Evil Genius

Ooh, important things are happening again! Here's hoping we get a better inkling of what that little kid's deal is before he vanishes again (assuming that he can only appear at the full moon).

Not my own work but it didn't seem to belong anywhere else or deserve its own thread. From the anime "Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt":

Only way Caska gets her mind back is 1.) if its directly after Guts finally gets over her and goes to bed with one of the many women who are always falling all over him and 2.) if, upon regaining her memories of what happened, she slits her own throat. Only way I can see it happening in such a way a...

That's funny. The bit of English in that right-to-left scrolling text described my feelings exactly.

Any of you with badass Japanese skill care to let us know if any of that text was dropping any deets? Man, I NEED some deets.

We won't really know any more about this anime until further information is released in Young Animal. So we'll just have to wait and see. I still can't bring myself to fully accept this as truth, but man I can't wait to see it with my own eyes. :) I hear ya, man. Hope for the best and expect the wo...

Assuming it's the same project that was leaked about a year ago, we already have some screenshots.

Also, if anybody on these boards is going to be involved in fansubbing, I'd appreciate it if they could let me know the second that high-quality raws are available. You know why.

What is this new place I've discovered, this forest of tall white branchless trees? I must have entered... THE BONE ZONE.

Yeah, to be honest I don't consider any of the Berserk bits in those two to be real standouts, although I think the Jessie's Girl and Big Daddy bits are cute. The only one in Cliplets 03 that I think really still holds up is the Creepy Doll / Big O bit. I'm working on a pure Berserk AMV right now, p...

Wow, I really have been away from these boards for a while. Since my last post in this thread, I've made two more "cliplets" compilations, both of which have a few Berserk clips in them: Cliplets 03: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-qAhk_ZPqc Cliplets 04: The Returnening http://www.youtube...

1. every long and epic story needs a bit of color [i'm not going to use the word filler because it's got a bad rap because of naruto, and because color is what they call the filler commentator in baseball ;)] otherwise we wouldn't care about the truly epic stuff, and the epic stuff would get boring...

So, Herald tracked me down at Anime Evolution to give me grief about not coming around here in a long time, so, here I am again. (-: I dunno, I think I've kind of reached a point in Berserk where I feel like I need to reserve judgment until I have more perspective on this part of the manga. It might...

If the Dragon Slayer were made of a steel plate 1"x12"x72" it would weigh about 250lbs. If it were iron (which I think it is, but I'm not sure) it would weigh about 225. The first time it shows up, it's described as "like a slab of raw iron." Of course, the speaker in that ...

They knew they weren't going to make it past the Eclipse, so the inconsistency wouldn't matter, and it was a cheap, easy way to foreshadow some of what was coming. Simple as that.

Thanks, guys. I'm suffering through a bit of a cold at the moment so that cheered me up.

Yes. I've got it right here, in fact. You want it? Then you'll have to sing "I'm a little piggy, here's my snout, oink oink oink, oink oink oink."

I like character battle discussions. They're completely silly and pointless, of course, but as long as everyone knows not to take them seriously, they can be a lot of fun. I agree, though, when you throw Guts into the mix it gets pretty boring, because against another melee fighter he's always going...

Y'know what the best part of this chapter was? The release date for the next one. 'Cause otherwise it was just http://www.justmanga.com/jmcover/berserkgutplush.jpg vs. http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs21/f/2007/300/1/e/Final_Fantasy_VII___Marlboro_by_tomo_chi.jpg WHO WILL WINS? Guts shore do slice up th...

There are other manga out there. Do what I do and go read some of those while you wait.

I ran into a Guts at Saboten Con this weekend. Not the best one I've ever seen, but the first one I've ever run into in real life, and I doubt I could do better. That's me as freaky-deaky black straitjacket Alucard next to him. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a353/hbi2k/Saboten%202009/DSC01442.jpg

Well, considering Vol. 33 is coming out in January, it probably won't be THAT far off.

God, the American release is almost caught up, how depressing.

There's something very Zen about that sentence.

I think framing it in terms of redemption versus revenge almost misses the point. Guts is constantly struggling to reconcile himself with the world in which he lives. How can he continue to live in a world where such horrific, absurd things happen? Can he bring himself to care about people when thos...

Unless it was god's plan to create a being strong enough to overpower him...or at least be considered and equal, in which case, his plan triumphs :p Maybe the Idea of Evil is suicidal and is trying to get Griffith and Guts to be really powerful so that they can team up and kill him. Hey, if it was ...

My personal thoughts, is that we are being left out of one side of the picture. All we can see is the Idea of Evil at work. But... the Skull Knight is clearly working against this idea. Or at least, he THINKS he is. Remember, Skully's attack was what allowed Griffith to trigger the Big Metaphysical...

Unless, of course, the God Hand (or possibly just Griffith, or possibly just the Idea) are playing an even deeper game. Skull Knight's basis for believing that Guts was "fated" to die in the above scan is that he was Branded, and Branded people are always immediately killed and eaten by de...
