That would be nice but a lot of idiots read it for the edgy shit. It's why some faggots dont like the current direction.

I personally read it for the setting and Guts.

>Projecting this hard

Not really, I used to like Berserk because of the interesting relationship between Guts and Griffith, it really got boring after the Eclipse.

I try to emulate Guts when faced with hardships. It helps. I don't know if you can call that projection, but struggling is often the way I make sense of what I do and the imperfections of life. It soothes the mind, I guess.
I don't care about the depression though, the trials and hardships are the endearing parts for me.

>>158277106
While you are mostly right I'd say that depression is real but it shouldn't be a word because it's just thoughts. Even you have what we call depression.
Guts is his own person as he says so himself. Nobody could possibly relate to him.

No, fuck off with your pain and muh angsty shit.

I've always only read it for Griffith. As awesome as guts is, I've felt more connected to Griffith way more.

I'm also a tranny, so there's that...

>>158276396
You kind of phrased it in a half degrading way.

The story of Berserk is literally the hero archetype which has been retold and existed for as long as humans have had society. Of course it isn't original, because it's a damn meta-story. Casca is the maiden and Griffith is the dragon. Berserk just has a take where Griffith is the ultimate form of dragon because he raped Guts' maiden in front of his eyes, and betrayed his entire legion of people who had ultimate trust in him.

Guts embodies a ton of ideals that the reader would like to strive for, he's just especially focused on absolute vengeance, anger, and determination to not back down no matter what the cost. If your life has been fucked up enough, and you haven't turned into an edgy nihilistic faggot or killed yourself, this is one of the outcomes. Anger is a more powerful, energy giving emotion than fear. It's destructive in the end but at least you're fucking alive.

Getting Casca restored and whatever happens with Griffith is the final therapy to this multi-decade long psychological struggle.

Nah I like Berserk for its characterisation and fucked up sense of humour. And its massive thematic scope and focus

The bit where Griffith blows on the leaf with Princess Charlotte is the essence of what makes Berserk so good, for me.

Berserk went to shit during the Mozgus arc.
I blame Ishidoro and the other characters that are introduced after him.

>>158282786
There are a lot of good things about that arc but it's a little bit muddled overall, I think, and it starts to feel like its repeating itself (which I guess is the point, in a way). Its the first part of the story that really nails and epitomizes Berserk's humour, though.

The arc afterwards gets things back on track imo

>>158276396
Guts is almost never depressed. The only scenes I can think of where he is depressed would be right after he kills Gambino and when Griffith says no one is his equal and thus his friend, but he deals with these things with anger, which I don't think is relatable to many.

Gambino stumbling into the tent drunk was interesting though. I've had physical fights with my drunk father before, which I regret my stupidity over.

Isidro and Puck saved Casca from burning alive when Guts couldn't be in time. I believe that's good enough to at least give him some credit, he is just a kid after all, and can do a lot more than other grown up men.

But even if you don't like Isidro, the Conviction arc is one hell of an arc and has some of the most memorable quotes in the entire manga too, can't see why anyone would dislike it.

Guts is no hero nor he has any great ideals, he is a fucking normal, average human being who just so happens to be a damn good swordsman. Nothing else. Actually, he isn't that good of a guy himself.

Guts isn't exactly a hero but he's still a good person considering what he lived. Like, who'd have done as well as him if they were in his shoes? Maybe Rickert, Judeau, Luka.. Flora? That's all the persons I can think of.

Keep in mind that the only other Eclipse survivor had to turn potato mode on to cope with the trauma.

The story might not be original but the development is, and the art is god-tier. Nothing feels out of place, like it's just there to fill space. It's a great story about universal topics, like redemption, survival, greed, pride, fate, luck and love.

I don't self-insert as anyone, but Griffith made me see how being too ambitious can be dangerous.

Griffith's downfall wasn't entirely because of his ambition. Guts going away showed him he didn't own him, didn't had any control over him, and for the first time someone just wasn't an expendable tool for him to discard whenever he felt was necessary. He couldn't control a single person's actions, losing someone important to him and being unable to do anything for the first time in his life drove him insane. He's used to people worshiping him and being able to do whatever he wants with them, Guts slapped him hard without even knowing it.

>>158289112
But that's why their relationship was special, Griffith would never sacrifice Guts (and that's the only sacrifice that mattered) if he wasn't fucked up

Berserk has a lot going for it. Relating it to our everyday life struggles is just one of them.

