Yeah i think whatever was left of the Kushan was absorbed into Griffith's army, but Silat may be trying to find a weakness Griffith may have from Rickert.

Mandarake has a semi-used one for 15k but that doesn't seem like a reasonable price.

Your best bet is to cry over not preordering it right away like the rest of us.
Alright thanks I'll keep an eye there.
Yeah I wasn't into Berserk when it came out, so now when I want it its too late.

You can consider me slightly jealous, I do have the Guts band of the hawk figma though.
I wonder if Miura's long schedule works in his favor a little. Given that he only comes out with a few chapters a year, he has to make sure that they are good and provide story progress. Not all chapters are equally important of course, and he doesn't literally pack the chapters with as much as possible (a good thing, imo, you don't want sensory overload), but it's always good stuff.

Miura is REALLY laying on the warped comedy faces in these recent chapters. He's always done it, but it's been especially noticeable lately.
Lmao that's something I've noticed going through the trade paperbacks.
I can't remember exactly when it ramped up, but I feel like after The Eclipse I rarely see Puck as just Puck. It's always some comedic version of him or like some pop culture riff.
Not really a problem, but it's a little jarring in some spots that feel otherwise serious.
Yeah, I always found them odd. Berserk has the most realistic but stylized facial expressions I've seen in manga (granted, I don't read as much as I used to...). You'd think he'd deliver comedy without the deformations.
I think that's awesome. There needs to be a tinge of comedy in Berserk to balance all the depressing shit in it. Puck was annoying in the first three volumes but after that I feel like Miura did a good job making him contrast from the bleak and dark world of Berserk.
I like it for the most part. Just a few scenes where I'm totally absorbed in something going on and then suddenly it's like...oh, there's Puck as Yoda lol.

Is anyone still reading my volume reviews?
Not sure if I should keep doing them or not.

I'm on volume 15, and I'm enjoying puck's antics a lot more now. This is one of the highlights:
I love how Void looks like a sinister muffin-man in his memory.
I read them. You can't stop yet. You still haven't reached the best volumes yet.
Keep doing them! I love reading the fresh impressions.

Puck is a character that really grew well on me, and overall Berserk benefits from him.

The reference, the setup, that was perfect.

I'm still on 316. Please. I can't...
It's so slow right now and weird. How long are they going to be on that boat? I don't feel much is happening. I keep wanting to continue but always end up procrastinating
Yeah I lost a lot of interest once the Kushans came in. The stuff on the boat isn't that solid either.

Just finished the anime and the 3 movies. Read chapter 1 in the manga and can't wait to start my binge reading.
Was one of those stories that had me thinking about it for the past few weeks.

Volume 21 (first half), and yes !
You're in for a treat with the manga then.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I'm on episode 20 of the anime, and plan to delve into the manga next.
I'm really interested to learn how the world goes from a historical fantasy to a world full of demons and monsters. And Griffith is still an extremely intriguing character. I'm starting to see how he might become the villain he was said to be in episode 1.
Guts also grew on me a lot. I found him mostly bland at first, but starting with him and Casca being lost in the woods, he started to develop a lot as a character.

Well I guess that settles that. I'll continue to do them! I just wasn't really getting any feedback so I thought they might've been getting ignored, but just knowing that you guys are still reading and enjoying them is good to know. I literally just finished reading and writing down my notes for volume 11...I can't wait to get to the next few volumes even though I've already watched the anime and movies!

smh wish I ordered the volume 37 SE when I had the chance. Most of Berserk's figmas don't look that hot but the Berserker armour is on a whole other level.
Guts' development is a lot better in the those sections in the manga, too.

Anybody else felt that the anime series was superior to the movies? Yeah the 3rd movie goes a bit further but it's missing a few nice details from the anime. I also found the creature design to be creepier during the part when shit really hits the fan.

I felt the movies sucked, they cut a lot of the manga and had one of the worst CGI I've ever seen. The anime was great
. But, if they could bring it again, with a studio capable of animating the epicness of the manga, that would be great.chicagocubsfan

The CGI in the first Berserk movie is up there with some of the worst CGI I've seen.
I actually thought the CGI in the 3rd one was a huge step up compared to it.

Yeah I didn't like how overly clean the movies looked. Berserk's style fit in perfectly with that dark gritty 90's anime style.

The movies didn't even have Hirasawa for the OST. They had no hope.

"Aria" was, and is great, but apart from that and the closing song the soundtrack was forgettable to me.
RadioHeadAche

Yes. I am on my third watch of the series, and I have no real interest in rewatching the movies apart from select scenes of the third to complete the story for a friend.
The animation isn't great in the series, but the still frames don't bother me as much as others. In fact, I love how they look.

Shiro Sagisu was not exactly a bad choice for the movies had he not made the most bland tosser whatever of a soundtrack imaginable.
All his Evangelion work is top notch. From 1995 to today.
Best thing we got from the movies was this single new Hirasawa track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrOliVhbBo8

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Just read the latest chapter, it was fine, however a year for only 20 pages in what is suppose to be a monthly series is more than a tad disappointing. There was enough content there and as I said ,the chapter is good, its fine, but this is less then weekly series.
It's actually supposed to be semimonthly.

Puck has some great moments in volume 15.
I love this one in particular. The "I doth care nevermore!!" gets me every time.

The Eclipse was some serious shit. I knew that talisman Griffith had was bad news, but I didn't know how bad.
I feel like it ended abruptly, though. Started the manga and already noticed that a lot was changed in the Black Swordsman arc.

Anime took out Skull Knight.
Anime instantly inferior

I only saw the first movie, it's nowhere close to the anime. It sucks they only did 25 episodes but it's understandable with how quickly the anime would have caught up to the manga. It would be cool to see another anime of the series down the line, but I think there are better chances of the films returning to cover further storylines.
