Re: Berserk Stupid theories

Skull Knight mentions it as a possibility a couple of times, but I don't know that his opinion should be taken as authoritative at this point. So far, I think the facts as we know them could be interpreted either way.

Re: Berserk Stupid theories

Of course, after the Great Big Astral Splosion, magical weapons might not be as uncommon and special as they were before. For all we know, ALL weapons are magical now. We know so little of what that thing actually did, it's too big an X factor to really make any good predictions. This has probably b...

Re: Berserk 308 - Ghost Ship

Can't pretend I'm in love with the long waits between chapters, but at the end of the day Miura doesn't owe me anything and getting all bitchy about it won't make the waits any shorter.

Guys, guys. No need to make this any more complicated than it is.

What is evil?

Raping Casca is evil.

Griffith raped Casca.

Therefore Griffith is evil.

Re: Newbie Berserk Discussion Thread

The way I figure it, in America the J in my name ("Benjamin") is a hard J, but I drive south for a couple hours and all of a sudden it's pronounced the way I would pronounce an H. So I figure you can pronounce Casca's name however you like, within reason, and it's not wrong, it's just said...

Re: Evil-Genius's Berserk Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Good points. Especially the one about child porn. New topic: what's the deal with urinals in public restrooms? There's always that one off to the side that's lower than the rest. Why? For short people? Then why not make them all lower? It's not like tall people can't use the short ones: gravity tend...

Re: Evil-Genius's Berserk Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I'll say it again, piracy is not the same as stealing because it doesn't deprive the owner from [sic] his work. That was a metaphor illustrating that some actions that seem harmless, when repeated by many people, can have a large effect. The fact that the specific example I used was one that involv...

C'mon, now. This is grade-school-level morality here. They ever show you that video where the kid is walking past his neighbor's garden and picks a flower and says, "He's got so many, he'll never miss one!" and then it shows you what would happen if everyone walking past the garden did the...

Re: Evil-Genius's Berserk Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I really enjoyed "Arrested Development". I watched it every week when it came on TV, unless I missed it. Then I'd just DL the ep because the DVD's weren't out yet. Thankfully I have a DVR now, so I can just record the shows when they air, w00t. Anyway, I was a big fan of that show, and I ...

Your argument rests on the sole premise that you fully support and welcome everything you buy Why on God's green Earth would you buy something you don't want?

PS: Why cant everyone do like the creators of South Park? I don't know the details, but their sales system seems to work. Are you talking about the fact that they stream most of the episodes of their show on their web site? Lots of places DO do that. Check out Hulu, Crunchyroll, and Funimation's si...

Re: Evil-Genius's Berserk Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Even as recently as five or ten years ago I might've been more sympathetic to that point of view, Starnum, but the days of paying $5 an episode for anime are over. Single disc releases are on their way out and multi-disc box sets with per-episode pricing comparable to American television shows on DV...

Re: Berserk 307 - Falconia

i find it funny how we are all more interested in the chapter coming out next week than the one that just did Well, to be fair, this chapter was pretty, but not much really happened. Griffith has a shiny new city. Maybe it'll affect the plot later and maybe it won't, but it's not much compared to t...

Not to bring the argument back to semantics, but "flashback" is defined as, "a device in the narrative of a motion picture, novel, etc., by which an event or scene taking place before the present time in the narrative is inserted into the chronological structure of the work." The...

Re: Berserk 306 - Fantasia

Is the new chapter this week or next week? According to the blurb on the last page of the last chapter, it's September 25th, but of course it sometimes takes EG a little while beyond that to get a hold of a raw and get the translation up. I've seen places that get it up faster, but in my experience...
