BERSERK! THEM FEELS!

 

This was such a brilliant arc and once again Berserk proves its depth by holding on to its themes

 

Spoiler

 

I do wonder what Gatts' motives are now though.

 

@Bro

 

Geth told me to read that. I might do after Berserk, that is...

 

Disturbing to say the least xD

 

@Kaiser

 

Last parts of the original series before the filler kicks in. It was the Sasuke retrieval part.

just a few points.

 

Oh I've only seen the anime, I read a wikipedia summary of the manga. I've read like 3 chapters of Renya of the Darkness as far as manga goes, the rest of the time I just can't quite... find it in me to stick with it. Er, anyway it's been awhile I can't remember whose exact role was that died and which ones lived. I was just thinking of the gang.. like Pippen, the knife guy... them.. yeah. Were we only discussing the manga? Er..

 

Anyway, I don't really rate story or cuteness above and beyond any other factor for the most part. I think I just find the kind of cutting and fleshed out... stuff.. more in Japanese video games or western media than Japanese anime. Like FFX12 for instance, or Let Us Cling Together, or FFT, all of them have the same kind of me middle ages atmosphere and horror characteristics, but they just make a lot more sense to me.

 

As far as CLAMP goes a lot of their later stuff is kind of just cute, but the earlier stuff I found to be rather insane. Also there's <spoilers for Blood C> Blood C which was the goriest thing I've ever seen, ever, anywhere. If the eclipse makes western stuff look tame than Blood C makes Eclipse look tame. However, that doesn't make it all entertaining, which means the horror of eclipse rests more on gravitas of the character development and designs than the shock value of all the death and destruction, IMO.

 

Killing characters isn't what made the Eclipise an impressive moment for me. It's the simple fact that it was such a "wtf" moment without feeling it was trying too hard to be "wtf." Berserk forewarned you about it, you knew that something was coming. But never in your frickin' life would you have expected that.

 

It was surprising, if nothing else, that's true.

 

Hey um, does anyone want to try and convince me the current anime they've seen is the greatest thing since sliced bread? I wouldn't want to miss out and all...

A decapitated head on a cake is is honestly some of the safest Franken Fran imagery. It's very much about body horror :D

 

It's amazing nightmare fuel

I don't really care about the anime tbh. It follows the Golden Arc relatively closely but it removes and changes everything involved with the post Eclipse story. Tbh it wouldn't even make my top 50 anime's list just because it's incomplete and a mess. It's forgettable, the manga on the other hand is a completely different beast, you can't really understand what value it holds just by reading a summary about it (as is true with just about any story)

I doubt you'd like it either way.

@Sim

That was a pretty neat arc. It was one case where you get the impression that Gatts has become more of a monster then even some of the demons are. The next arc coming up is a super interesting one BTW. It has a couple superb moments that I'm looking forward to discussing with you.

Gatts only has 1 motive ATM: GRIFFITH!!!!!!!! RAAAAWR!!!!!

Not the current anime. But these are my top three.

 

1. LotGH

2. FMAB

3. Gintama

 

I'd consider them better than sex.

 

@Franken Fran

 

Sounds awesome.

 

Speaking of FMAB (well, the manga, which is like, 90% the same) this is my favourite cover art of any manga I've read so far.

Too bad I can't find a larger version.

 

Seriously, few things make me happier than turning around and seeing that huge-ass box-set filled with FMA manga <3

Showing off more Prison School art. I still can not believe it's a weekly series, and the only reason it's going to slow down is because the author is soon going to continue his older, more serious manga Me and the Devil Blues

He's also refreshingly sane.

Bah why can I never remember Serpicos name without looking it up?! X3 it doesn't matter what they deal with: mythical beasts, demons, gods.. He just never seems to particularly care or give a **** hehe (unless it involves Farnese)

I only saw him for a moment and I decided I liked him xD

 

Oh, and just a side note here.

 

Berserk must be tough for the ladies. Gatts is the very definition of a sex symbol xD

I was about to celebrate and elevate Sasuke to best character but unfortunately she's still alive.

These dreams everybody is having are certainly interesting especially if Griffith is doing this intentionally to everybody (which it does seem so at the moment.)

 

He's warned Gatts about Caska in potential danger.

Tormented the King in his final hours.

Given Zodd something to think about.

 

And the last one is a MAYBE, but that picture up there seems to indicate that he's told some other kingdom the weakened state of the Midland.

In the meanwhile, enjoy this portrait I made of Geth

 

Geth_zps05497c97.png

 

I think I could easily surpass Miura in a year or two.

I don't wear glasses and I don't have a nose like that and that's not the kind of face I make and again I don't have black hair. But overall not bad.

 

Story wise it got me wrong. I would say most anime that come from manga are never as good as the manga and I do like the medium of manga better. But I would never just say "manga is better than anime" and don't look at my post history plz.

 

But yeah right on JoJo!

 

And you should send this to Jump.

I think I need to work on my backgrounds a little. Also, I'm disappointed on the lack of shoes. I missed that part.

 

Thanks for your feedback, sensei.
