The duty to support Miura?

I go from being lightly enthusiastic about berserk-lite, to hating it, not only on an episode basis, but almost from page to page.

Well, the full episode doesn't really change my view after seeing that leaked page, it was obvious what was gonna happen. The art is still pretty good considering, as for the rest, I think Berserk crossed the Rubicon, This is Mori writing what he remembers and my man is clearly not filling in...

The one leaked image that matters lol wtf

We'll never know, but I don't think they're more action packed, it just feels there's a lot more action to cover the lack of words. But I actually prefer they lean into their strengths. I do want them to move fast (these episodes were shorter), tell the story they know, and don't try to fill in...

The dialogue is... ok, sparse, to be nice about it. I have a sense they're going to move pretty fast, which is desirable, considering they only know the broad strokes of the story. This feels like an abridged action packed Berserk-lite. Just personal preference. I tend to lean towards the older...

I agree, this is indeed far better than I would've imagine. Even though it's clearly a downgrade, it's probably the best imitation possible of Miura's art style. I'd go as far as to say I prefer Griffith's face (and Casca's to a lesser degree) better than Miura's "moe" change in later volumes.

This is how I feel about games for the past 15 years. I'm actually surprised old farts like me still spend so much time playing games. If you're young I get it's all novel, but for me I can't pick up these wildly praised masterpieces without feeling I've played them before, and it all becomes...

I really enjoyed the previous seasons, but after watching the first episode of the third season, I was so underwhelmed that I haven't picked it up since.

This will not be good, and that's ok because everyone knows it's not Miura, but there's absolutely no reason to be optimistic about this project. In a similar genre, a recent example of that was the Game of Thrones tv show. As some of you know, it was developed by fans of the books, who worked...

Also RIP Vangelis

Aw, I was expecting the real ones, but it's programmed drums instead. They sound "too" good.

I'll never get the hate for Dark Souls II, especially if you love Elden Ring, which is it's spiritual successor in many ways. It's my personal favourite of the trilogy. Sekiro, which was the hardest for me, is the epitome, and logical conclusion, of souls combat. Never played Bloodborne, but I'm...
