I wouldn't mind seeing Miura redraw some Pokemon. How many penises would Venusaur have and where would they be?

From anime expo in a panel with the Berserk director.
12 episodes (make sense considering the pace the episode titles showed).
3rd episode is entirely new (considering that they can't animate Guts fucking a demon, obviously what happens here would be an heresy so they probably asked to change it heavily).

I've been hearing rumors about Miura realizing how bad the series was turning out and jumped in to have a greater control of the anime. Its all rumors and hearsay at this point but maybe there is more to that story than first expected. I can't imagine Miura likes people butchering his grand opus like the first episode of the new anime die.
Also I thought this season was 24 episodes long?
Already happened with Junji Ito...

The 24 came from a german website episode listing. It was never confirmed.
Ahh ok, they had that on the wiki page for a while. I'm fine with only 12 episodes when its of this quality.

I'm just sitting here imaging Miura watching ep 1 and going like, "Look at what they've done to Berserk."
I just finished the Guardians of Desire arc and this story is fucking real. This has to be one of my favorite story arcs to have ever had the pleasure to read. At about the 6th chapter, I put the Behelit music and that stuff was on a whole other level. Amazing arc. I hope I find the time in the next few days to write a full opinion about the arc after I collected my thoughts on it in full.
Ahh damn you got a wild ride ahead of you are only just getting into the real meat and potatoes arc.
You mean the Golden Age arc? I have already watched the anime and the movies but weirdly enough I'm still excited to triple dip.
Well in general then since there is a longer even wilder road after the Golden Age. Not too mention you still haven't experienced Wyald hah

I keep telling people Farnese is top tier but some fools think otherwise.
I agree, Farnese has come a long way from being that pyromanic religious zealot when she was first introduced.
Just for clarification, she is jealous of Guts' affection for Casca, correct? I recall that she isn't aware of their history. It'd be interesting to see a Guts and Farnese relationship.

I imagine her setting fire to Guts at some point. I actually think Schierke is more jealous of Casca than Farnese is.

At least Miura's getting that paper. I always have this completely baseless feeling like Berserk ain't all that popular in Japan so it's reassuring that it's doing well over here.
I finally caught up with #344.
That was a nice "downtime" chapter. Maybe not as grand as the beginning of Falconia arc chapters, but it was kinda nice to see Guts smiling and Isidro/Puck playing the fools.
Will they will be able to heal Casca? I missed the proud and strong Casca.

I'll be glad when we see Casca's sanity restored. Skull Knight implies that she may not wish it, and it will no doubt be hard for her. But perhaps one of the most potentially positive and empowering things this Manga can do is have Casca rise above her own pain and trauma and have Griffith's rape not be what defines her character, as it has been now since the Eclipse. Berserk has had...issues, with its female characters, but it also explored them in many ways that were meaningful as well. I hope that we continue on that road and have Casca come into her own a bit more.

Skull Knight hinted at this when he warned Guts about bringing her back.

It felt like he implied she may not want to have her sanity back. I'm expecting something really bad, like her immediately running off to Griffith again. Something is to re-new Guts determination to Kill him and we are about to see it.
I think the biggest thing is if she does get her mind restored to its former sanity is will she want to stay with Guts after everything that's happened. I think that was the real warning the SK was giving as it might very well be possible to return her to normal but Guts might not like her decision on what she wants to do afterwards, which may include shunning him because of all the stuff that happened to her. I don't think she'll do anything like run off to Griffith but she might just tell Guts to go fuck himself and that might be even worse for him as he's had so much riding on getting her mind restored, not just for her own sake but his.

Tonight, I begin a new journey
Hey! Me too. Are you just ordering these on Amazon, new? I've been getting them that way, and I'm already feeling the hurt (price wise) at volume 4. You're in for a treat, by the way.
That's actually a pretty bad ass ad for the manga.
DAMN! Those were the best 15 seconds of this month so far.
I'm no good with gifs but I think that commercial would make an awesome one. Just cut off the "blank spots" at the beginning and end.

I've slowed it down a bit

Fucking A+ Work! I was even going to edit my post to make a mention of a slightly slowed down version hah. I'm saving this one.
I'm actually getting them from a bookstore in Dubai called Kinokuniya. It's a surprisingly big bookstore (biggest I've seen in the country, and afaik, it's an international bookstore chain) with a large manga section. However, they do sell each volume at about 18 USD which I did not feel the weight off until I saw how fast I go through each volume
. Fucking worth it though. The Guardians of Desire arc was excellent. I have tried far and wide to order cheaper volumes online but to no avail. I looked through countless stores, big and small in the UK & US, and I actually found some really good deals (Many volumes at $5-8, used) but the shipping costs always brings it back to about the same price of new volumes. It really should be easier than this, but I think I'll suffer through it.

Have you tried bookdepository.co.uk? Free shipping worldwide.
This looks really promising! I will be ordering some volumes right now to try it out.
Edit: I'm thinking of order volumes 6 & 7 and then investing the rest into volumes 13-17 in order to get ahead of the anime. I already watched the 1997 anime so I think this should be okay. Are there any important chapters or plot points that were not covered by the 1997 anime (even small differences)?
You missed out on the Slug Count in the original anime but you already read that part. Otherwise you're missing out on probably 2 characters who are minor at the point of the Golden Age but become much more important later on, Skull Knight and Silat, and then there is Wyald.

Whoops, that's no good for me; I better go in order then.
He looks funny.
Another edit so I don't double post: It seems like bookdepository.co.uk is just missing chapters 12,14-16 & 18. If you guys know any other bookstores like this one, it would be a great help.
I'm still not sure at times whether Miura wanted him to look more like a horse or an monkey/ape.

I actually enjoyed episode 2. I think the CG looks worse during the scenes of talking, somehow. That sunset scene with Guts and Grif was so pretty.

Book 29 and 24 were out of print when a few weeks ago. I'm sure they'll get them. Scalpers are in the look out right now because of the Anime and game. There's new interest in the series. So when there is low volume on the books these guys will bulk buy and try to resell them anywhere from 40-500 bucks. I'm sure dark horse will get more books printed seeing as how Berserk 1-6 is now in Amazon's top sellers list for manga.
There's also rumors of a 2nd print series being released soon with new editing and all that good stuff. This first print series might be on its way out the door. So if you're a collector be on the look out for these coming back in restock. A lot of these scalpers are comic book store owners who kind of knowwhats about to happen with Dark Horses manga line. I posted about it a few pages back if you want to take a gander. It has the new cover for volume 1 in there too.
I wonder what Madhouse would have done for the anime if they were the ones that got the contract.

Like what even is Guts in this thing?

If there's one nice thing of this 2 episodes is a bunch of Puck closeups and the Griffith ones from the last episode
I'm afraid to think what he will look like in those 3d models.

Where in Midland did Griffith get his fucking shampoo?

Behelit can also be used as a soap.
You know that's not a bad idea...
I can see the tie in now!
Just imagine some beautiful women or hot gut rubbing that all around their junk areas and then it starts to transform and cry "blood" as you use it!
Thanks, I will be sure to try this one on my next shipment.
I think we should stick with the shampoo ideaYou know that's not a bad idea...

You know, in terms of weird fictional things people in a fictional world would do if it were real, I imagined a game played by kids in midland called "Kiss the Behelit!"
