Evil Genius

istvan,
thanks for the reply.

fujinsan,

actually i have already researched too much on the subject...DOH! It turns out she's still around, memory lost, etc. The question is whether or not Miura wants them to have a happy ending as right now she appears to be one of the driving forces for the Guts to be doing the things he does, trying to get her memory back, etc

I'm not sure if there is any other romantic interest for Guts along the way, or up to this point in the series--dont need any spoilers, heh--but it's nice to know that she is still around and that they might work out in the end...

now..if she drives him crazy enuf, your scenario might work out after all.

I wish, at the moment Caskas only dead weight that's pissing everyone and their mothers off. I am a romantic myself at heart, but when your girlfriends two fruitloops short of your morning breakfast then she gotta go.

Please. If she was that close to normal (only two fruitloops short), he should definately keep her. In this case, it's the fact that she's an entire bowl's worth of fruitloops, the milk, the spoon, and the bowl itself short of a morning breakfast (leaving only the napkin and the table) that's the problem.

The first half of Volume 1 in the manga is maybe equivalent to the first episode of the anime. Then some major story comes around foreshadowing the eclipse and Guts' first real fight against a demon count and I think at the end of chapter 3 the flashback to the Golden Age arc kicks in. The anime is mostly true to the manga in that arc, besides a few scenes and minor characters, and the eclipse happens in Volume 12/13 in the manga, so if you're not up to rereading everything you've seen in the anime, I'd read 1-3, and then from 12/13 on up to now.

That would mean you missed the whole Wyald and the Black Dog Nights scenario, along with Guts encounters with the Barikala clan.

Yeah, and the Barikala clan is seeming as if it will become increasingly important. Given how intricate Miura's plot is, and how tightly woven everything is, I'd advise not skipping anything. The anime only included what was relevent to the story they were telling-the Golden Age. I think they did a very good job at that, but it means that a number of things relevent to the story as a whole, but not to the Golden Age, got dropped. You should probably just read it all if you don't want to miss anything.

because if it did none of us would be able to enjoy the burnage as thoroughly

yes you do have a point there lol.

The only thing that could make this thread better is further input by the OP. Classic shit.

thanks for all the feedback so far.

It appears that Amazon is one of the better place to get the manga, but i need to go to one of the monthly anime meetings in the DC area to see if anyone has the books that I can borrow first--I would even prefer to buy used copies if i can save a little money for the first 22-23 volumes.

Once I get to vol 23, where do i start to look for the downloads? via mIRC channels per the FAQ? if someone wouldn't mind laying that out for me, that would be great. feel free to PM me if needed. I do know that only the recent chapters / volumes are available to dload off of this site.

Hey keither8, if you're still around just let me know what your suggestions for the story are.

I'll be sure to forward them directly to Mr. Miura. Setting up that Japanese email account was hard as hell so don't worry about it...

This thread is classic...

so I've merged it for all to enjoy.

so when does each chapter come out how many weeks will it take??

I agree.......

Whats up with the grossly deformed avatars noobs have been picking up lately? I mean, seriously, at least take the time to make it look presentable.

May be ridiculously out of proportion pixelated avatars are the new fad?

Go read the FAQ. Then don't ask such questions again.

Although at least you picked the right thread for it.

Hi all.

Hum Hum...

I read Vinland Saga, Berserk (of course), Zetman, Open Sesame, One Piece, Gantz, Vagabond, HNI, REAL etc.

I hate the mosquito and i think that live in the island is a good choice.

Truth to that! Welcome to the board Exicron. Your English is kind of funny to read, but it's all good. You're English is way better than my French, so nothing to complain about there. You've made the right first step by making your first post in this thread, good work!

There's always room for more sheep here. Just follow War Machines lead.....Baaaahhhh..................

BTW......this is what Zidane is known for in the US. Dude doesn't belong in the same sentence as Kobe.

Don't tell me you actually think they're the better option.

Guys guys...

This isn't a "Indecision 2008" thread, so keep it civil...

ah, i missed this place. took about a two year hiatus from all things related to manga. it's good to catch up on all the Berserk, biomega, and zetman goodness.

i like the new look of the forum also, but I'm glad most things haven't changed.
