Depends on how you look at it: Gambino and the fine black gentleman made a successful business transaction and brofisted to seal the deal    Guts however, not being privy to this price on his free time, experienced a life-changing event that sort of ruined him as a human being for a few decades rounded up or down.

Berserk is neither especially poorly nor especially well-written, and its best-written part ended a long-rear end time ago. The question is more how anyone could look at any given Berserk panel from the last decade and go "yeah, the writing is definitely the main reason this comic exists."

It feels pretty well written to me. Or at least well-planned out. While I read it I got the sense that Miura has a very clear idea of where he wants to the story to be going and what he needs to set up to get it there, it really doesn't feel like he's making it up as it goes. It has a very deliberate pacing to it, people are always getting mad about how long Guts & co. are on the boat & how each new issue isn't them getting to the island but it feels like he's doing it on purpose. Not because he can't think of what to do or because he's putting it off, it feels very much to me that the trip was supposed to take this long and that was never supposed to be any shorter or longer. When they do arrive at Elfheim it will be exactly when the Miura intended them to be and exactly when the story needs them to be. Miura obviously puts a lot of work into his art, but I think he also puts just as much into the story itself, and I think Berserk is better for it.

The pacing is pretty solid when you're reading the chapters back to back. It's less solid when delivered month to month and loving terrible when delivered year to year.

The one thing in Berserk that made me question if he was making it up as he went along was the whole fight with the sea god. I can't think of what made that + the mermaids relevant to the overarching plot.

Something had to happen on the way to elf island. And Guts' party had to be alerted to the changes in the world. And Guts had to kill some poo poo. It served several important narrative functions!

Don't worry, in two years we'll finally find out if Rickert was REALLY mad, or just KIND of mad... or maybe he's not that mad and changed his mind? Berserk is a rollercoaster.

HxH still has a lot to go especially considering (current manga spoilers) they just started what seems to be a massive new arc and with most of the Kurapika stuff still unresolved . Barring the sad possibility that one of them dies I think Berserk will end first (but it will still take forever getting there).

Pretty sure Muira recently said he was like 50-60% done with Beserk, so I really don't expect the series to end unless he gets bored enough to have Guts suddenly return to his home planet.

Yeah, if he was talking page count we have another 20+ years at the current release schedule.

If Miura has to wait for Guin Saga to end (not even the author dying could stop it) so can we wait for berserk (and hopefully Miura won't die at freaking 56, like Kaoru Kurimoto) Edit: Holy poo poo! I didn't know Miura is the designer of the Gackpoid, ahaha, he's such a nerd.  I should have noticed. trucutru fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Oct 29, 2014 |

I really don't want to see what the result of GRRM and Miura would be. In either direction. Now, the people who do production design for GoT, on the other hand...

Dr. MonkeyThunder posted:Anyway as Conan was born on a battlefield and everyone around knew that to be an omen he was fated to a life of war, which was pretty accurate. Kentarou Miura was obviously at least a little influenced by Howard. By Guts' birth, he was not only born on a battlefield but also from a corpse. I think him being picked up by a mercenary and his adopted mother dieing early is just recreating the kind of environment Conan grew up in and trying to make it worse any little way it can to forge a better badass. The peculiar nature of his birth is just a sign of what was to come, and who he is. Dammit, I only just noticed the Macbeth parallels
