Well, that's as maybe, but I put that down to incompetence rather than them choosing not to honour Miura's legacy.
Meh. The interview was just a puff piece to promote the continuation, which is why Mori may have spoken in overly flattering terms. I don't see a problem with Kurosaki re-tweeting the interview, when he's the project lead. It's not as if it's exclusively about him. Also, didn't Mori state in that same interview that Miura was considered the greatest artist in Japan and the world? It doesn't get more superlative than that.
A thing is to be incompetent, another one is to state that you are continuing Miura story in order to honor his memory, promising to only write about what he told you and instead create a complete fan fiction going against everything that Miura had established until that point.... if this isn't disrespect I don't know what it is.
I mean if it were that rushed it might be even more bizarre to witness at this point. Given the track record the continuation has set so far. It would really make me question who is actually planning out the rest of the story. Unless someone on the team decides to stop making stuff up from point A to point B and rush to the end. Where maybe we can get some clarity on what Miura had in mind for a last confrontation at one point in his mind. But I don’t see that happening.
Into a dumpster fire.
Not trying to defend the continuation by any means (I hate it), but Rakshas is portrayed as being confused in that situation I think?
I would much prefer just to keep him silent the entire time, just to save whatever is left of his character.
This is very similar to what happened to Star Wars, as Luke appeared at the end of the first sequel movie, and then they destroyed his character and legacy
I have this thought for some time.
Interesting comparison! I agree in that both characters become a strange shadow of themself: particularly in how Luke straight up lost interest in his previous pursuits and chose to simply live as a hermit waiting around until his eventual death. He, Leia and Han never even shared the screen together. It was so underwhelming when used as the conclusion to all their adventures: Luke apparates, slumps over on a rock in another galaxy, and that is it.
I mean, not reading the new episodes would probably work for you two aswell. Nobody is forcing you to read them. I personally do see where most of you are comming from and I agree that they messed up a lot but I am still interested in reading the episodes and wanna see where its going to end. We do know that Mori should have a general idea on how Berserk should end so I am still interested in seeing that.
That's contradicting, but yes: if you're a more casual reader than you won't really be bothered by all of this. I'm not sure though that one can speak from "love" then.
Seems simple, but it really isn't if you love something. But I agree: the continuation team is paving a really big road towards that - gotta give them that!
What is your point?
Well, this would have gone much more smoothly for me if they’d started off by calling it “Amazon Prime Video Presents Brands of Power: Chapter 1” instead of “Berserk Episode 365.”
I think the story should be coherent, and that things that happen on the page should make sense and have a grounded explanation. That's a pretty low bar I'm setting, but they've fumbled it in every episode.
Problem is they are just delivering an incoherent story with familiar faces at this point.
