It's been years and years since he produced anything like a meaningful side-project. This is wholly positive, and I'm p excited.

I'm actually more interested in seeing Miura write a complete, self-contained story than I am with the next chapter of Berserk (unless it suddenly starts moving at several times the current pace), so that's great news.

Jojo's is a little different, since it's really more like 8 different series that are all connected than one continuous series like Berserk. It's also incredibly well-known in Japan, whereas my impression is that Berserk is a tad more niche.

Phew, at least we know why he hasn't updated Berserk in past almost year. Good to know he's not dead. Anyway I'm excited to read this short comic! And to see how Miura handles subject matter different than Berserk.

Oh. Whoops. Thought we were talking about Berserk in the Berserk thread :P. Missed the change in series hah. Yeah afaik only the Monster manga is here in the states. Art style of the new series looks neat.. We'll see how it is. I just want Berserk to be finished before anything health related happens to Miura.

I'm sorry that you're so beaten down by Berserk that this news causes no reaction from you. Look, I'm looking forward to the new project, since I agree that something new will probably be good for Miura. Even so, a whole year with no news, no nothing, until finally news breaks out that Miura is working on something completely different is a let down. But you're totally right, me being disappointed that this series still hasn't gone anywhere in over 365 days is a sign of immaturity. gently caress off.

T'was a joke, you see. Besides, they released the second movie in English back in August, and the third came out in February in Japan, so saying the year has had nothing is ignoring what we have gotten. No new chapters, but not nothing.

I am a failure in every conceivable way. I can never make amends for my transgressions. So since you brought it up, did the movies get better after the first one? I remember it not being bad, but the retread didn't really move the needle for me.

Yes. The second movie is pretty good. Much better than the first. There's still a lot of stuff cut from the manga, but mostly stuff that's either redundant or doesn't advance the story as quickly as other scenes do. Or politics. Basically all the political intrigue and drama is gone. This is mostly for the better, since all that stuff accomplished was showing how forward thinking and brutal Griffith is, which is a moot point since he's ultimately the architect of his own downfall anyway. Third movie suffers the least from missing material from the book, and the improvements in animation made this one a treat for the eyes, so much so that you won't even want to watch since it's so loving gruesome by the end. You can tell this is where most of the budget for these movies went, it's basically the reason you want to watch these movies to begin with. What I like about the movies is that they know when to directly adapt and they know when to cut poo poo so they can keep things moving and if that means making poo poo up then they'll make poo poo up. So the scenes they take directly from the manga are pitch perfect, but the scenes they decide to cut or change can occasionally irk people if you're familiar with the manga already, which most of us are. A lot of people prefer the original TV anime but personally I can't stand it, it moves so slowly and everything they cut or changed was really awkward and didn't fit the material, so I prefer the movies. Neither of them can outdo the manga at it's own story, but one's a really low budget, low effort adaptation that took liberties that harmed the material, while the other is considerably higher budget, high effort adaptation that took liberties that mostly just made things move a lot faster and likely has a very different understanding of what "Key Scenes" they needed to show than what any given fan will say. So yeah, watch these movies with the understanding that they aren't 100% perfect reproductions of the manga and you'll enjoy them fine. They're pretty drat good movies.

As a counterpoint, the Berserk TV series mostly cuts material that would have fallen outside the length of the show -- characters that never would have shown up in the first place given their constraints, etc. So there's no Puck, no Skull Knight, etc, but it does well by the characters who do get screen time. The movies consistently cut or shorten character development scenes to spend more time on battles (which, as a rule, don't even look especially good. I'm a huge defender of CGI in film and animation and even I don't care for it much here.) So it's more "accurate," but it's also more like a cliffnotes retelling of Berserk than a proper adaptation.

Yes! Anything Miura is going to be quality. Also: It isn't fair comparing Araki and Miura. While working for 25 years on Berserk has taken a good part of Miura's life, for the being known as Araki it is meaningless.

I generally enjoy the Berserk movies, even though some omissions/changes still bug me. Third movie spoilers: I don't get why they show Griffith at the start of the movie. One of the biggest teeth in the TV series for me was this feeling of hope you get when you see Guts come back to rescue the Hawks. Then you find out they're going to rescue Griffith and you can just imagine him battered, but he'll recover and together he and Guts will lead a revitalized Hawks and be heroes again. Then you find just how mutilated and broken in spirit he is and it's such a kick in the teeth. He can't even be a general advising Guts or anything without a tongue... his dignity is completely broken. In the movie it's apparent from the beginning that he's pretty hosed up. Or is my memory of the TV series playing tricks on me? Also, does anyone have any ideas what the hell the torturer did to Griffith under the helmet that is so bad that Guts doesn't want Casca see? Is it to do with his pretty hair?

He was left in an iron helmet for months, at least. You can't even imagine the hat hair.

It was because this guy that was once regularly called beautiful even by males has been mutilated for I-forget-how-many years by the little jailer. The jailer says that he's scaled him with boiling water, sliced up his muscles and torn ligaments so it's all up to your imagination about what he's done to his face.

Wrap it up Miura, nobody cares about elf island anymore, or tentacle pirates, we really don't care if Casca goes back to normal, we cried for her, she's dead to us, we moved on. Guts will cut a huge heart that controls fate and Griffith will kiss and make up and make a speech about how it all his plan from the beginning that Guts would survive the eclipse, raping Casca to make a toxic avenger baby was all coordinated so that he could have super rape-baby mind magic. We saw white people murder brown people, goat rape, horse rape, murder fairies, demon pope, we've seen it all. It's been 13 years since I first started reading Berserk, I remember when I first saw the anime, then read the manga's and thought how cool it would be in a few years when Guts killed Griffith. What the gently caress Miura. Wrap it up!

I just started reading this series randomly, and I think I've experienced every emotion possible. I just hit the Eclipse and am kinda unmotivated and too burned out to keep going. It's just such a gigantic amazing moment I've been waiting for, constantly wandering what the big fall will be. And it was handled brutally and tremendously. And with a little too much gratuitous rape. Griffith's story up till this was probably one of the most compelling and complex character plots I've ever seen or read. I really, really loved it. Really amazing and brutal and just... beyond the wildest expectations I had when you first see Griffith at the start of Gut's origin and know what had to happen. Also, never would have expected a well written love triangle(square?) to be one of the most interesting things in the plot. I still really really loved it. This is a really, really great series. I hope it gets the ending it deserves, whatever that might be. I picked it up after enjoying Claymore for the monsters/action and not the story, and came out of this loving the story and not caring too much about the monsters or designs or action.
