Berserk is not edgy at all. Miura is playful. Mozgus himself is at the same time a parody and a grim reminder of historical personages. You can't read Devils of Loudun without a sense of humour and dread.

Stop using lazy language, sperg.

I'm sorry anon, but you seem to have mistakenly used the watered down "a lot non-peacefulness and heavy atmosphere" definition. Don't you worry though, I will always be here to correct you.

Technically it is seeing as Lost Children is a part of Conviction.

This will always bother me.
I love both series and even I can tell that if Kill La Kill is "edgy", Berserk is something even more than it.
The amount of unecessary torture and rape in that series is outstanding.

>The amount of unecessary torture and rape
There's like 3 rape scenes and 2 torture scenes across 300 chapters

The structure and pacing and sense of crescendo in the Tower of Retribution arc is MASTERFUL

it is absolutely pearless storytelling.

From monsters materialising in the torture chamber, to skullknight appearing and having the mysterior chase with the egg apostle, to guts having to take on the torturers, ozgus...

Miura just kept on upping the ante in that arc.
It was beautiful. miraculous.
It was once in a generation storytelling, to keep on building that climax and urgency and sense of "holy shit" so flawlessly.

And as someone else said the historical perspective with the church, treatment of pagans, the look at refugee camps.


The Golden Age accomplished something slightly different, it had impressive characterisation. But the Tower of retribution arc was the best 4 consecutive volumes in the story.
Every one hit it out the park.

It just wasn't the best berserk arc, it was the only good berserk arc. But yeah, if you like naruto maybe the manga is good after the golden age.

I also like building up the fake eclipse. Like it already happened once before, and despite his best efforts everything slowly falls into its place. the whole poverty camp, everyone slowly going mad, The whole cast there (Luca, Farnese, Mozgus), it just fits all together flawlessly.
Well I have a boner for fate-cycle-style stories too so that's that

>Unnecessary torture and rape

The fuck? The story was focusing on a religious inquisition. Based off of actual one carried out by monarchs and the church back in the medieval ages. Of course theres torture. And theres only 3 or 4 rape scenes across 300 chapters. Get fucked faggot, Im tired of the word edgy being used for any work that isnt sunshine and rainbows.
>>
>>134509328
The way the second eclipse manifested itself was so haunting and ominous. Like you slowly start to see what skull knight was ranting on about earlier on.

I also enjoyed how despite the destruction and death, it ends on a hopeful note.

I loved how that arc expanded on the black swordsman arc and how guts lust for vengeance was twisting him into a monster. It really made guts look like an inhuman beast.

I'm caught up, and I don't think anything's topped the Golden Age.

I'd probably put Conviction in second though.

That was the most disappointing arc for me though. Only highlight was the berserker armor.
