The sadistic tone keeps going and going and has quite a culmination. Reading Wolfsmund is like getting punched in the stomach. Every two chapters. No mercy whatsoever.

He is completely lost in his devotion to religion to the point he sees them as heretics who need to be "cleansed".
I'm glad I stopped then, it felt very one dimensional with its shock value wrapped up in relentless despair.
Mozgus takes his religion VERY seriously.
You should ask Farnese.
Its been a hot minute but didn't the woman say god would judge him or something along those lines when he initially turned her and her infant away? Mozgus was his religion, there was nothing else too the man but a fervant ardor to worship and bring everyone else to the light. For some random dirty peasant woman with a sickly baby to say that God would judge him harshly after all his years of smashing his face into the fucking floor and doing his work through out the land, both horrible and good, was probably one of the biggest insults you could make to the man. He had to teach her a lesson and not just for his own rage but for making such an affront to an agent of God.

He asked the one true god, Dio Brando how to help out a mother with a baby...

Ch 25 now, Im really surprised at how close the 90s show is to the manga. its almost identical barring a few comical scenes or dialogues

You wont read anymore? If you want to know what happens...
Wolfram has a gruesome death by impalement. There's almost two chapters dedicated to his torture.
Doing what? The torture? For salvation.
Why is he a fanatic? There's no detailed reason for it.

It's close but it does omit a couple of key things in my opinion, especially towards the end of Golden Age.
That sounds both par for the course and oddly dissatisfying. I may have to read the ending out of sheer curiosity hmmm *_*
edit: Oh judging from a review it's not the ending.

It's a bit satisfying eheh.
Oh yes. There's more to it. It becomes something different though. I still haven't read the last volume.

Jesus Christ Chapter 39 got fucking dark
This wasnt even alluded to in the show..
with the king attempting to rape his daughter
This wasnt even alluded to in the show..
The shows chopped out a lot of stuff though the 90's anime is pretty faithful overall to the story.

Yeah the manga has a much darker tone than either animes or the movie series.

Chapter 95 now (uni's closed all week cuz snow, so i got free time). Really enjoying this post-eclipse. I think this lost childrens arc or whatever is generally considered the best arc correct?
It's the arc I enjoyed the most. I don't think its the best arc or anything but when I think about Berserk, the images that come to mind are mostly from the last scenes of Lost Children.

Damn I love
Do we know how close Miura is to finishing this thing?
Skull Knight, and his relationship with Flora is awesome too.
Do we know how close Miura is to finishing this thing?
We've heard like 70% complete but that was several years ago at this point. I'm guessing he's something like 75%, maybe 80% but who honestly know's at this point. It does seem like Miura is setting up the endgame at this point if nothing else.

Farnese the wicked asshole

so we're just supposed to forget
then i guess..
I love LOTG, Monster, and Akira. I know the manga of Akira is vastly different from the movie (is it better?), but what about Monster and LOTG? I know LOTG is a novel series, but 3 of the books have been localized i think
,seriously they made her unredeemable with the shit she pulled,
gunna be a wtich now?

It'a been awhile but I believe the Monster manga and anime are virtually 1:1.

i get that, and its really interesting seeing how Miura tries to redeem the unredeemable.
damn, but hey the anime is a 10/10 story so the manga must be great too then.
wont read it as ive seen monster twice already, but anyone who hasnt i recommend it greatly.
Yep, almost to a fault.

yeah that was good, really enjoyed the small arc about rickert afterwards. and now onwards to that
elf island
Thanks for the clarification regarding Mozgus, gents.
About the hiatus.. I'm so anxious to find out about the inner depths of Casca's mind. Can it be Spring already?!
Also.. about the Slug Count's daughter from the Black Swordsmen arc, I wonder if she will make an appearance again.

i want it now damn it
Edit: reading up in regards to the child.
http://berserk.wikia.com/wiki/Demon_Child says that the child exists "as Griffith's new corporeal form, faint traces of the Demon Child's need to protect Casca appear to have some influence on Griffith as he found out while at the Hill of Swords." when was this mentioned in the manga, i dont recall any notion of the kid being griffith. and is the kid old griff and new demo griff.. so confused
Spoilers for Tower of Conviction and beyond:
When Griffith was on the hill of swords, he protected Casca from some falling rocks if my memory serves, and he says that he only came to the hill to see if he had any residual feelings (and at one point mentions the feelings of the demon child still within him)
And the new Griffith was only born from the demon child by way of the egg-shaped apostle. The new Griffith and Femto are one and the same. Someone else can explain it better, but basically the egg-shaped apostle allowed Griffith to have a physical form in the world again. Why Griffith, and not someone else, I am not sure.

All according to Keikaku.
There's a good chance Griffith planned for this to happen.
I heard people say that before but I can't wrap my head around it.
My mind instantly goes to the moment when the egg-shaped apostle finds the demon child and eats it up before reaching the top of the Tower. That's probably as close as it gets to fate/causality playing its part in the series and not something that Griffith planned in someway. Would Griffith still be born had the Egg not eaten the demon child?
If anything, something like that should only be possible by the Idea of Evil, since it can control causality according to the wiki (never read that lost chapter

I always kind of assumed that as a God Hand Griffith could see into the flow of causality and get a decent enough bead on how events happen.

Alright so let me get this straight..
So the perfect egg created the new griffith right? ok, I dont recall the egg accomplishing that but whatever. In doing so, did guts' kid fuse/become the new griffith, did guts' kid (who is obviously the moonlight boy) seperate into two different entities with the demon side being griffith and this moonlight boy being the more human albiet with magic powers side, is the moonlight boy also griffith? my god im so confused
True Savior

The Behelist apostle encountered the fetus and swallowed it. During his sacrifice, the fetus transforms into Griffith who emerges from the egg. The kid had fused with his vessel (he even acknowledges his presence by saying his heart is throbbing)
About the two entities...how the child take his own form is unknown. For now it's obvious he shares the body with the new Griffith.
