"Let me start off by saying I think the vast majority of Berserk emoticons are both interesting, useful and "very animated." They resemble the real characters.
For me, two glaring exceptions to this are Farnese and Serpico, whose emoticons have no consistency and are woefully out of place as members of SKnet's prestigious emoticon collection.
Before emoticons were introduced to the board in 2006, Farnese was a rough-draft, and was cut from the final lineup, never to see the light of day. The idea for a Farnese emoticon was well-placed, but just look at the dramatic shift in her look from how she REALLY looks. It's just so dramatic and unexpected.
Huh? How does this make any sense? Farnese is just suddenly some Quaker-looking emo bitch? Without any rhyme or reason?
Also, what's her purpose in the lineup? Jodo's icon serves just as much purpose. Besides tagging along and possibly adding a female counterpart to a "boo hoo" emotion, what's the point? So I ask you, what does Farnese offer again?
I also have a similar problem with Serpico's emoticon.
You're trying to make me believe that someone as intelligent and skillful as Serpico would have a stupid shit-eating cheesy grin on his face? Totally unbelievable. I really don't see that as Serpico, and I'm appalled the creator saw fit to encapsulate his character in this emoticon.
ANother thing, what purpose does he serve? He's not as good a "grin" emoticon as Guts. So whats the point? I'd honestly rather see him replaced with someone else for the emoticon lineup."
