Berserk 285 and more!

  » Posted April 29th, 2007 by psi29a

We have a bit of good news and a bit of bad news. Good news is that we have more Berserk for you all, yay! We also have a metric ass-ton of Zetman and an Angel Heart as well. So, this leads up to the bad news. 286 of Berserk won’t be out in Japan till June 22nd. Yes yes, we know… it makes us a bit sick too. We will keep on keeping on and fill the berserk-less gap with other manga. So remember, the sooner you guys can find us the raws for B.Reaction! 10-14, the sooner we can turn it around to you all with a translation. So far, our two leads in Japan have turned up nothing thus far. *sigh*

Edit/Update:
Attention to those who use Peer Guardian!

It has come to our attention that Peer Guardian blocks our tracker. This hurts you all and we are not happy about it either. We have submitted a request to remove the filter for our tracker but in the mean time, per their FAQ entry:

Q) PeerGuardian is blocking my favorite site! How do I unblock it?

A) Right click in the log and add it to your permanent allow list.

So, if you have having troubles connecting tracker, but you can reach this page then either:

There is nothing realistic we can do to fix the above problems. Good luck.

    You guys rock thank you so much for all the hard work

  3. radwimp Says:

    June 22nd? Man, that sucks…

    Well, thanks for 285 in any case. Keep up the awesome work!

  4. Bleach Says:

    Kick-ass. Thanks again!

  5. moondo Says:

    no offense to anyone doing this work, but honestly i think that Mr. Miura should just go off to a mountain with loads of ink and paper, finish off the whole berserk series and release the completed works. again, no offense to anyone and sorry for bitching, but personally i’m kinda tired of seeing 10 pages or so of a story that is so long. anyways… thanks for the release.

  6. stoil Says:

    thank you very much good sirs

  7. Shinobi Says:

    Yay! Thanks a lot for translating Berserk!

  8. Daiceman Says:

    Moondo, whats to keep you from not downloading them for say, a whole year, then get it all at the same time. It would produce the same result, but us people who like the up to the minute berserk, would still be able to get our fix.

  9. the dude Says:

    well, nothing political can stop griffith now, and i think that only one person really wants to stop griffith; but the question:

    Is it moral for Guts to kill Griffith?

    obviously griffiths betrayal was horrible (lets not go into details, i AM bearing it all in mind though) but he is saving alot of people and bringing lots of joy to the torn apart country.
    his only dream was to become king, so if he does it, he will do it right, and repair the country in the process; we all believe guts is entitled to revenge for what happened, but think about this from a hedonic calculus view (its a part of utilitarianism, that makes you work out which action gives the most joy for the most amount of people) it would be better for guts to leave Griffith as king; will the satisfaction that guts gets be MORE than the joy of hundreds of thousands of people having their lives rebuilt? i think not…

    one reason why i love berserk so much, seems like a mindless hack and slash to most, but has a deep moral lining underneath.
    also june 22nd? DAMN! oh well…

  10. Harkan Says:

    Its a real pity they dont release Berserk as an OAV(either that or OVA) like Hellsing

  11. BigBonk Says:

    It’s been a slow volume, this no. 32 allright. Some people want Berserk to finish already; but personally I believe in the power of having something to look forward to. I don’t have a bad life and can fill out my time with other stuff, and when the chapter comes out it’s a great joy. And you know, some people have been following this story for more than 10 years, and a few since the beginning 17 years ago.

    I don’t know Moondo how long time it’s been since you began reading berserk, but my bet is you haven’t been around since 1990. I know it’s tough with a new 2 month gap coming in, but I try to be optimistic, this must mean that Miura plans on shifting back to Gutts and crew in the next chapter.

    Anyways thanks to E-G for ch. 285

  12. BoA_Lover Says:

    thanks for the hard work guys.
    keep it up!

  13. Maelstrom Says:

    Looks like we are going to be back with guts in the next release!
    I don’t beleive in griffith’ good intentions. I think he have an ugly plan in mind.
    Thx to Evil genius and thx to miura :)

  14. PLUG Says:

    No Biomega release?!! Nooooooooo. I can´t wait for chapter 21. I hope you release it soon.
    By the way, many thnaks for scanlating this great manga.

    “Is it moral for Guts to kill Griffith?

    obviously griffiths betrayal was horrible (lets not go into details, i AM bearing it all in mind though) but he is saving alot of people and bringing lots of joy to the torn apart country.”

    Well IMO he’s the same person as the demon king from the kushan empire. His sole purpose is not safety of the people but authority of the king. King of kushan was doing the same thing, he was hiding the demonic soldiers from his regular army (like the “mask” showed that kushan’s guy the birth of the demonic soldiers. No matter what the sole purpose is to stop both of them no matter what.

    i posted on the previous volume 284 already that i cant connect to the tracker. my comment was deleted. my ip is 213.54.151.xx … so in case that all ips in the 213.54.xxx.xxx range are blocked, just say it, so i can go search elsewhere.. or give us a direct download link… please =)

  17. Mannis Says:

    the dude are you really figuring all that out now? Miura has been trying to put that idea into our heads since Griffiths rebirth…

  18. psi29a Says:

    @mynamerequrired?:

    If you can read this, and post (which it seems you can), then we are not blocking you.

