Berserk |OT| - A new ERA for the Band of the Hawk
- Thread starter Sir Guts
- Start date
No problem :)
Anybody else feeling the impending doom that might happen? I imagine Griffith would try to conquer Elf Island sometime soon.
oh apparently, i have seen it. i just forgot :<
..... no, i think it'll take a while yet before doom happens. but i'm really enjoying this casca rescue stuff at the moment. the art is just gorgeous and very dreamy * __ *
well yeah, impending doom is kinda the default state of this series

Me too, Guts deserves this break.
True. The world of Berserk is the most batshit insane worlds ever seen.
In Berserk you either die, live miserably, live miserably and live long enough to meet Guts and then die or join his party...or Rickerts...or Griffiths.

The only good thing about the movie in my opinion was how they handled the Eclipse.
*phew*
i kinda miss all those war strategy stuff now though, back when the band of the hawk was still legit trying to move up the social ladder. it was really nice. now it's all monsters and demons and stuff :<
which boss monsters are your favourites, btw? i like rosine and mozgus was also memorable :> snake duder at the beginning was also a good opener :D
Rosine is way better than Mozgus. Grunbeld is probably my favorite though. I mean look at this fucking thing.
Does Miura even draw grotesque shit in Bersrk passed Lost Children arc? I don't remember too much currently.
The whole Qliphoth section was pretty grotesque, and I suppose some of the parasites living in the sea god weren't too pleasant to look at.
i dont think he has drawn really disturbing arc since lost children. there were some stuff in mozgus' dungeon that was kinda grotesque but nothing like the old arcs.
images wise, yeah, there's been some gruesome arts but context and depth wise, i think the tone is lighter and more fantasy and magicky these days.

It's pretty much a JRPG at this point.
It seems to still be there in bits and pieces, but it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I like a good balance to the whole thing.

Yeah I love Grunbeld he's badassRosine is way better than Mozgus. Grunbeld is probably my favorite though. I mean look at this fucking thing.
Plus Grunbeld has an honor code.Yeah I love Grunbeld he's badass
I do remember those, they even had dicks for hands. I just think there's a bit of a gap between heinous looking clusterfuck monster with dicks for kneecaps these days.
also that whole cthulu island during the boat ride, specifically the islands residents melting into fish people,
also the Kushan occupation turning the Midland capitol into a 'dread city' or something like that, lines of corpses hanging from every roof, and then that bizzare thing the emporer turned into.
also those fucking trolls.

and since we are talking apostles,
while i think the character is pretty meh, i love how locus looks in his demon form
the kinda surrealist vibe is rad as hell, and a very welcome contrast to the mangled flesh of most other apostles.

Yes because my memory is shit, hence my current reread.
At least I thought he had one. lol. I thought he was the respectable Apostle or something.
he wanted to 1v1 guts that one time at ivaleras place, killed an apostle that tried to butt in.
that fact that guts was pretty clearly in no shape to fight didn't seem to bother him tho.
strikes me like Zodds whole thing pre-dehorning, but with more pomp and less actual thought put into it.
oh yeah, Zodd exists, still easily my fav of all of Griffiths new crew.
yeah i know what ya mean.
when they showed up i definitely had a "really? were doing this now?" alrighty then." moment.
Grunbeld seemed disappointed with Guts, so it's possible he's too conceited to realise his opponent was fighting injured.

yes, him. i like :> it's so weird and arty :D
That was great. I enjoyed the whole boat arc quite a bit. Probably helped that I took a huge break from reading it while that was going on and caught up all at once.
I think the Slug Count has a great design too. Also I am a fan of the pumpkin scarecrow monsters.
But it's hard to beat Guts vs Zodd at the hill of swords...my favorite moment in the manga.
Yeah I could see that. I got kinda burnt out on the Golden Age from seeing the old anime over and over (my own fault), but it is really very good.
why were you seeing it over and over for, bro~
:>
also daddy goku ava is hilarious XD
I honestly do not know if they intended for it to be that funny.
It's one scene that was fairly accurate to the key art.
Still very very funny though, lol
Mozgus has never really came off as menacing. Most of the grotesque Mozgus stuff just revolves around the torture imagery. He's nothing more than a basic fanatic that slams his face into the floor a thousand times a day.
Agree 100%. Even his apostle form is more weird and lumbering than anything resembling more traditional angelic imagery.
i dont think he was meant to be menacing, hell he is the one of the only 2 characters that gives there attacks dumb anime names (the other being a literal joke character).
hes not meant to be menacing, just disgusting.

I honestly don't even think he's stronger than Rosine. He's definitely not characterized as well. He's driven by nothing more than a torture fetish that is masked by his faith.
Whatever Mozgus is he's just a forgettable weeb. The Conviction arc is good, but it's not good because of him. He's honestly a weaker villain narratively than Diavolo from Jojo Part 5.
i dunno, a fanatic that tortures the people that come to him for salvation and still genuinely believes he is helping them is pretty good to me.
and i dont get the weeb part at all?
i kinda liked mozgus, he was deranged but passionate and through that deranged devotion, he plays a part in that arc well
like how his burning body actually kept some of his followers safe even after he was struck down was such a nice detail to me
