what was your reaction when you read Berserk volume 13?
>>136185169
>>136185169
the eclipse, anon, how could you forget the eclipse???
When I read volume 13 for the first time I was hyped as fuck.
Berserk is pretty great.
>>136185051
I fapped to Caska getting raped.
>>136185051
It's love was like a truck.
>>136185051
My love for you is like a truck
BERSERKER
>>136185051
this
this too
I don't remember.
>>136185051
>>136187994
I knew beforehand so this was my reaction as well
>>136185051
I felt empty
This I await the day Guts kills that faggot Griffith
>>136185051
>I like this.
I thought.
>>136187713
this.
>>136185051
>>136187994
This.
>>136185051
actually watched it before reading it.
but I do enjoy a goodcucking
>>136187713
pretty much this
>>136185051
I was pretty salty aboutPippin and Judeau dying
>>136187994
Funny thing the eclipse was the first thing I saw from berserk on my own. I watched a review long ass time ago saying the ending was one of the worst cliffhangers of all time. Watched the last two episodes and this was my reaction.
>>136193468
Judeau was the Fucking man.
>>136185051
>introduce a bunch of lovable and great characters
>kill them off in the most vicious way
Bravo Miura.
>>136185051
I knew it was going to happen and I still felt devastated. Miura achieves fucking Revelations levels of violence and slaughter.
Also, Judeau best boy. Goodnight, sweet prince.
>>136185051
>>136185051
It's like an abusive relationship.
>>136185051
>>136185051
The eclipse is still the single most powerful piece in any manga i've ever read. And my favorite manga series/anime is still Monster and nothing in it compares to the eclipse.
Its the moment that truly revealed the twisted dark side of Berserk. I really hope we can get back to it eventually. Since the last few years things have been so slow and been more so about the side that can fight against said darkness. I feel like all will be better once we see the GodHand again.
How do you hope Berserk ends? Do you hope it ends like Gungrave ended? Go watch Gungrave if you haven't seen it.
>>136185051
>>136195376
Gungrave was fucking boring. Couldn't make it past the 8th episode.
The eclipse was brutal and truly a despicable betrayal on so many levels. But i thought the moment after it was even more intense. Guts looks at his love broken basically stolen from him. His arm and eye gone crippled. He tries to piece it altogether but all he can do is run well seeing the images. All of his friends are gone. Griffith betrayed and destroyed what he loved. The godhand and the world of darkness revealed to him. Out there untouchable he has nothing his whole world is gone. Not even surviving meant much at that moment as he looked at Casca a husk who doesn't want to be anywhere near him.
It was all gone. No one would believe him and what happened outside of a few people even if he shouted it from the roof tops. The despair was showered down on him again in the Count arc. Femto telling him his existence was nothing and all his efforts of hunting their apostles were nothing.
Berserk pre end of conviction was truly the most brutal thing i've ever read. Its really one of the most brutal but before that nothing but darkness no hope and no direction for Guts.
I pray he and Casca get to remove their brands at some point. The idea of them and the rest of the Hawks that died being part of the IOEs abyss and suffering forever is too much for me to bear.
>>136195376
>Gungrave ending
Killing one another? No i hope it ends with Griffith being betrayed like Gaiseric probably was in some sacrifice of his kingdom by whoever new Void ends up being. And in his last moments again looks to Guts to save him and Guts is in a situation where he can either kill Griffith there or save the one he loves again. And just lets the poor sociopathic piece of shit fall and disappear.
I'm beginning to think the IOE and God Hand cycle will not end at all. They've basically confirmed all good souls without regrets or attachments go to the "heaven" of Berserk. So its probably like a Yin and Yang thing. A test to humanities good from its bad temptation versus the human will.
Griffith will die alone. Guts will finally get to watch and let him fall to hell as he did to him. And he will go home and nail some sweet sista chocolate.
I was calm because it was all within the flows of causality
I think Golden age is the best written arc in any manga
>>136195497
This.
Guts had a horrible life.
>>136195497
It's truly proof that the Japanese have no word for 'kitsch' of 'sentimentality'.
>>136185051
>>136198649
best boy, fuck griffith
>>136195376
Guts and Griffith finally reconcile and walk together toward the sunset while holding hands. Ah, of course they kill off Caska the third wheel before that.
It was NOT okay for Judeau to die and that whole Griffith fucking just made me rage. I won't die until Griffith dies. If Miura dies, I'll live longer than the guy who'll replace him and their grandchildren combined through biotechnology and beyond, but Griffith must die by the hands of Guts before I can die in peace.
>>136185051
First time anything in fiction had legitimately upset me.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>136185051
>>136195376
Guts is about to kill girffith after stripping im of his apostle powers, the beast is at his back driving him.
Than he refuses, the beast roars before Guts explains hes after bigger preyHe than leads Griffiths army to kill the evil of idea
344 when?
>>136203245Summer
"And I have taught him, that a man without hope is a man without fear"
This is how I felt the whole time
>>136185051
Based griffith , these faggots deserve to die , too bad caska and guts are still alive .
Judeau had a hard life, he didn't deserve this.
I was reading it on my phone in school, and had to ask to go to the bathroom.
I destroyed a lot of that bathroom.
>>136195376
I want Griffith to get fucked like Galbatorix from the inheritance cycle. I want him to feel everything that the band of the hawk felt when he sacrificed them. And I want Guts to rip him limb from limb.Fuck Griffith
>>136204839
best boy confirmed
>>136204839
He got friendzoned by dying. That's either really badass or really sad.

