>you gotta watch Berserk man, It’s amazing >I don’t like Anime >But it’s different, it’s more like European Medieval Fantasy
So I decided to watch the movies because they would be shorter. And holy shit, as I finished the second one I was really impressed. I was willing to admit I was wrong. Then the third movie went full Anime and ruined all my goodwill. This is the problem with all Anime, eventually. It can’t stop itself from being anime. What the fuck IS this?
Also they're technically movies, they can be on this board, fuck off, I'm not going to Yea Forums
>Then the third movie went full Anime Which part are you referring to?
Aiden Campbell
>you watched the movies because they would be shorter Dude, fuck you. You watch 97 first period if you "watch" it. Like I mean you just made a massive mistake, I don't know what else to tell you.
Cameron Wood
>watching the movies you fucked up just read the manga or the 1999 version if you're scared of reading
Hunter Watson
anime sucks you should read manga
Parker Walker
>Then the third movie went full Anime Are you not aware how utterly retarded you sound?
Jack Sanders
Hey guys is it just me or is OP a massive retarded homo douche?
Samuel Gonzalez
Why did she kiss the guy that was raping her?
Joseph Torres
it's just you, gay loser
Joshua Wood
casca liked it
Easton Baker
eclipse is kino you faggot
Logan Smith
You're saying this doesn't happen in the Manga?
Because one moment I'm watching a cool character drama and the next I'm in an LSD-induced nightmare realm where Falcon Head suddenly becomes an evil lunatic tentacle-fucking his loyal friend and wanting revenge on the guy he was clearly in love with for...saving his ass?
Substitute Jared Leto for Griffith and I can accept this even though the whole thing is uncastable, but this is probably as close as it could get if it was made today.
Jaxon Long
>wanting revenge on the guy he was clearly in love with for...saving his ass? You didn't really pay attention did you?
Parker Peterson
>draw a girl It's just a faggot looking guy you weird fuck.
Dominic Kelly
Griffith is a faggot pussy that got btfo hard and ruined everything trying to cope with Charlotte
Isaac Thomas
The manga is much better.
Kevin Turner
It clearly is, he has no hand later on.
Camden Wright
*to the tune of tell me why* YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF FUCKING KILL YOURSEEELF TELL YOUR MOTHER IM GONNA KILL MYSELF CUT YOUR PENIS OFF NOTHIN WILL GO WONG There's no way, there's no way, you're not a tranny
Grayson Lewis
holy fuck you didnt pay attention to anything did you jesus christ, slide this shit thread
Christian Evans
This is why you read the mango
Blake Morgan
This is b8
Aaron Smith
Literally this. It really is like he went full faggot for Guts and blew everything.
Adrian Sullivan
What's your problem with anime, asshole? Why won't you embrace it? Also the Eclipse in the 3rd movie was beautifully animated
I hate myself for this but I really want to see Isabella going through the eclipse.
Easton Baker
so Guts cheated on Casca?
Grayson Hall
That is one of the first pages
Blake Johnson
is this one of those animes that Yea Forums spergs out over so it has to be posted on Yea Forums in order to have any real discussion about it? I hate anime threads but I'm willing to tolerate exceptions like this where there's no other place to talk about it.
Cooper Cook
>not wanting that crazy demon pussy Casca was a vegetable anyways
Luke Gomez
Yea Forums doesn't talk about Berserk now because it's on hiatus
only animeonly faggots post these threads
Gabriel Cooper
No, it literally is the very first page of Berserk
Daniel Young
Which happened after the eclipse you dummy
Benjamin Long
this, but also be sad
Thomas James
>watching the shitty movies lel
Oliver Peterson
I know but that page is after Guts left Casca in dummy mode to kill apostles
Cooper Perez
absolutely
Lucas Brown
either watch the old 90's shit or read the manga. It's well known that every adaption after that is complete trash. Pic related
>fix caska >almost reunite her with guts >cut to pointless griffith bullshit >hiatus for a year miura I will fucking slaughter you
Benjamin Morris
I can just hear him raffing right now, the bastard
Easton Roberts
Maybe he wasn't thinking too deeply about it during the first fucking chapter?
