These ones are particularly bad from what I've listened to, so that doesn't make it easier.
I'll never understand the appeal behind this kind of "music."
What I didn't include here was a panel where the writer admires Erica's underwear. It's not fit to bear Berserk's name.
Ugh. Fucking gross. What kind of an idiot edited that garbage together, seriously? I get that they were out of ideas for what to fill that book with, but seriously? Who thought this was a good idea? No way Miura greenlit that shit.
I don't know if I want to touch Memoirs of an Invisible Man
For example, he talks at length about how he doesn't plan very far in advance, creates dialogue for scenes on-the-spot, etc., but then drops the bombshell that he created the idea of the Beast manifesting from the Berserk Armor back in Volume 16 — 10 volumes ahead of its debut. So much for not making explicit plans!
I buy everything that has Miura's name on it, and the artwork still gives me a small window into his intent with the story. So I appreciate it for that, if nothing else.
Some new info is available on Dark Horse's site: https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/3002-722/Berserk-Deluxe-Volume-1-HC
But it indicates that it won't have a re-translation, because the translator is listed as Jason DeAngelis, the original translator of Volume 1-3, who they haven't used ever since.
Also, it has a firm date (
He's all benevolent now, but just wait until Episode 358: Get Off My Lawn!
Summary: Griffith expels a group of troublesome children from the Castle Falconia courtyard because their incessant racket won't allow him to concentrate on meeting his literal world shaping deadlines! A political firestorm erupts and loyalties are shaken when the children's bones are later discovered in Zodd's doggy dish.
Damn what would this board be without you Grif? HahahaThis actually opens up so many possibilities where travel may have been a barrier. The biggest one perhaps being how Griffith and the Falcons could have reached Skellig. Whereas before it may have seemed a bit impractical for them to march and sail all the way to the island in a world that is already overwrought with violent astral creatures, now they could reasonably go there whenever they wanted, without much effort and with minimal travel time.
Of course, that's putting the cart before the horse as we don't really have a clearly defined motivation for such an attack. But it does further open up the possibility.
Fast travel unlocked.
Maybe not in this thread, but I've written quite a bit about the little guy: http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=14744.0
What about Conrad's origins?! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT TRULY MATTERS ANYMORE?
Actually, on the contrary, I couldn't really care less about the individual God Hand or their backgrounds (and SK and Zodd are already pretty solidly established characters, we already know them well, specifics aside). They're cool and serve an important function in the story, but that's also the extent to which I care about them. If we get extensive, relevant backgrounds on them down the line, great, I'll enjoy that and care more, but I won't be disappointed if we don't and they just are what they are. I understand the curiosity about them, but not that sort of investment at the expense of much richer characters.
He said back in 2012 that maybe we'd see what they were up to "soon." It was far from definitive though. He was playing along with the interviewer's obviously frothing anticipation. It certainly made for a memorable moment for us, but that was 6 years ago...
For some reason, I just have a gut feeling that a member of the God Hand is going to show up during this switch to Griffith's POV. Miura always has something exciting planned whenever a POV shifts in the series, and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us this time.