Pretty much like this through the whole thing
Anyone got the Guts dat ass pic?

I felt so irritated back then.
>>136192447
>>136207260
It's not cucking if it isn't consensual.
>>136190946
>>136207308
ever seen a rape ntr story where it ends with mind-breaking? because this is exactly what happened
Did we already had the bidiurnal thread?
Was it friendship or love?
>>136208503
Griffith made pretty clear Guts wasn't his friend but his most prized possession. Guts sincerely thought of him as a friend.
>>136208591
The way he was all buddy-buddy with Guts makes it look to me like genuine friendship to me. Griffith never acted so open and playful around anyone else.
>>136208797
He probably only wanted him to relax his asshole.
>>136208797
There is no need to read into it, Griffith flat out said that someone that follow him and doesn't have his own dream couldn't possibly be his friend. That's the reason Guts left.
>>136208882
>>136208959
Maybe Griffith was deluding himself and after Guts left he realized how much of a faggot he was up until that point.
>>136209019
My guess is that he thought he wasn't allowed to have friends because they would hinder his dream.
>>136185051
>>136204839
Cucks deserve what they get.
>>136208959
Pretty obvious that he wasn't thinking about Guts when he said that.
>>136206440
I read it just in time to lower the volume before it started playing. Thanks for saving my eardrums.
>>136205968
holy shit this is absurdly loud. I have my speakers or 5% and it sounds just slightly muffled at 50% if it were normal
>>136209374
Which is exactly what he felt Guts did
>>136195376
Guts rips off his own dick and replaces it with the dragonslayer to rape griffith
He did nothing wrong.
Everything was caused by Guts bailing.
I was pretty aroused, not gonna lie
>>136185051
What's the best release group for Berserk?
I wish I could have read it before having the Eclipse spoiled for me.
>>136214864
Dark Horse. Just make sure you don't read band of the hawk translations.
i am 100% sure that Griffith was in love with GatsU.
>>136209624
>wingmen are cucks
Says the basement dwelling retard crying about how his waifu got fucked by a fine man.
Feels like everything post golden age arc is just pointless.
Like where the fuck is Berserk even going to go? It's been in production forever and seems like it's never going to end
>>136185051
>>136218308
it's not going to end, and if it does end, it will be rushed and wont be the ending it deserves.
Miura just doesn't have the motivation to write anymore.
I am not even sure if Miura knows what he wanted to do with the story all these years ago or how he wanted the story to unfold.
If he really loved this manga he would have finished it by now.
Even Toriyama, infamous for being lazy, a mangaka that wanted to end his work 15 years before it ended, was responsible enough to go through with the fucking thing because he loved his work.
Miura was just in it for the money.
>>136207910
Not that kind of mindbreak you goddamned retard.
>>136218592
Does it sell that well? I mean chapter comes out like once in 3 months or so. I can understand current situation (Gats is going to restore sanity of Casca) but what comes next? Does he leaves everyone and goes solo again? Does Casca get captured and taken to Falconia and from then it comes to somesort of astral final battle between Gats and Griffith?
>>136218790
it sells very well as far as i know, but not like it used to.
About 1/4 of sales are from overseas. It's amazing how popular Berserk is outside Japan.
>>136187713
That's pretty accurate 2bh.
>>136208591
I don't understand how anyone could believe that Griffith was being honest with himself when saying that shit to the princess.
>>136218997
I wouldnt be surprised if majority of buyers are older folk like +25 years.

