Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?

Perhaps I should qualify the attention span comment. He's not ADD (well, maybe just a little :D ). It's just that unless something immediately caught his attention as awesome he doesn't really give the time to look deeper into it. If I can just convince him that it's worth reading he'll be hooked, b...

Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?

*Update* He read the first ten pages of the first chapter and said it was O.K. I had forgotten about his incredibly short attention span. He said he's willing to read more of it but I don't think it's a priority for him. I know he would like the story in its entirety and he'd love certain parts of i...

Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?

So the best way to get someone into berserk is to have them watch the anime first? I don't want to try threatening or poisoning my friend because he might take me seriously..and get back at me. He carries at least three knives on him at all times and I know he owns a handgun.

Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?

what i was getting at with the whole flashback thing, however unclear i was, was that berserk barely every 'clips' something that has already happened that we as the reader have already seen before. many other mangas do this, gundam seed and naruto most readily come to mind. when berserk does it it...

Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?

I get what you're saying, but my personal definition of flashback is "going back to a previous point in the chronological sequence of a story," and going by that I still think it's a flashback. A masterfully executed flashback that only served to enhance the story, but a flashback nonethel...

Re: New to the Berserk Forum? Have questions? Post Here First!

Hey all. Been lurking for....oh, coming up on two years now I think. Never got into these forums much before (with the notable exception of Berserk Abridged :D ) but I was bored tonight so I started going through one of the threads. This is the first forum I've been to in which the posts are, for th...

Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?

I hate one piece and naruto and bleach. YES! Finally, those are so dumb! I hate when people say that Naruto is supposed to be the new DBZ, because it just ain't. It has all of the fighting and randomness that you could want from DBZ, but there are way too many main characters and not enough relatio...

Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?

That's why the Black Lagoon DVDs had the best play all mechanism ever. If you chose play all from the menu, it would play the opening for the first episode on the disk, skip the ending, skip the opening and ending for all in-between episodes, and then show the ending for the last episode on the dis...
