    Favorite Quote?

    "Before I could decide if I liked it or not, I hit the iron in front of me. After that... I was so busy trying to improve and craft better stuff... that one day I woke up an old man." -Godo When I read this quote for the first time, more than a decade ago, I didn't pay much attention to it. But...

    Berserk manga released in Argentina

    Hi Talo, nice to meet you! I started buying Dark Horse's version through bookdepository (free shipping, no customs shenanigans, door-to-door delivery). I got volumes 1-14 this way and switched to the local edition as soon as it released. As I said in the OP, DH's paper and ink are better, and...

    Berserk manga sales summary

    I have contacted Panini's Manga division in Argentina about their Berserk's sales numbers so far. Will let you know if they reply.

    Hakusensha is opening a Berserk Café

    Some items of the menu seem very distasteful to me (no pun intended). Like the one representing Griffith standing on top of a pile of corpses. I understand it's supposed to be very tongue-in-cheek, and clearly I'm not the target audience, but it just doesn't feel right. Asides from that, the...

    What are you listening to? (general music thread)

    I'm listening to "Guts" from Hirasawa Susumu and it's freaking hard not to tear up.

    Berserk manga released in Argentina

    Yup, but this time they actually listened! Today I went and bought the reprints, and sure enough they fixed several mistranslations in volumes 1 and 3. One fix that I was particularly interested about is in volume 3, where they mistranslated "Causality" as "Chance/Coincidence". You see, in...

    Berserk manga released in Argentina

    Panini announced they will be reprinting the first volumes of Berserk here in Argentina. I got in touch with them and asked if these reprints would feature fixes to the mistranslations we discussed previously in this thread. After some back and forth chatting with their CM, I was happy to get...

    Official Slam Dunk thread

    So, many years ago (around 2011, simpler times) I took the time to go through every single page of the Shohoku vs Sannoh match and record the Boxscore. This is what I came up with: A few things to note: I only recorded what's actually in the manga. Some possessions are not shown due to some...

    Thoughts on Symbolism Throughout the Conviction Arc

    Yeah, "escapism" was a rather poor choice of words. Glad you got what I meant, though.

    Thoughts on Symbolism Throughout the Conviction Arc

    Even though I don't agree with some leaps to conclusions or comparisons you made (ie. what the behelits are, that most of humanity has made a sacrifice, etc.), I like how you articulated that the antagonists of the story have chosen a form of escapism, a way of not dealing head on with their own...

    I'm already smiling to myself at the thought of SK's hypothetical interactions with Magnifico and Puck :magni:
