bmtrocks said:Not saying there are some copyrights in question, but tbh I think it would be foolish to say that there isn't any Lovecraftian influence in Berserk. It's definitely there amongst a multitude of other influences, so something like this isn't too surprising and I think a good portion of people probably caught it already.
deamonsonfire said:Theres def. some influence, not a lot (minus now), I def have gotten a lovecraft-esq vibe from berserk before.
Aazealh said:Such as what? A "vibe" isn't much.
Aazealh said:Actually I'd say there's little to no Lovecraftian influence in Berserk....
Aazealh said:...save for the clear homage present throughout the events that are currently taking place.
Señor Caudillo said:There are at least two major themes that I have noted Lovecraft's fiction and the Berserk universe sharing in common. One, is the very concept of sheer insignificance and feebleness of the human race (as well as the human life itself having little to no worth) in the face of greater cosmic entities or events.

Señor Caudillo said:And another theme would be the exploration of fate and causality, and how some humans try to change, defy or escape the the certain predestined paths in life that had been imposed upon them by supernatural forces beyond mortals' control.
Señor Caudillo said:After reading through Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu" and the past 10 Berserk episodes, one can easily notice the somewhat similar manner in which both Sea God and Cthulhu are presented and depicted by their respective authors. Both of them are at first introduced in their respective stories as statues that are worshiped as idols by a cult. Then, both Miura and Lovecraft take their time showing the reader the clues that hint at and reveal each of their respective sea dwelling entities' horrible power, and buildup the suspense.
