Berserk

-
no new chapter yet don't get excited
but what I've heard is that hes taking extra time to go CRAZY with the detail for the war and I'm expected a rather large chapter coming up with some AWSOME art
-
Speaking of Berserk….Has the manga ended already?
Who's your favorite character..?
Mine is Serpico...Damn that guys cool..
I have volumes 31 and 32....Do u know where I can find 33?The manga hasn't ended.
You can't have volume 32, since its not finished. Theres only 3 chapters out for it. And well claerly 33 dosen't exist yet.Youv'e basically caught up my friend…
And enjoy the neverending wait!
-
I still stand by my prediction that this manga will never be finished, and Muira will die somewhere towards "the end"
-
Youv'e basically caught up my friend…
And enjoy the neverending wait!My number one tip would be to take at least a half-year break everytime you get caught up with Berserk. And then enjoy all those very few chapters which has been released between the time you take off in a batch. Oh, I meant episodes. Not chapters. Episodes. :whistling:
-
Yes the manga artist does tend to take a somewhat relaxed position with his job and tends to go on holiday for weeks or months on end.
On the seventh dawn of the seventh day a twice-blessed man will roam the fields. Doomed to shadows with his brethren, or saviour to all who walk the ground.
-
Is he working on other series or something? This is my favorite manga. He needs to get on with it already. I guess I shouldnt have read the whole series in a month, several months ago.
He is going to die before he finishes this.:sad:
yeah im here
-
-
Well he's currently dedicating himself to Berserk only so far, so at least we know the series is being given full attention.
They should make another game, though :D On Wii or PS3 <3
-
just finished volume 31 this morning Well I've been reading beserk for about a year I suppose, and the latest chapters have been the best. Most importantly because of what the night said to gats.
FINALLY Caska may beable to become herom self again, BUT the gut wrenching down side is although that is possible, she may not want to go back. >_< ooooo !!! I LOVE THIS Manga!!! X_X
Anyways, i hope they gothere soo so I can see what happens. I wanna see what caska decides! ><
-
Have you read the 3 chapters of volume 32 yet?
-
-
And once you read those three, you may join us in the circle of eternal wait :D
Well, the next chapters are promised to be ass-kicking, so can't complain :x
-
Honestly, I hope caska atleast (if she doesn't choose to return to her former self)undrestand what Gat's has been through and understands his pain.
But in all honestly, I want her to return. >_<
-
caska needs to return or die. I am tired of this bullshit all for her sake.
R.I.P. (for now) KO-Scans
-
No if Caska comes back than that mean she is going to cut her hair again. She was a pretty good fighter but now she is useless cause she lost her mind.
yeah im here
-
No if Caska comes back than that mean she is going to cut her hair again.
…what?
(20 characters)
R.I.P. (for now) KO-Scans
-
As good as Berserks been, Gutts HAS gotten kind of dull as a character. But thats because he's in transition between crazy and palsy walsy.
Cascas mental return will sure turn that around.And of course the inevitable Hawk entry into this big battle will be awesome.
-
@gilrules2000:

You're right, caska, since she got mad, was a very ruined character. :sad:
Anyway, this manga should have ended a lot of time ago, without the pile of crap magic and so on…

Yhea, because your opinion on magic totally outranks the whole "it would be glaringly unfinished" in importance.
-
This series is awesome, I can't really say I've ever gotten sick of Gattsu, if anything his charater development lately (sacrificing his body to use the berserker armor) has been pretty interesting, I'm thinking eventually he'll have to become a demon to defeat one. Makes sense.
-
Hoenstly, after seeing the anime, the manga was the best anddefinently the only thing that cheered me up. :/ (still thinks they should continue the anime)
Gats Has been dull lately, but I think he's just working as hard as he possibly can to learn how to use the armor with out losing himself, so he can protect Caska and the others.
[qoute=[B]dlo62282]
No if Caska comes back than that mean she is going to cut her hair again.[/qoute]Caska, looked hotter with short hair. :P
Also, this will not only be the defining moment in ther series for her, but most likely be the turning point for Gatt's character and he might actually turn sane which would wouldn't make him have to protect as much, and then he could probably fully master the Black cursed armor.
I wanna see Gatts smile again, but I want it a genuine smile, from the heart, and maybe even a tear drop or two. :]
-
(still thinks they should continue the anime)
Well I don't recall if it was in this thread but I heard there isn't going to be another anime adaption until the Berserk manga is finished… so uh... we have a long time to wait. :)
Berserk is probably also a series that could make me burst into tears, if a) caska is brought back or dies b) if Guts does actually smile again
-
Guts smiling again will be a crazy ass moment. I mean with all the shit he has had to deal with it would have to be such a happy moment.
-

sounds like random rumors to me.
but yeah, i frankly would like caska to turn back to her old self. she might not like it, but hell, she'll be pissed.
-
I think its definite she's returning. If anything Skull Knight was just giving Gutts a little reality slap into reminding him of how unclean a transition its going to be.
-

