13-15, lolicon bastard

Last year we reached the 1 chapter per month rate.

When did you grow out of Berserk?

I was a big Berserk fan before i got into Hunter x Hunter around a year ago. Then, hiatus of both series started killing me and i decided to re-read Berserk from the beginning. After than i realised that i actually don't enjoy Berserk after Lost Children.

I'm gonna write memoirs and call it "Dr. Hunterlove or: How I Learned to Stop Caring About Berserk and Love the Bomb"

>he already has so much money that he doesn't really need to work anymore

I can totally understand him just not wanting to draw any more of it at this point.

i lost track of the plot already

I don't even care anymore

Stop bullying Berserkfags, niggers. They know our pain.

Yeah dude, ants so deep. Talk for 30 minutes with redundant dialogue about what move the opponent is gonna use

He's probably not going to draw it himself anymore. Didn't he say that the entire point of Duranki was to get his assistants up to the Berserk standard, so that he could finally get to the point where he can scribble a storyboard and let them do the rest? Once that arrangement pans out, I think we'll see Berserk return to a fairly consistent release schedule.

Is there a Berserk chart?

at least berserk has drawings on its pages, nigger

Give up, it won't help, you should've give up on the boat.

Now with Casca healed just how much is there left to cover? Berserker armour, God Hand and Skull Knight origin, Griffth's defeat.

I picked it up recently and just caught up. This fucking chapter still fills me up with tears. I never asked for this feel

Attached: CHICH.jpg (1132x1600, 514K)

Berserk hits a lot harder emotionally, fellow Hunterchad. It isn't meant to make you think, just feel. There's no fucking debate about the morality of apostles or killing them. It's all about the struggle of a man refusing to lay down and die despite the whole world wanting him to.

I was hoping for a mini arc for each of the elite Apostles like Lucien and Grunbeld.

Why don't you just watch another shonenshit instead?

Because we're not you, user.

I wonder if there is a specific reason for why Guts seems to attract so many faeires. It's probably because of the brand possibly but he seems to be a magnet for them.

No, you're the one eating shonenshit.

It's been a while since I've actually read that chapter but was Guts just imagining that faerie from deliriousness or was she real? None of the guards saw her if I recall and there's no evidence to say she existed to proof her existence to anyone but Guts

Fuck it.

Her reality isn't any more technically ambiguous than anything else supernatural Guts has seen before Griffith's rebirth. Obviously the guards didn't see anything, since them squares working for the man aren't able to see fairies.

I'm honestly amazed that they ever got off the boat. Boatserk had been around for as long as I could remember. Looking back through the chapters, they get on the boat at the very end of chapter 278, which was in 2006, though at least the entire Emperor vs Griffith plot happens right after 278 before it fully switches to the gang sailing.

They're playful and innocent. They're probably attracted to people they also perceive as innocent as a result. Guts, though literally boiling over with uncontrollable rage towards the apostles and Griffith, is still pretty much a boy at heart. He tries protecting his friends, he doesn't want others to get hurt around him, he hates bad guys and does what he can to impede them, he is still holding onto his girlfriend years after she was made into a potato, and he's loyal to a fault. He has bad thoughts running through his mind in the form of an uncontrollable nightmare wolf and he tries to push them away, he is impulsive and is always shouting, etc. He's honestly only starting to mature on Skellig, and it's thanks to his adventures with his new friends teaching him that he can communicate with others.

pretty much.
iirc Schierke said that elves, faries and other creatures from tha astral plane are visible to those with pure heart, or something along those lines. Adults with a concrete worldview are blind to seeing such creatures, hence there were many people who couldn't see puck or others. That's why they were visible to kids mostly. That was the case beofre the skull knight event which opened the doors for all these creatures to enter the "real world". I hope this makes some sense

if you have a rigid worldview you wont be able to see the supernatural. perhaps the guards followed the holy see

Not to suck Miura's dick but the fantasia arc has some pretty trippy art. I can't blame him for taking so long to finish a chapter. He may need a fuckton of psychedelics to come up with some of this art

this was actually a reference to another piece of art that being said i hope hes just drawing chapters in batches to release monthly when theyre all completed

That is just a piece he stole from Bosch.

Yup that's an homage to Jerome Bosch's work

Not surprised but I'ma pretty oblivious fag when it comes to art but still i stand by my argument. I believe it takes a lot of time to draw in such detail in a short amount of time. He's also getting older which, I assume may have made him a bit slower. Thanks for the clarification though

Attached: 0307-021.jpg (2263x1600, 677K)

yeah i believe theres an interview about his editors telling him he's too obsessed about the details in his art

I feel like there are only 3 ways for Berserk to end at this point. Berserk could get a rushed ending that tries to finish the story in a super quick way, like Guts suddenly teleporting near Griffith and then both of them kill each other. There could be a cliffhanger ending that is basically just a random page that says "and the adventure continues!" at the bottom and doesn't resolve the plot at all. Final option would be straight up cancelation at a random point in the middle of it all, either because of Miura deciding to finally quit or dying. I really doubt Berserk will get a well paced and thought out ending with how little it even gets updated.

