The Berserk link doesn’t seem to work. The other two do, though.
Why must you tease us so?
December 13th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Oops. Don’t know how I managed that, but fixed I hope.
December 13th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
thank you to all at eg!
December 13th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Working now, thanks!
December 13th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
can someone upload it to rapidshare or megaupload, i can’t download torrents from where i’m at. thanks.
December 13th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Ah, last Berserk for while, we best enjoy it. I say we flood Miura’s mail box with fan mail begging him not to go on hiatus. Or we steal his xbox…
December 14th, 2008 at 12:12 am
@Big L:
Sure. I’ll upload it to my website as soon as I have the torrent finished.
December 14th, 2008 at 12:39 am
Missed bubble in page 9
December 14th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Just read it! Quality is top notch as usual, thanks a lot EG, you guys rock! But….man I’ll despise Miura if he takes a 4 months break again….NOT IN SUCH A CLIMAX FOR GOD’S SAKE!!! >.< not fair…T_T”
December 14th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Thanks so much.
December 14th, 2008 at 2:01 am

Keep up the good work
December 14th, 2008 at 2:52 am
Once again EG you never cease to amaze… Though i am weary of the message at the end
A Break next issue…
Please lets just hope a x-mas break
and not a 5 month no Berserk, i don’t think i can handle it hehe
December 14th, 2008 at 3:16 am
that was a great chapter
December 14th, 2008 at 5:09 am
Thanks for Berserk and Zetman.
Does anyone have a download link or a web link were I can download Zetman volume 9 and 10 raw?
December 14th, 2008 at 5:21 am
Good job, as aways
December 14th, 2008 at 5:32 am
You wake up and you find new Berserk and Zetman ready for download. Nice.
December 14th, 2008 at 7:02 am
Surely an epic chapter. It is not only the humans but also the apostles acting different. That is very amazing! To bad though… I have a feeling that eventually all of them will die cause Griffith wants so…
Zetman was nice to. A lot of comedy this time
December 14th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Comedy? Where? Was it the giant man-eating shrimps, or the thousand roaches crawling over the nearly raeped girl?
Both, right? I thought so to
December 14th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Berserk is here WOOHOO!!!
December 14th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Yeah, Zetman is pretty funny like that.
December 14th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Unbelievable, Berserk again! Thanks a lot!
December 14th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Wow, new Berserk epicness! What an amazing chapter!
What was even more amazing was the quality of the
release, surpassing even your own high standards.
Evil Genius sure are great
So, thank you for the release, your hard work is
much appreciated!
December 14th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Yay! Thanks
December 14th, 2008 at 10:00 am
you are awesome thank you
December 14th, 2008 at 10:00 am
I love you guys. Thanks for the scans, don’t know what I’d do without you~
December 14th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Awesome
thank you very much for this!
December 14th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
The torrent for Berserk doesn’t seem to work… Please help
Regardless, Thanks EG for the great job!
December 14th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Zetman is getting good…
THANKS!!!!
December 14th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
thanks a lot can’t wait for the next chapter!! hope it comes out soon keep it up!!
December 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Thanks for the Berserk guys! Appreciating it!
December 14th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
I’m very confused, I don’t know who is evil and who is good anymore. Gatts battle against the godhand/griffith/apostles, but now the apostles/godhand? is fighting againts this “Creature”.
Which way can the story go? Will gatts in the end be facing the whole earth as his enemy? will he rise to be come more than just a mere human?(not that he isn’t doing this already) What will happen?
If anyone happens to read my post and has a idea on what will happen, please definitely say something!
December 14th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Thanks for Berserk.
December 14th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
TY for serk. Nice sunday night surprise. Where are all the good gods? Everything is so demon.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
core: i think everyone is working together because of the behelit monster’s wish when he reincarnated griffith. its also possible imo that one of the powers griffith has in his new body is extreme persuasion as that is probably the most important trait for a great ruler/leader to have. since he lost his humanity when he became femto, i think it is something he really needs to progress his dream since he probably can’t relate deeply to normal humans anymore. its extremely obvious especially when you see how zodd and ganishka acted in his presence.
i can’t imagine guts giving up his humanity b/c it is pretty much everything he stands for.
i can picture griffith take the idea of evil’s speech to heart too and him going against the godhand eventually. i think guts might secretly fit into the idea of evil’s master plan too to go against the god hand and him and griffith winding up on the same side by the end of the series.
