False, its not even finished yet.
Besides the lack of closure that it needs, it can still change into anything and become shitty as fuck.

The next 90 chapters could be all about Guts being anally pleasured by Griffith or some horse shit. No thank you, without an ending its barely worth mentioning.

It might have been better only because there would be no awkward and pointless romance with Casca.
Seriously I absolutely HATE this character now. Casca has become the ChiChi of Berserk, i.e. a total bitch. I hope she dies soon.

Still doesn't make sense why she continues to treat Guts like shit after he saves her life over and over and over.
On top of that it was already stated that Casca "will not want what [Guts] wants" even when her mind is cured. She will never be his gf again, she may not even want him to kill Griffith.

At this point it would be best to just kill her off.

Berserk is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive edge faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the gore, edgy clothes, the whole swordsman faggotry and everything about the Berserk world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Berserk is basically THE series to attract the most hated manga fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this manga and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Berserk threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

It has its good parts and its bad parts like every other manga.

Black Swordsman arc = good
Golden Age arc = pure gold
Conviction arc = meh
Falcon of The Millennium arc = mostly good
Fantasia arc = pretty shitty so far but is slowly becoming decent now that they finally reached the Elf Island

Oh and you can't compare the Berserk ANIME to the manga, ever. The anime left out a lot of awesome stuff.

It just doesn't interest me. The whole arc feels like filler. I read it once and didn't read it again. I just don't care about some little girl who sacrificed her abusive parents to become an apostle, or about the plight of some prostitutes in a refugee camp, and that Mozgus dude was annoying as hell.

Honestly the whole arc should have been: Farnese and her knights attempt to capture Guts and fail miserably, the eggman apostle finds Casca's baby, Griffith is reborn in human form, the end. The whole arc could have been done in one Volume of the manga.

This will cause further suffering for guts. She will regain sanity and use the behelit to rejoin Griffith after all guts has done for now. She will sacrifice part of the party, further driving guts to the beast. Casualty literally hates guts and wants to fuck him in the ass. So that's why casca is still there.

But in his suffering and RAGE he will make a beast out of himself and slaughter every living thing on earth. No humanity= no idea of evil. Guts will wander an empty earth this is how it ends boys

Cheesecake Guts would ruin the dark realism of Berserk and its themes of gender inequality. Her childhood rape wouldn't have been as impactful because raping women is so status quo for Berserk. Casca's significance as a strong female mercenary would also be diminished. Stuff like her period affecting her fighting skill will never be explored in fiction again because of the inherent misogyny, but I believe those themes of overcoming gender inequality made her a stronger character altogether.

Unfortunately this might actually happen. They are still carrying that behelit, and Casca's friendship with Farnese wasn't developed this much for no reason.

Implying.

There's no room for her in the story if something like this doesn't happen. This is the only way her still existing may pay off in a big way.
Alternative is that she stays with Guts and gets the fuck out of the way for the rest of the manga before being there for him when he doesn't die. Would you really want this? It's certainly weaker as a story...
And no, womyn warrior is not acceptable. That's the biggest blunder Miura could do.

For the genre of realistic medieval golden age berserk is top tier. For the fantasy horror/grim dark berserk does it better then any.

Overall berserk has influenced a fuck ton of great manga out there and is one of the greatest mangas out there. It has withstood the test of time. Then again there's no end in sight and there is the chance it will remain unfinished, but if it does come to an end That's when we can definitively say whether it is the greatest. I honestly don't see how we can get a satisfying conclusion right now, but I have faith in 20 years we'll have some awesome developments

This is a pretty apt reply. Berserk for me just stands out in my mind. It's one of the few mangas I think could capture the appeal to a larger audience. The whole Byronic hero thing, the struggle and brutality of it. It's got a lot going on without it trying to be super "deep" and has a way of sticking inside your head. I got a few people to watch/read it and they couldn't get over the whole eclipse. It stuck with them for days/weeks after. It probably can't be classified as the best manga ever made, but it can be classed as one of the best. It's influence can be felt across a number of genres (the dark souls games, various other anime/manga).

