MaN said:This is where I disagree thought CnC but part of the reason is due to what GNM mentioned. Character development has been not at its apex because he carrying a lot of characters along so he has to make sure that he gives time to everyone without forgetting about anyone. This causes the character development to be uneven and fragmented. There is good and bad to having a complex plot with a plethora of characters
Explain what is uneven and fragmented? Are you just not reading it? We just had major revelations by Guts, Farnese, and Schierke in the past 2 episodes. There was nothing uneven or fragmented about it. Was it just too much material for you? 3 characters?
Do you realize in the past 10 years of reading there has been someone rehashing the same damn argument as you? Somebody decides to read the entire series then starts complaining about pacing when it becomes obvious that a new volume isn't released every week. They also slam Miura for introducing Magic, Trolls, the berserk armor, not being at Elfhelm in the next episode, and now Pirates all along the way (claiming its not true to the "original" story). The argument holds about as much weight as it did then. I suggest you drop it and just enjoy the ride.