December 14th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Thanks for the ZetMan.
December 15th, 2008 at 1:18 am
Cool!!! Thanks for another Angel Heart release!! I can’t seem to get enough of this ever since City Hunter!!!
Now Playing Ne-Yo – Closer (Stonebridge Club Remix). Dedicated to you, my scanlating friends!!! Playing around the world for 10 years now!!
December 15th, 2008 at 4:04 am
Griffith’s goal is only to rule all over the world. Now he’s trying to kill his competitor. Then, I hope he sacrifices the hawks again. And then super-Gutts will kick his ass!!
December 15th, 2008 at 5:02 am
Thank you, for Berserk and Zetman too!!!!
:D:D
Damn Mirura taking a break again!!!
December 15th, 2008 at 5:05 am
I’ve had the Angel Heart anime for quite sometime and finally got around to watching it. So I also picked up the manga recently… its great. I enjoyed City Hunter, but I really like this series much more. I hope you continue to release it so I can read the post-anime chapters. Thanks!
December 15th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
@Big L
Thanks for the reply! Although I doubt gutts joining on the same side as griffith.. I mean he rapped his girlfriend…
Anyways, again, thanks for the reply and I guess we will eventually find out in a few 20 years.. >_>;
December 15th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
i want to see guts not the lame hawks … anyway fuck this waitin
December 15th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I think the main reason every human works with griffith is the same reason ganishka reincarnated himself in a monster that is bound to be defeated: Everyone and everything in berserk is in the flow of destiny, human and apostles, and they have no other choices in the end than follow it. Guts and the magician excepted, since the skelet knigth say that they exist slightly outside it.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
need more biomega
December 15th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
a break huh?!
well i guess he deserves it, but…but… T.T
good thing i can still expect lots n lots of zetman and angel heart from you guys, so thx in advance =D
and i dont care if the story takes another 20years as long as it finishes bevor the day i die!!
December 15th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
thanks for berserk and zetman, excelent as always!!
every time i read berserk will take a break i die a little T_T
but, life is funny enought to wait right? …. right O.o?
December 16th, 2008 at 7:15 am
why you’re tortuing me?
where are ne chapters of BIOMEGA?!?!?

December 17th, 2008 at 5:12 am
Was wondering if you guys will still be releasing Zetman on a regular schedule despite the lack of Berserk. I know a lot has been happening in the Manga, and things have really took a turn for the better regarding the story. For awhile it seemed Zetman releases really were making up ground in regards to the releases in Japan, with many releases offering multiple chapters.
Unlike Berserk, the material for Zetman for the next several volumes has been avaiable to work with for awhile. Can we be expecting a steady release schedule, independent of Berserk releases or will updates remain dependent on Berserk.
December 17th, 2008 at 5:55 am
Man why is Berserk so amazing. Really it’s just to much for words sometimes. It’s going to be such a lovely shade of gray with Gutts coming back to battle the apostles and perhaps humans loyal to Griffith. It was stated way back that the apostles were also strange creatures who’s motivations were unknown etc.
I really do think the last true evil is Femto/Griff and by the time Gutts get’s to him the world will see him as the savoir and bringer of peace. If Griff doesn’t go all crazy and kill everyone in the end they may well have a point. What are you willing to sacrifice for ultimate peace?
That’s of course a big if.
God I love Berserk.
December 17th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Thanks alot.
December 18th, 2008 at 12:29 am
Ok I’m kind of dense, but don’t tell me that stupid chicken thing in the middle of the manga was Grif in his uber form? It was shocking enough to see Archer guy or whatever his name growing out of a dog’s ass.
December 18th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Is my comment visible?
