about? Your success might have been accidental, maybe you didn't even want this to be your "big project".
>>154776325
Void seems to be the leader still, but cinsuder that they all follow the flow of causality dictated by the Idea of Evil. And Griffith having the idea inside him might s¿mean something.
>half of Berserk doujins is yaoi
I didn't ask for this.
>>154780527
What did you expect? Fujoshits love these kind of relationship.
>>154780527
Did you really not see that coming 20 fucking years ago?
>>154776325
Void is the leader but Griffith is the most important. He is the child of prophecy that they were all waiting for. Void just does what causality wants.
>>154780527
what's the other half?
Power level wise, there's nothing guts can do aside from using the crimson behelit to even touch femto. Skull knight couldn't even do shit to Griffith. So whatever happens it's going to be either guts sacrificing the party, some giant asspull to put them both in par, or he just eats it without putting up a fight

Doesn't matter, he still fucked her and was her husbando before someone turned him into a skele.
>>154781539
Griffith was totally gay for Guts, that was kinda obvious.
But Guts always saw Griffith as a friend and wanted Casca to come with him in his journey for whatever he wanted to do.
Berserk is the story of a fuccboi who was friendzoned.
>>154781138
Skull Knight didn't do shit to Griffith because he was part of the causality flow. He need not to be part of his masterplan.
Also i love the face SK and Zodd make here.

It's a single chapter, isn't it? I don't think the un-retardation deus ex will finish by the end of it even assuming it won't be another flashback or pajeet chapter.
I hope Schierke and Farnese get permanently fucked up.
>>154783800don't scare me like that
>>154754100
You know that there's been no rape since the trolls, right?
>>154757352
He looks like an Asian version of Tommy Wiseau.
>>154783912
Come on, son. It's obvious it won't be a Casca chapter, that would ruin the flow, Miura wants you on the edge of your seat.
Better come to terms with it now
>>154784304
>>154784062
You know there's been no rape since Donovan, right?
t. clueless golden age reader right before Wyatt/the eclipse
If it hasn't shown its face for a while you know it's just preparing to go back at ramming speed.
>>154784452
What about the trolls
>>154784496
Not rape, you know xD

Not the trolls, rape in general.

>>154780271

Literally everything after it feels like an afterthought
>>154784637
How does a man that is known worldwide, with one of, if not THE most popular mangas under his belt, manage to have like 2 or 3 pictures of his face on the internet?
>>154783699
na, i gave it at least 2 chapters, so 3 years seems likely

>>154784923
Well, we're getting at least 4 chapters this year
>>154784790
Japs don't have cults of personality like we have in the west, where authors become celebrities and never have time again to continue their books.
I mostly prefer it that way, but I admit I wish he made at least ONE fucking interview at least for the release of the new anime.
>>154785053
He did 2 interviews last year

