Personally, I don't know how to feel about them continuing. I just got into the manga, but the fact that it is his close friend working on it is somewhat reassuring at the same time or not. The reason I say it's somewhat reinsuring is that he knows what the authors direction was, but since someone different is working on it, the art style is bound to change because each artist style is different even if they try to be the same.
@@cloudthekell It could be, I'll admit I'm not knowledgeable enough about Beserk to say one way or another, but there are relatively few stories that I have read that I believe would be better without a conclusion. Generally unless the ending is a complete abomination or betrayal to the series itself, ala GoT Season 8, I would always prefer one.
@@scottgimple8107 I agree, i would rather have a committed team work on berserk faithfully than no ending but also I wouldn’t be upset if there wasn’t an ending
Honestly, I consider everything past chapter 364 to be a tribute to Miura and a gift to the fans. It's too much to expect the same art quality, panel layout, dialogue and story detail that Miura would have given us. As far as we know Kouji Mori is not going to fill in the blanks so we can expect a faster paced story and some character arcs to be skimmed down or left out.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 I totally agree. The way Griffith just swoops in and blows everything up just doesn't really make any sense. If he could do that, then why even feel the need to assemble his demonic army? Why not just outright nuke the Mansion of the Spirit Tree instead of sending his minions to burn it down? Why not vaporize the Thunder God? Why feel the need to hire an assassin in an attempt to take out Rickert? Griffith is about manipulating people. When he has complete god powers, it just doesn't work nearly as well. Also, Mori's characterization of Guts sucks. The dude isn't only his sword. He uses a sword because it's the best tool in most situations, but he's capable without it as well. I don't think Mori remembers his battles against Serpico, or how he uses bombs, knives, a hand canon, and more.
Knowing that some percentage of the rest of the story is based off of Miura’s notes makes me support the team still until the very end. I want Berserk to be a complete story
Tbh I think the new chapters and who we have making them are the best possible outcome we could ever get, second only to Miura still being here with us. It probably won't be perfect, but it would mostly be how he envisioned the ending of this amazing series with his best friend who knows the ending and all. I totally get why people are upset or unsatisfied with the new chapters and even I myself am very VERY skeptical how faithful it will turn out, but I think we all should wait until the series closes to either say the continuation was or was not faithful to the series overall. As I already said, but whatever we get from Mori and everyone else working on Berserk will probably be the best we can get. Even if the series doesn't end amazingly or even flops, it'll be fine because we will always have that 70 to 80% to remember fondly. We all are strugglers so I'm sure we'll do just fine and make the best with what we get.
I think it will be faithful but we probably won't get details and character arcs for the side and supporting characters he would've included if he'd been working on it. If I had to guess it will be very faithful cliff notes. He probably did a lot of character development on the fly and it's not like they can develop all the side characters like he intended. Which is a shame because I was curious about what they'd do with some of Griffith's apostles like Irving.
I actually appreciate it as it gives us a rough draft of what Miura wanted for Berserk to end. I expect it not to be perfect in how it would feel with Miura gone and we wouldn’t get the full concept for the ending to Berserk, but to call it unfaithful or whatever else along those lines, is absolutely ludicrous. It’s the literal interpretation that Miura wanted for Berserk so going off of that we can better understand close to what Miura wanted for Berserk to end as rather than getting ridiculous fan theories. I am way more than grateful for that outcome rather than people’s own high opinion about what they wanted Berserk to end as
@@johnnyboy2537 Mori specifically stated he would only create what he can fully recollect from his talks with Miura about Berserk, not interpretation or guesswork. So this is a rough draft of the overall ending. As far as the definitive version we will never get that with Miura gone. A better version would be if they self recorded their personal talks to gain a better interpretation rather than a rough draft but I am happy nonetheless with how things are as with what we got
All the in-betweens I can forgive if they turn out jank as long as we get Mirura's intended ending to the story. To me that's the only thing that really matters, keeping his vision and themes intact.
I like the new chapters alot ofc it’s not perfect we all know that but alot of the hate i see from ppl kinda fail to remember miura was already bringing up shorter and shorter chapters and if u remember back in the start of the FOTME slan talked about how gut’s fear is as strong if not stronger than his rage and what he feared most has happened
We actually have luck that Kouji and the rest of the team are being able to continue Berserk, it's a story that last more than 30 years, imagine those who follow till now and would ended up without a conclusion? It's not my case but I'm really grateful that we'll gonna see the end of this masterpiece. I'm grateful 😌
I think something important we need to take into consideration is that this is probably what Miura would want. These are his beloved students and his best friend (whom he told his plans for the series to) who are continuing on in his memory. This is their way of honoring and mourning a man that they shared moments of grief and joy with, and picking apart their efforts at this point to me just kinda feels wrong in a way? Nothing wrong with being disappointed but we should give Mori and the team our full support.
