Evil Genius

This forum is so dead it's not even funny. Still, for archival reasons: I was looking at a gallery of surrealist art by Max Ernst and came across this: https://artblart.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/the-entire-city-web.jpg?w=655&h=480 It's titled "The Entire City" and was painted on 1935...

Someone did a piece on what's wrong with the new anime, in terms of cinematography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6kVU8uNdic Honestly, the horrible fake-anime 3d cutscenes in Valkyria Chronicles looked better than this turd. At least you could follow what was happening in those. I just watched ep...

Well, lather up my neck and sharpen that blade, gentlemen, because I come bearing incontrovertible, blasphemous facts: The new anime looks like hot street garbage. The old one was occasionally campy and silly, but at least it looked nice (when it was animated, that is. Lots of moving shots over stil...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who can't get "Here we go again" out of his head after reading this chapter. So many White Snake s.

Great Work, EG!

Great work as usual, EG! I, for one, am completely ecstatic to see the return of good ol' Putting Out Flames with Bodily Fluids (tm). Haven't seen that since the Lost Children arc. Also, was I the only one who chuckled a bit at the title of this chapter? It sounds like the name of an establishment t...

Primo avatar material, right there.

Thanks EG!

Jack Nicholson circa 1974, only japanese. He'll find Miura floating face down in a pool of liquified IdolMaster copies, and reveal a dark and sinister conspiracy headed by an old, rich rapist who wants to build a dam. strangely specific =O Eh, If each chapter came out Bi-monthly, I would be happy. ...

Hey. So since Berserk is a thing again, I've been thinking of getting into anime once more. Been watching some stuff sporadically, but I haven't really liked anything in ages. Last thing I watched that wasn't offensively bad was Psycho-Pass. So. Anything new you guys would recommend? P.S. Not anime,...

Damn, Rolos! You were gone for so long, a Berserk chapter was released. Thanks for the chapter, EG. May be if the lazy hack who writes this drivel had some measure of professionalism I'd be here more often. Hey Miura, it's a publish or perish world out there, buddy. Either finish the story or annou...

Beautiful work, EG.

(Not really symbolism, more of an idle thought.) I caught myself thinking about Berserk the other day, in relation to that spiciest of subjects, sex. One of the things that I liked the most about Berserk was how it treated sex as this foreign, strange thing, alternatively titillating and repulsive, ...

I usually eat a bagel with cream cheese, then imbibe enough coffee to sterilize a horse. Speaking of nutrition, Pubmed churned this out when I searched "breakfast". http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2788187/ That's a study relating the degree of acculturation ("american-ness...

Right. That's it. I've been putting this off for far too long. EG, I really appreciate the quality of the service you guys provide, and I'd like to thank you for all your years of providing me (and many other entitled shits) with good conversation and top-notch scanlations. But I'm tired of caring a...

Thank you, good sir, may I have another?
Good sir?
Sir?

Whelp, back to crack cocain.

I try to pop up now and then to appease the ancient vudu curse that will make my head explode if I write anything coherent.

subtle(def): adj. a. So slight as to be difficult to detect or describe; elusive. b. Difficult to understand; abstruse

Actually, I think that's the ideal scenario. Think about it. What follows relentless hedonism and the pointless pursuit of pleasure, if any self-obsessed rock star autobiography is to be believed? Abysmal depression, and a jaded and cynical outlook on life. I'm certain that a Miura that is dead insi...

I'm not nearly as excited about this manga as I used to be.

I return from the dead exclusively to pour my derision upon this renewed bout of optimism among Berserk's readership! The chapters are probably just a marketing gimmick to make the movies seem more current. That, or a hideous retcon. On a slightly less critical note, the rat-eating bit was beautiful...

Yep, I'm picking up this project again. Last time it came to a halt when I had to write the questions, because I honestly didn't feel like reading Berserk again (which I thought was kind of necessary to come up with decent questions), but now I feel like it, for some strange reason. May be the plane...

Firstly, this: The Beatles' one and only incursion into space rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yTY__PKLDQ And also, this (it seems my quest to find decent south american rock is finally paying off): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E4R77eaGJ8 I may translate the lyrics in the future, if I feel l...

Well, it seems telekinesis is an ability every god worth his salt has in berserk. [spoiler] http://i26.mangareader.net/berserk/3/berserk-1555905.jpg http://i23.mangareader.net/berserk/3/berserk-1555906.jpg [/spoiler] I demand character blood. Isma is not much of a character, but I'm sure she'll do. ...

Your youthful idealism and endless optimism warm my heart, greak.
Keep up the fine journalistic job for those of us who are too lazy to find out this stuff on our own.
I wonder, when will it be canceled, after or before the third movie?

Good to see this thread back to life. Uhm, let's see, what have I read since I last posted here? Well, there's the entire Song of fire and Ice series, which I thought was entertaining but nothing more, and "Pensees", by Blaise Pascal, which was insightful but dated. It kind of reminds me o...
