Now I think I know why the ending song of the anime was "Waiting So Long" by Silver Fins.

This is a noobish question, but: what is the record for longest gap between consecutive episodes of Berserk?
Guts intestines

--> Burn out ??!
When you're successful you can take as much time as you want off.

You're right, that was uncalled for, but was actually aimed more at the topic in general than that guy's question in particular, I just borrowed the phrasing since it was the last word on the subject. Also, I don't see what whining about the "whining" about the whining, days afterward, accomplishes either. Last I checked, we don't have an ombudsman. =)
SimplyEd said:Nah, just a creative pause of many. He needs that time to bring us an incredible piece of art and we should all be thankful for that!
Actually, since he's had health problems a little while back, I wouldn't be surprised if he was sparing himself the hectic work rhythm he followed most of his life. We were actually repeatedly warned that publication wouldn't be steady, for those that remember. Which doesn't mean that he's not working on Berserk one way or another, but most likely at a more tranquil pace. You guys have to keep in mind that we're at a major turn in Berserk. With Guts soon arriving in Elfhelm and Griffith taking over the world after a titanic fight, there is a lot of things to devise plot-wise.

Actually, I am in awe of his motivation as I feel that any normal person would be tired of a project that he started 5-10 years (?) ago. Putting myself in his shoes. I feel that I would most certainly feel some urgency to finish the manga but I am sure his need for perfection hold him back from it.

Aaz you seem to have assumed that Guts is going to reach Elfhelm soon.... I think soon is 'relative'. It could easily be another year if he wanted it to be so.

Rofl, touche' Griffith.

More like 20 years. Anyway, it's true being a mangaka is very consuming, but hey, they do what they love.
MaN said:
You're the one assuming what "soon" means in the context. ;) It has been 7 years since the journey to Elfhelm began, so considering the currently erratic publication, a year would be quite soon I think.
I was speaking with a good friend of mine about this the other day. I think the infrequent pace of the releases has actually hurt our perception of the true magnitude of the events here. Those following along episode-by-episode are seeing it through a narrow tube, whereas if you're reading it volume to volume, you can see and process the full scope - which is huge.Aazealh said:
It's no different a scenario than we've had countless times before, but now, with shit actually going down, it's affecting our perception, I think. And that sucks, but there's no real way around it for us junkies.
During the long waitings for the new berserk episodes i endure with claymore and
during the long waitings for the claymore releases i endure with naruto and bleach.
Quality allways seems to have its price. Claymore is at the moment at chapter 83
and berserk has far more progressed and so it should be more difficult to develope.
As long as i get quality in the end i can take my time.

Every time I see the "NEW POST" icon lit up in the "New Episodes" forum, I pray there's news. And yet... no. Oh fuck I'm whining again. SHIT.
Maybe we should talk about the episode or just shut up until someone steps up with news. Wait, nevermind that's boring and dumb.
I say we all send letters to Miura saying how much we want to hug him and give him a shoulder massage. And enclose a fan-art drawing of Schierke throwing hand grenades at The Godhand. Anyone have his address? I'm seriously gonna do this.

Nah, on the off chance people actually have something to say about the current episode/arc, this is the place to voice it.Cronus said:
On a somewhat related note, this will be the 14th week without an episode. 16 is the current record (in the past 6 years anyway).

On the episode. I really want to know where Ganishka gets all of his knowledge from. I mean to have a machine that can give him that kind of power. Either he had a powerful teacher or he stumbled across some info that gave him this knowledge.
