Berserk 306 - Fantasia

[Aetherfukz]

What, the Herald is female? What gives?

And also, implying that Berserk might have jumped the shark on the very forum of the group that translates the manga for, I'd say, the rest of the non-japanese world, is like going into the Manchester United stadium while they are training and screaming at the top of your lungs: ManU sucks huge monkey balls! While hilarity may ensue, rough beatings may also.

[War Machine]

Yeah. The Herald has clearly crossed the line with that last post.

... why? I didn't break any rules, but I don't need to bark them at you (considering some of you are mods).

P.S. I'm a girl and I take no offense to your flaming, so really at this point its just for your own enjoyment.

Femto wannabe move, right there.

PS: Holy shit! My world is turned upside down, I had no fucking idea you were a girl. Ha ha ha!

[The Herald]

Consider me beaten up then. In the internet world I'm bruised, bloodied, and got a few broken bones. Yeah I used the term wrong, I apologize for being a dumbass, but I'm just worried (as I'm sure the rest of you are too) that Berserk has become a little too out there, liken to animes such as Evengelion (though considering that one and how many of you feel about it I'm not going to say anything more than I personally didn't feel like it was worth watching the last few episodes). Now I'll just go sit in the corner and watch you guys have at it (or me as the case may be) again.

P.S. Someone else say something regarding Berserk or something

[Rolos]

Berserk can wait a little, the bastard. It comes out at a ridiculously slow rate and expects us to do nothing but talk about it in the meantime?
I say: Screw it!
(yes, it is my deeply held belief that Berserk is a sadistic sapient entity that, having possessed the poor, hapless ape-descended creature known as kentano Miura, now spends its time torturing people by giving them occasional glimpses of its majesty)

Ahem.
YOU, The Herald, a girl/woman?
Bullshit.
You don't feel like a girl. You just don't. I don't really have any other reason to doubt your claim, but I have been thinking of you for so long as if you were a dude that its just too bothersome to revise the way I see you.
In my mind, you will always be The Herald, that dude that likes real robot series and feels an unhealthy attraction towards Roderick.



PD: I am currently at Ushuaia, the farthest (to the south) human settlement that's not in Antarctica (excepting Puerto Williams, but that place is so scarcely populated it doesn't really count. Besides, its disgusting , even by third world standards).
Ushuaia is cold as hell, but the chicks are hot and the booze abundant. Winter vacation has never been so awesome.
I'm fucking ecstatic.

PD2: Sorry if something I said doesn't make any sense, I just tried the local alcoholic beverage , a weird tasting combination of gin, vodka and fernet.

Meh, I wasn't offended. I was just fucking with you, Herald, you should know that. I may not agree with you, but I'm not worried about whether people think Berserk is the best or not. I know the manga has gotten pretty "far out there", but I still say it's just part of the story's natural progression. I'm sure this is where the author was always intending to take the story. We have yet to see Miura's true master design come to full fruition. Thus Berserk clearly hasn't "jumped the shark", but I'm not surprised you didn't fully understand the meaning of that phrase. Everyone wants to throw it around so much these days, that it loses it's proper context, so I can't really hold that against you. Personally I like where the manga has gone, and where it seems to be going. You were only stating your opinion, and that's fine. I don't expect everyone to praise Berserk, or even to particularly like it. As long as your not making a scene, then for me, as a mod, there's no problem. Femto has said worse things about Berserk, and we still can't get rid of him.

The Herald is a girl? Ha! Yeah right. More like, he wants to be a girl. If you really are a girl dude, then I just can't believe it. I've played to many MMO's, you'd be amazed at all the woman I've met online that were really men, lol. So I have a hard time buying it. Did one of the other mods edit The Herald's post? What's going on here?

Its all in good fun!

None of the original responses to your post were being serious. At least mine certainly wasn't.

....But by getting yourself worked up about things, you're just stoking the fire.

[The Prince]

Hmmm....You sound somewhat disappointed.

BTW....Herald wanting to dress up as Farnese makes a lot more sense now.

Yeah....I don't know what's up Aetherfukz arse (well actually ....I might.....). The Herald is entitled to his opinion, just like we're entitled to flame it.

Like it or not I do agree that Miura has always planned on taking things in the direction the story has gone. By making things start off so realistic (relatively speaking), it has made events such as the eclipse and what we are seeing now so shocking or at least more impactful. Lets not forget that it had taken well over a decade into the story just to shed light on why Berserk was titled "Berserk" in the first place.

I'm not sure if I like the direction Miura has taken things either, as recently Berserk doesn't feel the same to me. But I'm as interested as anybody to know just how all this craziness is going to play out. And I'm sure everyone shares the same frustration with Miura's current pace. When you consider its been well over a year since we've seen any progression regarding Guts storyline.

P.S..Does anyone else have trouble typing replies while quoting another. For some reason I am unable to see where or what I'm typing. Its like after I type something the screen defaults away from where I'm currently writing....