Chase Sullivan
He has this long ass dream sequence where he realizes that the ends justify the means and that he should do anything for his goal.
Justin Wilson
As you can see, not even Yea Forums is safe from sperging.
Please explain to me why the fuck the over-the-top anime Demon plot was necessary here? Why was the ridiculous demon-rape necessary?
Well, we CAN do it, so we should. That's the anime way. Always go as ridiculous as possible
William Morgan
the unrelated blackswordman story before that it's even worst like what the fuck was the point
Camden Johnson
Didn't Casca have a panic attack after seeing Guts for the first time since recovering? Think that was the last chapter.
Luke Miller
Yea Forums it's for moeshit only
Jack Edwards
Whoever told you to watch the movies was an asshole. They skip over so much content that I don't see how anyone is supposed to give a shit about any of the characters or anything that's happening if that's all they've seen. I see it as a companion piece to the manga at best, and a waste of money and time at worst.
Just read the manga. The '97 anime is pretty good too- it skips most of the supernatural stuff but leaves in and even builds on the character interactions between the mercenaries.
Elijah Sanders
It started out as a dark medival fantasy, why does he need to justify the existence of demons, rape, and stuff like that?
Gavin Jackson
see
Dylan Bennett
I agree
Caleb Hill
Never mind your why, why ain't in your repertoire no more nigga
Friendly reminder that it's been confirmed that Eddie Vedder recorded a song that plays during the Berserk finale. It confirms Casca never gets her mind back.
Tyler Young
studio 4C movie trilogy is not bad actually, I'd rate it higher than 90s studio pokemon adaptation I've read the manga, but not everyone wants to, dark horse made enough shekels selling the english translation, not like THAT FUCK MIURA is gonna get of his lazy gook ass if everyone reads his shitty manga
Kayden Foster
you say that like its a bad thing
Bentley Lewis
>It confirms Casca never gets her mind back. you even read the last chapters? she did
Carson Cruz
It's still strange that there was never any kind of explanation for this later on considering how ridiculously out of character it is for Guts once we learn more about him. It sets the tone, sure, but in retrospect it's one of the bigger inconsistencies with the manga.
Isn't there like over 30 volumes and it's still not finished? I don't like comics that just aimlessly go on and on and on for decades, they just lose the plot and nothing gets resolved
Easton Green
he just wanted a suck and fuck
Xavier Rivera
It was practically the pilot. As the manga went on the tone changed and it was no longer relevant. Just like how edgy guts will never return.
Carter Myers
They’re was 2-3 chapters after she sees guts and remembers the eclipse, it’s just Griffith and the nuhawks killings ogres or some shit
Judging by publication dates, wasn't casca a vegatable for like 20 years? Kek
Jace James
Why do people have such a massive fanatical boner for this part of the manga?
James Rodriguez
Watch the series to get a feel for the manga not the movies which are trash then read the Manga including the golden age chapters which you watched happen in the anime series
Robert Stewart
I always imagine her with red/brown hair, Green is too much snowflake shit and don't fit the aesthetic
Blake Martinez
40 volumes actually when will the bloody story end? It's the same with AoT. Damn thing's gonna drag to volume 1000 before it ends. ESL Miura thought it was a cool name.
Anthony Davis
>It's just a faggot looking guy you weird fuck.
To be fair, it's hard to Japanese males and females apart.
She's always had green hair. But yeah, until I saw the color prints after having somehow missed them for years, I always thought her hair was reddish-brown somehow. The really weird thing is that Ysma (the merrow girl) has bright teal hair for whatever fucking reason.