>even provided the links
t-thanks anon, I don't deserve such effort. The interview in the crunchyroll links I'd already read before but I thought it was older for some reason.
Someone should throw that editor off a cliff.
>>154784790
Probably because he never leaves home, playing the new idolmaster.
Talking more seriously, maybe it's because he just doesn't like to be in the media, also there are not many photos of masashi kishimoto or eichiro oda, not even akira toriyama, from my point of view the photos of the author aren't within the culture of mangaka , But also it's necessary to agree that miura exaggerates too much with that of maintaining a low profile.
>>154783800
I swear, if it's true, I'll kill Miura, then I'll kill you.
>>154785316
Torishima: From an editorial standpoint, you could say that Mori-sensei was the kind of person who was born to write I-Novels, like Dazai Osamu. Those kinds of people are very magnetic in their teens. I bet he seemed awesome to you, didn’t he?
Miura: He did. It actually made it hard to be normal friends with him. He was so awesome that if I didn’t stay away from him, he would dwarf me. I didn’t like my options, so I fought back the only way I could, which was to keep working on manga.
Torishima: So you tried to compete with him in manga skill. And he was so awesome that you clenched your teeth and stood by his side despite it all.
Miura: He was awesome, and it was difficult for me.
Torishima: Sounds like Guts and Griffith.
Miura: That was actually the inspiration. But sometimes I would be Guts, and sometimes I would be Griffith. It’s probably something that happens a lot in guys’ relationships.
>>154774013
The PS2 game looked better than that.
>>154785316
>What's more, around the time when the Eclipse happened, the comic's popularity among readers dropped drastically (laughs). There was a lot of angry readers saying "What did you just do?!" after getting to like the characters
kek. How come they didn't see that coming though?
>>154785795
No bully the messenger
Miura: Personally, I write for “someone who is like me.” I don’t think my manga can be appreciated by anyone beyond those people who share my sensibilities. I want to write for the people who are like who I was during high school.
Torishima: Also, you don’t need to do backgrounds.
Miura: I feel that way sometimes, too (laugh).
......................
Miura: I have to agree. I’ll start making an effort, beginning with my current manuscript. I’ve been making manga all this time without ever changing my style. I think I’m beginning to outgrow it.
>>154762280
>Romanized name: Griffith
>Age: 24
>Height: 178cm - 5'10"
Manlets, when will they learn.
Torishima > Idolm@ster
>I made my manga pals from high school into mercenaries, as "a group of men acting with a certain goal in mind". They were doing great and I was happy for them, but this story arc was made to explain Guts' motivation for revenge, so I was like "I made this many great characters and now they're all gonna die!" (laughs).
Dude has issues.
>>154762280
Guts is 6'8"? I know he's a big guy (for me) but he doesn't seem to be THAT much taller than everyone else. He's definitely not a foot taller than Griffith.
>>154785316
The guidebook interview makes Miura look like an adorable ojiisan to me.
Since the beginning he took inspiration from disney and some fairy tales; he always liked shoujo manga and he said he couldn't stomach the story without something more light and cute like Puck.
I wonder what drawing the eclipse felt like to him.
>>154786883
>he always liked shoujo manga
The prototype really shows this.
>>154786798
>>154786883
In a past interview he did say that he considers Berserk to be a shoujo manga. His explanation was that in shoujo manga emotion leads to logic whereas the opposite is true for shounen manga.
>>154786972
we're back to volumes now?
Guise I'm willing to bet that half this next chapter will be Puck Comic relief, with only a slight tease of fixing Casca at the end.
>>154787509
Puck's in jail
>>154787554
No, he's doing comunity service.
>>154787554
I miss non-chesnut Puck.
>>154787554
He can do comedy relief in jail with a reincarnated Donovan Elf
>>154748434
According to Miura's editor, the ending has been on paper since 2011.
>>154786883
>I wonder what drawing the eclipse felt like to him.
I mean, its clear he's not shy about liking boobs. 6+ pages of Caska fanservice helped him
the question is, was the friend Caska is based off weirded out or what
>>154787834
>editor received an envelope with Berserk's end inside
>Miura dies
>editor opens the letter so that the fans can at least know how the saga would have finished
>the letter is empty
>>154784726
Well deserved. He absolutely nailed Noctis' performance.
>>154762280
Wait, since when are Griffith, Guts and Casca all the same age? Pretty sure Griffith was supposed to be about two years older than both of them.
>>154786564
What?
>>154786197
>I want to write for the people who are like who I was during high school.
This might explain why his motivation's flagging as he passes age 50.
>>154784637

Pretty much
>>154784728
>~90-chapter-long arc that he's admitted he made up crucial parts of as he went
> supposed to be a short story release
Clearly not.
Anyone know what ethnicity guts would be?
Casca is clearly Sicilian or from some dark southern European part.
Griffith is from northern Europe
What about Guts? he is way taller than most southern Europeans. But has brown/black hair and brown eyes. I
Sometimes he looks a bit tan too but other times pretty white.
I thought he could be serbian or some other south slav.
>>154792335
Being alpha like that he's clearly hispanic. A true conquistador
More stuff from the guide book
>>154792492
Well when you say Hispanic I think you mean from Iberia. He could be yes but Spanish people are not that tall as Guts is
>>154792636
How come Ivarela can stand more than Puck?
Also witch might know a lot of shit but Serpico being below her seems weird.
>>154792636
>you have to be literally retarded to have less brainpower than Puck
Someone plz remake the anime in SFM with the models from the game. I can't handle the anime anymore lmao
>>154792636
>Serpico is stronger than Roderick
Serpico always struck me as a pure DEX build, Guts as a STR focused build with some DEX, and Roderick as DEX/STR
>>154793138
>with some DEX
Guts is broken as far as humans go, remember he's insanely strong and skilled.
>>154792636
Puck is shit tier
>>154793138
Guts is DeviantArt OC-tier in terms of abilities
>>154795876
>>154795876
new chapter?
>>154796197
He didn't like his friends THAT much
>>154762280
>older than Guts
>>154796343
Look on the bright side. Did you ever had all of your friends slaughtered by monsters because of your previously best friend's betrayal? No? See, you are better off than Guts.

