I really wish Berserk had stayed more to the dark medieval/grimdark

>>162282358
Miura is in his Fifties now, you can't expect him to remain an edgy twenty-something forever.
Besides, the manga isn't even over yet. Be patient.

>>162283570
Berserk had quite a lot of rape in the old days, but it was never really constant

What the hell happened to Europeans back then? Did they get invaded by an army of rapist manlets or something

I dunno, a lot of people dug the protagonist and his one-track mind

>>162284604
Yes, the goblin protagonists and their one track rape filled mind.

>>162283688
Goblin Slayer is less than ten chapters in (translations, at least), so I don't know why you're using it as an objection to "it would get old" compared to a series that did that for well over a hundred chapters.

The only reason I'm reading GS is to see the ladies get gob'd. Don't care about the protagonist, don't care about the characters etc

I must say that it's delivering, I especially likes the rape monologue thing the goblin king had this latest chapter

Still has more rape than GS. They're on a elf island with non-violent creatures, of course there is less rape going on. If you're only reading Berserk for the rape, then just read rape doujins

They are currently roaming the internal mindscape of a woman raped to insanity, where penis monsters are a threat and her lover is represented by a 3 legged mutilated doberman constantly pierced by arrows and forced to bear her shattered doll-corpse. Still pretty grimdark

Fuck off. In the end, it is fantasy. There was a freaking elf in the first chapter and his group is getting stronger. He doesn't need to fight demons every single day. It is still dark when it needs to be.

1000 years ago the concept of rape didn't even exist. it was either you fucked a woman that belonged to someone of higher status = dead, or you fucked a woman who didn't = nobody cared

even their religions had rape-obsessed gods

The real problems with Berserk all lead back to Isidro surviving the arc he was introduced. Hes a redundant comic relief sidekick when that role was already filled by puck, and hes a jobber shonenshitter in a setting where such an archetype should have died in a ditch without anyone knowing his name. Plus hes annoying as fuck.

isidro and schierke and the antics and all that are symptoms of the root issue: miura stopped wanting to make it all about the exploration of guts' character and journey; he wanted to expand out a little and show off his world some more. He was probably tired of the relentless darkness and struggle.

I rather liked her when she was a sadistic fuck, and even her transition into a useless screw-up.
But they seem to have just papered over her earlier cruelty overtime and sort of depict her as a bit of a woobie

The manga would have been too edgy for its own good if he wasn't included. Especially with how Guts was back then, we needed a more light-hearted character for him to play off of to get a better understanding of who he is.

It's certainly not because the setting is consistent or interesting that's for sure. Honestly, the spinoff starting off with more rape just proves you can't sell Goblin Slayer without it.

>>162305443
Mongols sent scouts to fucking Venice and the mongol empire bordered Central Europe, dude. They halted their advance because Gengis died.

>>162299130
So if a fem goblin forced your shaft into her anus then a kind warrior saved you and never spoke a word about it to anyone, the immediate action you should do is either force yourself to never touch another woman let alone marry someone or kill yourself because you were previously defiled?

Do you think people who pick up dog shit shouldn't ever touch anything ever again or did you just forget that people can ways themselves.

>>162312168
>somehow rape is needed to establish their motives
it's one of their main motivations, as its how they continue their species

Oh there's a justification for it in the text. But I can't help but notice that both manga series pay far more attention to that aspect of a goblins life cycle within the light novel itself. Maybe they're trying to sell something with all this sex and violence.

Especially for year one, the only rape that was really important was Goblin Slayer sister and that one has forever remain off screen as it should be. Everything else was just garnish to draw people in.

Why do so many anons hate isidro? Can you not appreciate the character development Guts gains from mentoring a young swordsman, his own relationship with his father figure taken into account? I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate how he's currently just a vehicle for lame jokes, but I genuinely enjoyed watching isidro grow as a swordsman and learn from his mistakes
