i'm still in the midst of reading it but if people are being high minded about depictions of sexual assault in berserk then they probably haven't read it

I'm sorry to keep this line of argument going but I rather resent the argument that making things dark necessitates having 'major scenes of sexual assault'. I can think of a pretty wide swathe of dark stuff I'm consumed, both fictional and historical, without any 'major scenes of sexual assault'. (And the thing in common between the ones that have them is usually that they are terrible works.) So going 'oh I can only think of three major scenes' is kinda jarring.

it isn't about necessity, berserk's scenes of sexual assault are hugely impactful on their characters and are a big part of the story. they aren't there to make the world dark and scary, they're there because the world is dark and scary and berserk is about characters finding ways to deal with those things

Kyoani has one of my favorite directors ever and if I don't get to see a silent voice soon I will be vaguely disappointed

its coming to digital stores in 3 days in the uk, which means you can see it five minutes after that happens

eromanga isn't any different from any other harem where the main girl is boring because boring is safe and comfortable