Whatever, I always put a lot of points on CHA because I wanted people to like me at least inside these RPGs I played.
>>154762280
>guts is the same age as me
>>154758260
The original vol 1 cover is so fucking cool with how the top displays a badass pose with heavy contrast created by his cape and the bottom background. Why did they decide to change it? The watermark is fucking shitty and a calm, ugly looking Guts doesn't fit berserk at all.
>>154762280
Are the ages listed for around the golden age arc are the current point in the manga cause I think there's ale east a 2 year difference between those two points by now
>>154797782
iirc it's because the company changed their name
Berserk has a consistent god tier artsyle.
But even the greatest artists makes mistakes.
What are some of the WORST panels in Berserk, where things like scale, anatomy or perspective is way off?Hard mode: No digital drawings
>>154797917
Current point, and I think it's been like 3 years since the eclipse, the 2-year point was the start of the conviction arc
>>154797782
>ugly looking Guts
Guts has never been more handsome than he is in that pic
Wasn't there a chapter scheduled for this week?
>>154798212
The 24th
>>154798072
I would say during the Black Swordsman arc, though the latest chapter had the worst art in the series, imo
>>154798112
that makes a bit more sense since that would make Guts, Griffith, and Casca around 21-22 during the eclipse and I'm guessing the ages for Judo, Carcus, and Pippin are how old they where when they died and Rickert would off been around 16-17
Deviantart didn't even spare Berserk, here's Femto Shadow the Hedgehog
>>154798475
It doesn't really make much sense to me desu, I don't think they put much thought into it because Guts is 15 when he joined the BotH then there's a 3-year time skip then I don't know how much more time passes between then and when he leaves for a year
Are you guys ready for spoilers in a few days? Are you ready to experience everything all over again but from Casca's POV?
>New berserk chapter soon

>>154774416
I wonder how Farnese and Sheirke are going to react when they officially find out that Guts and Casca are fuck buddies.

>Ends with Past-Griffith noticing their astral presence
>Because fuck the laws of reality
>>154798946
>experience everything all over again but from Casca's POV
>>154798946
After waiting this long you're willing to have spoilers just lay the chapter out for you? I'd want to avoid them if possible.
>>154799601
That would be especially impressive considering it's past IMAGINARY Griffith.
>>154799478
Farnese will probably kill herself
>>154799767
I want to avoid them too.
But knowing this board the spoilers will be in the OP in all caps.
>>154799896

Before being raped by Femto, she was already been raped multiple times by the other apostles right?
wew.
>>154800097
>>154800158
Yeah that was the panel I was thinking.
I guess now it's make or break and we'll find out if Miura still got his edge.
>>154799936
I don't think her watching Guts hack off his own arm with a blunt sword stub is going to help relieve this particular issue.

Dude grabbed a slash, like the metaphysical concept of a slash, out of the fucking air and was all like,
>Yeah I'll put this over here instead
>>154799896
Farnese will meltdown, this is almost guaranteed. She'll probably start trying to burn Casca and Sheirke before the power of friendship kicks in and Farnese has a major character growth moment.
>Skipping this
Truly the anime is deplorable.
>>154799909
filter "Berserk", "Guts", "Eclipse" and "Casca" subjects and comments until it's out.If you want to be more thorough than you can also try filtering words like "spoil", "chapter" and "happening".
The best course, naturally, is to avoid the site the from now until you read it in or around the 24th, but depending on your use of this site you may struggle with that.
>>154759217
>What's really sad is that Diraison really wanted to voice Guts again. He was very disappointed that he wasn't called in to audition.