December 18th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
If it says “awaiting for moderation”, no.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
something strange has happened… i liked the zetman chapter much more than the berserk release. how is jin going to get out of this one? getting kicked around by that third generation player, all the homeless are getting killed off, his girlfriend is getting raped and there’s nothing he can do about it, kouga can’t help him, and the sweeper seems pretty dead, things are seeming thoroughly hopeless for him. can’t wait until the next chapter. as for berserk, i don’t really care anymore. another wait? miura is a bitch.
December 18th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
goddamnit, cause I made a long ass post two chapters ago and it said that.
December 18th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
oops I’m stupid I guess it just took a little bit of time for it to be ‘moderated’.
Oh I’m not reading berserk until this guy dies, he wants to make one of the most long lasting mangas and we barely get releases. It’s like having an hour commercial every two minutes for a movie. It’s best to just wait till it’s done. Until myira (however you spell it) is done… or dead.
December 19th, 2008 at 7:13 am
dam was this the last chapter of this volume of Berserk?. why ,is such a great manga only made from 6 to 6 months??? why???
Although Zetman is getting good.
December 19th, 2008 at 7:17 am
i still wonder what will happen after grifith defeats the big ugly alien(or whatever that is). humans and apostles dont tend to get along well.
December 19th, 2008 at 9:00 am
To Blackm, though it would have been funny, the chickenish apostle clearly wasn’t Griffith.
December 19th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Thank you very much
btw – looks like we will have to find a way to keep Miura alive as long, as necessary – anyone any ideas ;P ? i am not sure humans live as long, as he will need to finish the story…
December 20th, 2008 at 4:13 am
DamnedBones: It’s not like i do not know that.
It’s just my regular Whining.
Tha main purpose of which – to show that there are still people interested in that project.
December 21st, 2008 at 5:26 am
Thanks Evil Genius!
Haven’t checked the site in a while, but i was overjoyed when i saw 3 new berserk chapters! Keep up the amazing work guys!
December 21st, 2008 at 9:15 am
Holy shit you guys RAWK !!!
lol)
Epic berserk issue, i love you *MWAH MWAH MWAH*
(and i’ll say it this way even if it means my comments will be publicly mocked at
December 21st, 2008 at 7:53 pm
This time i really gonna wait until whole next volume is done.
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:12 am
i want to check out zetman but i dont see chapters 1-5 for download does anyone know where i can get them?

December 23rd, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Merry Christmas and happy New Year for:
Evil Genius team and all fans
BTW, thanks for next releases xD
December 24th, 2008 at 4:09 am
Tnx EG for the releases.
But man, this Berserk is taking too long, get to the f..ing Elfhelm already,last 4 chapters are the same
December 25th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Thanks EG, for the best scanlations as always. Is Miura taking a break now or after the next chapter?
I still hope you will release Zetman and Biomega in Berserk’s absence, they are both great series!
December 25th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Now. Next chapter’s release date wasn’t announced on this one, as the few previous one’s had been.
December 26th, 2008 at 10:20 am
gents gents…. and dames….
I thought about berserk a lot…Really loving it…
I had the idea that maybe gutts may use a behelit to destroy or get revenge on gripphith/femto, which could be very ironic, since he’d probably sacrifice his party(like gripphit before him) to satisfy that dark beast in him…
Big maybe here, of course!
By the way, great great job on those scanslations, guys…
thank you for all!
December 26th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Another long wait eh? :-/ Glad some other mangas, like Gantz or Blade om the immortal have more steady release patterns.
Anyone know which chapters Biomega and Zetman raws have gotten to? Thanks…
December 26th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I don’t. But think of it this way:
Even if you do know how far the RAWs are, unless you know how to read Jap, that won’t help you at all.
Also, whether you know when the next chapters are going to be released or not, you will still have to wait the same amount of time.
So it’s not really necesary (since it won’t help you in any way) unless you know how to read Jap.
December 27th, 2008 at 4:26 am
>>ultra lucky cat
Biomega – chapter 41 raw
Zetman is around chapters 130+
December 27th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Hi everyone, I hope you guys had a very Merry Christmas.
