It's tiresome as shit to see people who don't actually know Japanese treat Japanese vocabulary as sacred, such that they'll leave shit untranslated when an equivalent English term or phrase works just as well and will be much more readily understood by an English audience.

Reading a fan translation of Death Note back when it was new drove me insane every time I saw "Raito." That's actually the last fanslated manga I ever read. Now, I study Japanese, partly because I don't want to put myself through the awful experience of a bad translation ever again.

Bros if you spoil berserk for me ill be sad.

How are you going to get spoiled on berserk? Are you waiting for an anime or something? :lol It took like 1 1/2 years for a chapter to come out.

 

[Dahbomb]

There are spoilers in that wiki paragraph by the way.

Depending upon what arc of Griffith Triforce sees himself... Gutts is either Justin or Sanford. If he sees himself pre Eclipse then it's Sanford otherwise it's Justin.

 

[Hitokage]

Bros if you spoil berserk for me ill be sad.

The anime starts its first episode at a time after the entirety of the events portrayed in the rest of the series. It's basically one big flashback.

Also, it's old as shit.

That's not what im talking about, but be a dick about it. Sure.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Guts probably has one of the strongest non demonic beings in his party. Shits far from wack. Loli Witch is just too much for you.

Spoiler

The two kids in the new group is good for Guts they are basically keeping him sane and feeding into his desire to have a family he basically had robbed from him

isidro is terrible tier.

While we're at it, can we get social security numbers too?

This is a trick question, the Illuminati already have them.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I wish they would animate another damn arc. But they will redo the same one a 3rd time. And I will watch and probably enjoy it

Spoiler

He's basically kid guts if guts didnt grow up in a fucked up enviroment. It's pretty obvious why Guts keeps him around

 

[Dahbomb]

The new movies don't follow the format of the anime/manga by the way. For first time Berserk folks that works out better. The manga is still the definitive version though.

That's not nearly as bad as some of the things I've seen done by people who call themselves translators.

 

[Busaiku]

New fans should absolutely not watch the movies.
So much is cut out, and it's not like it's animated particularly well or anything either.

 

[QisTopTier]

I just hate reading translations that keep japanese words in, have an editors note, AND the word has a direct english translation for it.


Edit: Both animated versions of Berserk suck.

wow, the organiser of king of new york went ham on team rush hour

Andy Citiofbrass Dumornay 51 mins
ALL POINTS BULLETIN ON:

RUSH HOUR AKA @chris & @aqua

Here is my proposal:

** Head Hunter Achievement **
If Chris Hu and Aqua confirms and shows to B league to compete, I Citiofbrass will take a loss by cutting the venue fee in half to $5 (original $10), and change the competitor fee to $20 (original $30)

Are they for the scene or do they care more about their fame??? So you guys can go to these majors and place well, that's fine and dandy but you know that fear of fame DON'T work in NYC. Ex. What place did Chris Hu get @DTN2014? What's the real reason why he don't enter Battle circuit @nextlevel but is always there that day to play casuals???

So people outside the B league might ask "why are you giving them so much attention? Why base a feasible venue, entries fee and take a loss just for their attendance?"

1. NYC IS HUNGRY AND WE DONT RESPECT PPL THAT DONT WANNA EAT! You would get BODIED in the B league and you know nyc will eat your food. You skills are slacking and out of date fellas. Corner fadc jump bait ultra 2 works online not in nyc gentlemen. Stop ducking nyc with your excuses and get handled homes.
2. I will take this loss in funds to prove their fans and Lee Chung wrong about them making it out.

What's with this "tiger is a tiger"
Chris Hu what ever happened to "if yu no scare, I no scare"?

This is the concrete jungle. We are your rats and roaches that you cannot get rid of.... Where Tigers don't survive

B LEAGUE WANT'S TO BODY YOU! WHERE ARE YOU AT!?!

Yeah, those are awful. Worse is when it's not even a special term and it only occurs once in the work, and the English replacement drops in perfectly.

How old is Wong again?

I asked him back in Nov when he was in Peru and he said 28.
Btw is Chris G really 23? I asked him last week and he said he was 23, I wasn't even drunk so I'm sure he said 23, he looks somewhat older than that, I am 23 and I look a lot younger.

I don't want to generalize, but why do all the FGC people who post stuff always write like if they are a 14 year old?

I'm not saying everyone should have proper grammar, but at least sound like an adult when you are one.

He's 23 and I'm shocked that people are shocked that he is. Like...

New fans should absolutely not watch the movies.
So much is cut out, and it's not like it's animated particularly well or anything either.

There are 3 reasons why it may be preferable to watch the movies:

*Many people like to watch anime but don't like to read manga. So if they want to get into Berserk without reading the manga then they have two options. They also prefer to watch 3 sub 2 hour movies over 24 episodes of 25 minutes each. It's an issue of time investment.

*The older anime has dated as fuck animation and a crap ton of stills because it was clearly made on a budget. And even at 24 episodes it manages to cut many parts of the manga (or in many places completely alter them) on top of neutering some graphic elements. The newer movies while heavy in CG still feature better and fluid action than the old anime. And what they show, they show in explict detail.

*Anime starts after major events have already happened. The major difference being that it doesn't show a ton of aftermath scenes that the manga does. So it's a half way between the manga and the movies in that regard... in that regard you might as well watch the movie which starts
events in chronological order and thus easier to digest (with the pay off being even more shocking if you are experiencing it for the first time).



Ideally you would want to read the manga and then watch the anime/movies. But people don't have the time for that so they are going to watch the shorter anime versions anyway. And people are going to watch what is most recent.

He thinks hes Griffith from Berserk. Try to dig up that wakeupsrk where he talks about emp and how his philosophy is like Griffith's, and how he's using that to build up the empire. It's hilarious when you hear him talk about it.

The Eclipse is near! EMP members leave while you still can!

How do you even do this?

OH MY GOD...I bought my ticket for the wrong days..holy shit I've never done this before

Also exactly what on earth is going on with folks in the NYC area? In passing I thought it was some Sanford blowup thing, but seems like folks in general are just going on about being hungry and calling out people who aren't backing up talk or what? Seems weird.

It seems like harmless competition but at the same time also reality tv-ish.

 

[Dahbomb]

I just read that giant call out post.

Why is Andy putting Chris Hu and Aqua on a pedestal like that? Dropping venue fee in half just to have those two guys enter?

So what if they do enter and sandbag at the tournament? What does it accomplish?


If anything he should say that he would refund half of the venue fee if Aqua or Chris Hu win the B league.

No 3D games? Should change to 2D FG guide.

Edit: I made a joke about VF but it turned out no 3D games were listed so it has no relevance now.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

oops, wrong thread

 

[Hitokage]

As always VF isn't there because it's too dead to be listed in a FG guide.

It should have been an empty parking space.
