Berserk |OT| - A new ERA for the Band of the Hawk
- Thread starter Sir Guts
- Start date
ps. this goes without saying but the trailer is gore-y.
Just saw this trailer of 'Blade of the Immortal' and I keep thinking, why didn't Berserk get the same treatment?
I know nothing about the manga nor the old anime but at least visually this look great. There isn't really anything good you can say about recent Berserk anime.
We just need to get Miike to direct a Berserk movie and we'll get a solid anime in 2-3 years.
That trailer is good but 0 clangs. It's like they didn't learn anything from the Berserk anime.
Hahaha. Would watch. His Blade of the Immortal adaptation wasn't bad (but isn't nearly his best work).
The story that Mozgus tells about the sage who was tortured does not mention four angels. It just says "an" angel descended, which you can interpret as Void himself becoming the first God Hand. The four angels who destroyed the city was a different story, and there's a theory that it's actually referring to the four elemental kings.
As for how Void himself became a God Hand without any previous members to summon, a pretty good theory I read is that after being tortured, he projected himself into the Astral Plane and went into the Abyss, where he met the Idea of Evil and made a deal with it to become the first member of the God Hand. Void then created the behelits and the whole concept of sacrificing, which is why he's the one who performs the branding ritual and acts as the ring leader of the God Hand.

Well the implication of Void being at the thumb of the God Hand is pretty telling. You can't do anything without your thumbs so I have to think he's a lot more essential to the Idea of Evil (or whatever it ends up being) than the other 4, to some extent at least.
Would love to get backstory on her.
You probably wouldn't have gotten Femto without Ubik and Conrad mindfucking Griffith with their visions so I think the other four do have a use. Slann is just likes to toy with peoples libido's I assume.

wow, i had no idea blade of the immortal was getting a new anime. To be fair the first anime version of boti is one of the few things i would put next to the horror that was the last berserk show.
EDIT: On one hand Hamasaki is directing this (there's some shots there straight out of Shigurui), on the other it seems like they want to adapt the whole series in 24 episodes lol

I finally got around to reading the first couple of Duranki chapters. So far the story and all of the characters are pretty decent, but damn...the art sure is impeccable!
Yep, his other manga, Gigantomachia, gets really creepy sometimes...
At least he keeps this stuff to a minimum on Berserk, although it still isn't great...
Had no idea until now.. Crazy. BOI is one of my all-time fav manga, it's truly deep. Shocked me at various points, and genuinely disturbed me. It goes even further than Berserk at some points.
Felt it was time to do a reread of Berserk to catch up (haven't read since the infamous boat hiatus), and I totally forgot how almost explicit Griffith's implied romantic feelings for Guts is. I mean, the entire time Griffith is having sex with Charlotte all he's doing is thinking about Guts. Every irrational decision he makes has something to do with Guts. Looking up some discussions on the internet it kind of blows my mind that so many people are in denial about it. Miura all but states Griffith is in love with Guts but no, it's actually just strong platonic male friendship? Nah.
Just nothing but two 100% heterosexual men having a platonic water fight together. Nothing romantic to see here. Griffith is honestly at his most human and relaxed when he's with Guts. If people can't see his feelings for Guts then they're stupid or horribly in denial.
I always felt like a lot of the fans approach Berserk with the same mindset you'd expect of a shounen manga/anime so it doesn't surprise me that many wouldn't even begin to consider the two main male protagonists to have actual feelings for each other. It's unheard of in the shounen world (afaik)
On the other hand the reveal of two chapters ago should make things even more awkward between them lol
How in the world is Guts going to defeat Griffith? Is he going to have to start sniffing Behelits?
Also Guts is the last thing Griffith sees and thinks of before becoming Femto, it's quite obvious.
I barely remember but you mean the demon baby that became the black hair kid?
That look you give when you see the two people you want to fuck fucking each other.That look of pure jealousy.
Should have been Penis monsters but I'll take itGreat volume (and cover).
You could say there's some ambiguity but nothing really supports the interpretation that there is an unequivocal romantic feeling of Griffith for Guts.

I've reread Berserk multiple times but I think I just figured out for the first time that the symbol of the Holy See is actually a corrupted version of the brand of sacrifice. It's just different enough not to be obvious but the similarity is clearly visible when you look.
It has definitely been a speculation for many years that they are connected. The brand was different in the prototype so Miura might wanted it to be similar to something else and changed it. The holy see symbol resembles the hermes staff.
Finally! After so many years of waiting they've finally got off the ship. Feels almost unreal, I often wondered if it would ever happen at all.
Yes i realize they actually got off the ship a while ago but I haven't picked up the series again in more than 5 years.

You should be in for a trip.
