There is a selfish thought that says that the boys like Berserk why it shows monsters, fights, nude girls, rapes and the girls like Berserk why has beautiful characters, of the romantic scenes and they dislike when they see violence scenes and rapes etc. I think who thinks of that way doesn't understand anything. Here in Brazil, I have many friends (men and women in general) that as I didn't like certain scenes as the rape of Caska and your insanity, Griffith has luck in everything, damned Trolls, etc. but has others that say that found the maximum and that until they twist for a tragic end, because in agreement with them Berserk is on the suffering. I don't totally agree with this statement, because I consider " her selfish and badly explained ". It is true that Berserk counts a tragic history, but above all in the display a love history, friendship, loyalty, tragedies, pain and the most important, hope! The road of Gatts is black, everybody knows about that, but doesn't say if him will die or to live or that all the characters will die and ready! If we observed well, characters of the previous sagas, like Nina, Teresia, Luca, Jill was strong and they had another life sense. Already other like Farnese, Serpico, Isidro, Caska, Schierke and own Gatts still look for explanations and hopes for your lives. If Gatts lives, for me it will be great, but if he dies and before it has concluded your mission and found all the answers of your life, I could say that the mission of Berserk was accomplished ! :)
