Claymore can get pretty dang dark though, esp that part with the Awakened Being and Jean. They both feel pretty firmly entrenched in the gothic fantasy genre or whatever it should be called.
Of course probably not the same level as Berserk, in terms of the intensity. Yet I simply just must deduct points for those helmets
*Shudders*

B-but I liked Griffiths helm 
Claymore can definitely get very dark. Both it and Berserk are very similar in how they handle the demons/yoma or w/e concept since both essentially come from humans who have pretty much gone too far and have become twisted creatures of darkness, with a touch of their human sides still added in. I like it because all the demons/yoma are unique, and quite often you can see their human aspects just very much twisted (much like a certain other anime which I love to death which will remain unnamed for spoiler reasons, but I'm sure you can probably figure out which I mean 
)
The thing with Berserk though is many of the panels are just so extensive that I could just stare at them gawking for a while
Example:
The other thing, and I'll understand if you don't quite believe or agree with me here but I feel Berserk can be quite (I hate to use this word, but I do honestly feel this way) profound at times. It's one of those series that can have moments of genuine beauty, and filled with emotions without the need to actually even say anything or have some giant twist. It has those little moments in which you can see the good in humanity despite the dark nature of the story, and those moments are infact only enhanced by the darker aspects of the story Imo.
The other thing Berserk does which personally resonates with me is playing on the raw sense of wonder and fantasy, which are themes that I am highly drawn to. It shows both the darker and horrifying aspects of it as well as the good parts.
Mmm sorry, talking about Berserk gets me rambling quite a bit as Sim knows.
So I finished the first season of psycho pass. It can be silly, cheesy and ridiculous at it's worst it can even be predictable and slightly generic at times. But all that can be forgiven due to the colossal amount of breathtaking or amazing moments many moments are gray and at times I struggled to decided which side i'm on something definitely worthy of praise. The characters are also really strong. Mostly. The blonde girl who's name I can't remember has a character that begins and ends with busty blonde. Now i'm going to watch the second season because I want more damn it.
See, that I can agree with. That's poor battle-manga stuff.
But still, I have no recollection of how them thingies that give them powers work.
Maybe House can shed light on it.
Regarding other anime influence
- 48 arms in boxes circling the emperor
- 48 bronze cloths in boxes circling the sun. The emperor looks like the saint of Gemini
The character and weapons designs, it seem like it wants to be one piece, etc..
Honestly, it's becoming more apparent the more I look.

Thing with Berserk, it's too varied to be classed under one specific genre. It jumps from horror, to gothic, to war etc... and all of it done perfectly. I mentioned to Isi how I thought it was a horror story but then came to the conclusion that I was wrong because of drastically things change in tone all the time.
You'd think it'd be horrible from just that, but noooooooo.
Berserk is f*cking genius and jizztastic. And the good thing about Miura is that he never slips with his art. In fact, it's gotten better.
Oh and sure thing Isi, I'll let you know if it's a flaming pile of dog sh*t. Bro will give his opinion too I'm sure so you'll have lots to base a decision on xD

ARRGMMMAAAAHHHHHGAWWWWWWDDDD
THOSE HELMETS
GRIFFITH'S
GATT'S
ARRRRMMMAAAAHHHHGAWWWWWWDDDDD
DUALITY!
Don't talk about Berserk anymore guys.
It makes me sad that Miura is trapped in an alternate dimension where paper is scarce and mangakas are hunted for their hands.

No point.
Ko still hasn't arrive.
P.S
HOLY F*CKING SH*T!
GINTAMA!
OH MY GOD!
I did not see that coming.
Could that possibly be who I think it is?
Did Gintama just go #FullGrimmdark?
Hurr....ya know I had a UBW dream.
The group getting dog-piled and Archer doing a "knowledge transfer" thingy to get Shirou a leg up, because they were outnumbered.
Then they do a synchronised chant and unleash a DOUBLE Unlimited Blade Works.
There was much kicking of butt.
Heh...can you imagine Shirou being Archers master?
I think the last anime I've watched would be Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (the manga is more hilarious).
I mostly read mangas since I don't have the time to watch, I'm a big fan of School-life, Slice-of-life, Comedy genre. 
A few shounen mangas I like would probably be sports related, Haikyuu is my latest.

Oh and Isi.
SO FAR
And I mean SO FAR.
This is the best game BioWare have produced since ME2.
So I caught up on Psycho Pass 2. I really like this new antagonist and the new characters are solid so far. It's also got a different feel to the original without feeling too different. It's still had it's horrific moments for example.
Now for some Gintama before my Hue gets too cloudy from the amount of horrors I have experienced from both seasons.
ditch psycho pass 2, watch attack on titan again.
No thanks. I don't rewatch things very often. When I do it's usually for nostalgia reasons and I watched AoT not that long ago.

im out of things to watch. And Im not saying there isnt anything TO watch, but there arent any GOOD things to watch. A lot of whats out there is too cliche or too clique. Im looking for GOOD annie mays but all I find are the same recycled plots over and over again. And for the ones that arent rehashed plots, what it lacks in substance it tries to make up for in audacity. Like Jojo's Adventure. Do you guys have any good annie mays I can watch?

I'm not anywhere near the stage where I'm going to re-watch anything. Still got well over 100 shows on the list to watch and they just keep coming!
How do they do it..
It's all this threads fault. Stupid thread suggesting so many things.

If this keeps up the retirement home in a very distant future better have the equipment for me to keep watching anime 
And every 3 months a few more pop up.

I've rewatched a ton of stuff.
FMAB will get another before the year is done.
You can never get enough FMAB in your life.
It differs per person I suppose. I rarely rewatch things but I replay games quite often.
Guest_simfamUP_*
Hahah xD
It's the opposite for me
I'm kinda like Liam, can re-play games very easily but re-watching shows is far more rare. It will happen with anime for sure!
