Maybe.
This is what I'm talking about:
(I hope it's okay to post these images - if not I'll remove them asap)
And then there's the big stuff that's spread across both pages that I assume is the Japanese equivalent to RrruuUuuUMMMmmbBBbblllLLEE or AaaaAAhhhHH!! Stuff like that. It's weird that they didn't translate those parts.
Go back to bed, Sonia.
Yup, onomatopoeia. Some publishers redraw them, others don't (it could be argued that they're part of the art, so it's not that simple an issue).
I thought the US edition of Berserk kept them but also added translations/"subtitles" (prefixed with "SFX:"? not sure). Maybe I'm mistaken.
As long as you don't post watermarks pointing to pirate sites or long strings of complete pages, you should be fine, I believe.

Makes sense I guess, but I wish I knew what sounds effects they're trying to convey (sometimes it's clear and sometimes it's not).
There's not anything like that in the first chapter of the first volume. Maybe they added that in later?
Good to know, thanks!

I think it's something Dark Horse started sometime after they'd already been running Berserk. I don't have any of my books around to check though. I honestly just totally ignore the SFX.
edit: Also, I'm totally envious of you being able to read this for the first time. Make sure you get through the first 4 or so volumes before casting any judgement. Things change up quite a bit by volume 3 alone.

Went to a local Gamecraze looking for a certain anime dvd, but instead found the first two Berserk DVDs and got both for $5. I've had the first volume on VHS for years, but I don't have a VCR anymore.
They also had a bootleg complete collection for $60 which is just silly.
Anyway, I've been wanting to check out this series for some time now. I watched the first five episodes long ago, but I didn't care for them at the time. I think some of the violence bothered me or something.

I figured as much.
I won't. I already sort of know what to expect from this series because I've seen the anime, so I've been in the long haul since the beginning!bone_and_sinew

How long until it goes on hiatus again?
Doc Holliday
SPOILER: Columbus finds America
3 chapters tops!
When is there a new Idolmaster something?
May 15
Still lol how the character designer of Idolmaster became the director for the Berserk movies. Gee wonder who hand pick him to do the movies.
This is hilarious :lol
In your face, I'm wearing an anti-Femto chastity belt!
When that new im@s comes out, seriously. Then we'll lose Miura completely once Project Morpheus comes out with a 765Pro office tour.
Dat CG, oog.
I give it 3 chapter, spread over this entire year.
What's your beef with Griffith-sama, huh? You know he's the saviour of mankind, right? You know he will lead mankind to a brilliant future in the eternal kingdom of Falconia (HAIL!), right?!
Playing Idolm@ster?

We need to burn down the idol masters HQ.
Soo...
Chapter with Rickert riding closer to the city.
Chapter with Rickert getting out of the cart, ending with him about to step into the city.
Chapter about the boatride, with no apparent progress and just some discussion of what happened.
Two of those chapters will be recaps.

I love Pokken!
Not sure if i can post links regarding manga scans, but the RAW of the chapter is out.
Next chapter is on May 23rd, unless i'm reading it wrong.

Seems like Hulu has the first 2 of the berserk movies up for a week for free. Is it worth watching if all i have as far as berserk knowledge goes is the tv series?

If you haven't read the manga, yet, you may as well. It just introduces a few more tidbits of detail compared to the TV series, while compressing things quite a bit.

Honestly, who gives a shit at this point?
Miura's going to die long before this story ends, and after the past 15 volumes or so, do you even want to see the end he's planning?
Just search "berserk -
the idea of evil
Next chapter may 23? Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Then Idolmaster will happen and another year hiatus will occur.

traces of idolmaster in this chapter. miura pls :l
Man, Falconia is like the perfect city - everything is so bright, but we all know there must be some fucked up shit going on behind the curtains. Rickert seems to be the only one who sees Griffith in a different light
So glad that Berserk is back. And next one will come out May 23rd, yuuss!
Show the man some respect

There is no "normal release schedule".
I think this series went to shit when Guts met with the little witch and the series became Guts and his happy friends instead of Guts and the horrible world.
I still buy every issue, but the series is shit. The art has become obsessive instead of stylish and clear. Every page is a chore to go through. The writing is fucking horrible (which wasn't a big problem before because the focus was in the world, monsters and grimdark).
Sigh.

Gutts' friends may be happy but Gutts himself is definitely not. Each major encounter seems to be taking a heavy toll on his body and he's on a biological timer. It's not all rainbows and sunshine for him. And you never know if they are going to get wiped out.
While I agree that the earlier volumes were better, I do appreciate the different side of Berserk in the more high fantasy stuff. Although knowing Miura even the pretty unicorns probably hide a dark secret.

I don't know what manga you are reading, but the world is still disgustingly horrible. The kids have very much a similar role as his war buddies in earlier parts. They are part comical relief, part giving Guts something to keep a touch of his humanity & having something to fight for. There's still plenty of horrible stuff happening.
And this is simply not true:
He still draws plenty of clear panels while also having some stuff (city scenery, some batshit insane monster designs etc.) that has insane attention to detail, just like he's always done (though, he has improved, the very early chapters are more clumsily drawn than his drawings nowadays).
Talk about hyperbole. Good lord.
