Okin said:What I like about Berserk is that when characters have disgusted me, it was Miura's intention. I can understand and appreciate almost every character in this way.
Least favorite before the eclipse would have to be... Carcus. because I don't think we saw much personality or should I say individuality in him. All I know about him now is that he was very loyal to the hawks, especially the raiders, and he was once a tailor (right?) in Midland, and his english voice actor should have made a DBZ reference at some point in the anime dub.
But when it comes to current or recent characters, I would say Isidro. I like his personality and character design, but I just need more backstory to understand what motivated him to leave a comfortable home and parents? Well, I'm assuming by saying "comfortable". All we know about his past is from his brief conversion with the old man from the town that was ravaged by trolls. To me, he seems pretty selfish and stupid to leave a happy life simply for glory. I've always felt that characters that seek nothing but fame are a little pathetic. He wants to be the best swordsman, but he has no prior relationship to swordsmanship other than that he thinks its cool. Though all this could be cleared up with a little more backstory. I guess, I would be satisified with that.

Forest Wraith said:No, that was Gaston, Carcus was the leader of a band of thieves . . . Did you even read the thread before you made your post? I'm afraid that your critique of Isidro's character is also just as lacking in insight.
Okin said:Dear god I'm sorry about the Gaston/Carcus thing. It was late alright...ok so it wasn't late.
Ok, I'll bite. Anyone willing to enlighten me on what depth Isidro has, or what insight I lack. I'm asking you to criticize me here. And could Forest maybe say something constructive?

The Happy End wouldn't be complete if Puck didn't marry Ivalera.

Walter said:You can't even appreciate him for the sake of the story? Poor Jodo just really deserved to live, eh?
Yeah, I've never understood this thread. I don't see how you can take "story appreciation" out of the equasion. As Aaz said earlier in the thread, Griffith is the main antagonist. If he was 100% lilkable, he'd be a pretty lame antagonist. I guess I just don't see how people take it so personally.CnC said:story appreciation doesn't apply to this thread
I don't know about that. Troughout the thread some people, although a minority, evaluated a character by looking at his/her role in the storytelling rather than his/her behavior.CnC said:story appreciation doesn't apply to this thread