Imagine being so mentally retarded that you can't understand the basic plot and character motivations of Berserk
Carter Cook
miura is a fucking hack that will never finihs the fucking manga >aesthetics art has been getting progressively worse for the last decade, he has an assistant draw half the pages
>ESL Miura thought it was a cool name. I mean why does she exist
Ayden Powell
its just more work to do.
Wyatt Ramirez
That a girl or a boy in the white jacket? It's like looking at a live action scene from that gay skating anime.
Mason Taylor
So basically the Queen elf made her a fuck dress?
Sebastian Wood
Looks like a guy to me right there.
Dylan Peterson
Because it was a perfect self contained narrative with fairy pusy on display
Brody Phillips
>That a girl or a boy in the white jacket
Yes.
David Hernandez
ESL Miura thought it would be ebin to have a baka sorceress who's also a midget.
Owen Taylor
It'll sure be nice when we finally see Casca again in 2024.
Gabriel Garcia
It's the only part of the manga you get edgelord Guts without a gay DnD party accompanying him
Elijah Scott
>anime >character motivations
Yea Forums has been taken over by incels.
Jonathan Allen
loli*
Chase Sanders
what did he mean by this?
Noah Hughes
Another Yea Forums approved thread
Levi Morales
Nips like work though
Dylan Cruz
wtf Ysma have blue hair?! for good sake Miura Griffith having White hair is already strange enough but now having every new character a new hair color is retarded
David Martin
Costs too much to print
It's a relief because character hair colours inevitably end up fucked up
as big and as deep as he wants i imagine. guy's practically a god.
Chase Brown
well the thing is, that story you watched is more of an epilogue to the main story of berserk. You basically just scratched the surface.
I would highly recommend anyone that likes berserk to watch the show Claymore, it's with cute monster girls slaying monsters. Very unique setting, vibe, character design, nice music. Its only problem is the ending, but the ride is amazing. I binged it in one day
THIS IS WORSE THAN THE TIME I SACRIFICED MY MEN TO BECOME A GOD HAND
Jose Gonzalez
I lost interest in Berserk completely. Strange, 10 years ago I thought it was a masterpiece
Jackson Morgan
The animation was never anime's problem, I agree that it can often be very beautiful.
The problem is-are you doing a martial arts Anime? Make sure every character can catch bullets, smash through walls and shoot lasers out of their hands, for example. Everything they do is always over the top
Robert Hall
It was like a old fary tale the pekaaf thing + childrens being molested + bad childhood + tragic end
Elijah Garcia
same. overstayed its welcome really
Sebastian Ward
The author feels the same way.
Jace Jackson
it get old after a time to be honest
Lincoln Davis
>10 years ago I thought it was a masterpiece
We all were 12 at some point.
Liam Ramirez
Holy crap!
Camden Walker
>tfw your favorite character hasn't done anything meaningful in a decade
The size of Guts's sword is good in the movies, in the old anime and manga it's retarded
Camden Cook
Is the manga worth reading? Is the story worth a damn? I don't care about women in armor, I just want a good story that entertains me and doesn't have a shit ending.
Jayden White
Ah, a man of taste as well
Isaiah Torres
>having a cuck as your favorite character lmao he doesn't have a chance against Captain Chad
We won't know if the ending's good or not for another twenty fucking years if we're lucky. It's a great series, but it's notorious for how slowly each chapter comes out. It's been almost a year since the last one was released.
Jordan Morris
I haven't read it yet but have it ready to go so I couldn't tell you. It's a lot more fleshed out than the anime though apparently with a time skip at and continuation where the anime ended.
Jaxson Kelly
This.
When I watched it the first time, it blew my mind that the first episode was the last one and everything was a flashback.
