Another random observation about the world of berserk. It's set in a fantasy world to be sure, yet the populace that makes the majority of it up (with small exception) seems to behave as if it isn't. By this I mean that they seem incredulous whenever they do stumble upon the supernatural such as Apostles, trolls, elves, or ghosts. It's kind of a hidden world, until fantasia occurs. There are some small exceptions with Puck, but for the most part, people react as if this stuff was just out of a fairy tale, such as Casca when Judeau gives her elf dust.
Strangely though, giant size humans seem to be the norm. In some cases this just may be an exaggerated art style, such as the cases of Zondark, Bazuso, and Samson. But when the New Band of the Hawk show up, Grunbeld and his squad are clearly over 12 feet tall, and the small flashback for him implies that this was the case even before he gained apostlehood. Maybe I'm just stating the obvious, but does that not seem a little strange? I can get that the "demon soldiers" led by Zodd, Locus, and Rakshas seem weird and somewhat beastly, but I always figured the humans they're liberating just thought they were a group of odd barbarians. 12 foot giants that beat down War elephants is another thing.
So I guess in the world of Berserk, giant people are a rare but known thing? Any other exceptions that jump to mind.
