Pleb please, just because there are tentacle monsters doesn't make it cosmic horror.

>>62788411
nigger, I just read what makes cosmic horror a thing and berserk fits it pretty nicely. Whether you like it or not doesn't, doesn't decide if it is or not.

Eclipse Arc was one of the greatest arcs in a manga I've ever read. Most of Golden Age was bretty gud too. But there has been so much fucking garbage over the past 20 years of this series that it's kind of lost any impact.

Bloodborne is objectively the best piece of cosmic horror outside of the literary genre.

Anyone who disagrees doesn't understand cosmic horror or pacing and needs to read a book

It only reaches that in the last few episodes though, would it even count?

>>62791157

series like at 36 volumes now, the show was like from volume 12-to21 or something like that.

theres alot more demon shit and other dimension stuff in the rest of the series.

But the anime is just the Golden Age? Hardly cosmic horror, you got Zodd, the monkey fag and what else? Godhand and the other apostles don't do shit in the golden age,
>>
>>62787937
Is the manga more "cosmic" than the anime? I've only seen the anime and i wouldn't really call it that. 90% of it was typical fantasy. It's not until like the last 2-3 episodes, where shit starts to go all supernatural and demonic. I found it to be a weird tangent really. It was cool and all, but i would have preferred a more sensible ending.

The manga is better, after the part where the anime ends at Guts starts hunting apostles so its more supernatural stuff as opposed to the Golden Age, the arc which the anime shows.
The Golden Age is the best part of it anyway.

>>62787937
The Eclipse is absolutely fucked and it and the build-up to it are probably my favourite pieces of storytelling in manga but >>62788031 probably still wins. Prince of Darkness is 11/10 and possibly the most underrated movie from John Carpenter, the king of underrated movies.

Also since you like your weebshit would you consider Genocyber cosmic horror or more bio-horror? Because it's fucking amazing.
>>
>>62793048
i see, so that end of the anime, is sort of the set up fo the beginning of the next chapter in the manga.

Is the english dub at least decent? I want to watch but I hate reading subtitles

>>62793279
Yes it's good. it's a little shaky the first two eps, but then it's great.

Not him but the first season clearly has some cosmic horror elements.

>>62793279
It's really on point, the guy playing OP's pic is absolutely 11/10 spot on and everyone else is solid. I've seen it in English, Italian and Japanese and I think they're all solid. Japanese is actually my least favourite because it just feels a bit strange considering the late-medieval central-European setting.

I just watched this movie and was about to post it.