Now, just a status update, we are planning something special for New Years. Unfortunately, Christmas releases were planned but we all got quite busy with our own Christmas celebrations that we forgot to give you guys presents! But not to worry, you’ll get a little celebratory New Years gift from us (or belated Christmas gift). Now, I’m sure you guys want some status updates…
With Zetman, we have a couple of chapters lined up. If you’re wondering about the progress, the editor usually catches up with the translation quite quickly. miyagiCE is godly fast like that. uncempt does top notch work, and is a machine. If you’re wondering why we’re ‘behind’ as compared to latest released raws, as with every other answer, it’s because we have real life commitments. We simply can’t sit down and translate/edit a chapter when we want to. We do it out of our spare time.
Now, Biomega. If you know Japanese you would know how difficult it is to translate the manga. No, it’s not because our Japanese isn’t up to scratch (OK, it might be, who knows, right?) but Nihei likes to make up crazy sci-fi words that sound cool in Japanese but makes no sense in English. Remember that ‘reverse polymer’ thing we had a couple of chapters ago? That was actually quite hard to translate into English because like all sci-fi terms, they are made up. But we are translating it from the original source, so we try to stick very closely to the context of it. It’s usually those terms that we are stick on and takes us days to figure out and decipher them. It really makes no sense in Japanese, and makes even less sense in English. You know there’s a problem when there are Japanese threads dedicated to deciphering what Nihei meant when he wrote ‘sci-fi term X’. He likes to make up words with no major consequence, and it’s bad for us to try to come up with a translation without sacrificing the actual meaning.
Berserk, no release date. I can’t do anything about that. Some of you are probably pissed, but yeah, can’t do anything about that. If you’re so pissed off that you quit reading it, then goodbye. If not, get in line with the rest of us patiently waiting for it. I’m sure you have other things to occupy your time. I do.
What have I missed…? Other projects are still on their way, I guess. I can’t be bothered typing after the wall of text above.
Also, a final shout out to Gideon Zhi of Aeon Genesis for releasing a beta patch of Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden. I’m a fan of that series, and I totally love the game so far. I just want to thank you very much for your work and I love you very much for it. If you guys love giant robots, do yourself a favour and grab a copy of SRW Alpha Gaiden and try out that patch. You won’t be disappointed.
December 27th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Thanks for Berserk!
December 28th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Good speech
December 28th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Don’t misunderstand me Eldo, you guys are doing a great job and after looking at some forums regarding translations of mangas i started to realize how much work is needed to bring us each chapter. If you ever need a norwegian translator be sure to give me a call. ;-p
Anyhow, regarding games: has anyone played the PS2 Berserk game and is it any good? Looks pretty decent in the youtube vids I’ve seen so far…
December 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Miruru is such a procrastinator… or he’s really greedy lol
December 28th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Berserk looks amazing on the ps2. unfortunately i haven’t played it…. yet, but i don’t immagine it could possibly be dissapointing. the duals look sweet. i do know that you can get Sword of the Berserk (i think it’s also for PS2) in english. and they even increased the blood flow a good amount just for the english version. but it doesn’t look that great. except caska comes back for about ten seconds at the end.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
I suppose i will quite reading berserk for two years. After that I will be healed from it or else i will have tons of berserk to read
Hope you join me 
December 31st, 2008 at 10:30 am
Berserk on PS2 is awesome! I own it, bought it on ebay! ^^ It has the coolest fighting gameplay ever, you can almost feel how heavy that sword is.. ^^;
Sword of the Berserk is for the Dreamcast, and I have never tried it..
December 31st, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Happy New Year to all !!!
January 1st, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Happy New Year!!
Ultra Lucky Cat! First of all a correction for Harold… I don’t know if The Sword of the Berserk was also made for PS2, but originally it was meant for Dreamcast! Now, for ベルセルク 千年帝国の鷹篇 聖魔戦記の章, Berserk, Millenium Falcon Arc, Chapter of The Holy Demon War!!
It’s neat, the game I would most try to compare it is Devil May Cry 3 as I have both and in term of Game play they are similar!
