>She's decked out in a frilly dress, her eyes have gotten extremely large and soft, and her hair is super long

>100% feminine straight out of a JRPG

What the fuck man. This is a truly uncanny feel, to so readily see the juxtaposition between old-beserk and new JRPGzerk in just double page. She better tear that shit to pieces posthaste once she finds a nice hauberk and mail to put on or something smdh

Never thought I'd see the fucking day.

Moeshit is a dark and powerful corrupting force.

Look at what it had done to Miura and Nihei.

>>18739

It wouldn't have been a problem if he managed to wrap this shit up about a decade ago or so

>>18723

>before Evil Genius works its magic and takes a huge dump on the art.

Some Korean faggot's already put an obnoxious watermark on every single page, what's left to ruin?

Why wont it finish already?

I dropped berserk not because of the hiatus, but because it drags itself for so long. Just end it!

>>18750

Miura had probably already given up on Berserk.

He doesn't seem to care about it anymore, considering how after we've been getting filler-tier bullshit for almost a decade now.

>>18757

would you prefer:

>a fan of berserk takes over the project and gives it a satisfactory end based on the miura's notes

>miura writes a LN to sum up the end of berserk

>another decade of waiting for what will likely be a lackluster ending with moe art (guts+casca deciding they can't kill griffith and fuck off to the country / guts+casca+JRPG band fight femto and lose and casca gets raped again alongside shierke and farnese likely the only ending that makes sense in this edgy universe / JRPG band fights entire godhand and wins, dispelling the despair and suffering plaguing the lands but within months people go back to being shitty / occult or time travel arc to stop griffith from becoming femto, then convincing griffith to suicide for the greater good)

>berserk anime gets another season with an anime original ending (pick one of the above), miura stops making berserk and later claims the anime original ending is canon

>>18757

Honestly, I don't really care.

Berserk is pretty much dead to me after the Golden Age Arc.

>>18761

Oops, meant for >>18759

>>18745

see >>18728

>>18750

One thing is for sure, the editors are so afraid of losing their big cash cow now that they won't dare suggest changes to whatever Miura's vision is, so the current shittiness of Berserk is all Miura's own doing. I'm glad that Miura finally puts off fapping to Idolmaster for long enough to show Casca regaining her memories but that cliffhanger makes me think Guts and us readers will get cucked again. Fuck Miura.

>>19409

I wish the editors or whoever's in charge would grow some balls and terminate Berserk already.

It's been a shitshow for the past decade, with nothing to show but filler-tier fight scenes that don't move the plot whatsoever.

>>19410

That would require said Japanese businessmen to not be pseudo kikes, which is impossible. I could rant all day long about how none of the Griffith's apostle knights have even died in the last 10 years, not to mention any of the God Hand members. Instead of actually moving the plot in a relevant way, Miura prefers to give hints that the sandniggers or was it dotniggers including the old ass furry are going to side with Guts' shitty JRPG party and embarass scanlators of the past 10 years or so by showing that the elf kang is actually an elf qween.

Also Skull Knight killing Zodd never ever

>>19439

The only ones that actually matter to the plot are Guts, Griffith and Casca.

The others simply has no function whatsoever, which is why Berserk is shit now.

The Golden Age Arc is truly the Golden Age of Berserk, although the Black Swordsman Arc is where Berserk truly shines though.

>>20090

My best guess is セニ, seni

>>18761

The Tower of Conviction arc was that last one I could really enjoy.

>>21702

>This is the original miss Casca

Hell no she isn't.

So 356 is a filler chapter. yay.

>>23942

Literally 11 pages of nothing happens and spreads.

I expected a year of hiatus, yet still somehow managed to get disappointed.

>>23945

>the second part of that chapter was also spreads

Now that the boat arc is done, guess its time for the spread arc.

Mind as well just quit being serialized in a magazine and switch the whole thing to pixiv.

I am starting to think Miura is actually dead, and the reason why everthing is moving at a snail's pace with everything being spreads is because his assistants took over his name and cashflow.