    You may wish to investigate your ISP to make sure they are preventing outgoing requests to port 60000.

  19. krazyivan Says:

    had the same problem last time – i was able to get the tracer on the fallowing day and it seems that lighting strikes twice – becouse i have the same problem -i hope it’ll be OK by tomorow. Anybody has anybody any thories why such a thing may occur ??

  20. krazyivan Says:

    @mynamerequrired? – where are you from
    i’m suspecting that for some reason this may be the case of location – i’m writing form poland – our internet is still powered by hamsters …

    p.s. sorry for double posting

  21. krazyivan Says:

    strange – for some reason this serwer was on my peerquardian blocklist. now evething OK

  22. qaz Says:

    Thanks for all your translations guys. It will be a long wait now.

    @mynamerequrired
    Evil genius tracker IP is being blocked by peerguardian, you have to (permanently) allow it.

    “griffiths betrayal was horrible but he is saving alot of people and bringing lots of joy to the torn apart country”

    He is not saving anyone I bet. He is gathering the lambs that will be sacrificed (probably in that coming battle with the Emperor) so that he can gain even more power.

    Remember he sacrificed all his friends and warriors before. He will do it again.

  23. LoverofHokuto Says:

    Considering the difficulties the team passed recently, I really thank and commend you guys for bringing us yet another chapter :) Keep up the excellent work!!!

    Now in regards to the problem about the download link and leaving comments, I think krazyivan hit the nail on the head. I too had this problem when I was using Peer2guardian. All you have to do is either unblock the Evil_Genius address or disable Peer2guardian temporarily.

    But June? That’s just… pure evil…

  27. uvonky Says:

    A most triumphant release…cant wait till the ides of june.

  28. Samael Daemon Says:

    The pope looks kind of funny, I bet he’s a deamon as well..
    I also bet that miura was inpired by the real pope in the vatican who kinda looks like Darths Sidious doesen’e he?
    (with all do respect your holyness)

    E.G Rocks. period.

    “Is it moral for Guts to kill Griffith?

    obviously griffiths betrayal was horrible (lets not go into details, i AM bearing it all in mind though) but he is saving alot of people and bringing lots of joy to the torn apart country.”

    You people DO remember that he is the leader of the Knights of the Apocalypse as previously stated in the series and also that his sole purpose is to bring a new age of darkness, right? I think its definitely moral, but Guts himself isnt so sure at the moment. I think when they reach the island that theyll figure out what he’s up to and reach some kind of plan of attack.

    Thank you very much for your great translation work.

    “Is it moral for Guts to kill Griffith?

    obviously griffiths betrayal was horrible (lets not go into details, i AM bearing it all in mind though) but he is saving alot of people and bringing lots of joy to the torn apart country.”

    in the first episode of Berserk anime, people in town said that things were getting worse since Griffith has became King, Maybe Miura (who had a view on the anime screenplay) had this idea since the beginning.

  31. psi29a Says:

    @Noah:

    Please keep in mind that the anime is an enclosed arc that has taken several deviations from the manga, this includes Griffith as King.

    One should not use anime as any indicator (or the basis of any line of argument) for a manga, as the two are separate (even if somewhat similar).

    This is specifically the case here in Berserk. Let us compare apples to apples (manga), not oranges (anime).

  32. Arf Says:

    I think that what miura wants to show is that God is evil, and so the belief of the Midland people (Look at the pope, he almost died of joy after seeing grifith, and we all know what really he is). I’m sure he thinks the same of this world’s “god”…
    I recommend you to look for the berserk lost chapter, where grifith met god.

    My theory may be wrong, so if someone has to say something please do it.

  33. Bleach Says:

    Guts just simply wants to protect Caska and avenge the original hawks. Remeber when he encounters the aristocrats in that party involving “Dragon Tigers”, he would have left them to be devoured by said tigers if it were not for the urgings of his team. Everything else he can really care less about.

  34. Josef K. Says:

    seems I cannot download the torrent (it always says me time expired :\)
    can somebody check the link or rapidshare the torrent (just the torrent not the file)?

    BTW
    TKS for your great work ^_^

  35. Andre Says:

    You guys rock. Thanks for Angel Heart and Berserk

  36. Samael Daemon Says:

    I just love Serpico! (in a totally hetero way of cource).. to bad hes not a playable charachter in the videogame only summoning. his voice is exaclty the way I imagined it though
    very graceful.

  37. Lone Wolf Says:

    Well there u have it folks.Nope…no sine of Guts it’s always about that damn White Hawk.Oh yeah…he’s gonna go down for good…soon or later.

