Berserk Manga

Biolink- Actually it’s more like his inner demon of his evil side of his hatred,rage and dark emotions where it basically takes over and unleashes its rage on everything in sight. For instance when Guts found Caska when she was about to get raped by a band of thieves it began toying with his mind saying that she’s nothing and to basically rape her and kill her for his own pleasure. Like I said it’s inner demon. I’m not sure it does anything to increase his power minus when the Berserkerz armor goes into the Wolf mode than I believe he gains some power but I doubt it’s up to God hand level Apostle level yes as we know from when he was able to deal a mighty blow on Grunbeld and leaving a scar.

Berserk #21 arrives in comic shops in the US next Wednesday! :clap:

It had to happen sooner or later lol! In the latest issue of Anime Insider magazine they did a casting call for Berserk, which Hollywood actors they would have play the parts of the characters in a live actin rendition of Berserk if it was in their power. Anime Insider is run by Wizard magazine and they have equally um… bizarre let’s say… casting calls for Marvel and DC comic book characters lol! Anyway here are their picks!

Guts - Bruce Campbell (Ash of the Evil Dead movies, tortures Peter Parker in all of the Spider-Man movies lol)

http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Bruce+Campbell+&x=8&y=5

Griffith - Paul Bettany (The Albino from The Da Vinci Code)

Caska - Rosario Dawson (Clerks II, Sin City)

Judeau - Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter movies)

Charlotte - Audrey Tautou (Sophie in The Da Vinci Code)

Me personally I would love to see Russell Crowe (Gladiator) as Guts and Halle Berry (Storm in X-Men) as Caska and I don’t really care about anyone else. Well I dunno, maybe I’m just as bad as Anime Insider. :rofl: I like Bruce Campbell but he’s getting up there in age, maybe a few years ago he could of pulled it off. Don’t have too many problems with Paul Bettany and Rupert Grint I guess and I really don’t care who would play Princess Charlotte. But that’s just me…

I remember reading an interview with the Berserk author. He said that after he created Guts, he went and saw the movie Evil Dead 2 starring Bruce Campbell. He saw that Bruce’s character Ash carried a big gun, and had a chainsaw blade for a hand. The author thought, oh shit, his character carried a big blade, and had a gun for a hand! lol

No difference, the Beast is merely the personification of all of Guts’ dark qualities, they are two sides of the same coin. It doesn’t give him any special powers, but without these dark qualities(bloodlust, hate and rage) it can be argued that Guts would not have become the fearsome warrior he is.

Usually in psychology, Wolves represent repressed wild urges, in guts’ case his overwhelming desire to kill Griffith(which Casca makes exceedingly harder) and his own suicidal nature(putting himself in these punishing, deadly positions to avenge his comrades and his own guilt)

…that won’t work.

an awesome, gritty, gory story with excellent char development and plot. I love this series.

Oh God forgive these sinners…

Mozgus is that you? :rofl:

Reading 21 now. LOL at Guts telling Mozgus to fly his ass back to heaven. Great fight! :tup:

when r they gona finish this series.its been goin on for like 17 yrs now.i wana see gutz and femeto kill each other alrighty

the troll extermination chapters (when they save that town) is awesome. lol troll rape

That probably won’t happen for a long time. Miura said himself “I want Berserk to be a 100+ Manga.” so I"m guessing that won’t happen till a long fucking time. But I can imagine that it’ll happen sometime after Guts finally reaches Elfhelm.

Berserk is one freaky fucking Manga…and I love it for that. Great actions, great art, great character development, and some of the stories are truly horrifying. However, I’m of the belief that if their was a movie that was faithfully based off of this manga it would get a hard R rating or even NC-17 because all of the sex and violence. There is a reason why the anime version was never played on Adult Swim (the finale alone would have been subjected to HUGE edits in order to have been viewed.) However, the manga is dope and the only comic I put ahead of it is Deathnote.

So I see he is making his own version of Cerebus eh?

Blackartsviper- lol I guess.shrugs But with how much Miura wants to put in this amazing series I’m sure that it’ll be somewhere around there.

Don’t forget, Griff has Super-Nish to deal with first :rofl:

Seen the anime awhile back, just picked up the manga recently.

Right off the bat you notice differences between the two… I only have volume 1 so far though. It’s my past time for when I’m bored of studying at the library and don’t want to go home because I’ll just slack.

So, does anybody know when the next chapter is coming? The last Chapter I read was 292.

No idea when the next episode is coming out, I hear it wasn’t in this YA =/, so probably another 2-4 weeks:sad:

edit: Was playing Mechquest, and almost lmao when I encountered a pc named Casca as soon as I left this thread xD.

When did Miura say that?

Because I don’t believe you.

Endless8- He said this a long time ago in an interview,I was like wtf wow your kidding me? I’ll look into it and see if I can link that up(At skool right now)…If memory serves it should be on Skullknight.

Shinkuu Tatsumaki- Yeah the difference between the two is very drastic and in my opinion the Manga is just more amazing than the anime, more characteres,more detail violence wise and in other scenes…:wink: also answers alot of questions that the anime had. I did the same as you pick up the manga after the anime and I think it’s a perfectly fine way to do it and made the Berserk experience ten times more fun! :woot:

BEWD- LOL XD a mech named Caska? May god have mercy on that poor mech! LOL Mozgus ranting For the lawl! :rofl:

also what did you mean by super-nish? Kinda lost me lol :wonder:

Nish

Spoiler

Ganishka is the emperor of the Kushan Army, him and Griffith are on a direct collision course, most recently, Ganishka jumped into that Apostle made machine to induce a nightmarish transformation, we don’t know what it looks like yet, but if the dreams the kid’s had was any instance, it will be a massive form with many arms, reminiscent of a Hindu deity.