>>154801349
Is this the best OST of any anime?
>>154759217
they'll probably pull an initial D and redub
>>154798701
I was mainly talking about the ages of the other BotH members but concerning Guts yeah its still messy since he should of been 19 during the eclipse unless the months he spend after the 3 year time skip yet before him leaving for a year was enough to slightly put him at 20 (I doubt he was exactly 15 when he joined) and maybe more time has passed from the eclipse to the island then we've realized.
>>154779944
How so?
>>154747578
What the fuck is up with his lips?
>>154800439

>>154781539
>>154781691
Griffith never denied it
>>154800158
I thought she wasn't really raped until Femto put his dick inside, seeing Casca almost got penetrated by a shard dick before that, r-right ?
I'm new to Berserk, where do I start?
>>154810805
Read the manga, then watch the 97 anime, and maybe the movies
>>154749078
>>154809813
>>154810805
Get all the manga volumes, write down the numbers and put them in a hat, and then start reading in whatever order you pulled them out
>>154810805
watch the moves or anime, than read from post-Eclipse.
>tfw just want to see Lost Children arc animated
>>154801075
>>154799896
>>154799478
Farnese will probably get jealous and try to sabotage Cascas rescue. If you look at past issues you see her with an anxious face anytime her memory is mentioned. Her whole character development revolves around her moving her faith on to Guts and seeing Casca's memories of her and Guts together will push her character development to its peak.
>>154792636
I comletely forgot who Azan is and spent several minutes thinking Adon Koborlwitz is the second toughest guy in the series.
>>154812129
He has to be pretty strong, though. He wears full plate armor and twirls a trident around like a toothpick. Issue is, he's dumb as fuck and underestimates everything.
>>154810805
Don't watch any of the anime, if you want to see swordfighting with good animation you wont. 97 anime abuses stillshots and speedlines, new series is all about very bad 3D, the movie trilogy skips too many scenes so it's just the barebones retelling. Only watch the anime when you're like "I need MORE Berserk".
I just hope Schierke and Farnese get raped by the God Hand so Guts can leave them off the island and get rid of his shitty harem.
My wife Farnese is so cute
>>154810092
He couldn't. But unfortunately for everyone involved, Guts was a dense harem protagonist.
>>154812307
He's also a major coward
>>154812612
I don't share that sentiment but if at least Ubik doesn't notice them and say something along the lines of "Ah, I see we have some unexpected guests" I'll bite my ear off
>>154812866
I don't remember this, was it when godhand appeared to Griffith calling him a "blessed king of longing"?
>>154813163
I want to say it was when he was in the jail cell before being rescued. Havent read it in a while though.

Shit arcs get shit adaptations, that's the way of the world.

"I'ma bite you, motherfucker! RAAAH I don't like you."
>>154817944
Guts probably would have fucked up everyone until Griffith stepped in and either said fuck off or killed him there
The only way for Guts to have not been in the Band is if Griffis had no homolust for him, which is impossible

I heard it was written by Muira

Maybe you should acquire some taste, Hawk of the Millenium Empire is literally the best arc in Berserk

I think you're confusing it with the DC game.Both are good.
>>154818307
I heard both were written by Muira, the dreamcast game looks like garbage, I'd rather watch the cutscenes on youtube if the story is halfway decent
>>154818242
That's the DC game(which takes place between volume 22 and 23)

Is it worse than squeezing Namek into 12 episodes?

>What's really sad is that Diraison really wanted to voice Guts again. He was very disappointed that he wasn't called in to audition.
Where does he say that?
>>154816583
The fucking Dreamcast game looked better.
>>154801892
Kinda like how Dragon Ball Super has two English dubs?
>>154818492
The FotM arc in the manga starts at volume 22 and ends at the first chapter of volume 35

And then what? Wait half a year for another chapter? How can Miura even get away with this kind of bullshit?
>>154761497
Agreed. Scheirke let too many faggots in.

Wow that's longer than Namek which is 9 volumes.

