Let the forces flow through you.
Also on the topic of Forces I bought Dragon's Dogma because of this trailer too bad the game isn't as hype as the trailer.

I still haven't played DD. Is this DLC available in EU? How much?
It was just on sale on PSN, 7 euros or something.
You can get the disc version too for under 20 euros online I think.
Amazon has it for 11 pounds for example.
Only thing that has been putting me off it is Bloodborne and the performance issues it apparently has.
Also if Dragons Dogma Online ends up being good, Band of the Hawk with my friends is a reality
You should never expect a new chapter. Never.

Whelp, it's happened.
I'm hooked on my first ever manga. Once I started reading volume 1 I couldn't put it down. I gotta say - Puck so far is pretty great. LOL at him landing in the yellow puddle in the cell! He's needed to break up all the bleakness. Anyway, I....I need more. Even though bookdepository.com has free shipping, instocktrades.com still ends up being like $3 Australian Dollars cheaper after the conversion rate and ridiculous shipping cost when buying in bulk.

BOOM! Cost me $150.42 Australian Dollars.
And volume 1 isn't even the amazing part of Berserk. Brace yourself for one hell of a ride.

I really adore the simple art of the old books and the saturated first few pages of each chapter...I really miss those

So what do you guys think of the Dreamcast English voice actors compared to the anime/movie dubbing?
Yes, the Japanese voice actors are pretty good but this isn't the question in case anyone tries to spin in.
Cam Clarke as Puck in the Dreamcast game was perfect.

The English anime voice actors are God tier ! One of the reasons I enjoyed the new movies is because they managed to get together almost the entire crew including minor characters (except Corkus) and minor villains (including Adon

I couldn't stand the English voices, so I watched the series in Japanese. I did watch Egg of the King in English, and they sounded better.

For those of you whom purchased from instock trades, how long does it usually take to ship with standard shipping?
It varies. I've purchased things from them numerous times; sometimes it shows up in less than three or four days (rarely) and sometimes it takes upwards of two weeks or longer (especially if one of the items is out of stock).
IST has great prices and gets the items to you in great shape, but they're completely hit or miss when it comes to timeliness, unfortunately.
Yeah, IST shipping is kinda unpredictable. I'd say for me on average it's about a week to get my stuff, sometimes a few extra days because of a weekend. Not great.
But as Mumei said, their pricing and packaging is among the best around for comics/manga. Good customer service as well.

Definitely. They're great about responding to e-mails about availability. I've sometimes asked them about an item that I couldn't find on the site, only for them to reply that the website had just been updated to reflect that the item was in stock. They were also hassle free when I had to make an exchange (my copy of Absolute Sandman Volume 5 had a production error where a page wasn't cropped correctly by the paper-slicer thingy.)
Same here. I ordered Colossal Conan from them, but the binding was a wreck. They let me send it back for another new copy without issue and refunded me the shipping.
edit: flipping through some of my newer volumes that I just got and man the art gets crazy after the first 6-7 volumes. Lots more detail.
Oh, yes. There's a large jump in quality after the first few volumes, and then it steadily improves after that.
I started reading the manga about two weeks ago and just past the eclipse. The art for that part was amazing and so much better than the first couple of volumes.

I really do hope InStockTrades doesn't take too long to ship to Australia. After finishing the first volume I'm having withdrawal symptoms! : (
By the way - after just one volume I think I already prefer the manga to the anime and the movies. The manga just completely sucks you in.

I reread volume one last night, and I too am waiting for instock trades to ship. Although, I still prefer the anime, but of course the first volume/episode doesn't cover the golden age. Well, the end of the first episode does, but that's not my point. It's still too early to know which I prefer, though honestly I may like both equally.
That's a shame. I hope it doesn't take too long.
You won't.
I hope you get it soon. I like reading peoples' impressions. I've been loaning out my collection to a co-worker these past few months, and he's on the most recent three or four volumes now.

but, it's a top-five anime for me.You won't.
I do want to know how the eclipse wraps up, but unless Netflix puts up the next two movies soon, it will be a long wait.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Get use to Puck's cartoony form, its technically a non-issue but as the series goes on you will start to see puck looking less and less like an actual fairy er, elf I believe? To the point that you kinda forget what he looked like originally.

Just watched the first movie on Netflix. I actually thought it was decent. Maybe it was because I went in with very low expectations after hearing people talk about how bad it is. It's definitely the worst out of the anime/manga/movie trifecta, but I didn't think it was nearly as awful as people often say.

Like I've already said....this is the first manga I've ever gotten into (I've got Vagabond on the way too after hearing good things) but the first volume just really absorbed me into the atmosphere from the very first page more than the anime ever did. I liked the anime, but I gotta admit that the low budget/iffy animation dragged it down for me.
I actually think I liked the movies more than the anime. At this point in time: Manga > Movies > Anime.

Do you guys remove the "explicit content" stickers from each cover of the manga?
It seems like it'll take forever, but I took it off the first volume so I'm all in now LOL.

Miura seemed to be in good health though, I mean the man is still not married. Togashi got a wife and kid AND back problems.

Same lol. Took it off the first volume so now I do it for every single one.
Thankfully once you get it to peel even just a little bit it comes off easily enough without leaving any shit behind on the cover.

When I heard about "cut content", I was worried too. But I enjoyed it for the most part.
The Julius assassination was handled well, so was the Zodd confrontation. They missed out on Judeau/Guts conversation stuff I wish they could have fit in but for being an hour long thing, they did a good job.

My books shipped. I think I'm going to have to order more books at once because I'm sure I'll breeze through those three I bought in a day. :/

Yeah, they come off pretty easily but you have to be careful not to leave marks from your nails when you start peeling.
That's why I ordered 7 volumes. Considering mine haven't even shipped yet I thought it was a good idea to get quite a few at once since waiting for them to ship each time is going to be painful. I was surprised at how quickly I read through the first volume. It's going to be tough, but I think I might need to slow it down and pace myself to read them at a slower rate.
+ And a new Dragonquest game
Srsly, Tagoshi draws so bad sometimes, i ask myself if his sailor moon wife helps him out

A question for you Berserk fans, is there in any other medium (except for Game of Thrones) something as dark as the
?
