HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
Just posting to say that I decided to check out the 1st volume after alot of Berserk pages showed up in 'Post your favorite badass panel' threads.

I was pretty amazed, I had always dismissed Berserk for some reason, possibly due to its fantasy setting. Volume 1 changed my mind, and I pretty much lost it when Guts had his first epicly drawn freak out in which someone or something ends up in 2 pieces. Now I'm up to volume 20 and continuing to enjoy it, even if the story can get a bit convoluted. My only disappointment in the fact that it has so many volumes is that it will make buying them all expensive.


edit: SOmething that annoys me in Volume 28, when Serpico and the kid are talking about the Band of the Hawk defeating the Chuder army and what not, they mention the raid leader who killed a billion guys etc and was the cause of the victory, and they don't know his name. Then they ask Guts what merc. band he was in, and he just blows them off. loving tell them how badass you are! Don't leave them in the dark.

In regards to Casca: I took what the skull guy and company have said to mean that when Casca comes out of her idiot state she might go back to Griffith. Or not want to continue on with Guts quest for revenge. I'm hoping she sticks with Guts but who knows what hosed up direction it could be taken.

Why would you get it on the arm. That doesn't even make sense. Sure it's probabally possible but seriously. Why not just on the neck, Guts style?

If you read the comic, you'll notice each of the Band of the Hawk got one, and many times on a different place other than the neck. One guy was branded on his face :laugh:

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.

After reading the first 11 volumes i'd say the most disturbing image i've seen so far would have to have been when: young Guts was raped...
It's a guarantee that there will be something more mindfucking(no pun intended) that later on right?
I really hope so because it's fun to be shocked like that.


Oh, and to those speaking of his other works..
Is there any type of continuation going with the comic JAPAN or is there just going to be the one volume?

Yeah, I think the only times they've used apostle form to fight they've been alone, so the rest of the world just thinks they're huge badasses instead of demons.

They have an entire division of GIANTS and mutants who run on 4 legs!! He deployed them against Kushan's army like, every time!

Moth girl craters. Kid goes back and vows to be braver or whatever. Guts literally kills like 1000 babies.

Awesome.

I just re-read that up until the Kushan army starts becoming the focus. I really dislike that. I want more Gutts being awesome, less giant deformed elephants :argh:

And mostly because the kushan arc thats currently going on features a lot of "Remember that raid leader who killed 100s of guys? What was his name?" With Gutts standing right there.

Fuckkkkkkkk you're awesome gutts, let everyone know :(

I like realistic fighting Guts, but I think the armor is ok. It has huge negative drawbacks, its dangerous for him to wear it and even be around his team, and its necessary because the stakes have grown so much. He needed the Skull Knight to escape the eclipse and a lot of lucky coincidences to escape prior encounters that would have killed him so its not like he hasn't had 'plot armor' before.

Plus it was semi-necessary to get the witch lady to look into Guts thoughts and see what a hosed up dude he is.

And I like it when Monsters are like, "haw haw we're monsters, suck it, humans!" :haw: and then guts is all like :c00l: :black101: and then the monsters are all like :aaa:

Because of this thread I got cracking the first ASoIaF book finally.

70/670 pages in and so far it was tame with lots and lots of internal feelings and thought processes. Like Dune actually. I was thinking this book wouldn't go anywhere as treacherous as Berserk until page 72 and the line "The things I do for love" appeared. What followed made me go :aaaaa:

Now to wait for it to get rapetastic since this will be my main distraction while the current arc of Berserk takes its sweet time.

Good job, you've managed to find a distraction for a series that is barely creeping along with a series that will literally never be finished. You must have lost your head, how blind can you be???

ASoFaI is good and interesting, but the author blows and is a fat poo poo. No denying the books own, tho they are on a larger scale than Berserk. Its the same interesting stuff, with a fairly fleshed out world, blah blah blah.

Someone find this panel, but I think its one of the most BERSERK panels in existence. In the part of the story where Grisha guys invade that city and Guts is in a ballroom, a giant mutated tiger busts in and guts like i dunno cuts it in half or something length wise and the panel is just guts doing that then everyone at the party having a reaction face.
