Helck is rediculously good for something which I was expecting to be a "ha ha look at this goofy premise" thing.

Helck is really nice. The combination of humor and seriousness reminds of The Violinist of Hameln. So here's a few images.

The only thing I know about the violinist of hameln is the SNES platformer where you played as the violinist and made the girl use ridiculous costumes with special powers to work like a kirby sidekick. There's ostrich, moon fish, curling puck, UFO and even an atom bomb costume that exploded and killed everything besides the playable chars.

The Helck one was pretty funny for the first few chapters until it started taking itself seriously.

To be serious, it doesn't do anything super unique or special. It just does what it does really well and I appreciate it for that.

Clever Betty
The Ancient Magus Bride, a series about a girl with a terminally powerful magical strength that will one day kill her, and the man(?) who saved her from a human auction where she would have been sold as a wizard's experimental tool. It follows them as she begins her journey on becoming a magic user, and learns about the world of the fey and supernatural, as well as Elias as he tries to find a way to cure her of her deadly magic. It's a very serene, somewhat melancholic series, but also has plenty of hope to it, and the setpieces in this very-much-european supernatural world of mages and fairies are gorgeous, often carrying a sense of danger or dread alongside them at the same time.

Yeah, that's pretty much my thoughts on it so well. It starts to feel a little more like a standard fantasy story after the pure comedy of the first arc, but by the time the novelty of the tournament went away I just found the cast endearing enough to want to keep reading.

Been enjoying Helck, I feel its got a nice brisk pace to the chapters so it never really drags on on dull things too long.

drat. This one's pretty bad with the fanservice, but it's pretty cool somehow. Mostly due to the main girl's :black101: attitude.
I hope it stays as hosed up as the end of chapter 4 indicates

Helck is weekly and you guys are almost caught up (newest chapter is the second half of chapter 60, which came out a few days ago) so get ready to suffer, as I have suffered

Well, this explains why he wasn't willing to attack that one awakened hero. His friend probably didn't have a choice and certainly isn't in control of his actions now.

Yeah I read it now, it really is so good.

Maybe we should stop praising it so much at some point so that this thread doesn't get hijacked by multiple pages of Helck though.

I think he knew that they respawn when killed and will only grow stronger for it.
