how long...

trapped_soul · October 24, 2001

What do you think for how long the manga series is gonna take?
up to 30 volumes? 50? more?
when is it gonna be finished?
Did Miura say something about his plans?

???

Walter · October 24, 2001

My guess is around volume 30 or even less. Millennium Falcon already has a definite feeling of finality to it.

Olivier_Hague · October 24, 2001

My guess is around volume 30 or even less.

I doubt it will be less... Miura now has several new characters to develop. ^^;
I'd say around 35? ?_?

Majin_Gatsu · October 24, 2001

I thought I heard somebody say (a few months back, maybe more) that Miura has at least 2 more years of material for Berserk. I realize that that period has shortened. How many volumes come out per year?

Walter · October 24, 2001

That whole 'at least 2 years of material' thing was me, and it was pure speculation, as what we are doing here is also speculation.

One volume roughly every 8 months.

Narumi · October 24, 2001

hmm...

2 chapters a month.
makes 24 chapters a year
and 7 chapters usually per volume.
which makes roughly 3 almost 4 volumes worth a year (does not count how often they come out)

if it goes to 35 manga that's roughly 3 to 4 more years of work.

Assuming my math is right and I'm horrible at math

Olivier_Hague · October 24, 2001

2 chapters a month.

Not exactly, you're forgetting the breaks.

and 7 chapters usually per volume.

There are 11 episodes per volume, usually.

trapped_soul · October 25, 2001

does miura himself know the outgoing of the "epos", or is he still switching between different possibilities?

I mean, do you think he roughly knew what berserk was gonna be like in the ending, when he started back then in 1990 (or earlier)?

Narumi · October 25, 2001

Not exactly, you're forgetting the breaks.

About how many breaks does he take a year?

and 11, er...see...this is why I'm still a newbie. :-[

Walter · October 25, 2001

About how many breaks does he take a year?

The basic formula is :

2 Chapters + ultra climax = 2 month break

as well as

5 chapters of nothing + 1 chapter of character development = 1 month break.

Narumi · October 25, 2001

So we're due for a break after 190 or 191...great...

Olivier_Hague · October 25, 2001

So we're due for a break after 190 or 191...great...

Well, I told you that there would be probably be a break between episodes 191 and 192, last month...

paradiselost · October 25, 2001

...well, in my opinion Berserk 'll belong much more than volume number 30 or 35, as someone of you wrote before...

...actually there are too many characters to develop, and the Millennium Falcon can't be the last part of the story...

...really, there is all the elves part to be developed, so that, in my opinion we'll arrive at least to number 50 about...maybe more...

...we'll see...

;)

Cronus · October 25, 2001

Hey Walter, is the Undead Man song still up in the me section? ;D I've a feelin' it's relevant for the above post.

Walter · October 26, 2001

its uploaded into it, but I dont have it HREF'd anywhere but here:
http://www.skullknight.net/me/susumu/HIRASAWA SUSUMU - THE MAN WITHOUT DEATH.mp3

(paradise lost's theme song)

PS: as long as he insists on believing that hes actually wanted around here, I will continue to taunt.

Wereallmad · October 27, 2001

forget undead man, bring back the Nin-69-JA headband.

Walter · October 27, 2001

I cant find that image anywhere...

Narumi · October 27, 2001

Yes, I had just joined when you were saying that...I was commenting as in "Ahh that where that came from." not "Oh look at me, I figured it out." My apologies if you think I meant the later.

puella · November 15, 2001

Will i be able to survive till meet the the last volume? sigh~
Assuming 10 years left, some of you get to work hard as a rookie.
Me?
I myself might go along with arthritis pills or warm blanket. :-/

Kenoh-Sama · November 16, 2001

He's said at the most within the next 5 years. He already has another series on the board. He's really excited about his new project. What it is I don't know ???

Gorilla_Guts · November 18, 2001

Yeah, Miura brings in new characters for Gatts to kill. I`m going with Walter on this one. Besides most of us will be dead before the last volume comes out anyway.

trapped_soul · November 19, 2001

oh come on, why so pessimistic? :)