It has darkness, but also a lot of light. It has a lot of research and care put into it as well. It deserves its recognition.

I'm currently reading through this shit and it was fucking great until the Mozguz arc ended. Right afterwards Griffith comes back, 4 boss apostles show up from fucking NOWHERE ONE AFTER THE OTHER IN THE MOST GOOFY MANNER IMAGINABLE asking to join his army. And now this fucking LOLI WITCH shows up and they help her rid some random fucking village from trolls and a water magic wielding horse frog and there's fucking magic everywhere and WOW SERPICO YOU'RE SO GOOD AT USING WIND ELEMENTAL MAGIC WOAH and Farnese, who was the most interesting and well developed side character by far has been reduced to a non-character at this point. Guts is acting more nice and human than ever despite knowing that his lifelong bloodsworn nemesis is flying around in his other nemesis' back after promising to conquer his own kingdom. And then after they get rid of the trolls with [magic] and Guts is rescued by Skull Knight blowjobbing his sword into a portal gun, they return only to face the Apostle army and Guts is like NO WAY ZODD ARE YOU SIDING WITH GRIFFITH I COMPLETELY FORGOT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED 20 CHAPTERS AGO AND NOW WOW DRAGONSLAYER HAS BEEN FORGED INTO A MAGIC SWORD FROM ALL THE DEMON BLOOD AND WOAH TAKE THIS MAGIC ARMOR VERY WELL GUTS NOW LET THIS MAGIC WITCH MAGIC YOU OUT OF YOUR MAGIC TRANCE THAT YOU GET FROM WEARING THE MAGIC ARMOR THAT GIVER YOU ASFÇASFAS AMGIC ASRNMAISASNIDODAND SADASDMOASDASIPPAIFNNKAGSÇKFAS

>>158293052
>blowjobbing it into a portal gun.
Couldnt say it any better way. It does remind me of those guys who deepthroat swords for a hobby.

>>158293052
Not really. The story got too congested with all the supernatural elements it introduced. How is a man supposed to beat a literal god? Well, you gotta give his sword magic, then give him magic armor, and then ground the supernatural realm into reality as the "astral plane". It's all an excuse to get Guts on an equal playing field with Griffith.

There are cool elements to the story (how Berserker armor works, Skull Knight, Casca's memories, etc), but it's all pretty much downhill from the Golden Age arc.

Honestly I think the story told by the 90s anime sans the 1st episode was perfect. It sets Berserk more as a Lovecraftian horror tragedy. Past that, it turns more and more into an adventure shounen.

Then Casca accidentally drops a torch down the center of the stairwell and it illuminates various things along the way down, including this.

I'm not saying that Gaiseric (Skull Knight)/Void are related to the sacrifices in this picture, but they sure look like they're from some eclipse. I guess this doesn't really bring up anything new but I just wonder how those skulls got there.

What I like about Berserk is that it justifies the supernatural/fantasy stuff as a thematic thing rather than for its own sake. It's about human desire and/or fear of the unknown, and I think the last arc did that idea justice, particularly with the Griff/Ganiska battle.

>>158289047
Not really. She's a monster just like the rest of them. She gets off on the suffering of humans just as much as any other apostle. In fact, I'd argue she's even worse than your usual apostle because she explicitly targets children.

Yes, he killed hundreds of people. IN FUCKING WAR. It's what he's supposed to do. He didn't kill because he liked it, he didn't kill without need, he did it because he is a soldier.
I'm not saying he's an immaculate hero as other Anons seem to imply, but he's just a guy trying to find his way in an extremely violent environment where the weak usually perish.

Of course, Miura's message all along is "go defend Japan against mythological beasts".

never saw myself as guts

you remember the edgy things early times of internet? its kinda like that. i could tell you the whole truth but i hate your guts cause you are stupid as fuck

Why are moralfags complaining about darkness in my dark fantasy manga?

>>158311874
First is Guts' biggest sin but the responsability is mostly on Griffith. Second isnt that bad, especially in a ruthless world like Berserk.

Does anyone have a high res pic of the giant tree the leader of the kushin changed into?
I'm talking about the double page one

Was Wyald the best character in the series?

episode 22 was bretty guud. I hate how it's mostly cgi now though, cgi should be used less than actually hand drawn animation if you want to combine them.

