When was the last time Puck appeared in a non-SD form? He's been comic relief since the Tower arc or so. And, honestly, I think it's a role that fits him.

Guts would only be in his early 40's, so it doesn't really make that much sense to me why he would have so much white hair. But then again the Berserker's armor already started whiting out some of it because of his frayed nerves or whatever. Still a pretty funny/cool image.

If you could provide me with a guarantee that Miura isn't going to die in the next 15 years I have no problem with him taking his time. I just fear the worst!

The anime doesn't have Skullknight, either. A lot of people went from the anime to the manga, and it really isn't so bad because you eventually realize that in the grand scope of things the entirety of the anime (which was, all things considered, loving awesome) was just laying the bare foundations for the main story. When that hits you, and you see the 20 or so more volumes left in front of you, well it's a good feeling. And then you catch up and wind up in our current situation

Read from the start  On top of things left out (or added) between the two versions, also keep in mind that the manga is considerably more hosed up/violent than the anime. So if that last episode makes you squeamish, you'll be in for even more fun in the manga.

I think the main problem Miura has right now is that the last several chapters have all had many uses of double page spreads with tons of characters. We've seen large groups of people, such as armies, in just about every chapter for the past year. Coupled with Miura's one man army approach to drawing and his penchant for insane detail, and you get these delays. I bet if it was just Guts and his gang the chapters would be much more regular.

Elentor posted:I'm almost giving up on these series. It's so sad, really. I'm waiting so long that my interest has just been dying. Something kind of similiar happened with Avatar, where there were 10 month breaks inbetween seasons and close to that amount of time inbetween mid-season breaks as well. I think I even said the same words way back then on the subject. There was a light at the end of the tunnel for that eventually, and I believe there will be one for Berserk as well.

Turn A posted:Is Kentarō Miura planning on finishing the story, any time soon?  E: I am convinced that Miura has essentially become content in releasing just enough chapters to have one tankoban released per year. From 1993 to 2003, there were 2 tankoban volumes released each year. It wasn't until 2004 that it dropped to 1 a year, though in 2006 he released 2. Thus I doubt going forward we can count on having more than an average of 10 chapters a year. Even that sounds overly optimistic. How many got released in 2007? And there's been, like 5 or 6 in 2008? I'm going to bet 2009 is going to be the first year since Berserk started we don't get a new volume, unless again Miura has some master plan.

Claymore got a lot, lot better when it stopped pretending to be like Berserk and decided to basically just be a shounen fighting manga with a good amount of twists every few chapters. Until you've read up until volumes 3 or 4 (the Theresa flashback arc), you haven't really seen what Claymore's all about. It's not going to win any literary awards for its plot but its a pretty fun story with lots of limb-removing action, and the artwork goes from  with huge foreheads everywhere to some pretty awe-inspiring designs, especially with the Awakened Beings. They might even give Griffith's patented two page spreads a run for their money. Claymore is also fun because it takes the M. Night Shyamalan approach by having as many twists as possible and ultimately is only concerned with getting to the next big fight.

That's so ridiculous, like he's trolling the fans or something. Or making fun of himself for taking so many breaks and isn't being serious. I wonder if that's worse than the author of Hellsing taking so many breaks to draw porn. At least that finished, though.

It's the last page that interests me to the most because it's good to know Miura remembers how to draw Guts, even if it wasn't a part during the chapter. So Griffith has reshaped the world, and is now its magical emperor or whatever. Fine, that has plenty of potential for problems for Guts and company. But they're not going to be able to deal with that immediately so like GET BACK TO THEM ALREADY.

It boggles my mind how long it took for the last arc/chapter to finish. 'Hawk of the Millennium Empire Arc' started in chapter 179, back in December 2001. 'Chapter of Falconia' itself started in chapter 236, back in 2004. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Oct 25, 2009 |

Also funny is that due to the slow release schedule in Japan, Dark Horse should catch up to the latest tankoban release (volume 34) in 2010. I would guess around April or so.

YouTuber posted:The Skull Knight already came to the conclusion that Caska doesn't want to be sane. Hence why he keeps saying "What you want may not be what she wants." Gutz wants Caska to be normal more than anything in the world. The entire time we've been misled because he wanted to kill Griffith so badly. Which I think Guts on some level knows and understands. There is no happy ending in sight for him and Caska.

Volume 22 is the latest volume out from Dark Horse as far as I can tell, and they're up to 26 in Japan and it's still ongoing. Though it's supposed to be the final arc. I really love BotI, and have been reading the Dark Horse releases for years. I actually think I like the antagonists like Magatsu and Anotsu the most. Manji has somehow been completely driven from the spotlight in terms of character development. His immortality has become less and less of an issue, almost to the point where I wonder if the author just decided he didn't really want a story about a immortal feudal Japan wanderer slicing evil people up. I can't even remember the last time they even referenced the 1000 men he's supposed to kill. It's become a complete non-issue.

tsob posted:The one thing I didn't like about Blade of the Immortal is that Manji is supposed to be this great swordsman but always seemed to win fights in the first few volumes (all I read) because he was immortal and not because he was in any way a better swordsman. Does this ever change during the course of the manga? Rin has indeed been pretty important though, so you have that at least.

It's more like the anime only covers about 1% of the total story, and you'd have to re-read it anyway since the anime skips over several important scenes and character introductions. So, that being the case, other than serving as an advertisement for the manga (with an awesome Susumu Hirasawa soundtrack), there isn't much point to watching the anime.

I would say that yes the atmosphere has changed, but it is still overall quite great. The problem is the pacing is completely whacked, due mostly to the release schedule.
