And out of all of that one series is good, I think I heard the dreamcast game is decent and the movies...are not the best ways to get into the series (I like the third movie though). It's bigger than niche yes, but it's definitely mishandled outside of the manga.

I'm not about to defend the 16/17 series even though I did kind of enjoy it, but I'd say all three games are actually pretty solid.

Never left Japan, but there's a good fan translation out there. It adapts a pretty big chunk of the manga starting with Guts vs Zodd at the hill of swords and ending with Grunbeld. So it's not an original story like the DC game, but it does have one original mini-arc mixed in.

Did they even do a decent amount of fixes in the Anime Blu ray? They showed that one shot they opted to hand draw and never showed more. Of course I can't expect they'd do the whole show.

I stopped reading a few years ago (according to wikipedia this was almost a decade ago???) right before they got on the boat. I heard Berserk had come back out of hiatus a few months ago and let it cook a bit before chomping in. Finally started last week ....and it's back on hiatus. (._. )

It would be great to finally get that Puck flashback arc too while we're at it.

-Puck fighting with the group, almost dying. Record scratch and freeze frame-

oh hey, the name's Puck! And you're probably wondering how I got in this situation in the first place, huh? It's kind of a long story, let's rewind a bit!

How can you even do freeze frames and record scratches in comic form lmao. I'd love for someone to try it. Because it'd have no real way to imply it's frozen, more like it's a dialogue as the scene is going on

Who would like to see an anime of recent events done by Netflix? I've seen some of their animes recently and they're good

Is there anyone who wouldn't want a proper berserk anime to be made? Problem is at this point publishers must think the property is cursed outside of the Manga. I hope they're putting 2 and 2 together that bad adaptations equal bad sales.

Though I am curious how the movies sold. I think most still enjoyed them all things considered.

The movies did well AFAIK. I enjoyed them all especially that the CG was good in the movies not like the shitty newest anime
I think if Netflix took over we'll get an amazing Berserk anime that could go for seasons

Netflix already has the CG movies on their platform so I don't see an actual anime series would somehow be that much of a change of pace for them. They already seem to be pushing a lot of animes and putting out things like Castlevania.

Netflix Adapted Blame! The manga and movie are both bleak as fuck.

Problem might be whichever studio/distributing company currently has rights to berserk adaptations in Japan, and distribution in the west.

Does this mean a potential Netflix/HBO/whatever adaptation is really far off?

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if they put a bid in for the series but were a bit too late. It's obvious that they push Berserk because the movies have been on there for years. I honestly believe that Netflix will get the rights to it down the line. I can see Netflix getting Gantz too for another requested anime adaptation.

Netflix seems to be getting original anime via Japanese studios from their Netflix Japan, I don't think they have much creative input as to what they want for the service. There are others like duckroll and hosanna here who would know more, but seems to me like they just seem to me throwing money at studios to make essentially whatever shows they feel like as long as they're distributed via Netflix.

Well that's certainly weird. Looks like you may be on desktop, and I'm on mobile, but I don't see why that should have any effect on it.

They should appear if you search for berserk

Same here (both on desktop and mobile), it might be regional? 'cause I only get the berserk max edition (which I already have) and not the ones from dark horse.

It's region-locked yeah. The collections have never shown up for me either, even if I follow a direct link to an individual collection.

Bit late here, dunno if the sale's over, but for future reference:

English Berserk on comixology is region locked, yeah. I'm european and they don't show up. Buuuut if you use a US proxy on your local site the issues will show up just fine, in your local currency and everything. Easy.

And once purchased they'll always show up in your library like usual, so no worries there.

I doubt Dark Horse'll ever be able to solve the regional licencing limitations, but if they ever do it'd still be the exact same ones you'd be buying. And they still get your money. It's how I've been reading them.

any details on the omnibus collections yet? Ive been waiting for this to own physical Berserk for ages now.


edit:

WELL GOD. DAMN IT.
Oops, should've updated this thread with that news. I posted about it in the comic threads but totally forgot about posting it here.

It bummed me the fuck out, man. I've been wanting for Dark Horse to release those for years now.

What a fucking bait by DH. God dammit. Well at least the guidebook is still coming, right? Hopefully that'll turn out good.

Guess people are so used to hiatuses they just take wording too seriously.

I think he could reach a solid point for a hiatus in 2-3 chapters depending on how he deals with the after math of the most recent chapter.
