BREAKING NEWS! Guts' model is Rutger Hauer! Episode 1 is CRAP! Miura is a hermit

[waqas]

Ok, so this stuff may not actually be breaking news to anyone but myself, but since I found this interview for the first time today it is breaking news to me. So, for any of you who haven't read the interview (i.e. Noobz or the embarrassingly ignorant like myself) here you go:

Yea i think most people have read this interview or watched it on the 3rd dvd, but for those who have not, hey, there it is.

I'm starting to assume the guy has a horrible disfigurement.. or something of the like. Not even Michael Jackson's kids are as shrouded(HAR HAR) in secrecy.

There used to be picture of him floating around here somewhere, but I don't have it. No major deformities there though. ;)

Yeah, he was pictured sitting next to the mangaka of Vagabond at the Academy Awards of Comics, winning second place.
He seemed like he could be depressive.

Of course, who wouldn't be when they take extended leaves from B00B1E LAND PARADISE?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!?????!?!?? ???

Goetz von Berlichingen (1481-1562) was an Imperial Knight and miltary leader, owner of the castle Hornberg. He was known as "Goetz of the Iron Hand" on account of the iron replacement for his right hand, lost at the siege of Landshut in 1504. Aside from being the subject of a play by Goethe, Herr von Berlichingen's name has become proverbial in Germany because of the following anecdote.
During one of the many little wars waged throughout the Holy Roman Empire, Goetz and his troops were besieged at the Hornberg by the army of one of the Imperial Prince-Bishops. The belligerent ecclesiastic called upon Goetz to surrender "in the name of the Emperor." Goetz's reply is roughly translated: "His Majesty knows of my loyalty to him. But you, my dear Bishop can kiss my ass."

And to this very day, the term "Goetz von Berlichingen" has come to symbolise defiance, preferably against overwhelming odds.

Goetz von Berlichingen (1481-1562)...

Someone already beat you to the punch a while back. But I'm too lazy to find the thread right now.

Yeah, you're right Ash from Evil dead never carried a giant sword and the closest thing to a cannon was his boomstick, and I suppose he wasn't ever anime/manga/video game, so I guess he doesn't count, but there's also Götz von Berlichingen, who was a historical character in germany with a metal hand that's famous words were like, "Kiss my arse!" or something. Visit

for more information on Götz. :)
But I suppose he too wasn't from any anime/manga/video game. :-\
So that brings me to if you mix barret and cloud from FFvii, you get man with artificial hand with giant sword. ;D

Said a little while ago but still informative. ;D

Actually, no, not the "real" one. He's not French enough. That's just his public double.

You have no idea how many times that question has been asked whenever that picture is shown.