  38. psi29a Says:

    @Josef:

    I’ve already explained this in the post above, if you look harder you will find what you are looking for as I’ve posted the link to direct downloads in two places.

  39. Fenrisulfr Says:

    Thanks for the releases !
    I too start thinking that Miura is really pushing. I mean, many mangakas whose boards are as esthetically beautiful as Miura’s (or even more) release their manga much faster. Take Tetsuo Hara for instance (who draws with one eye as he is progressively becoming blind) or Takehiko Inoue and Vagabond. Hopefully the next episode of Berserk will open a new chapter and return to the sail to Elfhelm. The political thing is beginning to put me to sleep -_-

  40. Fenrisulfr Says:

    Oh and I sure still hope Guts will cut Femto/Griffith into pieces with Dragonslayer, even though that means pissing all over the people of Midland :-) This is what a badass antihero is all about. One against all.

  41. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    god bless you EG. I think the japanese are trying to kill me with these releases of berserk :| I perfectly aggree that it takes long to draw because it’s so kool but I fucking ran away from home and went to an internet cafe to read c286 because my parents wouldn’t let me open my PC so how in the world am I going to survive ’till jun 22 ???????

  42. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    PS: peer guardian sux uTorrent rulz (you can also use BitComet, Flash Get, Azureus etc)

    *c285 fuck the keyboard

  44. BadrBadr Says:

    Thanks a lot for this release EG
    Please Psi29a I have a probleme with the registration I have given my e-mail Address : alarmsos@hotmail.com, and the username : BadrBadr, in the appropriate Blanks and I’ve finished the registration.

    Please I have only this valid Address, Please PSI help me cause the problem seem from your forum.
    I’m from Morocco I don’t But maybe you blocked me or something.

  45. psi29a Says:

    @BadrBadr:

    If you can post on this site and for that matter read these posts, then you are most certainly not blocked.

    I see that you have tried to get an account on april 5th, and according to my logs, the email was sent to hotmail and did not bounce.

    Are you sure it didn’t go to your spam folder? Because that is the most likely scenario considering that I didn’t get a failed email returned by hotmail.

    I deleted the account request so you can try again, but I think it prudent that you use gmail, as yahoo and hotmail accounts suck and are unreliable.

    Good luck, and I’ll keep tabs to see if email has bounced.

  46. BadrBadr Says:

    Yes Thanks Thanks Thanks so much I’ll try to register as soon as I get home.
    Mhh and about hotmail I think that you’re right, cause all the messages on the spam folder autodelete every 4 days, I think that should be the probleme

  47. Death&Rebirth Says:

    Great work guys (once again).
    I have the felling that the next chapters will be with a lot of art details (besides giving a temporary vacations to Miura). You know that people need to rest, to gain new energies to keep the good pace of their works. Can’t wait until 22 of june? Go get another good mangas like Angel Sanctuary, Eden or BotI to keep you guys entertained or start reading Berserk again from scratch. It will be worthwille anyway.

  48. Khamzul Says:

    Would just like to thank you for the work you put into this.

    Greetings from Norway/Australia

  49. Karoter Says:

    Hey Death, reading berserk from scratch is a great idea…can never get tired of it…

    Sure wish 22nd of june is next week though :p
    Kinda miss guts~

  50. aleron Says:

    yay~ more zetman =D thanks guys ^^

  51. ranc Says:

    thx for berserk, and even more thx for zetman, and i hope u wont wait till next berserk for more zetman releases(no pressure, its just hard to wait for such a great manga)

  52. Hikarub Says:

    Thanks a lot for your great work. I was kind of hoping for more than one chapter of Angel Heart, but I really can’t complain. Thanks again so much for doing the manga!! (I love the manga so much more than the anime). \(^o^)/

  53. Felix Says:

    considering the releases i do believe that miura has something big in mind. maybe something as fundamental as the eclipse
    the reason he is fucking around with the storyline so slow and those slow releases is that he needs time to get his storyline for the next big part in line.
    so, i can´t wait for the next chapters..

    btw. big thanks to EG for translating/publishing

  54. Rancid Says:

    Tnx EG, but plz, don’t wait for berserk to come out to release the other mangas (in my case Zetman)

  55. Lurker Says:

    Thanks for another great release Evil Genius. We appreciate the all the effort!

    I finally finished downloading the B.リアクション raws, chapters 9-18.

    You can find the raws at http://rapidshare.com/files/29711711/B__65294___12522___12450___12463___12471___12519___12531_.rar.html

    It is pretty decent quality and I even included the chapters I had that were higher quality.

    Thanks again Evil Genius for all the hardwork!

  56. Eldo Says:

    Yeah, we have the chapters already, a friend of mine grabbed them as soon as they emerged from the internet.

  57. bleeding_ground Says:

  59. Mr Heroux Says:

    Thank you.

    Getting odd invalid torrent when downloading, never happened before. Maybe due to “peerguardian” etc. Will find a way around ;-)
