Long time lurker, first time poster!
There is something about this preview picture that made me want to share the feelings that I felt when I saw it. I have been following Berserk for the past 6 or 7 years, and the stuff on the skullknight.net as well, but I have never felt any real inclination to post. However, there was something very powerful in this preview picture that appealed to me a great deal.
To me, one of the main appeals of Berserk is that, no matter what happened so far, and probably in the future, Guts has remained human. As the story progresses, and circumstances get tougher, it is easy to forget that Guts is just a normal human being, and this picture has really served very well to remind me how vulnerable and fragile he actually is. There was also something about the way this picture has been drawn. I am no artist, but the best word I can use to describe this picture is "soft". It could be due to the lighting inside the ship, or it could just be an effect Miura is employing, but I must take my hats off to him for creating such an emotional picture.
And thanks to blueberserk for providing the preview so early!
