I'm surprised there isn't any topics about this badass manga. I just started (finally) reading the series to the recent chapter and I'm instantly hooked!

 

Wish it get out of irregular release (I wonder why?)

 

Any more Berserk fans here?

I watched one episode.  :umm:

 

I heard GoT fans would like it, so I gave it a try. Is it really that good? It's so hyped, does it live up to it? I also heard the anime adaption isn't as good as the manga.

 

Maybe I'll give the series another try one day.

The series is good. Watch out though, beware of NSFW stuff: series is full of gore violence, sex and tons of rape scenes, graphic nudity -sometimes-, and very disburbing scenes, including incest.

 

The storyline is great. Characters are likeable (Though I can't stand one of the characters, Griffith... grr..)

 

When reading, be careful because the first 3 volumes will follow Guts and his Monster of the Day journeys while there will be a very, very long flashback in the next 11 volumes on how Guts became the way he is now (and be prepared for the very GRAPHIC event towards the end of the flashback, trust me, it will shock you!)

Berserk is my favourite Manga, but right now it's on break and I hate the waiting.

It needs to get back into schedule. The wait is killer. I just finished reading this manga fully (though skipped some that was boring and scenes that brought Griffith and his "almighty" God/Devil-tier self in the scene), for 3 days.

Yeah I would Like Berserk SO MUCH more if the updates were more frequent. Although the GutsXCasca outcome was kind of tragic too. But yeah anyways this hiatus is killing my liking of the series right now. (Kind of like High School of the Dead) The anti-heroism also has a nice feel to it too. :smile:

 I'm in love with this manga so far, half way through I think, but I won't recommend this for the faint of the heart, but I can say that it's a master piece in terms of development and characters.

 

so yeah :) it's great!

The thing is, the author updates whenever he wants, and the thing seems to have no end in sight. Love this manga; but the gore is overkill. Literally.

Wow, I never realized there wasn't a topic about this masterpiece!  :love: 

I first met Berserk through a Claymore forum, people kept comparing their graphic and disturbing scenes and I had this friend who was completely head over heels for Gutts so I decided to give it a try

 
At first I was like... Okay, this is messed up! My innocence was stolen

 

But someday I woke up and found myself addicted to the storyline...And everything that comes with it.

Berserk turned me into a sadist, lol!

MMMMM, Berserk. That's some gooood stuff. That's some grown-up manga/anime right there. I have about 9 of the manga-volumes currently (planning on expanding at my next convention-run), and maybe buy the anime.

 

As a voice-actor, I love the anime to bits in terms of English voice-over work. Even the out-takes are hilarious:
 

(Slightly NSFW, and it will get more violent as the anime-clips go on. They're hilarious, though.)

DO NOT STOP AT ONE.

I'm a fan, no, I'm a Fan. This manga is a freaking visual masterpiece which explores so many themes in depth! And I've found some similarity between Kishimoto's team seven triangle and Guts/Casca/Griffith.

 

Check out this AMV! (Warning! Spoilers!)

That's another one I like

Restarting this thread, lol.

So I've finally decided to pick up Berserk b/c of the critical acclaim this series gets. Right now, I'm on Ch.32, so in the middle of the Golden Age Arc (or something like that). Just curious: How come many people are saying the quality drops after this arc?

Some of my current thoughts:

- thought Griffifth was a woman when I saw him in Ch.1

- love Guts's and Casca's relationship (reminds me a bit of NaruSaku tbh) I always lol at Casca XD

- had to get used to the art and still have to (especially the women), but the doublepage battle scenes are awesome

- Griffith still looks like a woman to me

- sex and rape scenes- quite a lot I gotta say (I've been spoilered already on that part, about Casca and the consequences :sweat: ). Not that I'm surprised though considering the magazine it's published in: Young Animal

Young Animal

- I keep thinking Griffith is wearing lipstick

I watched the anime series adaptation last semester, absolutely loved the story. I plan on reading the manga soon to find out what happens after where the anime stopped.