I imagine a few readers would top themselves after that let down.

Basically shit for the last ten years.
Thanks maria.

If I remember correctly his assistant is the one drawing it. Which means he literally has someone drawing the stuff he wants to.

And that's the difference between an author who respects an audience's intelligence and one who supplements a lack of interesting ideas with constant exposition.

Miura should just let someone competent make a VN

I'll never read this shit until its finished, despite all the great things I hear about it. So never.

I'm seriously surprised at this point that someone who can draw hasn't just ended up continuing where Miura left off and finish it themselves.

Berserk is in the homestretch while HxH is doing fuck all to come full circle.

Berserk and HxH is in the same shithole and you'll soon be able to pinpoint the last time you genuinely enjoyed HxH as well and how many years it's been since then. You're better off dismissing them both as neverending shit.

>Miura
>art
Miura is a great illustrator (not that is any hard for any mangaka to be one if they actually wanted to put the effort on it), but as an artist, he is just average, specially after the golden arc where he is creatively bankrupt and has been on decline with everything looking more and more off and stiff since then.
His paneling always flows a little bad, and after 30 years dedicating 80% of the manga to shitty fights, the hack can't still draw an action scene that flows nicely even if you aim a gun at him.

For fuck's sake Miura, update already. I REALLY want to see how Skull Knight explains his little oopsie to the gang.

Yes, this is the case. He might still work on important scenes or splash pages but yeah, he's finally learning that he needs to actually use his assistants.

HxH is so far behind. It's not even CLOSE to being in the homestretch. Anyone believing that Togashi will finish it just needs to stop hoping. We aren't even in the middle of this current arc.

At least with Berserk, Miura might just say "fuck it" and let the anime finish it, with how close everything is to being over in comparison.

I fully expect that as soon as Duranki is done and Berserk exits hiatus that we'll be in the beginning of the final act. Everything is set up. Guts restored Casca and is leaving with Skull Knight, Griffith has his kingdom and unlocked fast travel, I think we're going to head right into it at a consistent pace.

>Casca finally recovers
>Nothing happens

Miura looked at Togashi and said he could do better at Nothinghappeness

It's painfully obvious Miura doesn't know how to continue the story.
He doesn't know what to do with Casca and he doesn't know how Guts could possibly kill Griffith.
Years worth of hiatus didn't help, it only got worse as the story gets closer to the point where these two issues have to be adressed.

I've honestly lost almost all hope of seeing this manga get a satisfying ending.

Hunter x Hunter pretty much already has come full circle. The goal from chapter 1 was to find Ging, Ging was found and Gon's story as it related to the original narrative is over. What we have now is Togashi playing in the world that he created and it could go on forever if he really felt like it.

Unironically believing that closure for Gon was a natural ending for HxH is the ultimate cope for brainlet Togashit Zombies that sucked into following this series and being that it would be completed one day.

something something born on the precipice of life and death. Something something pointy ears.

Attached: 1417749635869.png (353x500, 36K)

Having a satisfying ending to a story spinning for 3 decades is basically impossible. This amount of time just elevates expectations to something that is unreachable, Miura would have to do some kind of berserker revival for the last arcs or something and literally just top itself multiple times for people to consider it satisfying.

Hush, struggler. It is time for dreams now.

Not a cope, just a fact. The driving force of the story was Gon's desire to find Ging. Ging was found. I'm sorry that you got traumatized by huntershitposting.

Always, whenever the question formulates itself it already carries the answer.

We’ll get one once Duranki ends and then it’ll be regular or at way more often than now publishing that’s what Miura has planned he recognizes that he’s taking a while and is training assistants

You guys don't get it. Miura is just piling up work for his big comeback. Next time Berserk returns it'll be uninterrupted until the end.

He's on a hidden treehouse with Takehiko Inoue so they can synchronize and release together! You'll see, you will all see!

Why did he rip off yugioh?

He's had assistants since before Ganishka fucking died. That was first when "Studio GAGA" started popping on the credit pages and also he already had Gighantomakia for that explicit purpose i remember it vividly.

Miura doesn't want anyone to help him he's just stalling like usual. Don't believe his lies.

The odds are higher we get another chapter of Gigantomakhia featuring Prome just pissing in Delos' mouth for 60 pages than Miura ever finishing Berserk. You all know I'm right too.

>another chapter of Gigantomakhia featuring Prome just pissing in Delos' mouth for 60 pages
From your lips to god's ears user.

