Re: How can I convince my friend to watch/read Berserk?
A horrible way to lure someone in? Guys, think about what you're saying and don't jump to conclusions. We're talking about hooking someone, getting them interested enough to read the whole manga. How do you do that? You give them a manageable serving, a choice cut that neither significantly spoils n...

How I get people to read Berserk:
I start them off at the beginning of the Lost Children Arc, with the Holy Iron Chain knight's first appearance. It works well as a self-contained story; I just tell them that the protagonist and his 'sidekick' will be the only characters who aren't appearing for the first time, and that they don't n...

Re: coolest type of Berserk Video Game?
Mount and Blade is the definitive medieval mercenary company simulator. It's surprisingly easy to play out the Band of the Hawk's ascent; the fall would be a tad trickier, as I have yet to find any options that involve sleeping with the king's daughter and your captors have the oddest tendency to *n...

Berserk manga art
As opposed to Berserk fan art or official Berserk promotional art. I think we could use a thread that's just about those original manga pages that can stand on their own as works of art. For example, grabbing a handful from volume 30: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Dagda_Mor/Berserkv30c257p0...

Re: berserk dumbest moments
These points may have already been raised, and I probably ought to specify exactly who these responses apply to, but: -Berserker Armor is implausible Magic. -Berserker Armor does more harm than good That's the point. -People make stupid decisions That's realism. -People make improbable decisions -Ev...

Re: Berserk Cosplay
I'd actually like to cosplay as Serpico at Sakura-con next year- in his current outfit, because while his initial armor would be incredibly awesome it's a task I'll leave to the expert costume creators. I'm puzzled enough by the issue of how to make the feather sword, plus the issue of his hair (I c...

Re: Your reaction to the Great Eclipse
The anime may have the twist come out of left field to a greater degree, but the manga is even worse, I think. The scene where Guts is running through the woods, with flashes of his memories- that is the part where I truly cried a little.

Re: Berserk Stupid theories
In addition to restoring Caska, the elf king will also note Guts' issues and solve them the easy way: By triggering the same mental defense mechanism he just undid with Caska and causing Guts to regress to the mental state of a child. Of course, this is the mind of a child who was already fighting a...

Re: Berserk: 287 - "Bubbles"
I don't think I'd call Hellsing boring- if only because every time a new chapter comes out it never fails to reduce me to a drooling fanboy once more for being oh-so-awesome. And some part of me just loves Hirano for being a lazy bastard instead of a workaholic like most mangakas.

Re: Berserk Abridged Talkback
The "two front teeth" segment was worthy of AMV Hell. Seriously, they're doing the 4th one right now, you should polish it up and send it in. Also, "We've had crossbows this whole time?" had me in stitches.

Re: Berserk: 287 - "Bubbles"
I actually had a different impression about one thing in this chapter- I think that Schierke was actually the one who pulled them out, without Farnese realizing who was responsible. Also, has this page come up recently? The lower right panel seems like an extra clue with regards to what awaits Guts ...
Re: Fan Art
These are great, although, as a personal preference I would prefer the light version. There's just more contrast and it looks prettier. Yeah, I'm actually inclined to agree, if only because of the way the image is set up in the first place. Still, it's fun to try out something you wouldn't normally...
Re: Fan Art
The coloring may have taken as long as ten hours; I wasn't keeping track. Again, I'm figuring things out as I go, so I'm continually getting more efficient at this. The filter took about 60 seconds to drag the sliders around. In anticipation of the upcoming release, I sat back down and powered my wa...
Re: Fan Art
I've been working some more with photoshop lately, so I figured I'd take a stab at coloring some manga. And of course, if I was going to try coloring something it'd have to be from something from berserk, a scene I hadn't seen colored before. I toyed around with filters some after finishing, and rat...

I couldn't stand the Hellsing translations. I wouldn't have minded if only one character had a strong accent, but the way they translated it was like anyone who even might have an accent had to have one. It just made reading it a pain, and I couldn't enjoy it. IMO it was a brilliant move on the tra...

Lone Wolf and Cub is highly recommended, and Blade of the Immortal is a great read as well, but hello? What the hell are you people thinking, neglecting Hellsing and Trigun Maximum?
