I mainly relied on downloading fansubs and scans at that time to satisfy my craving for more and better stories. And then one day I saw Berserk on some anime review site, where people went completely nuts about this anime and gave it very high ratings, so I thought I'd download and try this one out and see what all the fuss was about. I was still very sceptical about this title since I had already seen enough of the heroic genre in my life, and usually those stories are very boring and unrealistic to me. Besides, seeing that incredibly huge sword of the main character didn't really help raising my expectations. But boy was I wrong. The first episode didn't immediately catch on to me, though, but there were some interesting and unique elements in it which made me want to watch more. After the second episode I was already completely hooked and there was no way back for me anymore.
After seeing the fansubs and scans of the manga I decided to hunt this one down on online shops and bought everything I could from this amazing piece of work. I bought the manga, artbooks, a dreamcast + the game, subscription to Young Animal, everything (except merchandise, besides a beherit and a few keychains recently). Berserk even made me decide to start to learn the Japanese language, it's almost pathetic really. ;)

And I'm like...are you suuuuuure? Cause he had picked up Vandread, with the crappy looking CG mecha on the foil cover and I was all doubtful about that one too. But suuure enough, Berserk was FUCKING AWESOME and Vandread was damn good too. ^_^
And they lived happily evar after...
Somewhere there must be a subliminal message there on all Berserk items....'You will be an addict.'
Man, it isn't the more important. Btw, I think girls not liking it/being indifferent would have my preferance for some reasons.TheBlackSwordsman said:man, i wish i could find a lady around where I lived who likes Berserk.