>>30271

Things aren't moving slow at all, you just don't like the direction the story is going in.

>>30275

Not even counting the current filler chapters.

They got off the boat around the end of 2015.

Even if we round things up, that is still about 2 years just to go through some woods, meet the elf king and go through Casca's dream which was half flashbacks.

I wish it was just me being anal about where the story was going, since that would mean the story is actually moving at a pace someone who doesn't measure his lifespan in centuries can perceive.

>>30288

You gotta savor the journey. The art in the latest chapter was beautiful.

>>30289

Fuck the art!

Give me Casca lewds and sweet brutal action!

>>30294

>>30296

>muh casca

Plebs like you will never be satisfied because Muira is telling a real story, not some waifubait shitshow. Fuck that shitskin, Griffith is where it's at.

>>30297

>not some waifubait shitshow.

Nah. He's turning it into a lolibait JRPG high fantasy story when it should have stuck with brutal low fantasy.

>>30396

High fantasy can be dark or grimdark, you mong.

>>30394

>It was never low fantasy

>The world has always been high fantasy

That's where you're wrong, kiddo. Berserk started as low fantasy.

Remember all of the arcs before the Eclipse? Because I'm pretty sure you don't : they're all pretty mundane and magic isn't a big deal.

The world back then was a generally typical medieval setting, magic is simply non-existent in civilized society, humans are the only civilized race that exists (no dwarves, elves, orcs).

You simply don't see any fantasy creatures (dragons, unicorns, hydras, etc) wandering in plain sight, and the populace view them as merely myths and legends. Fantastical elements are very low during the first half.

>The creatures have always been magical

>The fight scenes have always been incredibly unrealistic

<Having unrealistic fight scenes and magical creatures automatically makes it high fantasy

Nigger…

>>30398

Elves well some knew about them were considered fake.

>>18724

>Can't remember being raped

>>18725

>There's someone I want to meet

inb4 she's pining for Griffith because they messed up the ritual to revive her.

>>30398

>mentions the very first arc in his post

>"Pretty sure you don't know about any of those old arcs"

Retard.

>>30404

What's your point even?

If you're telling me that the Black Swordsman arc is high fantasy then you're the retard.

Black Swordsman and Golden Age arcs are the best. The arc right after was ok. Then it just went into a decline.

I want Berserk to go back to the dark fantasy it started with.

Berserk is boring fantasy

>>30414

Wrong,

Black Swordsman > Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc > Conviction > Fantasia > Golden Age

Golden Age had the least amount of Puck so it was the worst.

>>30413

>Berserk has never, at any point in its existence, been low fantasy.

It has in the beginning, since the fantasy bits happen in the background, while the world at large is fairly mundane.

The world functions as it would have in a historical medieval setting, despite the existence of supernatural entities.

If this counts as high fantasy to you, then Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight are high fantasy too.

>If you look at these pages and think this is low fantasy, you're one of two things, either autistic or unaware of what low fantasy means.

Low fantasy simply means that the amount of fantastical elements in the story is kept low, as contrasted to high fantasy where fantastical elements are present in high abundance.

The world of Berserk during the earlier arcs have very low amount of fantasy elements, and thus can be classified as low fantasy. The world itself is very mundane, which is why everyone is bewildered and terrified during the World Transformation; because they all were living in a mundane setting.

>What is annoying me about you faggots is how you try to shit on the current chapters by saying they're nothing like the old chapters

>when the exact same thing could be said about when the comic went into flashback mode at the very beginning

The criticisms were based on the quality, not the chronology of events.

The mortality rate is simply nonsensical, if you compare the earlier arcs to the latest :

- a band of battle-hardened mercenaries and war veterans were cut down left and right when facing against supernatural monsters

- a small party of inexperienced teenagers with weak magical tools can survive against supernatural monster attacks again and again

The amount of filler in later arcs, bits that neither add anything to the story nor push the story forward :

- pointless fight scenes (Rosine, Rosine's beetle-men apostle-spawns, Mozgus' henchmen, Kelpie, pirates, Sea God)

- pointless events (Ganishka's army vs Griffith's army)

- pointless characters (Isidro, Farnese, Serpico, Isma)

>>30430

I agree with this take. There's a lot of fantasy world where mostly everything is normal medieval except every now and then there's a magic ring or whispers of a sorceror taking up refuge in a nearby cave. That take on Berserk was better. Power creep was a lot less of a concern than it is now.

