Evil Genius

I think the blow to Griffith just left him alone, beaten, and lost. Eventually he picks himself up, and refuses to accept failure. In fact, his attempt to prove himself and his will came in quickly pursuing Charlotte imo. It was already in the works that he would seduce her, but through failure in o...

I've talked about the series downward spiral before. It's not really the tone in the book that's the problem, it's the complete lack of character and story development. I see little signs of potential greatness every once in a while, only to be let down soon afterwards. We're reading about so many ...

Now that chapter got me pumped up.

If Guts does in fact look like Batman, that's certainly not a bad thing. Batman's a bad ass as well :lol: Anyway, this was one of the most fun chapters in a while. Great stuff all around, and Guts really felt in character here. Also thought Ishidro impacting the fight was a great touch. On those act...

Well, I won't post it, but um.. youtube's basically got the whole series up there.

Awesome news. And the Animator's Survival Kit is just a work of genius. Glad to see that's doing great. Richard Williams deserves it.

It wouldn't be the same. As Griffith said, he has broken his bond to Guts, and appeared that one time to make sure. And I forget exactly what his words were, but I remember him making clear that he has no grudges, and that there's no reason why Guts couldn't be a soldier for Griffith. Not a partner,...

Ok, first off, about Guts dream and or future role in Berserk. In chapter 256 Roderick calls Guts a General. Is there a chance that Guts will become a leader? Another thing, about the curse of the marked, and their always being hunted the rest of their lives. They are journying to Elf Helm to see i...

True, that's what I meant. Brute physical strength being used against Griffith or Idea is pointless. UNLESS it can inspire hope or other redeeming qualities in human's subconcious. Say a glimmer of white light in a dark world ruled by Griffith. If someone's willing to fight in hopelessly against him...

Yeah, Griffith was definitely under some series stress when he made his decision to sacrifice the Hawks. As for Gatts, I believe he has a dream, which is to make a peaceful life for Casca and himself. Not to say he can't still fight, but to exist in a world without the God Hand, or any of the vile ...

P.S., Griffeth states, "Some people see only life and death. They are dead because they have no dreams." Is this true for Guts? Is this all Guts is driven to do? All he sees is death, he kills in his rage and forges on for revenge. Is it true that Guts has no dreams? I belive that this is...

He may become bigger without realizing it, like he did the first time by choosing his own dream over Griffith's already near-realized dream.. By defending human values, over ideal ones. He's an unbridled hero in a lot of ways. One that's unfed by people's admiration, but successful in his goals. Rig...

Yeah, I thought Griffith showed weakness in his values in a way. Why did he fall to Princess Charlotte and Midland? Lack of discipline. He needed a friend to carry him. After he gave that speech, they had the burning of the Queen, and Guts was his right hand man the whole way. He began asking him if...

My heroes! Thank you guys for your effort, doing so through quite a bit of complaining and bullshit you don't deserve at that. I'd be lost without you Much thanks indeed.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of anxiousness. Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Maybe Tomorrow! It's only a day away! I'm gonna get DRUNK while I wait. And hey, there's a chance we get 265 a short time after.

Hey Femto, how's the Skull Knight drawing coming along? :wink: It's not coming at all. Between college and a part time job that can go full time depending on the week, there's little time I can spare for stuff like that. If I'm going to be drawing something, it'll be nothing but schoolwork. For now...

Hey Femto, how's the Skull Knight drawing coming along?

I was really mad about the lack of plot developement too. Basically, the previous chapters could have been summed up in less pages which would get straight to the better stuff. The first 12 books didnt seem to have such a lag in plot developement...or is that just because I didnt have to wait as lo...

Yeah, I was confused there as well. But that was a terrific chapter. This coming from someone upset with the lack of plot development in recent chapters. I realize it's necessary but still thought they went overboard at times. With that said, this was the best chapter in a long while. Looking forwar...

I wonder how many animals Guts will kill once said and done. His last attemps of exterminating a species was alligators. Now he's hitting off the rare demonic tiger. What's next, duck?

Great chapter though quite the tease. But what's up with Miura's release schedule? Says next one is 8/12. That's another 3 weeks. Is this the new norm for him? I can understand given the quality of each page but wishful thinking was hoping for a few 2 week releases in a row.

RedEyes wrote:Except more powerful ones like SK and guts, I don't think that Zodd cares about how he kills his oppponents. He sees the weak more as a bug, rather than an opponent.

True, though Guts at times slaughtered opponents like bugs as well.

Well, he believes in a fight to the death. It's kind of similar to Guts/Casca's exchange in the forrest. Gut's humiliating her as she struggled to walk along with him. Making a point of how women are weak. He wants her to be strong but throws a little reverse psychology at her. Of course Zodd's is a...

I wouldn't call Zodd honorable. Maybe respectful. I would call him honorable, as a warrior anyway. He has a had a grudge with SKull Knight for many ages but has never backed down and never acted cowardly. He never acted out in stupidity like other apostles either. He took down the first apostle Gut...

Well, you have to think, the apostles are basically all cowards, granted power. They use the power foolishly to show their might. Power is what they lacked in life and were granted by godhands. Most never ammounted to anything as a human. So it seems so many meet their match unknowingly in Guts, who...
