Her: Oh wow! I LOVE THIS! This is great!
me: Oh well I'm glad you like it. I knew you would.
her: Yea the main character guy is so baddass! He's just like Sonosuke from Kenshin! Even has the same sword!
me: Uhh well, actually you see Guts is...
her: Is that really his name? Guts? I wish he had a cooler name but other than that I LOVE IT!
me: ...
Cool story! Glad you and your friend were able to find the series and appreciate it. It's becoming increasingly difficult for newer fans to find the earlier volumes, which is a real shame...Rendarg said:Took me one year, but i made it. Finally got my best friend to read it, and what can i say, he loves it.
I'm actually a new reader myself, just discovered Berserk one year ago. And since then i had been constantly nagging him to start reading it too, always talking in superlatives about it and how weak all the other stuff we know was in comparison.
I think what helped me was the fact that the manga series we are both reading together for 4-5 years now (and which is the only one he reads) has been constantly declining in terms of quality over the past year, down to a point were it's no more fun at all. So he had no other options left then to start reading Berserk. And i was really surprised, i had given him the first few volumes and 3 days later i called him on the phone, thought we could maybe talk about volume 1 or maybe 2, and he was already half way through the golden age arc. Was nice to see how reading Berserk even influenced his way of thinking, about himself and about other people and their feelings. I think on that day he must have just read the chapter were Guts talks to Casca on the hill above the camp, after the hundred men fight. He said it was the first time, that he just sat down for 10-20 minutes and really thought about the philosophy of a manga and it's elements in comparison to the world
It's actually reading from a dictionary file that's built into the server, and it's not something that's modifiable unfortunately.btw: the spellcheck of SK.net doesn't know the words manga and Casca
Especially since i want the english version from Dark Horse. Would be easier for me to get the german version here, but i had one of the chapters... in one scene they literally said "Guts you stupid stupid dumbo!"... while in the english version it was something like "Guts you selfish bastard!" I was like "wtf, what is this, the children's version?" I just have to admit, when it comes to swearing, your language is just awesome.Walter said:It's becoming increasingly difficult for newer fans to find the earlier volumes, which is a real shame...
Ah alright, i thought it was maybe just some textfile on the server, that one of the admins can access. Well, it's still funnyWalter said:It's actually reading from a dictionary file that's built into the server, and it's not something that's modifiable unfortunately.
It is, but SKnet is run on a shared server, not dedicated (we really don't need that much bandwidth...), so I don't have the ability to change it.Rendarg said:Ah alright, i thought it was maybe just some textfile on the server, that one of the admins can access. Well, it's still funny
The Schnoz has been an SKnet favorite since he first appearedps: aaawww there is the "noseman" from Qiploth in the background of the textframe, when you write something! This place is so awesome ^_^
