12 pages? Maybe if more people pledge... I mean this stuff isn't trivial.ApostleBob said:Is this something that will be added to the pile for the patreon project? A recent and extensive interview would be fantastic.

True. It wouldn't make that much sense either, since it's explicitly about her body & state of mind rather than additionally symbolizing anything for Guts, which we already seem to get through the dog.Aazealh said:I don't know about all that. Feels like a stretch to me. The portions that are most damaged are the head, chest and arm. I also don't think it's meant to imply something regarding Guts.

That's really what keeps sticking in my mind in terms of the "what-ifs" of Casca's return. How much will she remember? Gobs and I were throwing ideas around, and I think we agree that the story could be a lot more interesting if she remembers more. That way, she'd be able to hit the ground running in terms of further exploring relationships with Farnese, Schierke and the others. Her waking up and going "who are you all?Walter said:What's most interesting to me about this scene is that if the wounded dog represents Guts -- dragging the broken doll of Casca behind him, it implies that a portion of Casca is aware of what's been happening since the Eclipse. She's not completely in the dark. Of course, this could be how her subconscious mind has processed the events, and not how the "true" Casca, once she has been restored, will remember things. So many possibilities.
Adding to all the excitement is the fact that we're exempt from watching that dang anime for another few months. I really needed the break.BiQ-- said:Also, that last page might or might not be my phone lockscreen background at least until the next ep comes out. And order for that guidebook has now been placed. Whew. I haven't been *this* hyped for Berserk for a long time.
No one's asking for it right away. But I'd personally rather see stuff like this translated than Miura's random episode comments from the 90s. I feel like there would be more value added to the community from a recent in depth interview during one of the most pivotal moments in the series.Aazealh said:12 pages?

I don't know about that. Like I've argued in the past, her starting fresh would offer a lot of possibilities. It would completely disrupt the group dynamics and allow for refresh relationships to be created. I think it'd be very exciting personally, and not depressing at all. That's not to say her remembering things wouldn't be interesting as well though ("thanks for wiping my ass all these years, I really appreciate it"). Either way, I'm sure Miura has got some great things in store for us!Grail said:That's really what keeps sticking in my mind in terms of the "what-ifs" of Casca's return. How much will she remember?

Right away or not isn't the point. 12 pages simply is a lot of content, like I said. And the Patreon is first and foremost about translating the episodes. Doing Miura's old comments is only a bonus, and if you must know, the monthly pledge is $30 short of meeting it at the moment, and has been for months. So puella's doing it even though she technically shouldn't. Finally, other donators actually care a lot about those comments. In any case, we'll probably work on translating this interview eventually, when puella has the time for it. But don't go thinking it's anything but a huge, underappreciated effort for the sake of the community.ApostleBob said:No one's asking for it right away.

One sentence chunks, one per week? It's just a bad comparison no matter how you look at it.ApostleBob said:I do understand that it's a completely different amount to translate, but I'm sure it can be broken into chunks.
Personally, I would be perfectly happy with just a broad summary of the main points or anything that might be interesting in there and that would be enough.Aazealh said:In any case, we'll probably work on translating this interview eventually, when puella has the time for it.

It's always appreciated. Fans can get reliable content here that they can't anywhere else. I donate to support the continuation of that, and out of respect to previous efforts that were done just out of pure fan dedication.Aazealh said:In any case, we'll probably work on translating this interview eventually, when puella has the time for it.

I too would also be satisfied with a summary of the content of this, outlining anything that we don't already know about Miura's process, and thoughts about the series and character's progression. It's always a fascinating insight, and often clears up misconceptions.Rupert Sinclair said:Personally, I would be perfectly happy with just a broad summary of the main points or anything that might be interesting in there and that would be enough.
I think there is one new image in here that shows the group back at the wizard village drinking tea. Probably not a bad call as the mods said, because it allows them to skip around in the dream, and allows Guts to fill in the rest of the group potentially about the band of the Hawk and the Eclipse. Frankly I find it impressive that Miura has made it feel natural up to this point that his companions haven't pressed him on Casca and her condition and why dark forces are attracted to him. I would think someone as crass as Isidro and as cautious as Serpico would bring it up since they're on a quest for it and all.Aazealh said:Thanks Uriel, but you really should read previous contributions before posting.

As a reminder to all members, Young Animal #19 is now available for purchase on hakusensha-e.net. No Guidebook though.
Yeah they're eating and drinking with the help of Magnifico and a few brownies. And while we could see it in the previous images, we can see it a little more clearly with Uriel's pics. Poor Magnifico can't bear the thought of serving peopleApostleBob said:I think there is one new image in here that shows the group back at the wizard village drinking tea.
No, it had already been shown and commented on as well.ApostleBob said:I think there is one new image in here that shows the group back at the wizard village drinking tea.
I love the idea of her taking the leadership role. We know she's not going to up stage Guts in combat, but she has a level head, strong sense of discipline, tutored under Griffith as far as strategy goes, and was one heck of a fighter. Of course it will be a little bit before it could even be possible to jump into that role. There must be some sense of recovery after being mentally absent for so long.Walter said:Yeah they're eating and drinking with the help of Magnifico and a few brownies.

I expect it'll be like Aaz said, him reflecting about his past with Casca -- how her being back might change things.
Casca talked to Guts after the Eclipse? When was this?bhaal said:Just a little comment:
We have 1 instance where Casca, after the eclipse, revert to sane for a moment, and tell Guts she was having a very bad dream, (you can discus that was canon or not, but at least the scene was write by Miura himself) and now we have this and the preview for 348.

Ah, never played it. Interesting.RaffoBaffo said:The Videogame on Dreamcast.
Here's the scene if you're interested. As well as the rest of the game's story. Word of warning: the English translation of the game...left a lot to be desired.DANGERDOOOOM said:Ah, never played it. Interesting.
Indeed, Miura managed to make this consistent even though 17 years elapsed between the two instances. But we all already knew that he's the greatest storyteller to ever live, so this changes nothing.bhaal said:Just a little comment:
