Somebody brought this topic up recently in the current episode thread, and it sounded interesting-- that there might be some legitimate similarities that might shed some light on Berserk and/or Miura as a creator. As a literature lover, issues of influence are interesting to me. So I searched "Guin Saga" on the site, and came up with a few threads, but nobody ever gave any real answers--
What sort of similarities _are_ there between Berserk and the whole Guin Saga? Is there any real substance to be found in comparing them? Does Miura make interesting changes to the Guin Saga plot line-- i.e. he took the Guin Saga template and altered it in some interesting ways.... or, what is very similar between the two, and what might that say about Berserk and where it's headed, etc. etc.
I'm basically only really curious how it relates to Berserk and Miura's creation of Berserk. Does anyone have any insight into this, who has read some/ alot of the Guin Saga?
Thanks.
