Technically Guyver, except for the part about the author being distracted by idoru games.

>>14804574
Gurren Lagann.

Babby's first seinen (or super robot show in GL's case) that people praise as the greatest thing ever without even looking at similar works within the medium. Both fanbases are also equally cancerous.

Iron Blooded Orphans.

Except the Boat comes before the Eclipse.

If you mean in terms of edge and the mix of bleakness with hope, then it's either Victory, Zeta, or muv-luv.

If you want something popular that's never ending then gundam

He said the Berserk of mecha, not the Goblin Slayer of mecha

>>14804585
Nice comparsion.

>>14805746
Well he did delay it for 6 years.

I'm going to put forward Thunderbolt

>more violent and seinen-y than most Gundam
>manga is still not finished and takes forever to fucking come out
>protagonist's girlfriend gets traumatized into a retard state
>religious prophecy/false messiah/etc. themes
>prosthetics kek

The main things missing in Thunderbolt are that the antagonist isn't some kind of Michael Jackson impersonator with a subtextually homo-erotic obsession with the main character.

Name some that are better/of similar quality to Berserk.

In terms of artstyle, anything /m/ by ken ishikawa (getter robo etc)

>>14805432
What other Dark western style fantasy is there? Theres Bastard and while its fun it doesn't have much depth to it

>>14805863
>Those
>Similar to Berserk
Id give you Vinland saga if it wasnt for that bullshit piss boring farm slave arc
The boat goes by pretty fast when you read it in one sitting and realise thay the slow release schedule has distorted /a/s perception of the manga's so called "tone change"

Karas.

Karas is the answer.

>>14806259
I'm not arguing that one is better than the other, I'm saying they're hardly comparable at all

>>14805863
Literally of those are entry tier as well, also Vinland Saga is definitely not better than Berserk. Vinland Saga's only good part of the flashback which doesn't even remotely approach the golden age, Berserk at least has conviction arc. Also no point in reading Vinland Saga anymore since best character is dead.

>>14807337
Best part of Vinland was pre-timeskip

>subtextually homo
>Griffith

he gay, bro

>>14804574
none it's shit by the way

>>14805732
>Goblin Slayer
I almost forgot this was a thing. Whats going on right now?

also to keep it sorta on topic the Goblin Slayer of mecha would be Getter Robo Dash aka Getter Robo Edge aka that manga with the literal razor dick guro.

Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita) has a similar blend of violence and philosophy.
