I actually started rereading Berserk last year because I realized I'd totally forgotten most of it and that I had absolutely no idea of the events leading up to the eclipse. But then I had to stop right before it happens because I got attached to the characters and I just can't reread the misery that's about to follow  Berserk is drat well one of the hardest things to read casually because the only way to avoid feeling like poo poo about the stuff that goes on is to have an aura of cynical detachment on you at all times and that in itself is miserable.

Crabtree posted:Looking back at that image, it looks so weird the way its shaded and angled. Like he has 2 upper lips, but that's supposed to be teeth. To be fair, looking back at that image it looks like somebody's poorly traced fanart so it's not surprising the shading is a bit wonky

Has the princess de-aged or something or did Miura just forget how to draw her because she looks pretty off-model and way younger than before to me? Griffith is kind of wonky in a couple of panels too. At least the nearly insanely meticulous detail work is still there, just look at that table or the text on the scrolls, god drat A solid chapter overall. I love that the ending kind of suggests next chapter we'll be back to the really interesting stuff. Maybe it'll even release this year!

I saw the cover, went "yep that seems just about right for Miura" and moved on with my life I guess that explains the slower than slow pace we've been getting Berserk chapters at this year, at least

Apparently there was a recent interview with Miura with the release of the new manga. I'm just going to steal the bullet points from some manga forum: (also includes link to original untranslated interview)quote:Interview with Kentaro Miura regarding his new series Duranki and how it affects Berserk Anyway, more Berserk is coming and to the surprise of no one it'll probably get depressing at some point again. Hopefully his plan pans out and we'll eventually get chapters out quicker- hahaha no I can't even finish that sentence. Hopefully next year we get more than two chapters. Also a picture of his setup (the original interview has more pics but I'm too lazy to grab them):

Honestly I don't think having this conversation is even worth it. Miura is a bit of creep, the parts of Duranki where he wasn't being a creep were okay, the parts where he was literally didn't even need to be there. There's absolutely no point in going "but if the situation and context was entirely different, then maybe..." because that's dangerously close to excusing him for including naked Usumgallu for what basically amounts to a repetition of what was already clearly stated in the beginning of the manga. It was stupid, creepy and completely pointless. I feel like that's about all that needs to be said about it.

lezard_valeth posted:boy do I have terrific luck, I apparently joined the Berserk boat in the same year Miura decides to only write 1 chapter Nah he did two. Two whole chapters in a year. I hope he slows down a bit next year so that he doesn't burn himself out by accident

I haven't read the new chapter but after seeing a single page from it, I don't want to and I fully support any effort to ban discussion of it on the forums. gently caress that. I don't care if it's the next writing masterpiece, if Miura can't stop being a loving creep then I see no reason it needs to be acknowledged here. If it was from some no-name creator it wouldn't be getting the leeway it has been getting so far and everyone bringing it up would be unceremoniously banned, so it doesn't really belong on these forums, let alone in this thread in particular.

Laputanmachine posted:nudity =/= sexual That said, when you can literally tell the author of a piece was writing/planning/storyboarding art featuring underage nudity one handed, you can probably be justified in arguing that it indeed qualifies sexualization and also is not a good thing

Laputanmachine posted:I don't know if this is you projecting or if you're just watched too much bad anime/read manga so that it's broken you but Duranki doesn't really have that kind of vibe. Sure there are sexual tones, but it's in the vein of "protagonist trying to find their identity" rather than "the reader is supposed to want to gently caress all these kids". I was being a bit facetious, but I do genuinely believe the nudity on display in Duranki comes from a bad place. I went ahead and read the newest chapter since I realized I'd be arguing from a bad place if I were to comment more on the content. And what do you know, it's creepy as all gently caress. I don't think I should have to justify my stance of "drawing a bunch of naked kid asses is creepy and weird" but there you go. It's creepy, it's weird and I don't believe for one loving second that actually it's about making a good point about growing up and identity and whatever. It's about Miura wanting to (have his assistants) draw naked kid asses. If you can't see that then I guess good for you? But please don't pretend you have to be a broken miser to see what's blatantly obvious

There is also literally no reason Miura couldn't draw this masterpiece featuring an adult character which makes it even worse btw

Billzasilver posted:Duranki is really good, and I’m more convinced Ruflux is the creep here. Or maybe he’s just an American prude. Ah yes, the notorious American prudish notion of "don't make a manga with pages full of naked kids" How the gently caress are you people still arguing this point like it's some controversial notion and why did I even bother to bring it up FWIW I always thought Lost Children was offputting as gently caress too but I think it was probably the point. Duranki is so far offputting because... Usum needs to be naked for the story? I really don't see it. I really, really do not see any reason why it's justifiable here. It's like Gigantomachia which also was offputting because of reasons that definitely had nothing to do with Miura being a weirdo, but let's just ignore that because it's inconvenient for the argument.
