oops. skullnight is out, good. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Well, both the translation and the chapter I got from skullknight.
262 is out; look for the torrent on mininova.com
Damn, I didn't see Ganishka coming in like that or just him sending out a fog like effect, awesome!!
Well it seems things will be getting underway, the port is in flames, Kushan is right there, about to attack, can't wait for 263, but it's going to be an even longer wait
Guts is really pissed now, an Apostle has come in front of him, but he doesn't know if he's under Girffiths, but it wouldn't really matter anyway.
October 14 for chapter 263.
Yeah Guts wanna destroy every apostle.
The face Guts made when he felt an apostle presence it was so cool,like the good old days where guts made faces like that all the time [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Now let the war start, hope Guts starts going in killing spree with his anger for the king [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I saw this and just had to post it.

man the coolest looking Guts cosplay ever!
Specially the hair is very similer to Guts.
yeah all he needs is the little white streak and he's golden, hehe. But that image looks straight out of the photoshop fires to me, and if it is who cares, still a pretty sweet pic.
I just recently got around to reading the berzerk manga. I've read up to volume 26. Can any of your recommend a good site where I can go and download the next volumes/chapters. Also another quick question where is berzerk published is it only released in volumes or does it come out on a weekly basis serialized in some magazine?
Here ya go mag try here http://bt.mindwerks.net/Quote:

Go here and download berserk www.mangatraders.com
Berserk is released on every 2nd and 4th friday of every month. Well, we are waiting for October 14th at the moment, as that's when the next chapter will be out. It's released by Young Animal. It's basically a bi-weekly release.
Wow, that's pretty good. But needs to be taller.Quote:

Episode 263: Invasion of the Pishacha
page 1
Crowd1: Look! The port's on fire!?
Crowd2: The Kushan attack at night? This is no accident?
Crowd3: What's going on?
Knight1: Move it! Move it!!
Knight2: Clear the way!!
Crowd4: Hey!! Guard, what's going on there??
Crowd5: We are going to confirm that ourselves right now!! Let us pass!!
Crowd6: Even at best effort, it's hard to move in this fog..!!
page 2
Crowd1: Hiiii
Crowd2: What is that!?
page 4
Monster..!!
page 10
Guard1: Report!
wonder what will happen if they rest of the crew finds out he was of the hawks band
Well, the crew are bound to find out sooner or later, I don't think any of them heard it then, seems it's soon time for them to know who he was.
oh yeah, Evil Genius version out at www.tokyotosho.com... Go grab it right away.
Edit: Woooohooo, finally we might be getting somewhere in the story...
*Spoiler*
Finally the long-awatied trip to Elf"Hell" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] and finally might we be able to see the expressions on the group finding out that Guts is really the great Raider Commander of the Band of the Hawk [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Wahooooooooooo.....
Kai, When is the next chap due arrival?
Yeah, should be getting over to that Elfhelm place soon which is good, been waiting to reach that destination for a LONG time now, be good for them.
I think we'll be seeing a few more fights here and stuff, not too many but a few, then get back once they reach Elfhelm, Guts should be able to have his wound completely heal.
Next chapter is the 28th.
Same day as my second exam [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Might prove to cheer me up a bit [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
THe day after my FINAL PAPER!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA...
my exams start tomorrow though.
The final quote "Excuse me sir, might you be the Leader of the Band of the Hawk Raiders?" ... Got my blood running. Shit.. I must calm down.. calm down.. calm down.. It's only Macroeconomics2 paper tomorrow.
A thought to consider though, even though Gatts and his crew are running away, Griffith and his army is camped outside no? They should be pouring down the hills to protect the city and Big Papa Vandemioin should be rather safe, unless Griffith decides to take power from him. Which he can easily because the Queen of MIdlands is there beside him. At the moment, the only one who can stop the evil Kushans is Griffith and Griffith's army alone. So might as well Big Papa Vandemion back Griffith's army up.
Griffith wanna become a hero again before he takes over the power.
I only hope Guts fights against Ganeska(sp?) or some other apostle before they leave town.
Roderick is the biggest fool of them all to think he can take Farnese under Gutts nose.
I never cared for farnese anyway, she's better than the witch, but since she got all spiritual on us... just bad.
now, what we need is a bit of grifftithing, some of that 'prince of perscia' ninja guy with his mooshy apostle spy, and then a big dose of guts ass kicking the kushans from one side and the neo hawks from the other side.
by the way, there's the berserk pilot chapter up in EG. check it out, it's quite good.
I think Rodericks good for Farnese imo. He'll be the 'eventual' winner of her heart. Seems more perfect that way. But this show is never always nice.
I wonder when they going to pair up with Azan. Or will Azan join their group or Griffith's?
Roderick is a prick that wants her only for her family name.
I miss Prince of persia.
What, Farnese ala. S&M was better you mean? Getting off while whipping herself and getting off while burning people...... Well hell, now that I think about it, at least she got her womanly plesures fullfilled [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] No, even if she acts like a kid and is constantly nervous I still like her much more now, she has cleansed her heart and npw walks a straight path to become yet another one of Guts puppets/slaves (cough cough) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] MuhahahahahahaQuote:

