You'd do that too if you saw a guy split a giant tiger in half in one stroke.

I dont know what you guys are arguing, im saying that entire page is hilarious. First the absurdity of guts maiming a tiger demon in two, then the stunned reaction of the crowd. Berserk is grim funny.

That happens every loving time he meets someone new. He should just have a pamphlet about himself ready to hand out. On the other hand, I can never get enough of the "IT'S A GUNDAM!!!" reaction he gets from common folk.

This needs to be actually made (at least in post with screenshots form), if nothing else, it would make an awesome introductory post when someone makes another Berserk thread in a few years. Or just a good way to explain Berserk to nonbelievers.

I just noticed that Guts has hit the tiger with such fury that not only has it been split in half, its eye has popped out of its socket. It's so hilariously over the top. 'Gallows humor' is a term that really applies to Berserk.

'Gallows humor' is a term that really applies to Berserk. Miura seems to have a thing for drawing eyes flying out of heads. Seriously, there's dozens of panels where someone's or something's head is cut or bashed with such force that its eyeballs fly out as the head and face fall apart. And that's not counting the head explosions, and eyeballs ripped from sockets.

Also, OP, thanks so much for this thread. I buy the Dark Horse editions and the volumes come out agonizingly slow. Those scanlations are a godsend!

HOT BREAD! posted:I'm a girl, and Berserk is my favorite manga. Seriously. My favorite manga by far. The gore just helps add to the whole desperate feeling of the world of the manga. I've been bingeing on Berserk these last couple weeks, reading the manga over repeatedly, watching bits of the anime, and generally just looking stuff up. I'm really hoping Elfhelm comes within the next year. Poor Caska has been insane for over a decade now. Also, I've decided I want to make an avatar of this image from the eclipse: But I can't think of a caption. The one I keep coming back to is "We're having pancakes?!"

How do you guys cope with the release schedule of Berserk? I'm thinking I should just live my life and forget about it for 1-2 years, then read volumes 1-whatever again. If I do this I'll just get hooked on it at a later date... One chapter every month isn't gonna fly, Miura! I gotta have my fix!!!

DJ Turbo Punch posted:How do you guys cope with the release schedule of Berserk? I just recently got into Berserk, which is bad because that means I devoured all 1 billion volumes of it in 3 days and now I get to wait for the snails pace. If I start thinking about Berserk I might re-read some of my favorite volumes, like the eclipse or 1-3 or something.

This is basically what I did. My last Berserk binge was about 3 years ago. I vaguely kept up in the interim, then the last couple releases inspired me to go back and read everything. Repeatedly. I find a lot of re-read value in Berserk. I tend to follow the battle scenes a lot more closely than when I'm devouring chapter after chapter to find out what happens next. Also, wanting to see some of the later scenes animated, I've been watching a lot of youtube videos from the PS2 game. I laughed out loud for a good 30 seconds at "Demons? In My girlfriend?" but the pancakes still hold my heart. I just love the expression on his face there. He looks either terrified or REALLY excited.

I'm going to have to agree, go with the pancakes title. Funny custom titles are the best when they're funny without having to know any context.

Gvaz posted:the weeaboo word for that is "chibi" i suppose. Actually they're both terms used in anime for it. Chibi and SD tend to be different levels of distortion, I think. See the whole "SD Gundam" model/ OVA series for instance.

ah yeah thats right, i totally forgot about SD Gundam. i just end up hearing "chibi" used alot more often. wouldnt chibi tend to have sort of a cute look where SD would be more of like, parody?

The PS2 Berserk game may get a US import!quote:In Japan, you guys have done some anime-licensed games like Berserk and Armored Trooper Votoms. Are those the kinds of things that you're thinking about bringing out here? I've wanted to play this game so bad that I was considering getting a cd loader for the Japanese disc. If this game comes out in the US I'm going to buy it so hard that the earth will shake when I swipe my credit card.

I know Evil Genius was mentioned in the first post of the thread. And I'll wait for the EG release. Perhaps some other versions will come out before theirs, I don't know who else does Berserk... but you don't settle for a low/medium quality speedscan with something like Berserk. After all, when you've waited a month or two for Miura's obsessive levels of detail, you can wait a few more days to see it right.
