It's still kinda extreme to suggest that this continuation is "nothing like what" Miura would have done. It's a given that this will have significant differences from what Miura would have done, but to argue that that there can be no claim of similarity I think unfairly maligns the...
Very well. At the very least I hope I conveyed why I (and potentially others) don’t necessarily feel that if it does turn out that Sonia wasn’t involved with how Zodd was able to traverse the branches of the World Tree, how that isn’t damning evidence (from my own perspective at least) that Mori...
No, it doesn’t sound particularly anomalous to me (also I personally wouldn’t call a new plot development/reveal/subversion of a status quo a “contradiction”, but that’s an argument over schematics that distracts from the greater point), especially since the the facts have only been...
Well I do happen to be neuroatypical, so I do sincerely thank you for further explaining what you mean/meant.
And yeah, I agree as a rule of thumb constantly establishing a status quo and then almost immediately subverting it all the time generally doesn’t make for good storytelling.
So I...
But if it’s simply a new development to reveal something new about the plot/lore/a character/etc. that doesn’t necessarily make it a contradiction/mistake? A story having characters state something as fact and then later having something in the story subvert/adding a wrinkle to what the...
I mean that’s essentially one of major inherent cruxes of the issue of Mori and Studio Gaga doing a manga continuation going forwards. Every single reader will have their own set of parameters of what they think is plausible for what Miura may have planned (plot-wise) and what they think is...
Sure, but it is also entirely possible that there may be some new plot-point/device introduced in the future episodes that may explain how Zodd navigated the World Tree's branches (if Sonia does end up not being present and/or right behind Zodd) to arrive on Skellig.
If it does turn out to be a...
No, that's not what I meant by "long-time readers can just barely tell it's not Miura himself", I meant that in that I do think most people (at least those who have read Berserk) can and will be able to tell the difference (since our eyes are primed to notice any differences) when reading with a...
By that do you mean you think most long-time readers can easily tell it's not Miura? Or do you mean you don't think the majority of long-time readers would be able to tell the difference?
Also it seems like the digitally colored art of Guts tends to give him a slightly more warmer tanned skin-tone than how Guts was colored with traditional art tools/mediums?
Good discussion, basically covered similar thoughts and concerns I also had about how the series will work going forwards. It will be interesting to see how much less focus/exploration the supporting cast characters will have and which ones will be the least/most affected by it. (like I am...
