Wow, after all this stalking I'm finally registered again.
But who cares.

Isn't it funny how all this off-topic posts started just because Orochimaru thought that Ayanami is female.

To get on topic myself, I can't wait to (hopefully) see Guts getting Berserk soon. I don't know if it's going to happen but I think many of us want to see it again 'cause there was a little bit much story telling in the last chapters. I don't think it's this bad, but I myself miss the emotions coming up when Guts is in battle.

I don't think this is the right spot in the story for a blood bath, but you never know.

I don't think it'll happen at the ball too but I think some bigger battles will show up soon.

Yeah, we can be pretty sure that big battles will never too far away in Berserk...

Nice av, BTW.

It'll probably be Farnese reaching a conclusion about herself, just like Shierke did at the pier. Gatts won't get much action, except to walk away looking cool. But I could be wrong...

Let him rest. Poor Gatts, he's ill. Now when I look at his face I can see Kenshin's on his last days..

We will need a new hero soon enough.. But well... I think I would fit the role. Y'know, run around with a sword bigger than you. Being possesed by some kind of dog on sundays. Who couldn't do that?

The reason that we keep noobs around here is to make ourselves feel like geniuses. I must say it works.

Yeah, It's a common one. But somehow, it works with you.

So now the preview is out Miura will probably think he can take a break for the next few months, since he already gave us a part of our fix.

Damn, I should just totally ignore berserk for the next five years and then read it all in one go.

Heh, yeah. But I think they'll have to bound me in shackles to stop me from reading it though. :wink: :P

And eventually I'll break free and roam the lands as a crazed beast looking for a computer which has five years worth of Berserk chapters.

It's like a drug. If you stop taking it just tasting a bit of it will bring you back.

I must say I've really come to value manga artists who know how to finish a story. Even if the end is not the big bang, at least you can read it all and then say "Well, that was that then, move on to the next." I'm not saying I want Berserk to end, but perhaps Miura should just hire an army of artists to help him out :).

What if Miura gets killed by a car crossing a road?...

What would we do?

To get back on topic... 254 has been available for download at Udanraws for some time now. I would link to the channel, but I lose at IRC and you all probably know how to get there anyway.

zOMG My first post has been acknowledged by Buzkashi himself (This may seem strange to you, but I've been hanging around here for so long I have come to regard a lot of people on this forum as demi-gods, residing on a completely different plane of existence, apart from us regular forum-goers and lurkers). I thank you.

Regarding #254... I actually expected them to prance around and talk a bit more before the ball, but it appears Miura wants to speed up the storytelling a bit. Which is fine by me. :)

...which doesn't mean squat. :P

I hope I get to see some carnage. It'd be pretty sucky if Guts arrives at the ball in the last page of the chapter...and then we'd have to wait another 2 weeks to see the confrontation.
