Imperator Hanseatic
Ultimately just a crippled neet who loves Berserk.

From my own experience viewing this forum for the past three years and my own (admittedly limited) interactions with Aaz, I must reinforce that this is simply not the case. Aaz and I don't necessarily see eye-to-eye on everything, but when we disagree and discuss things he has not disregarded my opinion at all. In fact, when we were talking about the latest anime episode it seemed that he began to see some of what I saw (even though that ultimately did not change his overall opinion), and we ended amicably with a better understanding of each other's views, and dare I say the anime itself. Amazing what happens when you don't take criticism of your ideas personally and then resort to personal attacks.
TricksieThiefsie said:I know that and I like Griffith for this otherwordly feeling but at the same time it seems lazy. I mean, he is the antagonist of this series and he is reduced now to a character that we have to imagine ourselves. Him being too abstract is a good thing if you get something else in return but we dont get anything really. Thats the whole point, we are meant to be far from him but we dont get anything for that. Also we got some (not much)insight into other God Hand members.
As for Griffith, I can see how one might see him as uninteresting, but only if they don't look at the bigger picture. Miura does indeed make mistakes, but I would hardly say such a mistake is present at the core of the series in the portrayal of our main antagonist. People throughout this thread have given examples of what we've got with Griffith/Femto, yet you still say we've got nothing. What insight have we got into the other God Hand members that in any way comes close to the entire Arc that was essentially backstory for Griffith/Femto (and everyone else but that's not the point here). I wouldn't even call him abstract. What he is is clear as day, even though some details are intentionally left murky for now. If anything, the "little" we've got of Griffith just makes me more excited to see what more (if anything) is going on in his head when it's inevitably revealed.
TricksieThiefsie said:Well, there are definitely different viewpoints on this character. If you like him as a being who is so godly that we cant understand what the fuck is going on, he is interesting, compelling even. But this is where you have failed, because you said that my viewpoint sucks. I dont think the same about you.
Indeed there are many viewpoints of the character. Most of them however are grounded in the facts. Non sequitur: You like this, so it is interesting/compelling. That does not follow at all, and that's before even touching on the fact that we actually do understand what is going on with Griffith. We've been told multiple times.
Finally I fail to see how "you said my viewpoint sucks therefore I win" even makes sense; You've made it abundantly clear what you think thus far.
