It's a manga that's been running for 20+ years now, and it's pretty incredible. One of the things that's most interesting about it, is that the author has basically reinvented himself in his style several times throughout the series, while still keeping it true to its roots. During the first 10 volumes (referred to collectively as the "Golden Age" arc), it's basically gritty 80s style manga of purely dark medieval warfare, becoming borderlined historical fiction. but in volumes 11-12+ literally hell opens up and pours itself onto earth evil dead style but in a completely serious manner. Over the next ~5 volumes you have every bit of bad in his world corrupted and risen to full blown demonic rape-fests; corrupt priests burning everyone at the stake, packs of roving goblins kidnapping women, raping and impregnating them to make more monsters, an evil god-emporer who tries to take over the world etc. It then turns into a traditional swords/sorcery fantasy where Guts assembles a team of rag-tag heroes to destroy the five God Hands of hell, one of whom was his best friend and rival during the Golden Age.

Hey guys! What's up?

Hey Zer0!

Not a heck of a lot, watching New Dominion Tank Police which is great, not too much is airing at the moment.
You?

>>727355271
Not a whole lot, the usual shit. Decided to switch full-time to IRC/Discord - Skype is pointless when you and 911 were the only people I had it for and both of you can be reached over other, better platforms.

Sounds good, skype is pretty clunky and doesn't respect my freedom.
I'll have to keep an eye out for the stray message from Evan, though.

>>727355805
Evan is usually on Discord or Steam so log into those more (You can leave that one group if you want)

I check Discord relatively often.
Haven't been on Steam in years.
Wonder how many messages I haven't responded to.
Assuming people have messaged me ;_;

HEY it's Berserk daily! Thanks for the dump, these are fun, and thanks more for the links.

Girl with the freckles is a delightful intro.

Hey!
Yes it is, that time of the night again.
Glad you're enjoying them.

Just a heads up, that girl with the freckles is actually a boy (with freckles).
Thought I'd let you know before you fapped and then found out "It's a dude!"
It's happened to many on multiple occasions.

End of Chapter 4 Part 8 and end of dump for tonight

To lazy to look it up, does anyone know off hand when new episodes air? Also, opinion of the new animation style?

April 7th is when episode 1 of the next season airs.

I'm not a huge fan of the new animation style. going with the CG as they did is a poor choice, it looks pretty bad.
That said, they got Susumu to do the music again and it was very good in the 2016 one.
There are pacing issues, but I think they're slightly mitigated by the fact that we already know what happens. I'm excited to be getting animated parts past the Golden Age for once.
So all in all, could and should be a lot better, but I'm still enjoying it.
You?
