Because while Berserk is a good and popular manga it's not a multi-billion yen media franchise like Gundam.
Though a lot of this has to do with anime companies being very dumb and bad about making money.

I honestly don't understand why they do things half the time.

Speaking of, any characters you'd particularly like to see as playable in the new game? Most of the Neo-Hawks are going to be obvious answers, but I want to give a shout out to Mozgus. I bet he'd be really fun in both forms. Isidro and Puck as a single character could be pretty neat, too.

I want to play Donovan.

Does Farnese ever actually fight? Or, do violence against anyone that isn't herself or a restrained Guts or helpless poor person heretic?

She gets a bit knifey against trolls protecting Casca in some nasty cave, but from what I remember those panels were mostly exposition about fear or something idk. Outside of that instance and the magic spells I can't remember her kicking rear end, more coming to grips about herself as a person and staring at Guts' shredded (literally) body.

I think that's why I like her as a character, she's basically most dangerous when she thinks she has power but yields it without conviction or skill. When she realises that she isn't as strong as her faith lead her to believe, she clams up and is effectively powerless. Her finding strength and purpose within herself is leading her to becoming that which she once hated most and most importantly, she is gaining respect from her peers. Not for her political position, but for her emerging talents.

I'm interested to see where her personal development will go should Casca get her mind back. Even though Guts has been praising her as she's been developing her talents, the nature of Guts and Casca's relationship could do some harm to her fragile mind.

She's getting pretty handy with those vine whips Schierke gave her - she's saved a number of Team Guts's other members' bacon with them.

And my word, isn't there some heavy symbolism in that?

Given that Hokuto Musou has characters like Mr. Heart and Generic Outlaw (yes, I mean that literally) as DLC, that's not as improbable as you might think.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I still think the best course of action would be finding a fan of Berserk rich enough to buy the devs of Idolmaster and then throwing their entire work into a big wood chipper.

Outlaw was a really great character though, he had a bunch of moves that were references to stuff in HnK.

Sat in bed and finally finished the final episode and lol, if this season turned out even mediocre at best that teaser at the end would have got me hype as gently caress but this whole thing has been garbage that belongs in the trash

The only hope is they either get a different studio to do it or at least find a new director/producer. I think I feel bad for Miura in particular because at least the 97 series and the films had some positives, the only positive from this has been "is still Berserk".

He doesn't seem to live much of a public life, if at all, so I wouldn't be terribly shocked if he's just not in super great health and the effort that he wants to put into Berserk means he has to take a long time to build up pages to release.

theres so much detail in berserks art that I honestly wouldn't be surprised if like the 5 chapters we get a year actually take a pretty hefty chunk of time.

Yeah, I was going to ask, how's his health? I mean, we now know for sure that Togashi's hiatuses are because his back is so bad he has to be hospitalized sometimes. Maybe Miura's not doing so great either. I mean, he's fifty.

While it is fun to joke about the constant breaks, there's an interview with Miura I read once from back around 2006 or so that paints a picture of him as being very firmly in the "Perfectionist workaholic who constantly burns himself out" camp of artists who reguarly go on hiatus. The parts that I really remember where that Miura's work schedule is basically: Wake up->go to studio->eat->go back to studio->Sleep and the fact that he has been known to throw out entire pages due to a single mistake.

Someone needs to send him a big box of erasers, and meanwhile decouple the karap anime from the manga. I mean really, a POS anime speculated to result in a publishing block?

because it was sufficiently profitable or moved enough manga/merch that the production committee decided to fund a new season

Because judging from season 1's quality, it cost nothing.

That would be true were I (and most of the fandom) were not Berserk fans. Unfortunately we are, and we feel like Miami Dolphins fans.

How is the game/anime going to get around showing Slann's cooch? I mean in the anime they can just make sure the tips of her wings always cover it up like in the comic in any scene her model is in, but for the game???

Not modeling or texturing it, like any game that has a magical girl transformation.