264 preview, pretty lame preview at that.
http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/sp/img/05v21.jpg
Maybe he is someone important?
Well, it was the pope afterall.
I liked this chapter, i was hoping that the group would overhear Guts' talk with Owen.
The art for this chapter was awesome.
No translations as of yet.
264 will be out on mondays according to EG.
nah its already out, but i forgot where i got it from. i only have the raw thogh so i have no idea what was said.
EG is a scanlation group , thats what he meantQuote:

Heh yeah thats what i meant, who cares about the raw we cant read it.
That's why you get the translation which is out.
lies! deceit!Quote:

I dont understand why you read translation when you can wait a day or two for the scan.
Because i'm a real Berserk fan!!!!
Do you do it for Bleach? Naruto? any other manga out there?
is it out yet?? i almost forgot about it....
Not by [EG] at least on tokyotosho. but otherwise...
Naw i dont do it for other mangas cause i dont want to spoil for myself and specialy not Berserk who are my fav of them all.Quote:
Originally posted by: kAi

Well, now, as much as I would like to look at the raw and read a separate translation simultaneously, I'd rather save my eyes the inevitable wear and tear by just reading the scanslation.
Speaking of which, where is the next chapter that I was waiting for since last week?
Well it should be out by now, but I guess [EG] is slacking off or they must be very busy with something that is more important than Berserk (are there such things?).
Every day that passes by without me getting [EG] i feel more and more inclined to read the separate translation...
Plz save us oh great [EG]!!
Reading a seperate text translation and raw isn't spoiling in anyway, i just like to read berserk as soon as it comes out.
You guys have to wait a week longer it seems before you get the new chapter., while next friday, i'll be reading the new chapter.
dude, plz give me a link to the translation and raw. I'm tired of waiting.
EG team leader has real life issues so the chaps will be out soon but not right now.
Kai:
Normaly EG chap is out max three days after the raw.
So you are telling you dont read EG at all?
DUDES, it's out... get it at www.tokyotosho.com
***Spoiler***: And as suspected, no truth about Guts past was shed upon the small lives of his companions.. And by the way, how come so many people are following Guts? He has told of no reason to fight, he has not been kind to the people following. They follow him because they see the truth in everything he does or what?
Well, some of them follow Gatts for their own reasons.Quote:

*Caska - Because Gatts want her to come along, but she needs help
*Farnese - Following little witch, and also follows Gatts, she believes that he would show her the way, the truth.. etc, bla bla bla. Practically, she's screwed up in the head. But Imo, being in the eye of the storm of whats happening in the world might be the safest place.
*Serpico - I think he personally hates Gatts and is scared of Gatts. All he cares is Farnese's safety. He probably has some incestrous feelings for her. But truly loves Farnese to protect her. Hence, he hates Gatts, not only that demons come at night will attack them but the berserker. That when the berserker armour is on, he knows that there will come a time that they will fight again. Like Farnese's mother said, "You must be screwey in the head too I guess" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Spot on.
*Little witch - Masters orders. Simple as that.
And the other boy wants to be a swordsman. Simple.
Yes of course, but to me those reasons all seem superficial. I don't know if I'm only trying to dig deeper than the pit will actually allow me to but, oh well.
Well, either than that, it'll probably be some of those 'destiny' talks. How Griffith is supposed to be King, and Gatts is outside the laws of casualty yada yada.
In the case of "destiny," I can only imagine what will happen to Guts' merry band of friends.
Isn't it the case that pretty much anyone that Guts ever has contact with will get screwed someway or another?
Heheh.. true. I think so too.
I have a very very deep feeling, the final end to Berserk Manga would never be a happy one. It just wouldn't be 'right'. Probably end up everyone dying.
I'm still sticking with my theory that Gatts is the ultimate bad guy of the berserk series. Not a evil bad guy, but the misunderstood bad guy of the world.
Griffith is destined to be the King of the world, bring mankind and monster together destroying all enemies and probably reigning in peace. And the only one who would eventually stop him is Gatts, because he is the berserker.
A few cases where this is untrue. Erica, Rickert, Godou and the little girl who's friend became an evil elf.Quote:

