It's probably better than I didn't pick this up again. I'm done. Pack it up.

What? You saw the last chapter?
Better than nothing I suppose.

To be fair, the first few episodes really aren't good. Just like OP needs a while to hit its stride, so does Gintama, which happens to be episode 25.

You are actually missing a lot if you are behind 80 chapters or something like

I guess. I'll catch up after YKK. Need to feel good about life begin going down the Shibatora route.
I watched the anime for a bit when it came out. I have to zip through the manga though.
It's almost over anyway so you shouldn't be waiting a long time.
Unless I'm forgetting some bad guy or another leftover plotline, the Wretched Egg is the only thing left now.
Yeah that's the main contributor to the consideration. I can't see it lasting 10 more chapters.

That's one hell of a way to start a chapter.

Number 5 Vols 1 and 2
Matsumoto's style here is radically different from in Takemitsu Zamurai. Where the art from that series was pretty obviously influenced by traditional Japanese painting, Number 5's inspiration is harder to place. It reminds me a bit of psychedelic album covers from the 60s and 70s. It doesn't have the stark compositional purity that Zamurai does, but the more busy approach here does fit the surrealist bent in the story.
Edit: Realized what else the style made me think of--a Phillip Dick novel. I want to see Matsumoto or Daisuke Igarashi do an adaptation of Ubik.

Goddamn.
I can see why it's called berserk now.
Loving the monster designs too. Just flesh everywhere.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou vol 8
Alpha explorations and adventures have been very fun so far. I always wanted to see more of the world and before it was only possible through the old lady's flashbacks and Ayase, but now we got Alpha fully adventuring exploring new cities and places.
The new robot, Nai brought up a good point. We haven't really seen any male robots before. I always thought that Ashinano is just baiting yuri fans, but maybe there is a more interesting reason as to why male robots don't survive that long.

Ugh, poor Gutts. Nobody in the world cares about him at all.
Good riddance to gambino though.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I really hope TWGOK is done with that awful side story crap.

I have no idea why I laughed so hard at this.

The old politician knows what's the deal and I think he's gonna snap in the surgery and kill him.

I like Utsubora's English cover.
It's pretty much similar cover to the Japanese one but the white background somehow makes it better. Also seeing how this will be an omnibus release, I hope they find a way to include the cover for the second volume. I haven't read anything by Nakamura outside of Sora to Hara, but this one has pretty good plot summary so I'm excited it for it.

Weird that this manga is pretty open to nudity, yet uses anime anatomy to censor out griffith's dick.

More Berserk reactions.
YES
YES
It's too glorious to see.
I just want to say that all these people reading Berserk got me to go back and read the first chapter to refresh my memory and I completely forgot it starts with Gutts balls deep in some girl (who then turns into a demon). Talk about setting the tone.

Huh, so I guess this is the first hints of the supernatural in Gutt's life.
Also damn casca, straight up cold blooded towards gutts there.

finally catch up with the manga. man, I wish Griffith die a horrible death, and it was really annoying to watch pretty much every character in the manga worships this guy.
some questions, I probably already know the answer, but just to make sure,

is the disfigured baby that show up from time to time is Guts kid? and it end up being Griffith's host, man I'm hating Griffith even more now

Tokyo Esp part 2/chapter 27
So we go from a protagonist that can phase through walls to one that makes boxes...
Well, this should be fun. Still a billion times better than Ga-Rei.

Man, they really made casca look weak as hell eh?
Also how fucking sharp is gutt's sword? Dude seems like he can cut through anything.

Must resist temptations to reread the manga.
I really have hard time trying to remember Asano's short stories. Also my other problem is trying to keep track of all the characters in the short stories and keep wondering if they appeared in a previous chapter or not just due to their similarity. At least What a Wonderful World has this neat character connections chart.

Guts.
No. Stop.
What are you doing? Gah.
Man, the downfall of griffith and the hawks was amazingly swift. Just one moment of insecurity and frustration, and years of work and ambition just comes crashing down. Fucking griffith.
Also man, the art in this manga can be beautiful.

Hooooooooooooooooooly fuck.
You know, I kinda know the reputation of this manga, but I don't think I can ever be prepared for that. The death, the violence, the horrific hellscape, motherfucking griffith, and the sheer sense of despair.
Fucking griffith man. Sacrificing his platoon to gain godhood, and in the most horrific way possible. Also casca. Poor casca.
The art during the eclipse was so beautiful too. The imagery seems straight out of the divine comedy. The landscape was beautiful, the monster designs were amazing, as are the god hands.
Argh. I think I need to rest for awhile before I continue.
