Thank you Sim! I'll trade you this one since I can't stop listening to it.

Oh god I really need season 3 of House of Cards. Especially now that I finnished LOTGH.

 

I won't lie, I shed a few tears at the end.

Rest in peace Reinhard and Yang.

 

Oh, you've seen the show as well? Good, then we can gush over it together on Steam once it hits.

He's Canadian.

I'm not going anywhere near EVA characters in terms of any thorough analysis or whatever.

 

All I got from her is that she's a very disturbed character like everyone from EVA is.

 

Whether she sucks or not... can't say I agree, but there might actually be some psychological mumbo jumbo that I don't know about that supports that.

 

She does. Like a pro.

 

[Isichar]

Yeah, what was I thinking?
 
Pfft!
 

Lolis no doubt.

Decided to catch up on Fairy Tail (manga) after missing like 12 chapters. I'm liking the use of timeskips every time Natsu needs to come back stronger in a hurry. Dude wrecked everybody at the Grand Magic Games to make his triumphant return.

 

Clothes catch fire. They do not melt. Unless it's latex.

 

Fire must be the lamest thing in the Fairy Tale universe when everyone is fire-proof.

I wonder if Watamote's mangaka is a part time mangaka or something.

 

First it's monthly (or every two weeks some times) and the art isn't really anything special at all.

 

Like... even for Slice of Life standards it's pretty much plain as hell.

 

But ontop of that, every time it's like 14 pages.

 

So maybe she/he's a part time mangaka and works somewhere else.

 

I don't know, but I sure am glad that it isn't a ridiculously long wait between each release (I'm looking at you Beserk).

 

I dislike waiting and I've caught up and read all 72 chapters, so now I get to play the waiting game

Read the spinoff! It's just as good.. Hell sometimes it's even more funny imo

I don't know what its shortened down to but the translated name is: it's not my fault my friend is unpopular.

I think that was it at least

You nailed it exactly for me.  I might have mentioned here before but antagonists that are as such just for evil's sake is normally something that leaves me feeling a bit unimpressed. The sorts of antagonists that I can find myself either relating to, or at least understanding why they ended up as they did mentally or emotionally is something I very much enjoy. I mean demons meddling with human affairs isn't exactly the most original concept in our time, but so far I'm really appreciating the fact that Berserk ties it into humanity's wants, desires and our tendency to jump to emotional extremes when wanting to change the world around us.
 
As far as Guts is concerned where I am I find him increasingly relatable even without fully knowing the details of how he ended up this way. It'll come in time, and the tsundere attitude you mentioned made me giggle far too much because it's so true. Definitely sad to see Vargas go, because I was rather fond of him but vengeance seekers tend to have a special place in my heart (the Count of Monte Cristo being one of my favorite novels ever for example).

 
I've properly caffeinated myself so I'm probably going to dig in and get working on more very soon. I'll keep you guys updated since I'm getting closer to the end of this arc.

Greay characters is something Berserk manages so well. Most of the characters (minus a couple like a certain dog demon POS) are grey regardless of they're considered good guys or bad guys.

One thing I mentioned a while back is the twist on Griffith and Guts being the typical white and black knights. They both have the qualities you'd expect from those roles such as Griffith being charming, intelligent, coming from humble beginnings, beautiful (you're nickname does really fit quote well) and even child-like. Guts on the other hand is brash, temperamental, often comes off as being unsympathetic, quite physically scarred and comes off as being confrontational. Despite all these qualities they enhabit each one is almost the exact opposite of everything they appear to be, and in many ways the personality traits you'd associate fore each one is actually reversed.

The count is a great character. The story really uses him to mess with you before the end. As you said Ani even though he does quite inexcusable things he still has a very human aspect to him. The way they are able to pull that off with such seemingly despicable characters is one thing that makes Berserk so intriguing.

Accurately put, Isi! This in particular is a primary factor I am loving in the series. Just as you put it, they share some striking similarities, but their mentality is where they mostly diverge and especially how society views both characters in terms of appearance.

 

To add further; Griffith is more the philosopher, while Gatts is more of a down to earth leader and more interested in practical matters, and both of their characterization is attributed in large part to the differences between their upbringing, temperaments as well as what drives them. Griffith is more rational and intellectual of the two, being driven by higher ideals while Gatts in turn is more emotionally driven. Griffith is more motivated by a certain sense of duty, and the quest to find enlightenment (or at least that's the vibe I am currently getting). Gatts however (in the beginning) was motivated by his lust for battle, having only known that kind of life, and while he kept that desire for a long time (even with the Hawks), it did slowly but gradually change his views (which he reflects upon several times). When the Eclipse transpired, his desire took a turn for finding justice, and to uncover the truth behind Griffith's actions.

 

Caska pretty much serves as the eyes for the reader (and the general viewpoint a lot of characters have within the universe) regarding Griffith and Gatts, and witnessing how it is portrayed in quite a nuanced fashion is something I just love to experience.

 

I wonder why it's so peaceful considering how well... Gatts' life is anything but peaceful

 

 

*insert deep philosophical meaning here*

Well put yourself Chewin! I'd like but apparently I hit my limit today already.. Somehow.. (These like quotas seem to have a mind of their own)

Griffith and Gatts/Guts or w.e you want to call him definitely two sides of the same coin as stated earlier. The duality of it all makes me gush all over since I adore the concept and they pull it off so marvelously.

Right on about Casca too I think. I also feel that Puck is sort of like that as well (something me and Ani were mumbling about yesterday) in that he'll often mirror the emotions of the readers in the story.

Also I his facial expressions. They're always appropriate and just the best.

[Fidite Nemini]

Alrighty, I just got to this page:

 

 

Pot's open, how many bruises do you reckon Shin's gonna have in the next page?

[CrazyRah]

ShinxKai ftw

 

Tho' ShinxTen too.

 

DAMMIT!

 

BroxMe

 

That's it.

 

Only ship I need!

 

 

Damn right it's the only one we need!

 

That said we do gather inspiration from others to further the perfection of our own!

[Puzzlewell]

I pretty much feel the exact same regarding Puck as of now. X3 It's actually kind of amusing to me because even with his goofy reaction shots and adorably derpy personality, it doesn't feel jarring right now, compared against the darker tone of what's happening around him. I guess that's what makes it a very good thing the little guy didn't show up til post Eclipse. Now when he gets emotional? Yeah, the elves' empathetic link is something I think I'm going to talk about a lot if the series goes into it proper. One thing Isi and I discussed last night that I completely forgot to mention was the fact that I very much adore the fact that the series handles facial expressions being telling (especially the eyes) to what someone is really feeling. I have a soft spot for situations where either words and facial features don't necessarily match (with the latter telling the true emotions felt) or when words aren't even used, and we're made to use the expressions to gauge what's being felt.

 

Remember when I said I was going to wait til after I finished the prologue to hurdur and wall of text? Yeah we can thank Guardians of Desire 3 for getting me not to shut up.

I think you might end up gushing even harder after the next little bit..