Stoopider: I came to the same conclusion when watching the anime series once more. But not a bad guy, rather that the world is fucking messed up and don't see the truth in the good that he does.
Kai: So the next chap we'll see this week on friday?
Sometimes, I like SK's translations, and the raws they get are of high quality.Quote:
So you are telling you dont read EG at all?
yeah.Quote:
Kai: So the next chap we'll see this week on friday?
Now, that the pope is wanting to be with Griffiths, he's going to get alot more people behind him. All those religious people will be following him now, gets a new army.
I'm also wondering why the Owen and Guts talk was brought up, a reason could be for the people that are with him now to find out that he was indeed the Raiding Commander of the Hawks, can't think of anything else at the moment. Although it was most probably a way of bringing Owen in, and to know that he's wanting to get in with Griffiths which will happen soon.
I think Owen's looking for Griffith. I remember Midland capital is conquered, hence Laban is there. Lord Owen's looking for people to join his army. And considering Gutts is there, he might think Gutts is part of Griffith's army still. And the prophecy keeps on talking about the white hawk who would save them all.
Well, I put in the "pretty much everyone" as a safeguard because, like you, I remembered that Godo died a peaceful death in his cottage in the company of Erica and Rickert. But then, I also remembered the tragedy of Colette and her father, the rest of the Band of Hawk, and Griffith.Quote:
A few cases where this is untrue. Erica, Rickert, Godou and the little girl who's friend became an evil elf.
Speaking of Griffith, it's still hard to determine whether his actions are "good," and for the benefit of the world, or just purely evil. That being said, the only time I could see him as "evil" would be his brief existance as Femto...
In my rightful mind, I can not really relate with anything that has to do with demons wanting to eat humans live together with them as good.
Wait a second? Isn't Griffith still femto? Just because he's been reincarnated back on earth dosen't mean that he isn't one of the godhands. My guess is that should griffith defeat the kushans, (or al queda as I like to call them) that he will then instituite his own reign of power and terror like none before bringing about the apocolypse. Don't they keep on referring to the prophecy about the the hawk bringing about the world's end and a new age of darkness like none before.
Oh is it just me or does it seem like the manga's been signifigantly toned down ever since gatts got his merry band of companions to roam around the countryside with. Not nearly as much rape and pillaging as there was before. Completely different tone then the other arcs. Although I do admist seeing something positive happen is a nice change of pace from the norm. Also seems as if gatt's is calming down in his old age (white spot in hair) and becomming more docile as opposed to his more brutal savage self. Oh also I'm just wondering wanted to throw out my theory of the armor and see what you guys think.
Armor serves as a very unique visual literary device. I quite literally serves as a point of manifestation for gatt's unquealchable rage. Throughout the entire series we've seen bits and pieces of gatts rage which makes him almost a greater monster then the one's he's foced to fight. His sheer rage is something that threatens to consume him in battle. I guess that's why I really like the armor.
Oh one last question. Just wondering do the first three volumes serve as events that occured during the two year time lapse between Gatt's first encounter with the eclipse and the part in the manga where it takes place two years after with him hunting fighting the evil fairy girl and being tracked down by the knights of the holy chain?
Griffiths was reincarnated back to flesh from his God Hand form, he's still a god hand, but just flesh.
The tone down just goes with the arc really, well that's how I see it, it isn't a brutal part, it's more of a get to a certain place also with Guts being injured from Slan wasn't a good thing either. Also, Guts is only like 22 years old.
and your last question is correct.
Yeah, that is something that most people forget... Guts age. Most people seem to think that just because he got a few grey straws on his head, he is 40. I counted the years a little while back, and as Kai says, he is around 22-25 years old.
He is still far from the perfected warrior berserk and he knows it. He has also learnt that being a warrior does not only mean being able to kill a 100 demons in one night but also being knowledgable and understand politics and psychology.
A Berserk is good, but being cold and subtle is better.
But damn why is this arc moving so slowly??? Kai, when is the next chap due arrival?
Hehe why would Guts need to understand politics? Its not like he lives in thier world. In his world there are two things his friends and getting rid of Griffith and his apostles.
According to a timeline in skullknigt he is 23 or 24.
About toning down it wouldnt be so good if the manga was brutal as before all the time. Guts and his band must have thier moments before the horrible things happen again.
When he gets rid of Casca current problem,then hopefully it will be more battles cause sometime he has to face the apostles again.
Guts and Griffith's weapons (and the way they fight) symbolize how they deal with the world.Quote:

