>What you wanna get off the boat? No worries, here let's just put you on Elfheim for seven years to come senpai
>>135093543
I.. I want to get in the boat again
>stopped reading Berserk at the end of the Conviction arc
>stopped keeping up with Berserk in any way until about a month ago
>they're starting to mention getting to the ocean, finding a boat and living with the elves
>15+ more volumes
Holy fucking shit, you guys weren't kidding about this boat meme.
People only care about Berserk when Miura announces another hiatus.
>>135095283
Because then we can expect to ignore it for a few years then come back and get caught up.
I'll see you all in 2017.
I bloody hate it, but I'd rather this then him rushing his work just to get it out by a deadline. Maybe he actually needs this time to carefully plan out the story and how's it going to end, that and drawing up the scenes too. Though I mean I hope that's why and not because of Idolmaster or whatever else he could be fucking distracted by.
>>135095596
I don't understand how someone can be writing a story for so long and not knowing how to end it.
I understand if he knows how he wants it to end, but getting on that boat felt like playing D&D with an amateur DM.
>>135095650
Some people just start an idea for a good story but haven't even planned out an ending for it yet. This can be ok or not ok depending if the writer is competent enough to figure something good later. It seems like Miuras in between. I think I saw an article where he stated something like he knew what sort of closure and emotion the ending should have but not going into any sort of detail of how its going to happen. But from that its most likely he doesn't want to reveal any spoilers, or maybe he secretly doesn't actually know how the ending will go down.
Either way...I hope he knows what he's doing.
>>135093543
is that filthy frank?
>>135096364
Somebody post that image.
>>135096197
When Griffith came back and started making an army and taking over Midland, I got very cautious as to whether he knew what he was doing or not.
>>135096502
Same. But as we see now it was all for a kingdom which we all knew was his ultimate desire. Now the problem is where the fuck does it go now since Griffith has everything he wants?
>>135095596
>but I'd rather this then him rushing his work
Friend, I have some great news for you.
But seriously, the guy had over 20 fucking years to come up with the story, and 3 major hiatuses. I'd say he's taken his sweet time and then some. There's been long running acclaimed series that has begun and ended in the time it took for Berserk to come back from a hiatus. The guy just recently came back from a major hiatus and going back to another one after 5 months. So quit that apologist rhetoric, and accept that Miura has a problem.
>>135096625
Plus, I might be forgetting something, but he pretty much hasn't made an appearance as Femto, chronologically, since the first arc before Golden Age, right?
It's like he regretted making Griffith that powerful.
>>135096655
But maybe this much amount of time taken is what makes Berserk truly great. Either that or takes Mirua a long god damn time to go come up with how to construct another part of the story.
>>135096708
Nope. Remember, he makes an appearance when Skull Knight commits the biggest fuck up in the histroy of manga?
Miura nearly ruined Berserk after turning Guts' adventure into Dungeons and Dragons, complete with random encounters.
>>135096944
He just needs to keep it from fizzling. He did a great job of keeping up momentum after Golden Age all the way up to a little after Conviction.
>>135096944
Then I'd say he would need to find and employ help, since it clearly became too much for him to handle alone.
>>135097046
it was quite refreshing,to see other stuff besides demon rape and Darkness-is-consuming-me shit. Not that is totally gone,it's just sprinkled with other interesting things, also it's nice to see Guts with comrades, it gives me warm feelings and you just know it's building up to some real tragic tweest.
>>135095596
Miura already hates his own work. He's just procrastinating now.
>>135097347
I'm glad someone else has the same sentiments. Let's be honest, if Miura continued down the Black Swordsman pattern two things were going to happen:
>He'll eventually run out of ideas
>Readers get sick of it and ends up becoming le edgy memespam
At the very least, he kept the suffering and dark genre. A few man eating unicorns ain't gonna change shit.
>>135097319
He prob doesn't have the monies. Not many people care about Berserk or buy its stuff. That and you can find all of its manga scans online for free.
How does this keep getting anime?
>>135097479
thank you for validating my taste and preferences, senpai
>>135097347
>>135097479
Aw come on guys. It wasn't that much rape. I sure would love to see some rape after that fricking boat though. Would feel kinda refreshing.
>>135093543
As long as he gives as enough material to be still excited about berserk in 7 years i'm somewhat ok with it as long as i can drink.
>>135096364
you mean this one?
What the fuck does this guy do when he's not doing Berserk-related work? Playing Idolmaster and drawing shit no one cares about?
I feel bad for Bryan, my friend's older brother. He's been reading Berserk since 1992. He's gone through marriage and divorce in his lifetime and Berserk is no where near complete.
I'm sure some of you have it even worse
>>135097749
You know it's bad when you prefer some refreshing rape rather than a boat ride.
>>135096708
He appeared as Femto to finish off Ganishka.
>>135096625
It's time for Guts to take it all away from him.
