Only in this thread: Love for rapehorse (more than Wyald).


Honestly... You need an apostle to appear before the Eclipse, Zodd is gonna show up and rip it to shreds, it's the character development crossover point where Guts realizes that these apostle things can be beat ("not as bad as that time with Zodd"), and likely primes him to survive the Eclipse. Now then, what characteristics do YOU want this character to possess?

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
He should be someone who's evil is small and banal and petty, someone who reveals the human weakness that lies at the heart of every Apostle's strength.

That said you only need that at that point in the story for Guts' sake; the audience already knows from the Count in the prologue.

Yeah, but why does he need to be playable? Just have him be a boss and be done with it.

Because Musou bosses tend to be playerlike so there isn't much time lost making it so.

Each hiatus is now measured in Berserk-readings intervals. You should read it all again, paying close attention to all the allusions and shadowed intricacies. If we're lucky, one Berkserk-reading will be sufficient for the next chapter to appear.

Because the only good manga left is on hold until early 2017, I'm going to be stuck in a shroom tripping hiatus until January 23rd (60 days or so from now). I need something to cheer me up.

He needs to read Berserk more than me. Also, he shouls take great care in employing the apostraphe. Plural form(latin root) = hiatuses. Proprietary form = hiatus'. An apostraphe is an abbreviation to a word; the anime version, OVA, and vidcon versions of Berserk are merely abbreviations of a work of art in its perfect medium. It is perfect like the blacksmith who can only make swords, not mecha with gunswords. Miura can crosshatch while hurling empty sake bottles at his staff for not appreciating Idolmaster because it is what he does well.

My burning passion (*adjusts mask*) for Machoii to actually sit down and read Berserk burns like an ember from a stray cigarette, resting apprehensively in a bed of pinestraw, heaped on a roadside that cuts through a drought-stricken forest full of bears and cougars. The thread title also doesn't do the manga justice (justice is very important), it needs to reference the work so n00bs know it is good/cool.

hunter x hunter is no longer in production. i wish my friend back in middle school knew i would gladly trade him blank vhs tapes for fansubs. he had one of those double-bay video tape things, and was a major animu otaku. I still havent read it.

Luckily, the burger which is made of mechanically separated ribmeat and textured soy shaped into rib-shaped patties has returned for a limited tiem.

You can check out the new anime on Netflix or Crunchyroll, if you're interested. It's good, and more faithful to the manga than the original anime (which got... Weird at times, though still followed things more or less).

I get that often, friends. I. Get. That. Quite often.

It was mostly just a jab to an old forum friend. Nothing personal. I understand both of you enjoy the same thing as me, and that is really cool. Maybe we can be friends.

AW, you sperg pretty righteous, and we share a true love for a great work. I like to pack a bit of humor in telling it as it is. This pause is an injustice to fans, considering how during a three year ship voyage the art style evolved, and the pacing indicates the author needs another epiphany quick (psilocybin, referenced in the previous chapter, is not as controlled in East Asia as it is in the western hemispheres, and is a really cool yet risky way of inducing a drastic yet effective removal of the curse of writers' block;)

I can Almost guarantee January 23rd will bring a new installment to the manga. I could care less about games and anime cash-ins.

Also, I need to let BS1 that the unraveling of any good fast food restaurant is the franchisification and assembly lineification of any good product. Miura Kentaro is not a game designer. He does not render CGI for anime. He is not my uncle.