>>30430

>historical medieval setting

No, it doesn't, no more than Star Wars takes place in historical futuristic setting. The world of Berserk is entirely fantastical with inspiration from European history and mythology. You're an autist.

>>30430

>pointless events (Ganishka's army vs Griffith's army)

>it was pointless to show why Griffith is hailed as a savior by the people of Midland

You're a complete fucking retard, there's literally nothing I can say to you that will stop you from being this much of a dipshit.

>>30435

No, the world does not function as it would have, Elves and trolls and all the rest always existed, humans just couldn't perceive them because of the spread universalist monotheism. The world wasn't mundane, the people were. You wrong and you refuse to admit it.

>>30435

>All of the apostles and apostle-spawn army was completely unnecessary.

>Also, if the battle was to showcase Griffith as a savior, then he could've just killed him when he visited Ganishka in his carriage.

You're seriously upset that he included cool battle sequences and spent time world building? By your retarded logic about 75% of every arc can be excluded because it isn't totally necessary to move the plot forward.

>>30435

>I loved it back then when Guts had to outsmart the apostles in order to kill them.

This never happened. He always just killed them because he's super stronk. You people have a false idea of what the comic once was. Guts was never intelligent, he's always been a brute, that's his character. For fuck's sake, did all you retards just watch the anime or something?

>>30437

>Elves and trolls and all the rest always existed

>The world wasn't mundane, the people were

You've completely forgotten about how the world of Berserk is a multi-layered one.

>>30437

>Elves and trolls and all the rest always existed

>The world wasn't mundane, the people were

You've completely forgotten that the world of Berserk is a multi-layered one. Magical creatures exist in the Interstice, not the material plane where people reside.

The physical world is mundane, the astral plane is not. And this fact is revealed in the second half of Berserk, not during the first few arcs.

>>30438

>You're seriously upset that he included cool battle sequences and spent time world building?

Nice strawman. I'm upset because the fight itself is irrelevant to the whole plot.

>>30439

>This never happened. He always just killed them because he's super stronk.

You never read the manga, did you?

- Guts killed the female Apostle in the first goddamn chapter by sleeping with her and blasting her when she let her guard down.

- Guts led the Snake apostle to believe that the fight is over to let his guard down, then blasted him with his arm cannon.

- Guts decapitated the Count by distracting him with his daughter

>>30441

In those later arcs its revealed that there weren't always solid barriers between the realms.

>>30441

>guts used his cannon at the last minute, this is a very clever tactic

lol, you really are low-iq, that's like saying shooting someone with a gun requires intelligence, it doesn't matter what I say, you're going to keep on doubling down.

>>30441

>I'm upset because the fight itself is irrelevant to the whole plot.

Once again, the majority of the fights could be skipped and the plot would remain the same, it's an action comic, if you don't like action you have only yourself to blame for being disappointed with it. Also, everything that happens in the story is the plot, if it's included then it can't be irrelevant to the plot because it is the plot. Make your own manga, you ingrateful little shit.

>>30446

>that's like saying shooting someone with a gun requires intelligence

<feigning defeat for surprise attacks does not require intelligence

Yeah, you're the one with the low iq here

> it doesn't matter what I say, you're going to keep on doubling down.

What a hypocrite. Remember that you said : This never happened. He always just killed them because he's super stronk. here >>30439 when that's clearly not the case.

He never overpowered apostles with his sheer strength (which you claimed to be the case), he was always beaten to a pulp whenever he fights against one, and he requires some unconventional tactics to win, like biting Rosine's horn.

Bump, anyone want to discuss how the anime is actually shit?