Jacob Brooks
>he isn’t reading berserk You are literally retarded and don’t deserve an opinion
Why does everyone hate the movies? It's like hating Drgon Ball Z Kai. Oh, how dare they focus on the good and important stuff and leave out years and years of pointless filler! The filler is what it's all about! And that clearly superior animation! Fuck the movies! 90s kids fo life
Ryan Cook
based i read quite a bit after i finished the anime, it's the only anime that made me read the manga out of curiosity, and honestly i prefer how it ended in the anime. It gets too over the top and dragged on in the manga. Anime is absolutely amazing, and never seen anything like it since then, despite the somewhat botched ending.
Jack Allen
schierke is a cute, funny character
Ryan Sullivan
For your own sake, I hope you're pretending to be retarded.
Hudson Peterson
Anime is just a technique man... it can actually be used to tell good stories.
I like how Shierke is in love with Guts and how she and Farnese tried to cope after watching Guts talking about Casca with Roderick in the boat lmao
Brayden Gutierrez
At a certain point the author is just milking their own work. My favorite manga is Blade of the Immortal, which had the integrity to actually fucking end despite being popular. And even that one dragged a bit too long
You seem to have the attention span of the average capeshit fan
Brody Allen
You fuckin retard it has a lot to do with the animation. Also if you really fuckin gave a half of a shit you'd know the condensing of the material is just too fast, there's no way around that.
Only watched a few episodes of the 90's anime but don't really know the story much, why is Peter Griffith hated so much by everyone? I remember him being a hero or something.
Matthew Thomas
>24 20 minute episodes >8 hours
>3 movies >5 hours
doesn't seem particularly egregious. And the animation in the movies is far superior to the old show, you're blind if you think that show doesn't show it's age
Asher Myers
>and doesn't have a shit ending Well you wont have to worry about that
Easton Stewart
because is a faggot Judas
Adrian Fisher
Tilda Swinton
Ryan Young
AoT is nearing the end date. Everything is coming together before collapsing into violent chaos.
Robert Murphy
>And the animation in the movies is far superior to the old show yeah but the tone is off in the films Berserk's essence is captured better in 97's minimalist style
Ryder Jones
Narratively Berserk is close to ending. It's just going to take 20 years real time to get there
Jace Bell
You know what, why don't you just go back to playing grabass on the football field and making out with your boyfriend who's "not your boyfriend because you definitely aren't gay" and stop trying to fit in you fuckin faggot.
Joshua Roberts
>Ending
Good one mate
Aaron Reed
All of the anime adaptaions of this has been garbage If you havent watched berserk go read the manga 10000% better If you already watched the anime you ruined the experience already
Kevin Reed
>well how's the ending in Claymore?
Shit
Matthew Moore
Casca may have been healed, but Guts' crew still has no means of confronting Griffith's army. We're still a ways off from any sort of conclusion.
Grayson Green
It didnt go full anime, it went full hellraiser. The manga went full retard after the fact though
Camden Bailey
Do you think Miura is going to live into his 70s without finishing it? I mean he's 52 now.
Carter Nguyen
That's hot. Webm to fap?
Kevin Price
Skull Knight shenanigans + demons doing demons things
Easton Diaz
>WATCHING berserk what a retard
Robert Thompson
Nigga please, like I would ever pretend not to be gay. I have the privilege of not having to deal with women, I would never dishonor that gift. And yeah, Falcon Head was gay for Guts
Luis Garcia
>but Guts' crew still has no means of confronting Griffith's army. Guts doesn't but Rickert is on his way to forming one
Carson Roberts
Skull Knight got punked hard, and the demons are all on Griffith's side. Seriously, we need to have some major plot developments before we can even consider ending this thing. Maybe Rickert manages to use Kushan's resources to make a modern Sherman Tank division or something, but until that happens it's all up in the air.
Zachary Ortiz
did they fugg?
Leo Howard
Anything can work in live action, if done right. Good luck approving all the R rated stuff and getting a large budget though. Plus, it would have to be a series with the game of thrones quality and budget.
