I don't like bees.

I've never been stung but my sister has.

Also my grandmother and she nearly died cause of an allergic reaction.

Right now I'm listening to this.

I think I may quit Beserk, though. Darkness induced audience apathy like Devilman, except right from the start instead of being a gradual process.

Shame, but Berserk certainly isn't for everyone.

I have been stung by bees/wasps, I think three times in my life. At least that I can recall.

Just the other day I let a wasp go unsmashed because I wanted to give it the chance to live peacefully. It stung me and I was forced to slay it anyway. It was tragic.

Berserk is cool because the author got tired of it being dark all the time and just started adding friendly characters because he wanted to write some fun interactions instead

Griffith should just hold an Idolm@ster competition and gather all the idols of wherever it is that Berserk takes place.

I bet Makoto could beat Guts in a fight.

I'd actually advise reading a bit further in that case.

The first arc of Berserk is pretty :black101: but Muira hasn't played his whole hand yet. Still might not be your cup of tea, but I'd at least read up until Guts gets inducted into the Band of the Hawks (which I think is around volume 4).

Alright, I'll start back up again tomorrow. I just hate immoral heroes. That's what got me to realize Mahouka was so bad, too. Heroes should be...better.

Volumes 3 and 4 definitely give you a better feel for what Guts' deal is.

There are reasons he acts the way he does, and I don't mean "I've had a hard life so it's okay for me to be mean."

Guts isn't immoral though. He's way past caring about morals and is in a world that is also way past caring about them.

The end result is that I don't like the protagonist either way.

That's just another way of phrasing "immorality".

i mean i suppose it's fair to not read something in which you can't emotionally connect to any of the events because you can't connect to the characters, but i do think you're limiting yourself if you throw anything any in which the protagonist is unlikable since examining what makes an unlikable character who they are can still be interesting

I am genuinely curious about his backstory from what I've been hearing about it, and he does apparently get better, but the way he's been going it's heavy poo poo he needs to atone for.

I'm just a very black and white person.

I want to re-read it if it ever starts making regular progress again but until then eh, I can wait. When I do I'm not reading the Golden Age arc again though, I am so burnt out on that part.

It really isn't though, but that'll only become more apparent as the story goes on. You just don't have a good handle on what Guts does yet.

That's pretty much why Puck is there in the early volumes, to give you someone to relate to, even though it's mostly just just him going 'holy poo poo dude wtf'.
