On the other hand, Manifico's face cracked me up.

Mangetsu said:Guys the cover of the new upcoming Guidebook has been released I absolutely love it!
Thank you very much, sir!Aazealh said:Young Animal always comes out on Friday (specifically, the second and fourth Friday of the month). So no, it's not out yet, it will be on September 23.

A shame there isn't a Digital Edition, since I can't buy the fisical one [the customs in Italy is Hell]Walter said:The Berserk Official Guidebook is not a Young Animal pack-in, which is what I assumed.

Walter said:Personally, I'm hoping for something more. But we just don't know yet.
Let's hope soAazealh said:There might be one, actually. They just don't list the digital editions until they're released.
Aazealh said:I don't think these pictures show it to be an actual place. The girls are just laying down on some pads while the ritual takes place, but it's Danan who makes it all happen. Maybe that specific place in the tree is a key component to the ritual, but if so it hasn't been revealed yet.
Guts felt like the natural choice given their history together, but in a way it's more interesting to have other people do it. They will be exposed to Casca's inner mind, see new things about her and Guts' past (which may eventually help Farnese to move on), and it could lay the foundation for them forging a stronger bond afterwards...
Another way to look at it is that Guts might be too close to Casca's trauma for him to be involved. He already has trouble with his own feelings. Having more neutral third parties take care of it could be for the best in that regard. Not to mention that given the nature of Casca's trauma (and her current adverse reaction to men in general), sending females inside her mind seems like the more sensitive approach. Lastly, from a storytelling perspective, Guts not getting to see Casca's inner mind first hand is probably more compelling for future developments.
What will they find there? How will they interpret it? How will they get her to "come back"? How will she feel towards Guts afterwards? It's all going to be huge.

Rupert Sinclair said:Is that last image a preview of something we are going to see in the Corridor of Dreams?! Looks like it could be our first glimpse into Casca's mind.
Aazealh said:Looks like a sketch from this episode, yes. What a tease!
Squiddot said:Wow this guidebook is looking like the stuff of dreams! Such a deep look into Miura's process and ideation as well as an actual print compilation for all those miscellaneous paintings that have just been floating around the net until now.
Squiddot said:I wonder if we'll get an english release down the line, though i'm not sure i'll be able to hold off buying until then.
Squiddot said:From what little we have, it's giving me vibes of an abandoned battlefield.
Squiddot said:Way eerier and quieter than what I was expecting. It's nothing like Guts' explosive eclipse flashbacks, but it captures another perspective of the eclipse that better suits Casca really well.

On page 9 of the preview for the guide book, ain't that a graphic tablet we see on the desk in front of the computer screen?