>>135097749
>I sure would love to see some rape after that fricking boat though. Would feel kinda refreshing.
I hate that I actually agree with this. Where's muh tragedy?
>>135098295
I want Griffith to end up like this again more than I want him to get killed. It's what he deserves.
It could also allow for Guts to get a little emotionally attached to Griffith again, getting revenge while maybe finally putting down his sword.
>>135098216
>>135098319
We have the chance now. Peops are of the boat, rickert is running from paradies. Now the question is only, how soon miura wants to draw something sick again.
>>135097479
Maybe it shouldn't continue. If you are gonna the change the direction of the anime just to keep it alive, might it be the time to end it.
Iactually rather enjoyedthe boat ride
>>135098729
You sick fuck. How could you escape from the asylum?
>>135096197
>Some people
You mean most manga writers. I've noticed a pattern where they usually come up with a cast of characters with good dynamic, a bit of lore and first few coherent story arcs. Then there is a sort of ''break'' where plot threads start to go nowhere, characters going full retard, asspulls and deus ex machinas everywhere.
>>135098729
fuck off Miura
>>135097749
>Aw come on guys. It wasn't that much rape. I sure would love to see some rape after that fricking boat though. Would feel kinda refreshing.
If there's anything to complain about, it's inconsistency; artwork, genre and release dates. You can make a bet to say Berserk wouldn't end in Miura's lifetime.
>>135097657
I'll rape and eat you alive.
>>135095596
Miura is like GRRM, he clearly has burnt himself out on his work and doesn't care anymore but has to keep up the pretense of trying thanks to contracts and a need to keep fans buying.
real talk now, would you have done what Griffith did? If you had your shit fucked beyond repair, would you sacrifice everyone you love to become a flesh-eating demon?
>>135100616
Well, Griffith has way more pride than anyone here. Personally after going through all of that I would have tried to get someone to kill me the moment they found me.
>>135100616
probably if I just get to be healed or get a new but human body
being a demon is a downgrade
Can't the guy just drop it instead of blue balling us until he dies?
>>135093543
>The island is really just a larger boat.
Even if he dies, we'll get a good idea of what he wanted to do once his estate goes through his notes.
They did this with Tolkien and ended up being able to even put it together to make a coherent work.
What if the next chapter ends with guts and his party getting on a raft to cross a river?
YOU RANT OFF ZA BOATO?!
>>135102059
But they get swept out to sea and picked up by another boat.
>be known for pretty much one manga
>been working on it for 25 years; still nowhere close to finished
>constantly go on hiatus do work on nothing or some inconsequential shit
Why?
>>135103085
nothing sadder than a artist tired of his own work
>>135103085
It took Tolkien 13 years to write LotR and he didn't have to draw it one page at a time.
>>135099017
Have you ever tried to code a large program, then got halfway in and realized that everything's fucked and if you did this you could do that but if you don't you'll have to do twice as much and you end up quitting? Going balls deep into a plot without planning it out is a lot like that, unless your story is very self-contained.
>>135103424
Miura's delays are not a matter of quality. The man simply does not care anymore. If he cared enough to put in even solid 8 hour days 5 days a week, this manga could be drawn well enough to make Michelangelo weep and still have a regular release schedule.
This is like defending GURM writing 250 words a day as a professional author. It's laziness, plain and simple.
>>135103565
That's assuming he even knows where the story is going, and he's recently said he doesn't.
>>135103654
7 years to think about it and nothing. Nice.
>>135103703
Quit reading it then.
>>135103654
Not knowing where the story goes is also laziness. It's writing, not philosophy. If he put in the time, he could figure it out. He just doesn't want to try.
>>135103732
I'm sure you can link us to your masterpieces.
>>135103768
Not the guy. He didn't say he could fucking do what Miura does. But look, when you're a fan of a manga series and you bought all the volumes and now when you're waiting for the story to be concluded. It's kind of fucking infuriating when you hear stuff about the author going on a long hiatus and then only returning with little developed content. And sure you could say that Miura needs to take his time to get everything right. Though did it really need to take 7 years for one chapter to come out?
>>135103768
Anon, "w-well you haven't made anything" is the oldest defense in the book, and resorting to ad hominems indicates that you have nothing else to fall back on. I guarantee you that you have called animation shit on this site at some point before despite having never animated a show yourself, for example. You don't have to do something to know when someone else isn't doing it well.
The simple fact of the matter is that you care more about the manga finishing at this point than the author does, and that's fine. Just accept it.
>>135104141
>You don't have to do something to know when someone else isn't doing it well.
This is the single most retarded thing I've read on this site and that's really saying something.
>>135097046
You dumb nigger.
>>135104421
Anon, since you have never written a LN, written or animated an anime, or written or drawn a manga, what are you doing on a site for discussing these things when by your own logic you cannot criticize the plot or art of a creative work without experience in that field?