For one, Game play is better than in DMC3 and, obviously, the story as it is taken directly from the manga, with little changes; none to the whole story, just some add ons!
Graphic is a worse, but, especially in the prepared sequences, rightly depicts Miura’s style of drawing and the fact that it is taken from the manga! As for the story, it takes place after the battle with Zodd on the hill of swords, with some flashbacks (and so, fights, it actually lets you do the fighting) about it, and it ends after they escape the New Band of Hawks’ demon troops at Shilke’s!
Sincerely, I really liked it and still do. The music is excelent, it is easy to understand how to do things without knowing Japanese (at least I think so, you already know the story, I hope) and Gatsu’s movements are really cool. It is animated well, taking in account the weight of the sword! It makes it seem reallistic (as much as it can be, of course). The voices are incredibly good, just what you’d thing they sound like! I personally really like Pakku! (Pak, Puck) He is so cool… and does change into his Kuri (chestnut) version!
I hope I was useful to you and anyone interested in the game!
Phireo
January 1st, 2009 at 6:03 pm
The only Berserk game i’ve played was Sword of the Berserk for the Dreamcast and it wasn’t a bad game either, but it’s too short.
However, the story didn’t followed the manga’s plot(so it’s like a big filler), probably because Berserk wasn’t very popular back then and so, they tried to reach a wider audience…
(To be honest, when i bought the game i didn’t knew it was based on a manga).
Techinally(graphics) the game was amazing specially for its time.
January 2nd, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Happy new year my dear friends best wishes to all,
)
does anybody know when the new chapter of berserk will come out?
I am reading from the beginning all the volumes for third time ,it’s a truelly a masterpiece best of the best but with this pace it wll take more than 30 years to be finished (the best scenario lol) I start berserk less than 12 months ago ,do anyone have to recommend me another good manga like berserk?(I know there is no manga as berserk but if I don’t read anything else I ll kill myself from the depress lol,,,I also read one piece
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:06 am
Thanks guys, this game seems very promising. I only have a PS3 without backwards compatibility at the moment, so i hope they put it on the PSN store sometime in the future.
January 4th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
-a lot of (late) thanks to EG for Berserk (downloaded it instantly)
-yeah The Sword of the Berserk has been released for ps2, I liked it.
-well… I sure hope Miura has some humanity left inside his evil soul and releases 302 within the next 20-30 days….
-A Happy New Year to everyone around!
January 4th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
dudes, you are the best! zetman is really one of the best manga i have ever read. can you tell me when you are releasing the next episode? because i am looking like a crazy man your side everyday.
January 5th, 2009 at 2:04 am
to Ripper21: i found the third time reading berserk to be the best, but when i started reading it for the fourth time it made me really depressed because realized that i had no life. as for other manga:
Zetman is a good contender to go against berserk in my opinion. it’s a sci-fi in case you didn’t know, and the main character portraits a true hero. always my first recomendation.
claymore seems to be quite popular if you can get past the first few chapters. i myself am not a big fan…
AIKI is a pretty fun read, especially if you like martial arts. it’s about a lazy master who seems to just want to have sex, but gets himself into a bit of a battle between some powerful martial artists. just a warning, it has a bit of excessive nudity in case you’re not a big fan of that.
Anuki is pretty cool, it’s about a kid abandoned and becomes an ace fighter pilot. but it’s drawn and story-boarded kind of strangely so it’s a little hard to follow at times.
Basalisk has the most amazingly drawn characters i’ve ever seen. this one’s about a battle between ninja, and it has several tragic love stories in it. i’m not going to lie, i cried at the end of this one. but it’s still pretty cool.
Fairy Tail is my favourite shounen style manga. it’s about a guild of mages that always go on overthetop epic missions. and of course screw them up.
Vegabond is the story of Myamoto Musashi. a good samurai story where the main character kills many a people.
Sekirei: the main character is the luckiest bastard in the world. read it and you’ll see why.
January 5th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
First of all i want to apologies fro my english .