Same. :] Like Caska could at first say no, and as gats walks away and is by himself He thinks that all he's done was all a waste, all worthless and then we he thinks it's just over, Caska will say somethign to make him turn around and bam she'll be back. >< <3
would be fucking excited up the fucking wazoo :3
sounds like random rumors to me.
but yeah, i frankly would like caska to turn back to her old self. she might not like it, but hell, she'll be pissed.
She'll finally be able to fight.<3
And, I'm sure that she'll have a weapon given to her that will kick ass and take names, you know I love how Gats is becoming a leader and taking is own place in sort of the same way I'm sure the hawk did.
and soon others may join and then he'll have his own band of mercinaries. B)

Holy crackers. It's amazing to see Berserk "animated" in an up-to-date manner; the anime is pretty old and dated. That game's going to kick major arse…pity I do not own a Play Station 2. :O
That kind of anime is the best. :/
-
I haven't seen the animated version as a whole - just some episodes from here and there - but I like the "dated" hand drawn look of it. But if they would be animating an arc and two then perhaps I could be interested in seeing it (as long as it wouldn't be too similar to the comic). A full blown series would be foolish though as they would ran out material fairly quickly… but I guess I'm now babbling about obvious.
It's pretty easy to forget that Caska wasn't always like that though. It really is just a different character. I hope Miura will make it worth of all of this in the end - it shouldn't be hard as he has a great scenario in his hands. Short hair = the sexiness.

yes but you have to admit the whole Holy Tower arc would kick immense amounts of ass animated
-
An OVA here and there would be nice; movie quality kinda stuff.
I'd also dig if they use those computer generated characters to animate more scenes from the manga; the motion capture makes it look so realistic :)
-
yeah I wouldn't mind an OVA. :] that'd be pretty sweet. :]
-

So so so sooooo true.
Also I would love to seen an OVA, just to tide us over. You know they'll have to get back to animated it SOME day. Probably just not any time soon.
And I saw Terek made a post about that PS2 game - I been playing it myself recently (dropped it for a while for FFXII and tales of the abyss, just picked it back up) and despite its repetitiveness it's my favorite hack'n'slash for the PS2. Awesome graphics, lots of blood, and some really great cinematic cutscenes (especially where I just got to in the game with
! the witch-girl summoning spirits to ward off the trolls)
-
Question about the holy arc. The main villian, was he a different type of monster? He had wings was it a different power than from the God's hand? I was confused at what actually he was.
yeah im here

The Behelit-Apostle had the strange ability to create pit-spawn by merely piercing parts of their bodies with tentacles; they're distinctly different from actual Apostle (which gain supernatural powers through sacrifice) and the ghoulish monsters of the damned that plagued Guts at night. It's clear that those beasts, namely, the Pagan Satyr Lord and Mozgus, were NOT apostles, but they were almost as powerful as them.
It's like how the Beast of Darkness is a true demon with simmilar origins to Idea of Evil, but consider the Beast "from a different family" and a rival of Idea's minions.

This post is deleted!

from EG's website
It was just brought to my attention that 280 will be released on January 12 of 2007. You can find out more at the official Berserk page hosted by YoungAnimal.
As I said in the previous post, EG will all over it faster than Eldo on your Mom.
WOOT!

Sweet, finally a release date! Way to bring in teh new year!

Are we certain the Beast even exists as anything more than symbolic madness or Gutt's inner struggle?
Isn't that just like an angel or devil sitting on someones shoulder essentially? -

-
If the Berserker Armor is any indication, the Beast truly IS like the inner something of Gutts, since upon him wearing it it took that shape.
-
-
Yes. But the armor originally had a different form - it looked a lot like Skull Knight actually
. It changed into the beast thing after Gutts adapted it. -

