Awesome, will do. Also saw that Things From Another World has all of them save 2 available for $8.99 at the moment, with some priced even cheaper if they have "nicks or dents." Fighting many urges.

I've heard that the next release is going to be a full volume covering Skull Knight origins and the God Hand, how Skull Knight and Void where such good friends but they both fell in love with Slan.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Guts and Griffith unite through the power of friendship and defeat the god hand and all evil disappears forever and ever, the end.
Guys I'm getting really tired of people getting really tired of people having this kind of attitude.

Yep, they're legit! Some of the volumes are harder to find on their site, but if you dig around through the "You Might Also Like" section, you might be able to find them.

I liked the Troll Arc The boat stuff was where me, and apparently many others, decided to take a break. Or maybe it was a decision, but it just happened that way.
I have an honest question. I read a bunch of berserk a few years ago and I hit the end and I remember waiting for new issues but none came. Is this common for the series? I was at chapter or issue 332 and wanted to know has there been more? Sorry I have not stayed up on my berserk news.

337 is the latest one, it has a nice "fuck yeah!" moment in it
Cool man thanks I need to catch up .
Among whom Miura.

Stop.
Guys, I know you want a new Berserk chapter and Miura isn't delivering but you don't need to fill the thread up with posts complaining about not having it when someone posts other content related to Berserk. If Miura promises a chapter then doesn't deliver, then complain. But the thread isn't just for the manga, so knock off the overreactions when someone posts fanart or something.
IST is legit as they come. Great prices and packaging far superior to places like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. If I'm ever ordering an expensive hardcover comic or anything like that I make sure to get it from InStock.
Amazon also has all the volumes in stock. I'm going that route for the first two volumes (should be here tomorrow) only because I have Prime shipping and them being paperback means Amazon's shitty packaging can't really fuck them up.

Thank you, I thought this would be a place to discuss the manga, characters interpretation of events, merchandise and all things Berserk but people came to complain if someone made a post here and if was not to announce a new manga chapter.
Let's discuss all things Berserk here and those who only want to be notified when a new chapter is out go somewhere else please.
I highly doubt Miura has any clue how to wrap it up at this point.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Haha yep, I remember that game. I can't remember if I played that before or after I had watched the anime, but I still had no idea what was going on. Your base of knowledge has to come from the manga for that one.
I sorta want to watch those Golden Age movies they've been releasing recently. I've put it off for a couple years, now might be the time to dive in. I don't expect much, a couple nice fight scenes would be enough.
I'm still way behind you guys on the manga. I really don't have a desire to catch up given the release "schedule."

Speaking of, has anybody here played the PS2 Berserk game? I've heard it's actually pretty good. Didn't Miura write the story for it and everything?
Imagine if the manga ended in a similar way to the anime.
Haven't played it, but the opening is amazing.

I've never complained about the thread getting bumped. The post you quoted was a quip about how complaints in the thread go both ways: complaining about it getting bumped and complaining about people complaining are essentially of equal (zero) value. As this is the OT I can agree it should be about content related to Berserk and people complaining in any context is pretty worthless. Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, I know you didn't. That's why I started my comment as a new paragraph, lol.

I got it. Overall, the game is all right. The basic hack and slash is amazing as there is a lot of care put into the animations of Guts swinging around. You could really feel the weight of the sword as he pivots after every slice. Then when he gets the Berserk Armor the gameplay goes up to 11 and you have a hell of a time. Boss fights are great as well with some pretty cool looking QTE-style special attacks. Basic level design is a bit dull though. Fairly wide open arenas you gotta run through and hack stuff up.
I am not sure if Miura did the story for the PS2 game (I know he did the DC one), but it is nothing too special. It is the events RIGHT after Mogus up until the first big fight with the Berserk armor. There is an original apostle thrown in there that messes with Guts and his crew, but it isn't too special.
The story flows a lot better (for a game) than the DC game. Cutscenes don't last nearly as long.

Thanks. Sounds silly, but I'll read it anyways.

Not silly at all, its done rather well.
And also almost makes it seem that maybe griffth regrets his decision.
Quick rant:
I just HATE it when the primary lure of a story is completely ignored. Gatsu wants to fight the five finger gods and after all these years of the manga and anime he fights absolutely NO ONE. And he wanted to kill Griffith, yet I see the psycho just chilling in a garden the last few chapters. Why doesn't Gatsu just dash straight for him the second he see's him? He's done that for lesser foes.
And having one or two 18-page issues a year doesn't help. I just ignore the thing till it 'suddenly' pops up somewhere (like it did here) to read something new.
*sings Let It Go in head*

Context is key, the build up to that scene, the dialogue before and after that moment make it a truly fuck yeah moment, read it.

I doubt Miura wanted the series to drag on for so long, despite the end goal, there were stuff that Miura wanted to write about and have Guts (and co.) interact with. This is a fantasy manga after all and being able to express and worldbuild one's own story is something not every author manages to do.
Take into consideration build up; should Miura finally be locked up to finish his series then surely Guts confrontation with the God Hand will be the most badass battle ever, unless Miura pulls a fuck you or some shit
Until then I just want Guts to get off the fucking boat already.
Just imagine what you think it is concerning the mood or situation.
I honestly just unfaze at this point lol. Pretty much gave up for the most part, I doubt I would be excited for a new chapter now unless they going to come in more frequently again. Shame that the manga is in this state.

Why don't you get your news on something like the skullknight forums where they actually have threads specifically for recent/new releases. That way we don't have to halt all discussion in this thread just because some people can't control their excitement or disappointment.
Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. As long as it's not like essential dialogue or anything it's all good.

I started watching tv Berserk. I started with the dub, but switched to subtitled which sounds better to me. Although, I'm not sure what the consensus is on the dub vs sub.
I've mentioned a few times that I'd like to read the series, but Dark Horses prices per books makes the investment seem daunting considering we have at least thirty volumes now. I guess I'll have to check a few retailers and compare prices.

Definitely start at volume one. I like the anime, but it does skip quite a few important things.

Oh. I didnt know we have OT for Berserk
...
Are they still on the boat?
Im a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong term Berserk reader. Was there from the start. Dropped it when.... uh... let me try to remember.... just after Guts killed that Octopus enemy thing.
I just couldnt do it anymore after that. But will try to catch up if they've finally reached Elfheim.

The thing that sucks is that I bought volume one many years ago, and it didn't really appeal to me at the time, so I sold it.
I also, for some reason, thought the anime was only thirteen episodes, but it's actually twenty-five. I bought DVDs 1&2 thinking I had almost the entire set, but I still need four volumes. :/
This was years ago. +_______+

I know people don't care for the anime intro "Tell Me Why", and I understand that, but I think it's a catchy song.