Guts isn't that stupid, he's got a very good head for tactics, but he makes remarks somewhere in the series how much he hates politics. All backstabbing and no honor I suppose. I think somewhere else he tells Serpicio that he'll kill him face to face. (or I might be getting confused with Ares. Too much manga recently.)
The Dragonslayer symbolizes that. It a huge sword that allows for no subtlety, just like Guts. He can use it far more fluidly than anyone thinks any human could, mostly through spins and such. Just like facing Guts, when the Dragonslayer comes in, you know exactly what's coming at you, but you also know there's really no way you can stop it.
Griffith on the other hand uses a fine long sword, and he fights a lot more like Serpicio, using finesse instead of raw power. He'll use whatever political means he can, like his *cough* fundraising practices. We rarely see Griffith actually fight, he's usually involved in some intrigue or leading the troops. That sort of quick thrust fighting is the same as how he operates politically, where Guts avoids it all together, preferring the direct approach.
Well said.
However, where would Guts' arm cannon, crossbow, and bombs fall into this?
Unlike the DS, the arm cannon isn't that conspicuous, unless you knew it was already there. And for the most part, Guts' foes only see the fake arm.
265 Preview, looks pretty damn cool to me, seems to have some good action this chapter.
http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/sp/img/05v22.jpg
Just finished with chapter 265, no translation as of yet, I'll post a link when it's up.
Nice action, Guts and co are straight into the action, and nice big suprise at the end of the chapter. Didn't think it would be so quick.
As I see it, the fake arm cannon has been his last resort when he is in a pinch. But the fake arm, the throwing knives and the crossbow isn't a part of him like his sword, like he says at the end of the series. His sword is more than a dream, it is himself in a lot of ways.Quote:

