And there's still the Griffith Whines From Rejection Arc. Have you forgotten about that? Will your sanity survive if the next chapter turns from saving Casca to getting Rickert safely out of town and forging new alliances that may be responsible for Griffith's ultimate downfall?

Harlock posted:Guts still needs his ultimate power before defeating Griffith. If it's giving in to the berserker armor or setting it aside and believing in the power of friendship and love. Alternatively; Guts dies and the last chapter is the Dog Knight and Skull Knight showing up to the next loser to get that armor.

I hope for Griffith's redemption, maybe a puppet master reveal. So everyone is pissed and fate wins. The evangelion ending is what I'm going for.

Miura's fine as far as anyone knows, and the Idolmaster thing is primarily a meme (we know Miura plays it but we don't really know how much, we just kind of assume 24/7 because it's a funny mental image) Ah I got him messed up with the hunter x hunter guy. These drat mangaka and their lack of work eithic! I don't want another Robert Jordan situation in my lifetime. As for the story wrapping up. That could literally be another 10 years of solid monthly releases to wrap it up reasonably. I doubt that they will be off the Island they are currently on before the end of 2017.

From his more recent interviews and stuff, I think Berserk's slow because while he's determined to finish it, I don't think he actually hugely enjoys writing/drawing it that much overall. He's been doing it his entire adult life though, not hard to see why he's maybe burned out. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2016/09/22/feature-part-2-of-berserk-discussion-urges-miura-to-try-a-new-story There's a link to the first half of this interview in the first words, but there's not a link to the second part in the first one so use this

Isn't it their own fault for drawing out these stories for the purpose of a steady income stream? One Piece, Naruto and Bleach are all great examples of this. At least the latter two ended, finally.

I doubt Miura gets much, if any, money from Hakusensha if he's not actively producing Berserk products for them, so I don't really think Berserk is a case of Miura drawing Berserk out. It's nearing 30 years old and 350 chapters. It's not like One Piece where it started in 97, has 700+ chapters and the author saying it's like 60% done. I've never read One Piece at all so I can't say whether it feels drawn out or whatever. He probably has enough to live on and be happy with it so he can do Berserk when he wants to, rather than he truly needs to.

I want someone to give Bones (the people who did Mob Psycho 1000 specifically) an entire anime season's worth of budget to animate Rickert pimpslapping Griffith. Just that one scene.

I get the impression that Miura is a frustrated perfectionist, which is why the rate of release is so slow. Doing good art - especially in the format of comics, where you have to do multiple panels of good art - is immeasurably difficult work, and if you have the kind of exacting standards he's built up over the years, making a single panel can be a Herculean task of several days. By comparison, someone like Oda seems less concerned with making each panel of One Piece a masterpiece, which is why he's been able to crank out chapter after chapter year after year with seemingly no pause. I really appreciate the high quality of Miura's art, but trying to keep that up for years on end would send any artist into a death spiral, I feel.

It helps that Oda has a very stylized art style that he can adjust the detail on depending the panel.

Pegging. Griffith will be pegged to death and somehow they'll revert him to his impotent withered shell from right before the eclipse, just to strip him of the last dignity he scraped back from the clutches of death by hubris. Even the most hardened of horror movie/Berserk fans will cringe and feel awkward as they read a revenge fantasy gone so deep it changes modern horror forever. Okay, maybe not, but while typing that it does seem to me a legit story progression to seek a way to strip him of his power and new body before he dies. So is the release schedule for the anime going to be Fridays again? I'm less interested in watching and more interested in reading how everyone else is somehow letdown even more than anticipated.

Berserk is one of the few stories where I would actually be okay with the well-worn path of the villain being consumed and destroyed by the consequences of his own actions. It's hard to imagine Griffith ever expressing a shred of regret, but we saw what happened to the slug Baron when he tried it, and Miura's been teasing the possibility that Griffith's incarnation in Casca and Guts' child is messing with his emotions for years.

I think the third episode was actually ok, the pacing didn't feel like it was moving at a breakneck speed but everything still seems off, also what's up with Grunbeld eyes, I thought they would be more red and black but hey this is New Berserk so who the gently caress knows at this point.

Probably same number as for season 1. Personally I though episode 3 was actually competent! A bit of camera fuckery and CG stiffness, but overall good stuff. The ending theme is really good this time around and the bit after the ending gave me chills. Also if you want to see some truly terrible anime CG check out "Cyborg 009: Call of Justice". Eugh.

Yeah, it was pretty good. As with all comments about Berserk 2016/7, there's a disclaimer that it's always an eyesore but the content wasn't butchered entirely and the direction wasn't a total trainwreck. I think a lot of it might just be how good this part of the Falcon of the Millennium Empire arc is, but credit when credit is due, episode 3 wasn't pure awful.