Parker Long
The smart move would be to pull a Toriyama and just write the story and have one of his apprentices take over full time
>inb4 buh muh art
It's been shit since he switched to digital anyway
Oliver Hernandez
He's only gonna get griffith and few of the leaders and the rest of the apostles will disband after Falconia comes crashing down. It's not like Guts is gonna take on the whole god hand either, and it's not like it'd make a difference.
No, but the loli got to watch the guy fuck his hot brown girlfriend.
Jaxson Thomas
>showing its age is bad >old=bad >BINGBING WAHOO BINGBINGBINGBINGBINGBINGBING DUDE WEED AND FROOT LOOPS RICK AND MORTY LOL *PLAYS NINTENDO SWITCH* WATCH YOUR PRIVILEGE SHITLORD MY PRONOUNS ARE XE XIM AND XER MEAL REPLACEMENT DRINKS
Oliver Reed
nice post pics
Dylan Sanders
the anime is actually pretty good don't listen to this memer the NOT post 2010's anime that is
Wyatt Johnson
Netflix are in talks for the rights.
Anthony Thomas
not in today's live action
Jonathan Ramirez
>watching anything related to Berserk other than the 1997 anime
The movies are garbage. You did yourself a disservice. But yeah Golden Age is best arc
Jack Davis
He still have the plot armor sword and the demons will fuck up after a time the Ex bakiraka wants Griffiths head also they don't have enough demons to fight all the magic monster in the world
It wasn't great, but seeing Theresa come back was a good way to tie things off.
Grayson Lewis
If you look at the golden age arc as a separate complete story as I like to do, Eclipse was a nice metaphor for betrayal. It's very bad. Worse than what Guts and co are used to as medieval mercs. If Griff just sacrificed them in some casual battle for some shitty title the effect would be lost. Feeding your friends to demons for becoming a Demon Prince is more like it.
Jayden Johnson
This is a manga, if Guts doesn't take on the whole of God Hand it's not gonna be fun to read about it. This isn't supposed to be all realistic and grounded you mong
Nathaniel Price
>if griffith betrayed them in battle it wouldn't have the betrayal effect of him feeding them to demons Holy fucking shit I have never heard anything more plebian. You must have loved the new Star Wars because it was bigger and better right? Get the fuck off here.
Tyler Cooper
This is when he was at his edgiest, willing to do anything to get close enough to deliver the killing blow
Oh my god dude I can't even believe I'm hearing some cunt say this. I'm not the guy you were replying to, but you need to get your faggot zoomer ass straight fucking to reddit where you came from and livestream your suicide you fucking worthless philistine.
James Price
how the people could see Puck in the first chapter?
Elijah Stewart
manga artist is already a work on par with third world nuclear materials cleanup crew or shark bait in terms of health
Bentley Ward
The only requirement for seeing Puck is that you have to believe in the supernatural. A bunch of superstitious hicks in bumfuck nowhere are probably fine. Puck himself says that it's usually only people in densely-populated or highly religious towns that have trouble seeing him.
Dominic Russell
Her and Sheirke have a cool dynamic
Jayden Perez
>Leaf and nips getting along well
This is shocking to me
Jacob Allen
cock blocker, smug cunt I know every you dumb haha the character, I wish Ganishka won
Kevin Brown
You're supposed to read it, not watch it you pleb.
Grayson Johnson
from my memory, could be wrong, it's only been 2, maybe 4, years from the eclipse to the current point of the story.
Kayden Torres
Did you have a stroke user or are you just a dumb phoneposter
Aaron Adams
Leafs are like 90 percent nips and 8 percent jihadi mudslime.
Grayson Gonzalez
She has green hair because its going to be revealed that shierke is the flower spirit that healed guts reborn, which is why she can commune with nature spirits so easily (even old ones who cant be normally summoned), the witch's nickname for her was "daughter of the forest" and why she felt she knew guts upon first meeting him, despite her own admission that shes never met him
because Guts is stabbed in the face and he only gets angrier. It just becomes hilarious and the artwork is sublime
Michael Taylor
>because Guts is stabbed in the face and he only gets angrier kek I forgot about that. the whole arc is maximum edgelord too >a barn full of children on fire that guts just chops in half
Camden Watson
>Then the third movie went full Anime Then you went full retard.