Fast travel gets unlocked near the end of RPGs and skull knight can give Guts that ability. There's also the leylines. Guts and gang can be in Falconia instantly to get things blowing up fast.

Option 4: Guts gets over his desire for revenge, averting a fate similar to Skull Knight, and lives happily ever after with Casca. Griffith gets soul-eaten by the moonlight child.

when was the last time guts saw griffith?

He's never left it hanging long enough for a real writefag or artfag to seriously consider an attempt. If we get a multiyear hiatus someday, that's probably when someone would step up, if ever.

Absolute hack writing trying to fake complexity. Togashi is a joke.

The western studio that did Castlevania wants to do Berserk. At this point I think it would be better than another shit japanese studio.

Was there anything more enjoyable than that series of chapters where a punch-drunk Guts is trying to simulatenously fight off demons and protect Casca, all while she hates him and is trying to run away?

It might be one of the most depressingly beautiful parts to the whole series.

Why do HxH shitposters have this weird obsession with Berserk lately? It's pretty bizarre considering that the only thing they have in common is long hiatuses.

iirc, he said that he had lost interest in the story and wanted to pursue different themes and areas, and also said that it's unlikely he will come back to it any time soon if at all. Take it with a big grain of salt though, it's been years since I have read it and I don't remember where either.

>Can you blame us though. Every manga i love is dead.
I can.
Have you ever laughed at someone for being actually upset over something you thought silly? Maybe at people going crazy over things that became cultural punching bags like the end of Game of Thrones, the great shipping butthurt of Naruto and Bleach several years ago or Justin Bieber at the end of the 2000s?
Well, being obsessive or upset over [insert X manga here] for [insert Y reason here] is silly, user.
Having such an unhealthy attachment to something that is meant as entertainment is going against its essence. You're mourning something that was never alive and was suppossed to bring you enjoyment.
Look at Peter. He's actually dead. His family, friends and followers mourned him the time they needed, but that was almost 10 years ago, there's nothing to get for feelling bad about it today. The people that knew and loved him have his memories to cherish, and the rest of us can still cherish the music he made.
If people are able to say their final goodbyes to a loved one who will never return (something almost all of us will have to do at some point) and appreciate the good times they had with them, then all of you can value a piece of media for what it is and say your goodbyes when the time for it to be over (be it with or without an ending) comes.
And if you ever miss it, you can always revisit it.

>Have you ever laughed at someone for being actually upset over something you thought silly?
Yes but I'm also guilty as I've been there before. Looking back I can only get dissappointed about the time wasted on such cily things

Totally agree

Partly agree. An abrupt ending, or death in Steele's case, leaves people with a lack of closure. Many people, myself included have trouble dealing with such an abrupt ending. I don't get upset over hiatuses or the bleach rushed ending and I'm pretty apathetic to most things but I'm a cunt if I'm honest with you. What comes to mind is a friend of my brother who died in a car crash 4 years ago and he left behind a devastated mother and brother. What I want to say is that people getting upset over an abrupt end is not the same to put them all in the same category. Me personally, I'm not upset, just dissappointed. I'm not sure I make any sense but I didn't expect you to put the effort on replying to a play on words on a Type-O-negative song.

It would be a hell of a lot easier if Miura gave us a clean break. Rather than a sudden "death" by heart attack, Berserk has been more or comatose for 15 years. Unfortunately, it occasionally shows signs of brain activity every year or so that give false hope that it could someday recover, albeit as a shadow of its former self. It's hard to let go and remember the good times together when there's a decaying almost-corpse on the bed in front of you, and the doctor in charge keeps putting off pulling the plug.

>It's hard to let go [...]
It's not. You know all that time you spend not reading or thinking about it while waiting for new chapters? Just continue to do that when something new comes out instead of getting your hopes up for the 9001st time.

Don't worry user, you do.

>Just continue to do that when something new comes out

Eh. I've managed to ignore Berserk for several years at a time, but unless I avoid all anime/manga discussion, sooner or later I hear about it when a new chapter comes out. And like any erstwhile friend, sometimes you want to catch up with it, even if you end up regretting it afterwards. If you're capable of completely ghosting stories you've followed for over 20 years, well, that's genuinely good for you. For me, Berserk still hasn't reached the point where my disgust with Miura's mishandling of it outweighs my past fondness for it.

I have honestly tried over the course of several years to write up an "Ending" to Berserk in a novelization fanfic form, but every time we get an update, I keep gaining hope that he'll continue, I drop the project I'm working on because he says he will return to monthly, and then we wind up back here, where I'll start again and repeat the process.

