I know it's hard my fellow Sk.net posters, but what some of your favorite episodes? Obviously there are no "bad" episodes in Berserk, but I'm curious to know which ones had more of an impact on you personally or which ones always stood out in your mind. For me, in volume 8, episodes 34-36 titled Morning of the Journey (or Morning of Departure in Darkhorse) always was one of my favorites. Not just because of the fact that Guts and Griffith faced each other in a duel for a second time, but because of the way it is illustrated. It is just such a dramatic scene without being over dramatic in any way. It starts with Guts and Judo talking in the bar and ends with Guts walking away from the Hawks. The whole sequence is so well done, with all the major characters involved having great dialog (well, not Pippin of course). The whole Golden Age Arc is great but it is at that moment where I always get that "oh boy, shit just got real" moment. I almost wish I could erase all my knowledge of Berserk just so I could read that scene again fresh. It's the defining moment, the catalyst for everything that is to come in the next few books, and it's masterfully done.
Does anyone else get shivers down their spine from the pure amazingness of a particular episode?