Ok my dear harold I will start Zetman as you recommend I trust you.
about the other now.claymore I have heard it and maybe I ll read it soon, I will read AIKI too(where can I find it
just kidding I will find it myself),
Anuki will be in my waiting list for a while lol .
I have seen the Basilisk anime and I have read the manga also I have buy the first volume (the fun and very annoying thing it that one is the background draws and the environment ,they are like pictures from the real world and the only hand made are the characters apart from that the story is really great
Fairy tail I think it’s copy of one piece I haven’t read it and I am not planning to do it soon thanks for the advice though
I ll check vegabond and then I ll tell you my impression about it
Sekirei; I have download it and I have read the first 2-3 chapters but I didn’t find it that good ,the story is little silly but it is generally good..
I recommend you ONE PIECE
)
vampire knight(pretty good story with vampires of course !
one more question is GATZ good manga?should I start it or I ll be disappointed ?
January 6th, 2009 at 12:59 am
i didn’t know basalisk was an anime. i’ll have to check that out. and i tried reading one piece, i got about 150 chapters into it, but i found it a little redundant. although it is quite like fairy tail, but i’m pretty sure that all shounen manga follow the same formula. main character: “i’ll protect everyone!” “friends are the real treasure”
January 6th, 2009 at 1:11 am
@Harold:
lol yea, and also all american movies end with the hero and the girl kissing…they all have beginning, middle & end.
From the looks of it, Shounen doesn’t really seem like your fav. type of literature
PS: Don’t watch the anime, Manga kicks it’s ass by far !
January 6th, 2009 at 1:33 am
lol, I had forgotten I had already read this chapter. I understand that this is a lot for Miura to do all by himself, wish he would get some more help. I think he shouldn’t have done these epic battles, like hes doing now, too much detail, little importance to the story, really. We want more of Guts already, yeah?
January 6th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Basalisk was manga and they make the anime after!i It’s pretty good too
)))
))
And one piece it’s not like the other manga !it’s the best shounen manga. with story,art, plot etc good for adults too, not only for kids as bleach and naruto (the other 2 most popular manga).the maker of one piece has exceptional
talent Harold
January 8th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
thanks for sharing your knowledge people i think ill start reading Basilisk meanwhile
January 8th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
@Ripper21:
I assume you meant GANTZ?
If so, then I’ll reply, since I’m up the the latest chapter (289).
It has a great plot, and it’s different from most shounen mangas. Most characters die, so don’t get too emotionally attached to them when reading.
One of the things some people don’t like about GANTZ is that the main character (Kurono), instead of being the usual “hero of justice”, is a rather normal guy, and often reacts the way a “normal” person would react when he’s thrown into the world of GANTZ (though later in the story he matures a bit and resembles a “hero” a bit more)
Instead, the “hero” personality is given to his best friend, who some people, being used to that kind of personality on other shounen’s main characters, believe he should be the main character, instead of Kurono.
I consider this to be a good thing, as IT, combined with the story’s rather dark theme (where people CAN and WILL die) makes up for a very good manga.
I hope you’ll read it, as it’s well worth it.

@Harold:
While I read and enjoy mangas such as Berserk and Gantz, I also read One Piece. If you could read 150 chapters I’m sure you don’t hate it.
I also lost some interest on One Piece at some parts of the story, but that’s normal. There are Story Arcs much more interesting than others, in every manga, not just One Piece.
Around where you stopped (the “Snow Island” part, where Chopper shows up) I also didn’t like the story very much, but I kept reading, and honestly, there is much more to One Piece than just that.
After that Arc comes a much better one, and after that an even better one, one of my two favourite ones in the whole manga.
Also, you could watch the anime, since it’s well done, not just some crappy money eater, a good show. I watched the anime before I read the manga, so maybe that’s why I like it.
Seriously, I’d say keep reading, it’ll get better.
And as for Basilisk, the anime was very well done, though it’s not something as “happy” as One Piece, by far. The story is all about death, so I’d advise not to get too attached to the characters. Though, if you’ve read the manga, than you’d know what I’m talking about.
