Ditto. With so many posts I thought I'd missed at least two updates.

Uh there is a new chapter (301) if that's what you mean, or at least there were a shitload of spoiler pics last I checked.

Also news that there's another "indefinite" break with no word on next chapter coming out again.

eXCeSS bought me this account because I am a whiny BITCH!
Medieval times were pretty sexist by today's standards, so if you're going to tell a huge story set in a medieval land, women aren't going to have that great a time. Add to that the fact that your medieval lands are swarming with horrible rapemonsters and I don't see it being a picnic for the ladyfolk.

That said, everyone gets hosed up real good in this series. If anything, it's misanthropic rather than misogynist. Whenever I liked a character even slightly, I'd pray to god they wouldn't get splattered all over next issue.

Luca was an amazing character, I thought. Her lot in life may have sucked, but she did the best she could with her limited means and even tried to improve other people's lives. At that point in the story, that was just a kindness simply unheard of, especially in the world of Berserk.

Oh, and it sucks there's gonna be a break again. Visit some hookers, Miura!

Someone needs to tally up each full page of Griffith and see if it is higher than Guts' kill count.

I've missed out on the last ten or so releases (hard drive crash and stupid Navy things) and reading a bunch in a row is loving awesome. However, it makes the next break even harder to bear.

Kind of cheesy with decent special effects. I don't like the sword cam though.

the special effects were pretty decent I thought (neat bleeding brand effect). The camera work was was a little iffy (I agree the sword cam was pretty awful). Pretty good for fan made stuff.

Yea, it seemed more like a demo reel for an amateur SFX group.

Only major complaints are the odd SFX timings and how the actor swung the sword as if his arms were weak and stubby. Maybe the prop couldn't handle being tossed about.

I'm pretty sure its because the guy is weak, he needs to put on like 80 lbs of muscle before he can play guts.

Most prop swords don't actually weigh as much as the Dragon Slayer. It looked like it was reinforced aluminum or something similar, and chances are he didn't know how to swing with it to minimize air resistance from its wide surface area.

But, yeah, the actor was fairly skinny for a Guts.

Maybe in 2025. I'm not even remotely joking either. I can't see it being finished before then at current pacing and that's no exaggeration. Miura will probably get slower as he goes into his 50's too (he's 43 or so now), assuming he doesn't just quit altogether.

I dont care how expensive a ticket to Japan will be, but if he does quit I'm flying there and holding him at gun point until he slaps together a bunch of two page spreads of Griffith doing an interpretive dance to tell the end of the story.

You can Toxx clause me on this if you want. I haven't been reading this for, gently caress, 4 years now (yeah at least I didn't start when it first came out, yeesh), to have Miura go all Shaman King on me.

This is how all manga and anime should end. Like Bleach, randomly, just as the plot actually moves at a good pace, bam!, planet dead, story over.

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
The ending will be like so:
Super half demon, half angel-Sayan, half robot Gut's from the future past, who is now the Skull Knight from the start, will swing his Laser Dragon slayer at the Uber demon Griffith who has just fused with the original Skull Knight only for it to split open and a custard pie fall out. Everyone laughs as they turn back to their normal forms, have a big ol' pie fight and become bestest buddies again. :3:

Also Caska gets raped again.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the ending of Berserk is supposed to be a happy one .. but considering that's coming from Miura, the meaning of "happy" is a little dubious. I don't trust him at all :colbert:

What happened to Shaman King? I only watched the show and missed the last episode because the local Fox network felt like airing a country western special.

As I recall hearing, the manga was canceled, leading to him freezing the ending abruptly in the middle of arc or something. And then later was given a chance for a sequel series, so the original series doesn't have an ending.