I'm glad it is how it is.
That way he speaks through his work and art, so I can continue to respect that person.
In the west everyone has outed himself as a mouth breathing, degenerate retard.
I've lost respect for so many writers, artists, musicians, actors, directors etc. it's not even funny anymore.
Social media was the biggest mistake of the 21 century.
>>154818889
You need to do the difference between the artist and its work. A cunt can produce a fine work that is actually better than himself, and it's stupid to close yourself to some pieces of art just because you don't like the artist

>The anime will never look like this
Why even live brosI'm not asking it to look THAT good, but at least better than CG land
>>154819440
I just wanted Jojo level, at least they know how to hide their filthy use of CGI
On the one hand I was glad we weren't getting y et another golden age adaptation but now I realise they won't adapt these arcs for another 10 years because now it's "too recent"
The good anime had a fucked budget too, what ever happened to panning around still frames?
That was fine, we got some nice art and real animation no one likes this cheap ass drawn on CGI bullshit
We are getting a Guts x Casa x Farnese threesome after Casca healing.
>>154819401
She already saw the eclipse through Guts's back.

>>154821288

Apostles are not magically turned evil, power corrupts etc
See the count who refused to sacrifice his daughter to safe his own life after nearly being killed by Guts and summoning the Godhand
>>154821508
>>154821553
What a fucking cunt
>>154782374
I will never not laugh at SKs face after he realizes he fucked up trying to kill femto
>>154821553
Griffith did nothing wrong.
>>154821553
Berserk gives this vibe, of two stand-alone stories with their respective MC's running into each and shit happening due to that.
>>154821508
>People still think the eclipse corrupted Griffith instead of Griffith embracing his inner evil and dark impulses
Well I didn't mean they snapped their fingers and he became the devil, but they did keikaku it
>>154821508
>evil
There's no such a thing as an actual evil in both fictional world of Berserk and the 3d realm + time.
>>154821914
The eclipse changed nothing for Griffith, he always was like that.
>>154821553
>in the dungeon
>"you're bond is the only thing keeping me alive and my dream looks like junk"
>now that he's a flashy new god
>"you should have known"
He's such a tool.
>>154821978
They usually always target people with dangerous personalities. Don't get me wrong, acknowledging Griffith having a bond to someone doesn't mean I thing he's a good person at all. Does no one remember the time he smiled at the news of Gut's killing that kid back in Golden Age? Griffith's been doing wrong for years
>>154821508
The Count's situation was different then. People with behelits are called to sacrifice what they care about the most ("part of your very soul") and that works if the subject of their affection is also the source of their despair. That's what happened to the Count during his first sacrifice. But during the second summoning, his daughter's existence had nothing to do with his torment and hence he could not sacrifice her.
It has nothing to do with evil and everything with the momentary mental state of the person.
>>154821978
No. He had the potential, but there were things he could not toss, like Guts or the band of the Hawk. After being encouraged by Guts and experiencing despair, he decided to toss everything.
>>154822454
So it's Guts fault that the world went to shit and all his comrades are in hell now.
Guts' presence really is a bad omen
>>154821553
To be fair, this is the image Griffith always wanted to project, but not what he actually used to be like. The manga explicitly says that the indifferent image he had did not match his real self. It's what he wanted to be and what people saw him as, but it wasn't the real him.
>>154819401
You knew what sort of character she'd be upon introduction.
>>154822685
Would Guts link the fire or let it fade?
>>154822721
Hell, here Guts almost realizes that it was him who unwittingly broke Griffith for good.
>>154762280
This info is pure garbage.
>mfw Casca's rape is retconed into being an illusion created by Femto to make Guts' hate strong enough for him to survive
>mfw Griffith redemption ending
>>154821937
Evil is a conflict of interest.
>>154821553
Fuck he's pretty.
DINDU NUFFIN WRONG.

>Miura: In Berserk, there was a particular order in which the characters would be complete. “Black Swordsman” Guts was the first thing I was set on. At the time, I didn’t have any idea what his backstory would be.
He had no idea about Griffith and the Eclipse and anything like that, when he started writing it and only came up with the best part of teh story because he needed a background? o_o
>>154825142
Doesn't that give you hope that he's going to wrap the story in the most amazing and mind blowing possible way?
The guy's a natural.