Benjamin Diaz
Why did Miura stop writing it? Bored?
Charles Bennett
What was the longest hiatus?
Mason Long
It's fucking kino and a little bit of rape doesn't change that
Parker Garcia
to bee honest, they become children after. I mean, not that it would stop Guts at that point but whaddyaknow
Benjamin Cook
he unironically prefers playing idolmaster than working on berserk
Asher Martinez
He survive as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire him
Brody Gray
That plot was always there you fucking retard. It's foreshadowed with the egg around his neck, and they fight Zod in the 2nd part
Lucas Phillips
>"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted >The Godhand said "No, Griffith. You are the demons" >And then Griffith raped Caska..
Julian Gutierrez
90% of berserk fans have only seen the GA movies because they were on netflix they also love it because the anime eclipse has their pseudo-80s neon aesthetic and guts is portrayed as a betrayed misunderstood loner in this specific cut it quite literally ends with the eclipse. they don't even see the aftermath.
Wyatt Phillips
i dont get the hateboner for the trilogy movies. it has skull knight and that griffith vision scene is fucking amazing
Wyatt King
It's not even close, berserk is probably the best anime out there. Claymore is just entertainment
Christian Martinez
What was the point of this panel Seriously fuck Japan
Hunter Walker
Manga is shit
Leo Sanders
why do people say GUts is gay for Griffith when in the beginning he was disgusted by his possible faggottry?
Easton Howard
Guts is deeply closeted. Remember when he splashed water around with a nude Griffith and loved it? Full homo 2bh
Sounds like what you really liked about it was the golden age arc, despite the fact that you basically skipped it by not watching the 1999 series. It builds up to the climax very effectively, the pacing is perfect, and the art style is 10 times better.
You seem like you want a Water Margin focusing more on character's internal struggle, rather than purely moral qualities
I wouldn't defend the art or prioritize it in any way these days. We all know that's over. My last concern is him just writing and finishing it while he's still alive.
Anything else like Berserk but that doesn't overstay its welcome? Intro was good, Golden age was great, the pope was meh and all this scooby doo gang shit is mediocre.
Andrew Perry
The movies and the anime should only serve to get people to read the manga as neither tell a full story and both are severely lacking in a finale. The 97 anime has more character development it then holds back on sex and violence and doesnt even include skull knight because they were retarded so guts just jump cut teleports out of the eclipse and that it.
Likewise the movies skip like 60% of the back story and subplots from the golden age manga but they do include a lot more sex & violence and have a somewhat better confusion but it's still a "to be continued...go read the manga" ending.
Since both only work as a gateway to the manga for anyone unsure if they want to read a 40 volume ongoing manga which may never be finished I would recommend watching the movies to get into the books (and have to 4 people irl). This way or gives a base example on a short amount of time of what the manga will be like and when that person does read the manga 60% of it will be brand new content to them and not just a rehash of shit theyve already seen.
Isaac Robinson
Doesn't this guy realizes that Griffith made a mistake by fucking the princess by trying to use her as consolation prize for the departure of Guts, he was tortured and blamed Guts for everything.
Julian King
>superior to berserk >the only female-centric shonen
I understand the effort involved but this shit looks like garbage and it's seriously disheartening to think of all the people who do this same kind of animation these days. It's really dogshit.
Isaac Young
but Dom Farnese is best girl
Austin Gomez
Will Rickert and....Sophia? I think it is
Will they be older when Guts and Co get back from the elf island? I thought there was supposed to be a time dilation thing going on
What you're saying is reasonable. I really just think the 97 anime is the purest way to "watch" it to get into anything else if you don't just read the manga in the first place. I still just think it's the pinnacle animated approach if you don't start with the manga.
