There's a new teaser trailer out, and with it, a new thread.

http://berserk-anime.com/ http://i.imgur.com/4C5GIWo.jpg There's a new teaser trailer out today, showcasing what seems to be updated shaders, really colorful character designs, and a new logo. Kentaro Miura is listed as something like "supervisory director", and this is the first time he's...

I love Morrowind and just installed SteamOS on an old frankencomputer, so this is extremely my shit right now. You're good people, psi.

nnnnnnnoice

I kinda wish they'd drop the limited-animation pretense for the action scenes and just go full 30 frames per second when it's all CG anyway. CG is great for interpolating between keyframes at virtually no cost, so play to that strength. The 2D art looks really good, as pointed out above, but the 3D ...

© 三浦建太郎(スタジオ我画)・白泉社／「ベルセルク製作委員会」 Google translate says: © Kentaro Miura (studio Ware-ga) Hakusensha / "Berserk Production Committee" So, who's studio Ware-ga? Hakusensha publishes Berserk. Most anime shows are produced by a "Production Committee" which is basically a loose cabal...

This isn't the first time Berserk has been labeled as "irregular" in Young Animal. Most recently a notice was printed on the final page of chapter 336, I assume it's a label they slap on everything that they do not have/expect a set-in-stone release schedule for. Berserk was not labeled as...

These jokers I tell ya

Big props to DrPepperPro for once again working his magic on the shitty raw we got. Also a shoutout to TL checker Hampera Junichi, who saved the gold vein/vine pun from being lost forever, among other things. It was really nice to feel everything really come together this chapter, because it is an i...

What I and many others like about PW is the promise inherent in Peace Walker's PSP-stunted mechanics. A promise that has now been fulfilled with MGSV. I've been in internet blackout the last few days as I've been playing the game, but have now finally beaten it. I think. One loose plot thread that m...

It's going to be the last Metal Gear anyone cares about since Kojima will be ousted in December.

Here's to hoping Konami will sell or at least generously license all their good gaming IPs once they go full retard f2p and pachislot-focused, but realistically that's not gonna happen.

Right. If I'm reading Young Animal's next-issue blurb right, we'll be getting 5 chapters this coming issue; 4 old ones reprinted in a separate booklet, and 1 new one in the magazine proper.

The four chapters are a compilation of 334-337, so not really of any interest to us.

July 24th ya big palookas. That issue of Young Animal comes with a 100-page mini-volume collecting the last 4 chapters.

Berserk will resume serialization bi-issuely (that's not a word), effectively making it monthly.

You can definitely jump straight into MGSV: Ground Zeroes as a lead-in to MGSV: The Phantom Pain. Some nuance will be lost and the ~lore ramifications~ of the events in the game will be lost on you but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it tremendously. GZ even has a helpful and brief (by Metal Gear ...

Everything about MGS2 owned. EDIT: You should get on that Peace Walker train ASAP my man. It suffers a bit from being a PSP game (partially due to the new target demographic that came with that), but it's an extremely bold evolution of the traditional MGS mechanics. By all accounts The Phantom Pain ...

Everything about MGS2 owned.

No Berserk until 2015 is about all we know.

I tried, but it looked like shit. I'm glad DPP eventually came to the rescue.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Buz buddy.

The game is a very deliberate fanservice fest, and I don't begrudge it that, but what I take issue with is that it is kind of... reductionist? Almost spiteful in its delivery. Also there's the gameplay. I mean, recycled boss concepts, but now with sexy babes? This is what's supposed to appeal to me,...

The gameplay runs out of steam two-thirds into act 2 and is overloaded with meaningless systems that interact only in the most edge-case scanarios, and I can get into that if you want, but for now let's start with plot and tone. MGS4 is tonally inconsistent at best, and tonally abhorrent at worst. I...

I wouldn't worry too much. Solid Snake's storyline includes MGS4, which automatically makes it worse than the tale of Big Boss' rise to power. :ssh: Many count Peace Walker as their favorite MGS, and I can see why. It is extremely video game-y, but in a different way from the numbered entries in the...

Fantastic work as always EG. How much work into the chapter, i am wondering. Because, all the chapter you have do not show redraws, which is actually fairly typical in scans. Great job, cant wait for the next chapter. DrPepperPro is an actual wizard. I think that's how he does it. He also functions...

I love it. I love every MGS but 4 (it sucks, MGS4 sucks) and The Phantom Pain is shaping up to be amazing. I was a sucker for the base-building stuff in Peace Walker, so having that combined with the systems we got a taste of in Ground Zeroes can't be anything short of a religious experience. And Ki...

That's a post from 2007. The battle with tree-Ganishka didn't happen until 2008.