There's also the fact that Miura keeps adding strikingly new elements to the setting so frequently. I started this project back when we were on the fucking boat. I had no idea that Elf Island was even going to be real, much less successful at fixing Casca. Falconia didn't seem like it was going to be as relevant as it would be, and I would have never guessed we'd be getting split stories between Guts and Griffith running parallel. And I'm absolutely not the only one who has had this problem. God help any poor comic artist who has had to draw page by page by page this exact same thing, but wound up getting dabbed on by Miura in the process.

I can remember what it was it was either a interview with the author or a review but they say berserk is all emotion when it comes to fighting don't think about it in a technical sense like in a boxing manga or fighting manga

The thing is the split story attention would be just fine if it wasn't over a period of fucking 15 years. In terms of the storyline it hasn't been that long at all.

I get sad when I think about the bros who have died and who will die before berserk is finished.

Berserk has a huge amount of impact to its fight scenes and they're extremely kinetic. I genuinely don't get why people think this is worse than having several paragraphs describing each strike as it happens.

At this point, the sensible option would be to pick the point at which you thought Berserk started to go to shit and rewrite the ending from there, rather than trying to accommodate the drip-feed of new story elements Miura occasionally turns out.

I really feel for those guys who died between extensively long hiatuses. It's the ones who will never know if Casca got fixed or not that break me. A weeb I knew at an anime convention back in like 2012 was theorizing that Casca would snap out of it when Guts eventually died, and that the story would shift to Casca's quest of redemption. We didn't talk much since, but he killed himself years back, and I know that this guy would have been taken aback (and probably mad about) Casca's return.

I dont like filler so no

Has there ever been a case where a different mangaka continues a series?

The world tree travel was probably introduced simply for the fast travel. I hope there's also a time skip since they're on the island and Griffith has a complete empire by the time they leave

I thought the island itself was the timeskip. By the time they get off lots of time will have passed in the overworld

>you will never live to see Musashi vs Kojiro

lmfao, after rereading it the boat shit wasn't bad but at the time it was beyond frustrating

I will

Yes, but there aren't many examples, and no works of Berserk's style and scope. Shin-chan was spun off into a sequel by assistants, but it's a gag manga so it hardly counts. Cyborg 009 (long-running Jump series from the '60s) got a continuation based on his notes from a team, but apparently it wasn't well-received. I'm sure there are other examples, but it seems to be pretty rare.

become a loli satisfy his needs and make him pay with new chapters of berserk

At this point I'm 110% sure that Miura is going to die a horrible death before we even begin to scratch the surface of an ending.

After decades of dark depressing things, you really find it odd that he's gone the opposite direction?

What are you talking about, he just introduced an island of strong magic users with great powers as allies or teachers, the fact that the world tree can be tapped into, reality itself coming undone as it had been known, he still has his suit that he has not fully succumbed to.
Hell, he doesn't even have to defeat Griffith but find a way to stand in the way of his dream like he has done before, that alone would be a victory for Guts.

Berserk will end on a mutual reconciliation. They will fight each other in the end without hatred, having settled their differences. It will be a full maturation of both characters having fufilled their own dreams. That is why griffith stares longingly as guts leaves in a row boat.

It's not the fan fiction ending people want. But it is what makes the most sense finally.

It's all falseflagging, fans from lesser stratums of shounen need to attack the higher ones to bring it down from the pyramid.

Honestly I was hoping Casca would die and things would go grimdark again, at least there would be some story progression

Like you're trying to do right now? Fuck off

was Qlipoth the last time berserk got super rapey and gorey?
I know griffiths crusading around the country had some splatters but nothing super explicit like the troll rapecave with infants bursting out of the womb killing their host mother and then the troll intestines Slan to top it off

What commentary? What is that page actually saying ABOUT human decision making? It just describes it, without really making a point. It's really just a regular shounen fight with more words on top.

Hunter x Hunter is really damn good. But it isn't some intellectual high brow stuff. Just a good shounen.

His body is still flesh and blood, isn't it?

Just like Zodd, his underling who is centuries old.

I dunno I thought this form he's taken was just an actual flesh and blood human materialization of Femto. Like Jesus Christ being the basic bitch human incarnation of God. Can do magic Godhand shit but still is a flesh and blood man.

Zodd is in his original apostle body. Griffith isn't in the Femto form, he had his body shaped during that funky ritual.

Well, I'm sure if someone decapitates him, he would have some trouble.
But his Femto magic would still be able to easily keep him young. Unless he decides not to stay young out of sympathy to his other human followers (as if).
Zodd is an apostle of flesh and blood and can keep his age in check. Even if Griffith shaped his body back to what it was before the eclipse, it would be pretty easy for him to not age.

Would old man Griffith still be a fuckable twink or a true old man?

Why wouldn't I?

Well the hole point of him taking on human form again was to essentially trick the people of the world into thinking he was not a supernatural being but instead just a really, really, really great leader of men and a true King. It would make sense to go along with the facade with aging.