Isn't that just like an angel or devil sitting on someones shoulder essentially?I've noticed the Japanese have certain perceptions toward magic that are influenced from the Middle East that have yet to come to American shores, but they seem "right" in a matter of speaking; one of those concepts is that human thought has power in another plane of existence. Miura's explanation for that is, of course, Idea of Evil; it's merely an idea existing in the subconscious of all humanity that takes form in the Abyss (the dream underworld), but since it it has taken form it attempts to fufill humanity's desire for fathering it and in turn manipulates events in all lesser planes, like the Vortex, Nexus, Interstice and Physical.
There are three ways to make demons; the most common ways are to have demons birth other demons, or to transform another living being into a demon (as was the case with Mozgus and to a greater extent Griffith). The original method for creating demons, that is, imagining them, is f_aaaaaa_r rarer and more difficult than the former two; I mean, it takes all of humanity to maintain Idea of Evil, and yet here we have Guts who created his own personal demon that is already having an influence on his actions, when this is the same guy who has resisted the binding power of fate and destiny from the start.
In a way, perhaps Gut's liberation from destiny is why he was able to create the Beast of Darkness…
Anyway, for a while, The Beast lacked corpreal form, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist; if anything, it was the highest form of demon (an idea) that managed to influence the real world when it manifested through Berserker's Armour. I would have probably agreed that The Beast was nothing more than a troublesome imaginary monster, but when it manifested that was a clear sign Guts actually fathered an actual demon.
-
I disagree, because the Berserker Armor can be used on anyone, not just Guts.
As Yoska said, thats EXACTLY my point.
It CHANGED shape when used by Gutts, as opposed to its shape when used by…Skull Knight.To Terek: I'd actually say were in agreement. Berserk's core is all about concept ruling reality. Every single thing in Berserk thats supernatural (outside of maybe faires and magic) is actually a product of humanity. The Godhand, Trolls, Quilophoth, Idea.
The Beast is probably both symbolic concept, and since this is Berserk, symbolic concepts have a tendency to become living breathing realties whether on one plane of existance or another. -
It's pretty obvious that gat's is becomeing a demon or is atleast making one thanks to his massive emotions and the armor.
anywyas, the "main bad guy" is obviousally Griffith, But the Supposed "Demon King" was only a haligram ((If you will)) That can attack physical things.
-

It's not that Guts is becoming a demon, but that he's moving away from his muderous tendancies and The Beast of Darkness gained its own ego and wants him to move back.
As Zephos said earlier, our current Guts is in a sort of transition stage; the original Guts had "innocence" so to say, that is, he had little knowledge of the supernatural and his life was very much human. That would be Golden Age "medieval" Berserk.
After Guts had basically everything that mattered to him taken away, he was consumed with hatred and went off on a lonely journey into a now nightmarish world. This Guts was the most "evil" or "badarse" Guts as people know him; apathetic, instictive, merciless and powerful. What made Guts exceptional among characters simmilar to him was that he still had the shining "human" element to his character; Puck's presence was likely what brought this out. We don't see Guts slaughtering villages and raping women; in spite of his tendancies he was still above all that demonic stuff, which made him a very interesting anti-hero. This is "Retribution" saga.
And as we all know, Guts is starting to regain a lot of his humanity again what with the growth of his new "party". Such is "Millennium Falcon".
anywyas, the "main bad guy" is obviousally Griffith, But the Supposed "Demon King" was only a haligram ((If you will)) That can attack physical things.
Idea of Evil is unkillable; it has no concept of death and lies within the underworld itself. The Dragon Slayer is potent enough now to slay the God Hand within the Nexus (where Behelit-Ceremonies occur) but probably not in their base plane of the Vortex.
The only way Idea of Evil can fall is if humanity itself desires its death, which isn't likely; we only heard about the "evil" side of Berserk first because that is the most powerful. Beings like the Elemental Kings are basically forgotten in this "dark age", even though there are always forces of good to contrast those of evil.
-
Well, I suppose my main point better worded would be since we haven't seen any others beside Gattsu or SKull Knight use Berserker armor, who is to say it wouldn't change shape with any person of strong enough will? If power is in things like thought, will and idea, then this is feasable.
Whichever way you read it I think we can safely say Gattsu's inner demons do represent his darker ego (Whether or not it really has a life of its own, in the world of berserk these appear to be not so differnet ideas) and alot of the series is his struggle to retain humanity while using his darkness to conquer enemies.
Such a simple idea really, so many have tried it, but no one has done it like Muira.
-
Hey does anyone know where I can DL (Direct or mIRC) Vol. 32+ of Berserk?
-
Theres no such thing as Volume 32+.
Theres not even such a thing as Volume 32.
Theres only three chapters that will one day join with some other non-existant chapters to become Volume 32.Yes.
Your….....CAUGHT UP.
WAHAHAHAHA!!!
