My final form.

Viz also has a trailer for the english dub out. It sounds ok, I guess. The actor for Guts sounds better than he did back in the early 2000's, but the others sound the same.

I wonder what new stuff the "hardcore" crowd will latch on to and nitpick the poo poo out of. :allears:
It's cool to hear the original cast on this new stuff. I always throught the dub Griffith was pretty much spot on.

I just read through all of my Dark Horse volumes again, and with things fresh in my mind, I really am glad I picked up this series. I've probably gone through the run four or five times, and it has never gotten dull.

Every once in a while I pick up a random volume and try to envision how well what is presented would hook a reader with no previous knowledge. I think the action in Berserk along with the comedic effects and drama are all really top notch at drawing you in.

My favorite arcs for a new reader would probably be the Misty Valley and Vrittanis, they have a lot of sweet action but also really good character building.

Is it the amnesia/blank existence bit? As far as Caska is concerned?

I can't really focus on the video because of that guy's thick accent and the image of a bleeding woman right by his head. An odd choice of interior decoration.

That's awesome. I've always debated over whether I'd do an inactive or activated behelit if I had it done in a tattoo or other medium. They're so bizarre and eerie when inactive, but when the face forms it's borderline terrifying.

Constructive Edit: Where are the tears of blood?

Thanks man. It's so well made I'm thinking about getting the inactive at the same place on the other arm :D

I forgot the tears, but they can be added later. It looks loving brutal already tho'

It is a nice tattoo. (Not sure if the Grandkids will really 'get' Berserk when they are 10 and 7 respectively...)

On a similar note: you know what Berserk would be good for? Van murals. If you were to take an image from Berserk and have it airbrushed/transferred to the side of a van, what image would you use?

Anything with Zodd. Humanoid or Apostle form. For a complete reversal, Puck and Ivalera to bring out the hippie in a van.

Seconding Zodd, hell have half human Zodd in a battlefield with some kind of fiery transformation as you move along the side, then it's full demon Zodd with Guts and the sword at the end.

I was expecting a mural of the eclipse since God Hand are by themselves a heavy metal album cover but I find this idea hilarious.

Berserk 331 is out, though it hasn't been translated yet. The spoilers sounds pretty sweet, though I'm reserving final judgement until evil genius or someone else finishes a translation.

I thought moonlight kid was Guts & Cacsa's love child, tainted and disfigured into a premature demonic baby by Griffith's rape of Casca during the first eclipse, and then healed by the Egg of the Emperor apostle/egg man during the second eclipse. The kid is always drawn to Guts or Casca, and has saved them numerous times. Is it alluded to in any previous chapters that there is a connection between the kid and Griffith? (I have not read chapter 331).

Nope. Well, from what I can gather the spoilers are out but the scanlated chapter itself isn't. At least from checking Manga-Updates and Evil Genius' site.

I recall making a bet with myself after the last chapter, that next chapter they'd be on Elf Island. That didn't pan out. But next chapter they must get there. Surely.

The Evil Genius translation is essentially done, but we're holding out for better raws before editing. So... it might be a while. Or it might not. I expect some speed scanlator will crap something out in the meantime.

Better still, December is in last with 1% while OMG WTF 2013?!?! is leading with a resounding 76%.

Hmm so looks like my theory about the kid might not be right. Though I don't totally buy what Schierke said either. That tree branch could have appeared because that's how the elf king travels. Or it could be Griffith using the Ganishka tree he created to move around.

Art was fuckin amazing this chapter. Every page is like a goddamn Gustav Dore print.

Good stuff, Berserk.

I'm starting to think the Elf King is mythical and can be a Griffith stand in or will be attacked by Griffith. Also, Gut's son was stillborn and he be might a conduit for Griffith/Femto to spy on Guts. Femto is the prince of demons so he would able to see or control the child seeing as the child is a spirit too. What is Guts going to do after Elfhelm? He is making his moon oaths again.

Aw poo poo I can't wait!

Neat idea, provides a good way for the child to increase the tragedy even more. Now I'm wondering if Guts will have to kill the child before this is all over, which won't help Casca in the slightest :smith:

Yeah I've kind of thought this was going to be a dilemma ever since the scene with the Skull Knight on the beach. Just because if the child is some conduit or weakness for Griffith, this is the most obvious point of conflict for Guts and Casca - and because the child in its original form was absorbed by the behelit-shaped Apostle before Griffith was brought back.

The second/third page with the spread of the boat and mermaids in the water, that could go in a frame on a wall. kind of makes me want to go through and pick out great two page spreads from throughout the series as a dialogueless condensed retelling.