When in Rome...or "wherever the blazes you are".....

Why aren't you out there macking among those crazy Antarcticean amazon broads?

[Starnum]

Okay Prince, you think you could calm it down with all the double posting? You know we're particular about that around here. I know it's hard to copy and past and all, but there's no reason you can't put all of your quotes and replies in a single post like the rest of us. I'd appreciate it if you'd only double post when no one else has posted in the thread for a few days, thanks.

I'm not sure what problem you're having with your replies, everything seems fine to me. What I always do when I want to quote two different people in one post is copy and paste the other quotes into a single post. It takes a little more effort, but it's more efficient, and we appreciate that. I'm not trying to give you a hard time about it, I hope you understand. It's just that if you have to make a separate post for each quote, that's going to clutter things up. Then the n00bs will think they can just spam the threads all they want. Not that this forum has a ton of posts coming in every day, but that's besides the point. If it's a technical issue you're having, I'm not sure, you might ask Arke about it, or someone else that would know about that kind of stuff.

[Starnum]

Aw, you sound so dejected in that post.

Well thanks for understanding. I'm not trying to be a hard-ass, I guess I'm just kind of picky. If your having trouble with your browser while replying, you might try some trouble-shooting, or describe the problem to us in more detail, and maybe someone will have some good suggestions. *shrugs*

[The Herald]

I don't see why it's so hard for you guys to believe I'm a girl, because I am. I'll try not to say too much about myself because that's stupid on the internet, but lets just say I've always been the tomboy and I just talk like a guy. I was on the boy's baseball team when I was in highschool for fuck's sake. Just think about my previous posts: I like romance, want to dress up like Farnese or Slan, consider Farnese my favorite character, and get pissed off when Berserk takes a direction that is demoralizing to its female characters. I thought you guys would have gotten it earlier. Sorry I lied about my gender or whatever, don't know how you would have accepted me if I were a girl from the start.

Now that that's all done with, I must say that I do believe that we'll be seeing more of Guts and co, but of course not until September.

And Warmachine, you can put your signature back up, it is funny.

Well, okay, if you say so. Fair enough. I guess that does make sense. Either that or you're just gay. I suppose that explains why you like Zach Effron so much. I can't stand that guy. I don't know why you didn't just tell us from the beginning though. I don't think it would have really changed much. If anything, we might have been nicer to you...maybe. XD

That does raise a question though. Who was that in the cosplay pic of Gatts then?

[The Herald]

That was me. I didn't think that I looked that masculine, but I do do karate ... do you want me to post a cosplay of me as Lady Tsunade for comparison?

And the point is that I don't want you guys to be nicer to me, I guess I was worried I'd get shafted from the flaming ... yeah, I know that doesn't make sense.

[some random flames about something crawling up my ass, which implies the prince would like to be that something]

I don't particularly like to explain myself, but let's just say some of you should read this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole

(Though, yeah, its often hard to imply such conotations as this, or sarcasm, on a text-only interface where the reader doesn't have mimic, gesture or intonation to be clued at it)

Can I be the first person to say who the hell cares about the gender of member A in the forum?

You're judged by the quality of your posts, not on your gender.

But you do get points for trying to explain yourself. It was quite entertaining (for me).

As for Berserk, I don't know. The discussion about you was more interesting at the time.

[Starnum]

do you want me to post a cosplay of me as Lady Tsunade for comparison?

Yeah, post it up for us. You could also post a pic of yourself in the Mugshot thread. I'm curious to see what you look like on a daily basis. I'm always curious to see what our regular members look like, and most of us have posted at least a few pics. That's how we all got to see the sexy beast that is Buzkashi. I'm pretty sure that guy was born with a full grown beard though.

You never know.....I always heard Austrian women were pretty hot....

[dialdfordesi]

Well, this is the internet, and unless stated otherwise, you're a dude. Some stuff makes a bit more sense now, other stuff clouded up how obvious it would be, but whatever.

I didn't find the crazy stuff that's happening right now to be out there and unexpected actually. In the third volume, we get the first glimpse of the God Hand, and where do they appear? In a background resembling Escher's "Relativity" (crazy stairs for you Family Guy fans). When we see Griffith become Femto, the demons all talk about how Femto will be the Herald for an age for the demons. It only makes sense that shit would get crazy.

[Rolos]

Yeah, we all knew something was going to happen, but the sheer scale of the changes (and their form) took most people by surprise.
I knew the worlds were going to merge. I said so.
On the other hand, I certainly did not expect the merged world to take the form it took. In my mind, it looked a lot less Fantasy-ed and a lot more Eldritch abomination-ed.
Still, I like the direction it took. Miura never ceases to surprise me.

[turkey]

I hope this tranformation will mean more violence and rape, soon. And who doesn't want to see Guts fucking kill a dragon. Who's with me here?

God damn, cheers to the good old days of troll rapings and ogre slaughter.
