I'm just glad I didn't start reading Berserk when it started 20 years ago. It's only been about 8 years or so since I've started reading it and I'm already going mad with how long it's been going on and how slow the chapters are released. I can't imagine what some people who have been following the manga since it started are going through.

Lets be honest, those people have probably outgrown it, got married, raised a family, and now their kids are going through the same hell they were 20 years ago.

Depending on when you count from, you might even be younger. The "prototype" was written sometime in 1988.

Berserk is like a fine whiskey that only get delivered twice a year. When you get it you marvel at it , taking you time to sip and let it last. You feel a little bit sad when you finish this bottle, but you know the next one is gonna be just as good.
Then you go take it to the back room where you have all the previous bottles placed... left there so you can look at them again.

Man, both ippo and berserk are 20? That's nuts. At least berserk just slowed down, and didn't take a nice long roll in the poo poo like ippo has been doing.

It's the last page that interests me to the most because it's good to know Miura remembers how to draw Guts, even if it wasn't a part during the chapter.

So Griffith has reshaped the world, and is now its magical emperor or whatever. Fine, that has plenty of potential for problems for Guts and company. But they're not going to be able to deal with that immediately so like GET BACK TO THEM ALREADY.

I think that's what the stuff towards the end is about FINALLY WE GET BACK TO GUTS AND CREW FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY

I don't know, the two double page spreads of Griffith in a row just felt like padding-they could have easily been merged without losing anything. Same with the four pages of glowing branches that opened the chapter.

No way. There are at least 17 more spreads of angles we need to view that city and then we'll move on to the interior of the castle. After that it's time for more Griffin spreads.

The title of the next episode is 'Elf Island' so it is a safe bet we'll start seeing more of Guts and crew.

Thank god about time. Also, is the quality of the latest chapter worth reading or should I wait for a better quality version to pop up?

Well there's nothing to read so it depends on how clear you want to see the art.

I was thinking more like a chapter full of two page spreads of disembarking the ship ending with another two page spread of the harbor and then a two month break that turns into six months.

Honestly, if the releases were more steady, or if the thing were already done, this would be some of the most moving plot and artwork that I've ever seen. It just happens that I get pissed off waiting for the next release.

If he actually ever finishes the series, it will be a beautiful work of art.

Of course not, but that's just our desire for closure coming out. If you got that wish and then years later you went back and read the whole thing you'd get this wonderful sense of awe and then boom bang all over for no reason.

Sure, you get your quick fix of closure but you're losing out on the feeling of epic that exudes from every pore of this manga. He just needs to quit playing hentai games.
