lon3vvolf wrote:*shudders* Hey just a question here... are you from the South (no offense to anyone from the south)

The reason I ask... Aren't Farnese and Serpico half sis/bro? From what I recall their father slept with a commoner and had Serpico.
south? south of.. where? I didn't get it u.u

And about them two, he's hers with or without any kind of incestry... though that could happen, as people said, since it wasn't uncommon between nobles - and she doesn't even know about their relativeness.
I wonder if he'll ever want to marry someone someday - that would go against that particular odd master and servant relashionship they have.

In America there is a stereotype about people from the southern parts of America. This applies to areas with lots of farmland and home to many 'rednecks.' The stereotype about 'the south' is they marry/reproduce within the family. Though mostly false (i hope) you can see a lot of this joke in TV shows and such.

As far as relationships in Berserk go, the only one I am certain is of Guts and Caska.
With a possible exception to Shierke and Isidro... but I see Shierke killing him instead :wink:

For the record, he's talking about the south United States, not South America. ;)

I'm from the mid-west, my state didn't even join the federation until after the civil war, but I'm close enough to the southern states to have had experience with peoples from the South. Sad to say, some of the stereotypes are true. That's to say it's like any stereotype though, there is some truth to it, but it doesn't apply to all people of that type.

Oh, I see now. That's the confusion I had - and I didn't know about this story of southern people either. Weird, uh? But I could see it happening somehow.
talking about stereotypes, I know about it :? I live in Brazil and there are things I hear that can't help but amaze me with such criativity ô.ô

It does look like schierke and Isidro will have something (a crush, maybe?)... nothing against it, but I really hope from the bottom of my heart things won't end with everyone getting a pair :? that'd be so... I don't know u.u

i think its more like ishidoro and schierk have a brother sister relationship cuz well thats how they treat each other
also when you see all of them together they seem like a family
Guts = father
bitch(serpico) = oldest brother
pansy ass(farneze) = oldest daughter
retard(caska) = retarded mother'
ishidoro = little bit older than the youngest brother
schierk = youngest

(note: this is all some bullshit i felt like posting)

Yes, that is indeed some stupid shit. I think there will be something between Isidro and Shierke, they keep giving each other that very awkward 'look'. Guts and Casca, no duh, a shit load of the story of berserk is based on that romance. I think Roderick and Farnese have a real chance. But Serpico's so cool that he really needs some kind of sexual encounter. And then there's Charlotte and Griffith, but Griffith is ... well, yknow. Charlotte's probably gonna get pregnant soon. Then there's Mule and Sonia. And what about Silat? he's got that whole cool exiled prince thing going on, like the prince of persia.

Are you speaking from your own family? Just kidding!

This lack of update is killing me. About Silat, that solves your question about Serpico... Let that sink in for a minute. Yeah I went there.

heh I feel like that too, but why can't "old brothers" turn into a couple after growing up a bit? :P
about farnese's roll in that, sometimes it feels like schierke is older than her :roll: - and for me she and Serpico are aunt and uncle

I don't think he's that cool, but I can't see him getting anyone...

Yeah, he praises her and she accepts it well (she likes it), but it's not like they'll fall in love, if things stay in that way (but you never know, things happen...). And, not wanting to repeat myself but already doing it, Farnee-chan's got to get jealous to do something funny :D

Well, you do realize that the Japanese have a hive mind like bees, that's why they all think alike, no matter where they are. Bees don't care about incest, why should the Japanese?

Um....yeah. You know, I think it might be time for you to move into a nice, cozy room with padded walls where kind people will take care of all of your needs, all day long. Yep, definately getting to that time.

So if a random Japanese person on the street doesn't know when the next chapter is out, then neither does Miura?

At this point Miura doesn't really count as a normal Japanese person anymore. But any urbanite Japanese person, cmon, you can't say they don't all think alike, and there's so many of em. No individuality. Manga is a good example of this, with very few exceptions like Berserk or FMA. And you do realize the best ones out there, like the ones I mentioned, are based outside of Japan and Japanese culture. But then again, there always is a 1% exception to every rule.

Lol, Herald, you're so funny! I mean yes, the cultural norms in Japan account for a lot of the similarities, but every Japanese person does not think alike!

I think Harald is joking. Sure hope so, anyway. Because if he's serious...well let's just say that it would raise disturbing questions about him and leave it at that.

Urbanite Japanese person? Have you ever been down to the Ginza district in Tokyo?

And Japanese culture plays a huge role, represented many times more than any other, in their Mangas and Anime.

But then again, there always is a 1% exception to every rule.
Huh?

I think it was the same post where he mentioned that he was thinking about cosplaying as Slann, actually. Which also, admitedly, raised some serious questions about him.

I think Miura's age is catching up to him.

Editor: Umm... you haven't worked on Berserk for several months.
Miura: ... the hell's Berserk?!

I kid of course. Here's to 298 hopefully coming out soon.