Lad you don't know what you are talking about.
>>136219536
cucking implies previous ownership anon
I've been meaning to get into Berserk for some time, but've just never gotten around to it.
I know the manga is all kinds of worth it, but what about the anime? Or the movies? I love action and well animated action sequences, if I'm going to watch something. If the quality of the anime is low, I'll likely only do manga and be more than satisfied.
Just curious
>>136219336
>BERSERKER
Marc Diraison is so fucking great. The whole Berserk dub is wonderful.
I read it at the end of a two day-long reading binge through the entirety of the Golden Age. I did sleep between these two days, but I got to the Eclipse near the end of the second day, and was kinda emotionally exhausted from the ride.
That, plus the fact that I had it spoiled for me and there were literally like a thousand arrows saying "BAD STUFF WILL HAPPEN NOW", and I actually didn't feel much from it. In fact, I remember thinking how funny it was that I felt so little.
The whole thing was still pretty fantastic, though, just objectively. The whole buildup of the entirety of the Golden Age really made it shine. The Golden Age was fun, but I think it wouldn't be half as fun if I didn't know it was a tragedy from the very beginning. Lingering doom that is just around the corner makes everything sweeter.
>>136219590
Manga has better animation than the anime
>>136219590
The anime is great and totally worth watching, if only for Susumu Hirosawa's music. The movies are only worth it if you're a hardcore Berserk fan. If you're going to watch those, you may as well play the video game while you're at it.
>>136219675
Pretty much my reaction and experience.
>>136219590
manga all the way. You don't want to spoil the manga experience with the anime.
>>136208959
That explicity is supposed to show why Griffith cared about Guts and not nearly as much about the rest. Guts was a true friend for Griffith, even when he left them - but his ambition was even greater.
>>136219388
That looks like shinji desu senpai
>>136215956
why, exactly?
>>136221169
Because they're shit
>>136221278
But why? spelling? typos? pixelation? translation mistakes?
I have noted typos, so far.
>>136185051
I still get emotional. Angry mostly. I imagined myself in Guts' situation and I would have probably lost my mind.
did anyone ever figure out why did egg dude help lorz mozgul and co. when they wanted to kill caska thus stopping the rebirth ritual?
>>136222637
I think he just made them to stall Guts
>>136185051
Angry desperation, I wanted to reach into the screen and punch griffith in his stupid bitch face. I was cheering on guts while he was hacking his own arm off with his broken sword, wanting guts to beat that girly faggot to a bloody pulp with the stump.
I knew that wasn't going to happen, it was all a flashback, there was no way this was going to end wel, and I hated it every step of the way.
I had to take a little break when it was over. and after the eclipse I no longer blamed guts for acting like an edgy asshole to everyone.
Griffith doesn't even deserve hell, he's too much an evil little shithead for that place, I hope all his dreams crash and burn before his eyes.
>>136218592
>Miura just doesn't have the motivation to write anymore.
>I am not even sure if Miura knows what he wanted to do with the story all these years ago or how he wanted the story to unfold.
Why would anyone say that? It's clear by how consistent the worldbuilding and storytelling is that Miura knows exactly what he's doing.
>>136219590
The '97 anime is pretty good, but don't expect well animated action sequences. Often it's just a meme, but the manga really is FAR superior to every adaptation Berserk got. Especially that none go further than Golden Age arc.
>>136222637
>>136223252
It makes sense, but I always thought he just felt for the ones exluded from society. He explicitly states something simmilar when talking to Luca, that he envies them for meeting Mozgus, but he also turned that Goat heretic into a demon, which he's done I assume because he somehow felt for the heretics' escapism.
/a/ had spoiled it for me by the time I got around to reading it so I didn't really care.
>>136221788

Heyyy lol
>tfw berserk gets worse and worse
>tfw I am slowly forgetting why I liked it in the 1st place
I started reading berserk from golden age arc and expected a medieval story with a bit of supernatural elements in it. That shit just came out of fucking nowhere.
>>136208797
Except he does ?
>>136195497
>>136195376
Serpico manages to beat Griffith. Meanwhile Guts and Skull Knight fight against the rest of the God Hand.
>>136207910
That kind of mindbreak is the girl giving up everything just for pleasure, she basically gets addicted to the guy doing the cucking's dick. This didn't happen in Berserk, she didn't really enjoy it and it was obvious she didn't want it, she then regressed into a child as a defense mechanic so that she could handle what had happened to her.
>>136218592
>I am not even sure if Miura knows what he wanted to do with the story all these years ago or how he wanted the story to unfold.
It's obvious Miura knows exactly what he's doing

>Miura was just in it for the money.
I hardly think that is true.
>Miura just doesn't have the motivation to write anymore.
Pretty much this.
>>136219336
The english voices are so fucking terrible, I don't understand why anyone would prefer them. The japanese voices are so fucking perfect, every single character sound exactly as I imagined them while reading the manga. Especially Casca, Guts, Judeu and Griffith.
I sincerely didn't believe what was happening
>>136232287
>Guts
>Griffith
Don't you mean Gattsu and Griffisu, Weaboofag?
>>136234179
>>136233291
No, those are just japanese pronounciations, Miura have confirmed that it's Guts. I'm not a weebo, I'm not autistic about dubs, but when the original is so much better I see no reason as to why you would watch an inferior dub.
>inb4 "hurr durr you don't understand them so how could you know it's better
1. You can still hear the emotion in someone's voice and the voices fit the characters perfectly
2. I know japanese, I own all the volumes in japanese, bought the full collection(37 volumes) for less than 100 bucks.
>>136234247
>own all volumes for less than 100
I'm mad jelly. I'd have to shell out a thousand in my local currency just to get less than half of the completely volumes. Fuck living in this shithole.
>>136234327
That's because the english versions cost alot more. The japanese versions are cheap as fuck, you can easily get a full collection for less than 100 bucks, you can probably find a full collection for 70-80 bucks.
>mfw everybody hates griffith
lel kill urselves fuckin plebetarians
>>136234693
Now Griffith obviously did nothing wrong, but the real question is is he tight?
>>136234871
i refuse to talk about him in such disrespectful manner tbqh senpai
