I can't bring myself to get worked up over this movie at all, because in the end was this really a story that needed to be re-told?

I like Claymore a whole heck of a lot but it's very shounen and ultimately I feel its Berserk similarities are mostly superficial. Monster designs are certainly on par, though.

I feel like this is leading to a situation where in order for Griffth and the country's transformation into its idyllic fairytale state to be complete the original sacrifices (Guts and Caska) must be killed. A situation where everyone's lives are better off now, but there is no place for survivors of the eclipse. Guts would be both a victim, and an antagonist from the perspective of the populace. The alternative would be that Guts still goes after Griffth because gently caress 'em I guess.

Begemot posted:I initially thought the moonchild was still Guts and Casca's kid, but it doesn't really make sense since it turned into Griffith's body. It was a weird misshaped fetus thing and used the last of it's power to save Casca at the tower of conviction. Why would it suddenly age up and appear apart from Griffith?

The evidence is that the child looks like Guts/Casca and has some sort of connection with Guts that allows him to calm down from his berserked state (specifically, appearing as a beacon of light), and that Zodd was somehow involved with one of his appearances. How many years has it been since the first eclipse? Maybe the reason he doesn't look like Griffith is that this form (or spirit) is what it thinks it "should" have looked like given that passage of time and a normal childhood. It's easy to forget that he hasn't really appeared that many times, it just feels like he's been a longtime fixture because of the slow release schedule. So there's not much actual material to go on.

I really want to say there was a more blatant page, like his full silhouette against the moon or something, but I must be thinking of a different part that had nothing to do with the moonchild.

Unacknowledged posted:If I understand the time shift correctly, It's probably a good opportunity for Miura to have Guts sorta frozen in time on the island and focus on Rickert and his new adventures, or maybe age Rickert way up so he's all manly when Guts presumably leaves the island?

If they're Band of the Hawk and/or Evil Genius scans they're probably fine, I think the former was the group I was reading back in 2002 or 2003 for those first few volumes. That said the translation in the Dark Horse volumes are really good and what I prefer.

I really can't be all that upset about Yet Another Bad Berserk anime, we've done this song and dance before and for all the issues with the release schedule the manga has it's still there doing its thing and being pretty drat good.

I actually don't mind the first anime and even have a decent amount of nostalgia for it, especially the music. It was more than acceptable if you considered it an advertisement to go out and read the manga afterwards. But it was also 18 years ago and there's been a whole more garbage anime-wise since then.

Chicken Katsu is indeed great just by itself, but specifically chicken katsu curry is my favorite. I like Indian curry just fine but there is just something special about the kind they use in Japan that makes the rest not measure up for me.

I will venture a guess that at least short term, Casca will stay with the group (she's honestly too integral/central of a character for our main POV to move on from her) but she and Guts will be super distant if not somewhat antagonistic.

My personal Berserk timeline goes something like: early 2000s buy VHS fansubs of the anime (later the DVDs), ~2002 catch up on the manga available at the time by borrowing a CD from a friend in our computer class that had the scans (back then it was hard to know where to look to download that stuff!), and the rest being history. I want to say it was a volume or two before Guts got the Berserker armor. Plenty of jokes around that time of "gee, is Casca ever going to get better??" So regardless of what happens going forward it feels like its own watershed moment of sorts.
