loving gutted, we don't even have the possibilty of a sanderson coming in and finishing wheel of time since miura's art is so incredible.

That would honestly be a disservice. Real artists are born, not made, and someone coming in to finish Berserk would just be an insult to the work. They just wouldn't have that inborn ability he did.

Berserk entered publication when Miura was just 23 years old

An old post, but this is probably among the things that bothers me most about Berserk and Miura's passing. It's proof positive that real artists are born, not made, and if you don't have your magnum opus before 25, you're never going to.

That appears to be by far the most popular part of the story, pretty much all the adaptations I know of just do Golden Age.

Why does the snake apostle baron back at the start bother wearing armour? Doesn't seem like he particularly cares about pretending to be human.

On another note, do the deluxe editions have the coloured pages Miura did in some chapters? I've been giving the manga a look and the ones that he painted are in heavily-shaded black and white instead.

I wonder what would happen if someone just said no to the become-an-Apostle offer. The God Hand were fine with just letting the Count die when he refused to sacrifice his daughter so maybe they'd just shrug and forget it.

tbf he wasn't about to die the first time they gave him an offer :V

re: Grunbeld What the gently caress I have never heard of this Grunbeld novel, this synopsis is Berserk as poo poo too. And yeah no this is like, yeah he's ACTUALLY just a noble warrior, more or less, no secret betrayals on his part or anything. Also: lots of sexual violence. Berserk!

Can’t be that noble if he became an Apostle. :colbert:

Has anyone seen the third Golden Age movie? I caught all three on Netflix and I'm a bit confused, because people online made its Eclipse sequence out to be Cannibal Holocaust levels of horrifyingly violent and it really wasn't. Am I missing something?

Yeah, and it also looked like kind of Standard Anime Violence. It's not like you have long, lingering shots of photorealistic viscera or anything.

Oh, I agree, I just happened to come across this stuff in some places and found myself wondering what the hell they were talking about.

Any of them presuming to replace Miura would be outright blasphemy, best to just post an outline of what would have happened then leave

So I decided to sit down and just read the whole manga this last month. Am I wrong, or do we never actually see Casca win a fight?

I want to be wrong.

She kicks that sexist knight's rear end a few times in golden age, doesn't she?

Artists like Miura are born, not made, and nobody should have expected the continuation to measure up. It’s just better than nothing, which we would have gotten before
