Since there’s a lot of people coming over from general, as the mod of this forum I am only going to ask two things, so far no one has crossed these rules so no problems.
Please do not post up any links where you can read scanlations of Berserk for free or give people links where they can download the manga for free. The reason for that is this forum is very pro you going to a comic book store, or in the case of Berserk a Japanese book store or a regular bookstore and supporting the art form. What you do in your PMs is your business, just keep it out of here.
No scans. A lot of that is for the same reason as above. By scans I mean you grabbing your book and scanning away. Find an existing link or better yet, describe what you just saw which is a lot easier and far less work. Big reason for this is see above.
The other thing is regarding spoilers. This is more of a suggestion and not an actual rule. I suppose it’s a floodgate now that can’t be stopped and honestly I think at the point we are up to in the US there aren’t really major spoilers to come at least for a while, or at the very least I already know a bunch of stuff that’s going to happen through friends of mine lol! But if you wish to use them type it out like this -
[ s p o i l e r =Berserk] Bla bla [ / s p o i l e r ]
When you put it together, it looks something like this -
Berserk
Spoiler
This manga rules!
If you are not sure just quote this post and you will have an example on how to do this.
Any questions about these rules, complaints, whatever just PM me. Thanks.
Aside from that again since I haven’t had a single problem with anyone on this thread so far have fun! DON’T KNOW RYE DON’T KNOW RYE IT’S TOO RATE! IT’S TOO RATE!
What is up with that beast inside Gutts? It says it’s been around since he was born in one of the chapters. Is it a manifestation of him wanting to survive, or is it something else? Because it seems to be something not connecting to God or the Apostles at all.
I think it’s another spiritual being seperate from the godhand. It just seems to have an effect on guts that allows him to do crazy ass shit. Guts survives some insane situations, I’m glad schierke and the rest are there to keep his ass sane and alive.
No prob Sano. But yeah, I’d really rather wait and get the manga at the comic stores that download them. Its not that I don’t like crappy quality scans or fans tranlating it, its just that I want a good translation so I know I won’t get fucked over when it comes to important things like names getting changed because of romanizations or anything like that. But thats cool.
I really didn’t expect Serpico to become that much of a great character. I always thought of him as like… an average joe of some sort. But he just kicks ass from my point of view, and I can see that most everyone here totally agrees. Hmmm… Saying that, I hope to see the characters grow. Oh, and I only read a few scans… and skipped way too far ahead for my tastes. I recently just decided to stop reading scans. For the reason above really. I can’t wait till I get a fucking JOB!!! Then I’ll be able to support my BERSERK habit and get the manga already!!!
I was reading that in one of the interviews with Miura, he says that the story is only about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the way through. And has every intention to keep the manga going for another 30 years. So those with out patience, this may not be the manga for you.
Also for those that say the manga doesn’t go anywhere. Of course you feel that way. Anytime you read one chapter a week to a month (a couple months in Miuras case), you’re going to feel that it moves very slowly. But if you try reading volumes back to back you’ll typically see the story move quite well.
Also that ugly fetus thing that popped out of Caska’s cooch,was that Guts and Caska’s kid and Griffith just fucked it up when that incident happened,or is it Griffith’s kid?
It’s Guts+Caskas kid according to the Skull Knight just disfigured by the Eclipse.
Also thanks ShinjiGohan for the info, 30 years later I can look back and tell my kids how badass this series was (or at least hope it was badass that far ahead hahahah).
oh hell no. I’d probably be pushin daisies by then. Thats bullshit. Miura’s bs’in with the fans I know he is…
DarthTrey: yes. that was funny. For it to be set in medieval times they sure got their slang right don’t they? Especially lil dude that chunks stuff. Idro I think.
I read all of that shit and I still think Griffith is a douche bag. Anyone who sacrifices all of his friends to hell is a piece of shit in my opinion. XD
I love Berserk and I just got up to manga 18 Is skull knight.com still doing translations ? I haven’t checked it out myself, but I heard is was a good site a few years ago.
The fetus story is pretty nasty, however, it’s ironic how it turned out. I mean, seriously, that was so left field. But then, it was probably planned to go out this way. Prophecies and what not. It had to happen. He’s pretty vital that guy. Alot more than Puck, even though Puck is just as important. Actually, he isn’t, but he’s hella funny with the Robin Williams potential.
Gatts versus the Kushan assassins was awesome for a human to human conflict. Next to the Kelpi vs. Serpico. That was another good monster vs human fight. Wicked swordplay indeed. Ishidoro also. He seems to be a good sport when it comes to being a keen apprentice of Gatts. Almost like a good replacement for Rickert and a small replacement for Colkus. Horny, funny, determined, ignorant and full of win.
Btw… is Caska… a Kushan? She looks like she is complexion-wise.
If any of you guys have a DC, go try to find BERSERK: Gut’s Rage
It’s quite a good game (hard on some parts) and the it’s actually an official chapter in BERSERK that wasn’t in the manga. It is endoursed by Miura himself, and sometimes he pays homage to it, like when Puck was looking at a Mandragora root.
