Hahaha-- I didn't think there was anything particularly passive about it. Seemed pretty direct and to the point to me. Definitely intended it. Sorry if I wasn't more direct.
There's a lot to like about this board, but to me this aspect is not one of them. That's all. It's just not really a...
I don't quite get what your saying here. What "common meanings" is Forest Wraith trying to use that don't apply to Berserk?
I thought the "immortality through Guts' child" was a stretch-- mostly because I don't see Guts have a real relationship with that child, or his opinion of himself...
Hmmmm.... appears my long post was lost (or deleted?) into the annals of internet no-where land. Basically, I liked Forest Wraith's take on Quilpoth. Made a lot of sense to me. Oh, and Miura doesn't have to intend for something to have metaphorical meaning for an element of the story to have...
You wont find much support on this board for any thinking that involves direct outside influences-- i.e. Jungian psychology or specific mythic references, whatever case you might present. I think you bring up a lot of interesting point-- I found the bit about Odin particularly interesting. I...
Well, yeah, if the sounds are mistranslated-- if the Japanese sound affect doesn't literally translate as the "GPA!" sound-- then that would be what I would call a mistake. But, to me,if that's the sound in Japanese, then whether or not its a dumb sound, I'd like to know what it sounds like in...
I don't get your point here Aaz... How are you thinking the kana provides more info than a translation would? An SFX box online provides a literal sound translation-- it doesn't have the graphic representation of the sound that he kana gets-- that's true-- but I don't see how they're telling...
Man, people get bent out of shape so easily. Just for the sake of presenting a variety of opinions, I thought I'd share mine (which I'm sure are in the minority)--
I thought the SFX were a bit over the top, but I prefer to know what the sounds are, to having no boxes at all. I definitely...
I read that Clive Owen didn't want to be Bond-- that he was offered the part, but turned it down because he had more interesting acting options available to him. Can't say I necessarily blame him. I love Bond films, but as an actor they don't really require much from you-- they can't be very...
I just wanted to say that that conversation was fascinating and, IMO at least, really worth its time in this thread. I'm sure some might think otherwise, which is cool, but I often wish discussions that went beyond the mechanics of the episode, and into "deeper", more...
Geez man, I know that was the front page of the site..... ::chuckle:: ::sigh:: I'm simply saying that pose, with the mast, seemed particularly like a Superman pose. Obviously, knowing the manga better than I, perhaps you've seen other poses in the past that were also very "Supermanish" that I...
Thank you Aaz, for your very detailed reply. I still disagree, but whatever.
Indeed, Guts has often done many heroic things. I simply thought the thing with the mast (which is obviously much less amazing than many other things he's done) was very "Supermanish"-- the pose specifically. It...
