damn and here I thought that a new chapter came out.
Berserk
-
-
i have this feeling that i will never read the end of berserk… it's really depressing!
-
Guys, stop spamming the Berserk discussion, it gets my hopes up everytime someone posts in it and then my hope gets shot down -_-
-
oh you mean like this: new chapter is NOT out…yeah?
-
i have this feeling that i will never read the end of berserk… it's really depressing!
For me it's more "I have this feeling Miura will not be able to draw the end of Berserk… it's really depressing!" but he is only 50 or so, he's old, but not too old. I doubt he has this planned to go on for another 20 years.
Kentaro Miura: No worries! -
the end will most likeally come out by the time i'm in my 80's
-
Look like he's wearing makeup.
-
Well Japan DOES have long-life expectancy.
-
They eat a lof of fish.
-
anybody has read the "japan" one shot by miura? never heard of it before i learned it will be published in france in september.
-
Miura has said before that he does not want Berserk to become his life's work. He may have changed his mind though…
-
Or maybe he's become a God-Hand and can live forever.
-
@MB.:

yeah… too bad for him it's what he'll be remembered for. Didn't this start in the early 90s? I love it sooo much, but it takes too long to come out. But I appreciate his attention for detail
-
It impossible to be better at the details I think.
-
Didn't this start in the early 90s?
No, the late 80's. I believe it was 1987 when it initially started.
As for Miura not wanting his life work to be Berserk, Oda says the same thing about One Piece. It kinda ain't happening. XD But this depends on how you read it. Wanting to not be known for just one series, or not just wanting to do one series. I think Miura and Oda wouldn't mind being known for their respected series, but don't intent for it to be the only series in their life.
-
lol, then they better get to work. I'd laugh if Oda finishes One Piece before Miura is done!
-
Why? Compare One Piece's art to Berserk's art. Nothing to laugh about. But I do find that amusing, the two series I follow are so different from one another:
One Piece: Goofy straight forward art, zany characters, light-hearted, no one dies.
Berserk: Realistically detailed art, gritty characters, dark, everyone and their grandma's die.How is it that I can go back and forth between these two? XD It surprisingly works.
-
i'm not saying i'm "surprised" that One Piece has already achieved more than twice the chapters that Berserk has. And both are extremely well developed stories. But I don't believe for one moment that Berserk is released as slowly as it is JUST because the art takes longer to draw. I know it's a factor, but there has to be other reasons. Not a bad thing at all… but over two decades for 297 chapters is crazy! However I won't criticize Miura at all. His manga is a finely crafted piece of awesome that I'll recommend to anyone I meet (except to the underage, old, or most women... lol). My point is that both series are known at the moment for having quite a distance to their apparent conclusion. I would simply find it humorous if Oda finished first.

Not always. One of the primary differences is that Shounen JUMP, the periodical where One Piece appears, is weekly whereas Young Animal, the periodical Berserk appears in, is biweekly. So OP already has twice the number of chapters released per year as Berserk. So, if we divide 508/297, we get 1.710, or not quite 2:1, which is to be expected when one takes into account holidays, author sick leave, and requests for extra time to handle very large scale drawings of excruciating detail (The Main Kushan Army marching towards Vrittanis springs immediately to mind).
In short, Berserk is right on schedule.

Nice math… if both series started out at the same time. Berserk premiered in 1989, and One Piece premiered in 1997. Berserk has been running nearly 20 years, One Piece a little over ten. So in DOUBLE the time, Berserk has released half as many chapters as one piece.
So there's one chapter of Berserk for every four chapters of One Piece, on average. That's 4:1 practically, not 2:1, regardless of Magazine shipping schedules. And thats not counting when Muirai takes 3 or 4 months to do a single chapter. I love Berserk, love it lots, and I'm fine with Muirai taking his time to do it right and tell the story he wants to tell at the qality he wants, but it is coming out slooow...