This chap looks aweseome, but it will probably end right before anything ever happens.
hehe
mangatraders.com has the chapter up.
just the raw?
probably, since EG is probably the first to sub, and when it comes out, we will know.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it needs to be said.
December 22 is when chapter 266 will be released.
265 text translation, hurry and read.
Millennium Falcon arc
Chapter of Falconia
City of the Pishacha
page 1
Knight: Don't falter!!
Don't fall back! Defend this district with your lives! !
So this is Kushan *sorcery*...!!
Don't fall for their trickery!!
Crowd: Uwahhh, they're coming!!
page 2
Crowd: Commander!! Those (things) are no deception...!!
Hiii..
Knight: R..Reinforcements!?
page 4
Guts: Tch! We promptly ran into them,huh?
Schierke: I'm sorry but it's difficult to read the Od because of the chaos inside the city..
Ivarella: A new species,again?
page 5
Guts: Oh well, we might as well force our way through.
page 6
Crowd: W..Who is that man!?
He (slays) those monsters with one swing..!!
Schierke: Guts, watch it, if you're being rash, the power of the armour will again...
Guts: This can't be compared to the competition with Serpico
Farnese/All: Eh?
Isidro: Shaa! (I think) i'll also get a bit violent then!
Puck: Make no mistake.
Roderick: Oi! Is that really alright? Aside from that swordsman Guts, those two...
*Nevertheless, they're (just) brats.*
page 7
Farnese: I think it's alright.
Because it's always like this.
page 8
Puck: Let's go!! Teacher & Student Attack!!
Isidro: Ah!
Puck: Charge!
Puck: Puck Spark!
Puck: Follow me, Padawan.
Isidro: Well, that's okay..
page 9
Crowd: H..He flew..!!
Crowd: He cuts them down without them even touching him!!
Crowd: The enemies burst into flames..!?
Roderick: That's..!?
Ivarella: Aren't you stupid? It's magic, of course.
Magnifico: Magic...
Ivarella: Look! Get them out! Ivarellas'! (note: in case you have already forgotten, it's a word-play: ibarera no (Ivarellas') : ibara no hebi (Serpents of Thorns).
Ivarella: That smarts really good.
page 10
Farnese: Yeah
Ivarella: It's magic.
Roderick: Farnese. What are you people..?
Ivarella: Schierke,Ivarella and their group of (loyal) servants.
Schierke: ! Guts!
page 11
Serpico: We disposed almost all of them, right?
Isidro: You're late with locating, witch.
Guts: Let's hurry!
Schierke: Let's go, if we linger around too much, we could probably be attacked by enemies again.
Ivarella: Well, (they) were frightened here,right?
Roderick: ..Amazing! Your little sister and her company!
Magnifico: A..A witch from House Vandimion...
page 12
Crowd: They don't fear those monsters as opponents at all. Such a skillful way of fighting...
Crowd: Who are those people that accompany him?
page 13
Ivarella: How awful..
Guts: Just like a battlefield.
Schierke: *It's just like Sonia showed it to me...*
Roderick: If we escape through that warehouse area, we will reach the port! Let's hurry before that fire rolls over us.
Guts: Wait!
page 16
Isidro: Another one appeared!!
Puck: Hanagon (note: a bit tricky, i think it's a contraction of hana "nose" and kon, which is the term for a big,mythical fish..maybe i'm thinking too hard on that one. Suggestions are welcome!)
Roderick: T..That's...!?
Serpico: So, it wasn't just this one (from back then).
Magnifico: Hiiii!!
page 17
Magnifico: H..Hiii! (They come) from here as well!!
Schierke: That's not good!
Serpico: That's quite a bother!
Ivarella: An overbite festival.
page 18
Guts: I'll leave the small ones for you while i'll smash the big one.
Schierke: B..But Guts...
Guts: No problem.
Guts: ...But..In case something goes wrong, i'll leave it to you. (note: he actually says something around the lines of "when i'm crippled/crawling" ..whatever, i think it meets his thought^^)
Schierke: I understand (thoroughly).
page 19
Isidro/Guts: Well then
Guts: Shall we begin?
WAH WAH WAH!!!
Awesome! Damn.. December 22nd!?
December 22nd, huh?
I'm currently dying on the inside due to this bit of news.
Thats cause Guts and Griffith are totaly diffrent. Guts uses the direct approach cause he has the raw power for it while Griffith has to have an army and be political cause he doesnt have Guts streangth and Griffith have things that Guts doesnt have.Quote:

Damn... its almost 2 months left we have been spolied lately by almost biweekly chaps.
Just had a thought.
Though Griffith surely does not possess the raw power that Guts has, does he, as the reborn Millenium Falcon, still possess Godhand power? (i.e. can he still crush variable amounts of space and manipulate objects just by willing it?) It's been shown that he can dodge arrows with relative ease.
Maybe he does not have all the power like a femto since he must be restricted in some manors with a human body. But he has indeed powers beyond that of an average human.
I'd say Guts would have quite a hard time fighting Griffith, or there would be nothing more to the story really. If he just beat him like in the snowfield when he left the band of the hawks there would be no struggle.
He cant have the God hands power, an evidence of that can be that Zodd is his bodygourd. He is still stronger than Guts since he isnt human anymore but he woulndt hurt Guts just by being near him as when he was Femto.
Well that was basically what I said.
Zodd chooses to be his bodyguard.Quote:

