Hahaha, it's true, but for me at least it was one of those things where once it was raised to my attention I couldn't actually put it to rest without actually... putting it to rest (in my own mind at least). I'm also one of those kooky types that actually enjoys metaphysical contemplation, so if...
That doesn't contradict what I said, my phrasing was vague, I said "beyond that required to dismiss it as being insignificant", which may be a lot of thought or it may be little :P Again, I was vague, I meant dismiss in more of a 'felt' way, as in that it actually forms ones perspective rather...

I'd find it hard to articulate the vast appeal Berserk holds for me. I was first exposed to it when I was about seventeen or so, and it has so intensely changed the way I view the world and my life since that time. Literally, it's one of the cornerstones in my inner-world. I very consistently...