>non-anime reaction image
Ah, that explains it.
>>135104735
No your logic is fucking retarded, by your "logic" you could say that "sure I'm not a nuclear scientist , but I know when a nuclear scientist isn't doing their job right."
>>135104841
>people's faces are melting off due to hazardous nuclear radiation
>"Uh...Doctor? I think you're fucking this up."
>FUCK OFF YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT YOU'RE NOT A NUCLEAR SCIENTIST.
>>135104841
I want /v/ to go and stay go
Was this week's chapter released yet?
>>135104921
/v/ and /a/ literally no difference these days. As it stands your logic is still retarded and you're retarded.
>>135104841
Apples and oranges, anon.
You don't need to be an artist to know when animation looks like shit. You don't need to be a writer to know that a plot is riddled with holes. You don't need to be anything to know that picture books, even expertly drawn ones, don't take months or years of hard work to push out a meager few pages. What's more, I GUARANTEE that you have criticized the plot and visuals of shows and manga on this board more than once despite your own logic precluding you from having a valid opinion on these things.
The fact of the matter is that any layman is perfectly capable of discerning that Miura simply does not give a shit anymore, because he hasn't kept to a regular work schedule, however slow, in years.
>>135105244
your /v/ermin posting quality can be spotted from a mile away
fuck off back to your containment board
>>135105244
That wasn't even me, you filthy crossboarder, but I'm glad other /a/nons recognize how ridiculous your argument is.
Now take your disgusting /v/-tier reactionals and get out.
>>135103654
holy shit you are new
that fucking interview was from 15 years ago you retarded shit
>>135104421
>pic
Shouldn't you be shitposting in those Tokyo Ghoul threads, you waste of space?
So what if they're finally off the boat?
There's only one way to get back. That's right- THEY HAVE TO GET BACK ON THE BOAT FOR THE RETURN TRIP.
Are we at least getting the chapter on Christmas and hiatus starts after that?
>>135093543
i hab da cancer b0ss
>>135095249
>this boat meme.
>>135097347
Honestly? I hope it doesn't. I want things to get better and better for Guts. I want him to face the Eclipse again and his new comrades are in danger, but this time he stops it stone cold.
>>135104841
Well, if the notes are wrong and the nuclear project is a failure as a result then yes. I think anybody can say they didn't do their job right.
>>135100908
>being a demon is a downgrade
I'd doubt you can be lower than your ordinary /a/utist.
>>135093543
if you had the power to either subtract or add years of Miura's life from or to your own, which would you choose? Don't forget we still need to get back on that boat after Elfheim.
>>135108606
Can I just give him all of them? I want to be an hero /a/ needs but doesn't deserve.
>>135108631
fuck that, just kill him off and use the extra years to see what anime is like in 2100
>>135104421
>If somebody end up with pure shit whenever he tries to cook you can't say he can't cook if you can't cook either.
Literally that.

All these stories about Miura's Idolmaster-spamming hiatuses remind me of those stories about Nagano's FSS hiatuses. In particular, how he once missed a deadline by 2 whole months, and disconnected his phone and email and went to a separate house to play Phantasy Star Online the whole time, so his editors couldn't even find him, and only managed to do so by making PSO accounts of their own and chatting with Nagano online there. And then once they did convince him to continue with the manga, he decided to spend 7 fucking years making Gothicmade instead.
I'm sure someone like Kishi or Oda would murder Nagano and Miura if they were to meet.
>>135108606
And have him repeat the same mistakes that got him nowhere? Fuck him.
> Hajime no Ippo will probably end before Berserk
>>135111796
Naganwho?
>>135112153
>Detective Conan will end before Berserk
>>135111796
>I'm sure someone like Kishi or Oda would murder Nagano and Miura if they were to meet.
And I wouldn't blame them.
>>135093543
>somebody still cares about Berserk
Let it go anon, Miura ran out of ideas and won't finish it ever.
Isn't there a new berserk anime coming out? Maybe he's taking a hiatus to make sure that shit's up to spec.
Who am I kidding, he's probably found another loli fapbait game and wants to tug his dink for a few months
>>135113090
>New anime
>The pic of Guts was drawn by the artist that Studio 4C chose
It's going to be shit.
Do you guys feel, with the way the artwork look now.
that it's slowly been done by his assistants then himself ?
idk i remember feeling like guts looked more raw and more detailed then this shit now.
feels like a cutiefy downgrade.
>>135112448
Exactly.
He was the shit in the 80's and 90's. Nowadays no one knows who he is in the 21st century because that is when he started taking shitloads of hiatuses.
>>135111796
>I'm sure someone like Kishi or Oda would murder Nagano and Miura if they were to meet.
I'm sure most of /m/ would gladly blow Nagano's brains out just to get their hands on a Gothicmade BD.
>>135111796
>Playing PSO
What a bro
What's faster? A boat, or a continent?