>>158312727
Problem is that this is a CG studio, which makes their incompetence even more embarrassing.

>>158312774
Is their budget known?
Only if their budget was like 10x smaller than normal, I would forgive the horrid cgi

also depression is just a meme

you don't call something a word that is used to describe the feeling of the thing in science land

if you are feeling like poop then start looking at your diet and start exercising - if you still feel like dogshit after a year of living life how its meant to be lived then maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe you have an issue

>>158312774
the only thing that really annoyed is how it's a cgi and animation show but the way they handle it is pretty bad. Especially when some characters are cgi and others are animated in the same scene.

There's too many things wrong with this post for me to point them out

>>158311874
That dude was a piece of shit and nearly killed Griffith already. It's true, Guts went full retard in slaughtering everyone else, but the assassination was just

>>158313947
This, it was unfortunate that Guts was spotted but the count had it coming.

>>158286494
>Actually, he isn't that good of a guy himself.
Some people might forget that he murdered an innocent child before, he pretty much deserves hell at this point

>>158314756
It was an accident to be fair but yeah it wouldn't have been sad if Guts was killed that night.

>>158315206
>rams his sword through chest cavity
>"accident"

>>158315206
It was not an accident, his victim was just the wrong age.

>>158313947
>>158315206
>>158311874
I don't get why Guts didn't just shoot him through the window with a crossbow and leave instead of massacring like 30 people with his sword

>>158315286
Calling it an accident is wrong, but it was unplanned. While Guts (at the time) would still be willing to kill an adult (he would probably hate it especially if it was not a soldier), he would never have killed a kid. That's still enough for a death sentence case and Guts' lowest point.

>>158315987
It is an accident purely because it's implied that guts noticed it was a kid just before impaling him, he probably wouldn't have done it otherwise.

The darkness of the room didn't allow him to see properly.

>>158315701
Because Guts isn't an assassin, he's a solider. He's a man who is more comfortable swinging his sword around and being face to face with his enemies. He's not a sneak who hides in the shadows and shoots his opponent from afar.

I'm on chapter 5 of the PS2 game, so far it's breddy good. Gameplay is a bit repetitive, though.

>>158316076
it was an accident that he killed a kid. He still intended to murder someone that he had no way of knowing whether they were innocent. Only person that had a just reason to be killed was the count and yet guts just went and killed 30 men and a child, because a man he followed told him to do it.

>>158316566
The other soldiers was because he was found out. I'd not call it an accident because this implies a coincidence (and Guts was murdering someone so he could or should have expected something like that to happen). Involuntary homicide should be the correct way to put it

>>158276396
wow I have never looked at it from that perspective. But you do make a good point

Twitter "gifs" aren't "gifs" at all.

>>158319494

>>158277385
>it's just thoughts
It's brain chemistry and structure, read a scientific article sometime.

>>158319548
They're video files. They just call them "gifs" because they're "moving images".

That's like calling your 700mb anime .mkv videos "gifs".

>>158319605
that's why i got an MP4 when I tried saving one of these? And I couldn't even do it by right clicking, had to inspect the element

I'm reading through Berserk but I'm not even through the golden age arc. Had a theory based on what I've been spoiled though.

Could it be that demons like Zodd came from another eclipse and that there was a time where there weren't any demons?

>>158319782
Twitter is Jewish as fuck and proprietary of everything you upload there. That's why it's so hard to save the "gifs" they have. They used to have saveable .gifs before, but they scrapped it.

Did episode 22 air already?

so guts was 6'3 but the berserker armor turned him 6'8? What is the real life equivalent to this?

>>158322970
Using heels?

>>158319069
Then how would we know he's super tired?

>>158320267
Fuck off, retard.

>>158322970
I don't know where it's stated that Guts is 6'3", but the databook definitively had him stated as 6'8".

He doesn't look that tall to me either.

>>158323064
I thought it was more him getting stretched out by the bone snapping and tightening

>>158315701
I don't get why Griffith sent Guts of all people. Should've sent Judeau. Guts is a berserker, armor or no, he was bound to make a mess of the job. If you ask me, he got away with it easily

>>158323871
Griffith didn't want the others to see his "dirty side". And that Guts was rough enough to understand so it's okay if it was him.
Griffith said this when he killed the queen, but it's probably the same reason here.
