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?

I really don't know how Miura is able to release chapters "whenever he feels like it". Doesn't he want to finish it and move on? Last I heard he was projecting the series to be 50 volumes, and if he keeps going the rate he's going we'll all be 15 years older by that time.

Fifty to sixty volumes, yeah, but nobody is absolutely sure of that number. Sources for this kinda thing are rare. He is allowed to write them slowly because he isn't merely making them whenever he feels like it. He's making them as fast as he can mostly by himself.

But I thought he had a small like 5 man team going at one point? And the source was the interview on the DVD.

I agree with this post. This is exactly what I was thinking. Also, thanks Miura for another 2-page spread of Griffith! Now can we see Guts in the same limelight, he's the cooler character anyways.

I'm not sure Gatsu can murder Griffith, or if he does, it's going to have to be the very last manga ever in the Berserk storyline, because then it will be pretty boring afterward.

Honestly, this used to be my favorite manga (or just overall illustrated series, for that matter). I've been reading it since 2002, and it's totally gone down hill lately with all this pussyfooting around and the incredible delays.

One way to really revitalize things would be to make an animated series again. All the events up until now, with the same team that did the last series. That might be difficult since they drat near decided to omit half of the vital details from the events up to the birth of Femto, even going so far as to change important plot lines for no real reason. :(

I think it ended up being a matter of time constraints really, because Miura was pretty actively involved in the first season. I believe they sent him the script and stuff, and he OK'd it.

God drat, he's really sticking it to us. The next chapter wont be out till my birthday, and he leaves us on a damned cliffhanger.

I can't wait to see the outcome of this, especially since (I think?) he's on Guts' side.

Are there any non-bittorrent ways to get the new releases? (I'm using a school network) From extensive googling, I've only been able to find up to 294, and they aren't the Evil Genius versions. Rapidsearch only seems to come up with the raws, and those don't do me any good.

I thought the thing died though...? Either way it was a bunch of bugs :colbert:

As for Guts, he somehow either will have to part with that Armor, learn to control it, or sacrifice his friends and probably, if not hypocritically, achieve his goals of defeating Griffith. That's what I'll assume anyways for the time being.

Prediction:

Griffith defeats the king.
Has backing of the pope and beating the "demon that will end the world"
Gets kingship.
Guts usurps king in a big epic battle.

Story over.

When I used to subscribe to NewType every time a Berserk volume'd come out, it'd top the charts for that month, but never appear on it until the next release. This would be pretty common for it to be the top 3 seller for that month.

Dunno about Japan, but when I had NewtypeUSA whenever the latest Berserk volume would be released it would be on the top 5 purchased series for that month, but not even on the top 10 for any other month that it wasn't.

Saw a rumour of new chapter on 24th. No source though so don't get your hopes up yet...not worth the disappointment if it's not.

It really should be due by now though so I wont discount it. Miura must be planning on finishing the series someday...

This is also assuming the king let him keep the physical parts required for said rape. Seeing as the guy was super-jealous over what happened, I could see him putting in the request for their removal.

If it's shown that he's still true-blue, then I blame fact that I read all that material several years ago.

I'm pretty sure when the egg-dude granted him a new body that he got his penis back. That is, if it was cut off, although with the torturer thing going on I'm pretty sure it was the first thing to get cut off.

I wouldn't be surprised if she joined Griffith again, I mean, she seemed to be into it when he was Femto and raping her.

Maybe Guts should rape her for enjoying it.

You can't look at everything griffith has done and not want guts to just poo poo on his parade. That sort of satisfaction might not make a happy ending, but as long as griffith gets what's coming to him, it's a "happy ending" in my book.

I worked out a deal with my local comic book store a few days ago to buy all of certain long running series' in one go, for 10% discount. I asked for Monster first, since that was the one that happened to be there, and catch my eye. Since Berserk is next on my list, and I've never seen it in store - is it too in those tiny tankoban formats, or is there larger versions available?

I don't mind the small size of most manga, but Berserk could really use something more akin to western comics' trade paper backs and if there's any chance at all that such a thing exists, or will at some point in the future I just want to know now and save my monies.

They're roughly 5"x7.25" so does that help? They sell them in my local Boarders here in redneck country USA.

It's funny you should say that because I showed volume 1 to a friend ages ago and he thought it looked too "american".