She hates all men thanks to her brutal rape, and is fucking terrified of Guts thanks to his inner beast taking over and trying to murder her.
And, like the other anon said, she's retarded now. She doesn't have any concept of danger, so she doesn't realize or understand the things that Guts is doing for her.

I don't think Vagabond is on the same level as Berserk. Maybe it is in terms of art, but sure isn't in terms of creativity and plot. Besides, the Berserk manga is original while Vagabond is a manga adaptation of a much better source material.

Not saying Vagabond is bad at all, it is fantastic, just that I consider Berserk to be one level above it.

Don't get me wrong, I think Berserk is one of the greats and post eclipse stuff is underrated by plebs. But the consant hiatuses really give this the illusion of bad pacing, also Fantasia arc is pretty weak, same for the Blackswordsman arc other than adding a sense of dread and foreshadowing to the golden age arc.

How would you guys compare berserk to other anime series like LotgH, Utena, or Evangelion?

If we're talking Golden Age, then sure, but Berserk was going downhill years before the boat fiasco.
>>
>>141362174
Fist of the north star is absolutely not better. FotNS is pretty much if the entirety of berserk was like the black swordsman arc, no thanks.

Kenshiro is pretty much Guts if he showed no emotions and was a boring invincible one dimensional badass
>>
>>141362233
conviction arc is better than golden age though.

>and then it goes into absolute shit with the troll arc

Did people complain this much when Guts was killing hundreds of enemy soldiers in the Golden Age arc?
How exactly was that different?
The troll arc is just one battle in a much bigger story arc. Most of the Falcon of The Millennium arc is basically a remake of the Golden Age arc:
-Guts makes new friends.
-Griffith fights a war against the enemies of Midland.
-Griffith wins the war and is once again seen as a hero.

To call the troll battle "shit" is to miss the point of this arc. EVERYTHING good done by Guts and co in this arc (saving those villagers from the trolls, saving the city of Viritanis from Ganishka) is fucked up in the end by Griffith (when the worlds merge). Sounds a lot like what happened in the end of the Golden Age arc. THAT is the point.

No matter where Guts goes or what he does, he gets screwed over by Griffith in the end. And I expect the Fantasia arc to end the same way.
>>
>>141364393
people hate the troll arc cause that's prob when the series just straight up embraced high fantasy at that point (as well as having a dragon when griffith merged the worlds), also it felt very jrpgish with Guts getting a party and a powerup with the berserk armor.

I mean I think it's still great but it's easy to see why people don't like it.
>>
>>141362300
>conviction arc is better than golden age though.

LOL no.
Zodd and Wyald >>>>>> Rosine and Mozgus
The Eclipse where the entire Band Of The Hawk was slaughtered >>>>> the fake Eclipse in the tower where a bunch of nameless, faceless refugees got wiped out.
The rape of Casca by Griffith >>>>> the attempted rape of Farnese by a possessed horse.
I mean come on.
>>
>>141364612
The horse rape was top tier tho
>>
>>141364541

I fucking hate it when people get on their high horse about "high fantasy" without even understanding what the term means. Protip: it has nothing to do with atmosphere, tone, or how much magic is in the setting.
>>
>>141364612
Rapehorse was really dumb yeah, but it wasn't any sillier than Wyald's tongue cock and attempted casca rape.

Zodd was definitely a highlight of the golden age and desu the wyald fight kinda dragged. It was necessary in the sense that it gave Guts the ability to beat apostles and him surviving the eclipse doesn't seem farfetched, but the best part about it was zodd swooping in and ripping him in half.

The rosine arc is probably guts' best fight, and refined his blackswordsman persona where he wasn't just a brooding edgelord but was characterized perfectly. Puck also was the perfect balance between being a caricature and a regular character at that point.

I do agree that the eclipse was the absolute peak of the manga.

But Serpico and Farnese>>>>>>>the old band of the hawk, their deaths were only sad cause of how close they were to guts. As characters serpico and farnese are far more fleshed out and their flashbacks were a highlight of the conviction arc.
>>
>>141362812

>>141362174
A lot of that stuff is very good, but I wouldn't say better than Berserk. Gunsmith Cats and Black Lagoon just try to imitate the feeling of old American action films. Akira has some pacing problems. Ghost in the Shell has better adaptations, but isn't a better manga.