Well, I did say that I assume that the attention to detail isnt the ONLY reason Berserk takes long to come out. Thanks for telling me why though.
oh I have no complaints with the schedule. It can be grueling waiting to see what GRIFFITH WILL FINALLY DO!! but… I'm more than happy with the quality of his work so, being the insignificant american fan I am, I forgive the length of the releases. And good calculations.
-
People here complain that they'll be 30 before One Piece ends, well we'll probably be 60 when Berserk ends… Oh wait, that'd require Miura to live roughly 110 years... which while not impossible, isn't likely.
Okay, so I'm not a math genius like some of the bastards in this topic. But again I'm not complaining, I'm sure Miura knows just what he's doing.
-
Maybe his son or grandson can finish Beserk?
-
Does Miura have kids? Is he even married?
-
I think he married with kids?
-
I thought he was a vampire, and thus clinically immortal.

If that's the case… we're screwed, he could be writing forever! After I die, i'll have to keep my ghost in this mortal coil to finish the story.... or become one of his minions somehow
-
…friends of bob barker maybe?
-
… what? What are you talking about? Dammit, I thought a new chapter was out!
-
same..damn kaze (900 ml)
-
Whar Iz My Nu Chapter?!
-
At this rate, he's probably drawing every tiny bump and vein on Emperor Freakyfaces' new body…
-
I JUST FOUND SOMETHING INCREDIBLE!
No, it's not 298. It's a live action Berserk fan film. Now, before you go "uuugh" and leave the page, give it a watch. They put 5 months of work into it despite it being so very short. I was blown away, the effects, tho very B-movie-esque, are INCREDIBLE especially cause their budget was $0. It's only 6 minutes and you wont regret watching it. It may seem bull for the first 3 minutes, but it picks up when the fights start.
tZy_ZQsoaOk
I suggest watching it on YouTube has the YouTube logo on here blocks it. -
Gotta say Buuhan1, excellent find. really enjoyable. I would definitely watch a full length movie like that.
-
looks pretty cool for an indie film. Good effects, especially for the type of demon he was fighting (Interesting choice from the manga too).
I've only got two gripes: Gut's sword needs to be moving MUCH faster than that. (I understand they are trying hard, but it just seemed really slow. For as good as they are, i'm sure they could speed things up). And, I disapprove of the use of Disturbed songs in ANYTHING (especially related to things I like. But it's their movie so whatever. just doesn't fit. Pick some real metal if you wanna have that kind of stuff).
but damn I'm impressed!!
oh… and MIURA!! WE'RE WAITING!!
-
that video was awesome….good find buuhan1.A tad bit dissapointed though cause I thought that the new chapter was out.
-
i have 3 things to say as my first post in this topic
1. gecko, what do you mean? Im under 14 and under age, and i enjoy it…. as long as youre mature enough to not go OMG BOOBIES AND BLOOD, then you should be fine (The targeted age for berserk is 16+ anyways)
2. that video made me uncomfortable..... though it was well made.
3. i am fine with him taking his time in perfecting berserk, but im scared that either him or I are going to die before it ends.
-
Will the ending to this movie be gay as well?
-
@Davis-
I assume you're referring to my offhand comment about who I'd recommend the manga too? It was a joke more or less, but I understand as long as your mature and stuff. I suppose I just don't really know who is mature and who isn't. I don't wanna be responsible for possibly warping someone's mind with some of this shit. (although it's not THAT bad… but pretty graphic). I guess what I'm trying to say is that you youngsters gotta find that shit yourself.
Which it's good that you did. I wish I found Berserk a few years sooner.
-
lol, well, it is pretty bad, i mean there are some scenes that are about a half a step below hentai. but w/e i guess im just jaded.
-
Goddammit><
Would people stop posting in this thread? It makes me think a new chapter is out.
-
new chapter.
when toonami comes back.
-
Hey new chapter is out links at the bottom of the page
…..........J/K
-
Gep, enough. The REAL chapter is out:
-
OK, guys, this isn't funny.
I'd have been seriously pissed if I had been dumb enough to believe you.
-
I'm angry, this three month without Berserk thing was okay in as much as it let me catch up with all the other manga I'm reading, but now I caught up with all of them and there's only two mangas I can bother reading chapter by chapter(One Piece and Berserk) so I think it's kinnda time for a new Berserk chapter-_- (Preferably one that doesn't involve 20 pages of Ganishka standing/walking, we got it, he's huge)
-
lol, not cool Geppetosmonster…
! -
The new chapter is out.
-
In a strange way.. we are all failing :/
-
you didn't disguise the link kuwabara. I'm sorry but you..