Also, Guts' starts bleeding out the back of his neck when he see's Griffiths, I think it didn't hurt him at the time simply because of the rage at the moment, and then fighting Zodd, but it does hurt Casca though.
My question is this if Griffith has been reincarnated did he lose his godhand powers. What exactly is he now? Is he still a godhand member and if so why the hell dosen't he use his demonic powers to simply crush Al Queda, opps I mean the Kushaan army. Is he mortal and why would he want to be reincarnated as opposed to being one of the supreme beings? So many questions so few answers. Also if Gatts met up with Griffith or Zodd would he win considering that he has the armor which buffs up his stregth considerably?
I believe he is still a god hand, it's just that he is in fleshly form, he still has some of his powers, how much i don't know but he does have them, his dream is to have his own kingdom/country which is the reason he took fleshly form. I also think Griffiths can be killed, I think God hands can be killed.
God hands can be killed otherwise why would the brand protect Femto when Guts tried to attack him the first time he saw him as Femto.
I just finished watching the anime, but the ending left such a void that I have to read the manga. I just want to make sure I have the right stuff.
Does the first chapter begin with Guts having sex with a woman/demon?
And also, do they still make berserk? (the manga)
The anime sucks compared to the manga mate, some things dont match with the manga (also the reason we havent got more anime episodes i believe, correct me if i'm wrong).
I dont really know where the manga starts since the first volume i got is volume 4.
and yes the manga is still going they're working on volume 30 atm so u got a couple of hours of reading to do [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
@el_boss
The anime starts where the manga starts, except that the manga includes the scene that you mentioned, the one with Guts and the fem-apostle.
@flaps
The anime doesn't SUCK, per se. I believe it does an excellent job of animating the manga material with the exception of the omission of certain details, due to the fact that they would only serve to complicate things because the anime does only go so far...
forgot to mention the "imo" tbh [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] from what i can remember i found the animation quite sloppy compared to other animes and when i started reading the manga i only hated the anime more but this is my opinion [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
You do realize the anime was made in 1997, 9 years ago? I don't know whether or not you've been watching some of the older classics, but that was pretty much the standard of quality back then. Berserk's animation fits the manga just about perfectly, barring minor things eliminated to reduce the blood and rape to acceptable levels for airing on television.
If you think Berserk looks that bad, you need to rewatch Evangelion, the first season of Pokemon, and Slayers. They all look about the same because back then, they were all drawn by hand. Sure, the titles today look great, but Berserk was an incredible series for its time.
I actually really liked the anime. That's the reason I'm going to read the manga. I had no problem with the quality, maybe the coloring is a little crude but the animations are smooth. I have to say though, I tought the anime was much older. Like from the same time as Dragonball. When I saw that it is from 1997 I was a little surprised.
I have a theory as to why they stopped the show. The executives saw the last episode and though "omg this is too bloody and a demon having sex with a human woman, we can't show more of this". (I know that's not the reason, but who knows?)
@bagandscalpel: Thanks for the answer.
'97, huh?
Correct me if I'm wrong, since this is a longshot guess of mine, and I don't know where the manga was at during the time the anime was made, but...
I think, from the beginning, that the anime producers knew that if they were to animate Berserk from beginning to THE end, they would overtake the manga at some point or another. And if that's the case, heinous acts against humanity would ensue in the form of filler episodes (i.e. the death of the Ruroken anime and current decay of Naruto). Hence, they decided to purposely cut it short at the series' climax and cut out key characters/events (Puck and Skullknight). In conclusion, if this indeed was the case, then, this is probably a rare case of whoever-plans-these-things making wise decisions.
My theory on the brevity of Berserk, thank you.
The manga would've been about half what it is now, volume 15 around that area.
As long as the manga continues i'm not bothered if they don't do another anime.
Although, it would be good, but things need to be fixed up.
Imo, the anime has to be re... animated. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
It would be excellent if they redo it with cool graphics, and for once, follow the damn manga rather than changing it.
Nah, I liked the animation style and still do, I think it's the best look for something like Berserk.
i agree..the gritty look really works, and really enhances the subject matter
Chapter 266 raw is out, with translation.
After that long wait we get straight into some Guts action.
He fought down the beast well, and it seems the old Guts is back.
EG version came out two days ago.
Man I am getting pissed, we waited quietly and this was all we got. And not only that, we have to wait until the 13th of januari.... No way, I quit... I will wait 1 year and then read again.
well 267 came out quite a while ago.
good chapter, need more
get to see Schierke do her thing, and Guts try to do his thing.
It's funny, but, why do I get the feeling that the reason the crew's taking so long to get ANYWHERE is because they've got one too many people?
Then I look back at previous chapters in, say, the Retribution arc, and Guts, by himself, is able to travel leagues upon end in one chapter.
Oh well, at least they're finally leaving Vritannis...
Thats what the problem with traveling with a group,Guts must protect them all the time. If he was alone,it would take much less time to kill these monsters and make a way for himself.
Thats something i miss,the old days when he didnt have to play a babysitter. I really really miss the lone wolf. Thats why i hope he dumps Casca and the others except Shierke who he needs.