My sentiments exactly on this sort of matter. I mean they have been nothing but respectful to Miura since his passing. I still cannot forget that they kept his death hidden publicly for 2 weeks to respect his loved ones and give them time to grieve their loss. That action alone shows where he stands amongst their intentions to his work also Mori didn’t have to do it either but he knew Miura well enough to know that Miura will want him to do it and that gave him reason enough to take on what many may claim to be an unnecessary burden but it’s a burden he faces all for his commitment to their friendship, even in death that is a high honor to behold
Exactly my thoughts and everyone else should too! I’ve been saying this for a while now, and I really dig the new chapters it’s a good direction for it to go in, I hope we get a new chapter soon I’m getting restless
Usually i'm on the "no ending is better than a bad ending" boat but not with Berserk. I was very skeptical with "New Berserk" at the start. The first five or so chapters (~365 - 369) felt very badly paced imo (still good). But 370 & 371 were so amazing that i grew to trust Mori and the team. I just want my favorite piece of fiction to have a conclusive and good ending...
Yeah 370 and 371 for me the art style really brought me back into the true berserk, its a little rushed but i feel like the art style of the previous few chapters just didnt feel right.
As long as they fix the rushed pacing and the release schedule seems more stable I'll probably end up loving it rather than just really liking the new chapters like I do now.
Here for finishing Berserk properly with the absolute respect and dignity it deserves. As for the anime, I'm of the opinion that you do a couple OVAs to start off. One for the Black Swordsman Arc (it's good idc) and Lost Children. These are two arcs that serve really important foundations for Guts as an anti-hero but would also be low cost ventures that are purely to get fans excited for a new series.
I feel like, despite the pacing of recent chapters, and no matter how anyone feels of the content of what is happening, if nothing else, we should have a general idea of how Kentaro Miura had planned on finishing his story. It seems as though thats what we have and what we are going to get. I am kinda surprised that they didn't split off the series, into something like "Berserk GX" or something like that, or maybe even a series of light novels, or a proper anime adaptation that would eventually finish the final arc(s) of the story. I appreciate what Studio Gaga and Koji Mouri are doing though, I know they are probably trying their best and working their hardest attempting to complete Miura's masterpiece. I will always love Berserk! I can't wait to see what the future holds!
I really like these chapters man as rough as it is. Re reading beserk just before the continuation and so much if paying off; Ganesikha said he couldn’t even touch a single hair on Grifith ; guts cut a hair off . Slan in fotme opening said how guts fear is as great if not greater than his rage and we see that being the case in these last few chapters. It’s rough not doubting it but the sprit of berserk is still there
@@Commandosoap777 Agreed. I feel as if some people don't want to admit that there are subtle nuances in the scenes in the latest chapters. Especially with Guts' own rage being able to "repress" the Beast of Darkness/Berserker Armor, which I feel as if it will become a huge moment later on. I mean, there were other times where Guts submitted to the armor/taken over by the armor in less desperate/fury-filled scenarios so to see him "control" the Armor like that is incredibly interesting
Berserk is Miura’s magnum opus and thus, his legacy. If Gaga and Mori truly know what Miura’s intentions were for his story then I believe Berserk should see it’s ending through
Honestly I’m just so happy that they decided to honor their friend and continue his masterpiece of a story. The chapters they relased was absolutely phenomenal imo. I’m happy for the future of Berserk. Also I get the feeling Griffith is gonna remove the curse mark from both casca and guts considering he’s basically as god.
Really great video, enjoyed that question at the end. Not really sure which is better. If the continuation of the story is done out of love for the series, I fully respect that, however if it is done as a cash grab then it's sad to think that is how they would treat Miyura's legacy. Nevertheless, it's important to separate the current continuation from Miyura's original work, as we are unable to tell how much of the current Berserk is what Miyura had planned to write. Hope the series will be delivered to a great ending in caring hands.
After you mentioned other unfinished or haphazardly finished works, i am glad that after Miura's passing finishing of Berserk is in best hands possible; dedicated team of his assistants headed by his long time assistant, co-writer and personal friend Mori who knows the story and who has been engaged in story for a long time.
Can u tell me which background music u used great video as always kinda rips my heart a bit since i started berserk after watching one of ur videos in early 2020 and was so attached to it but couldn't get the feeling again after miuras death
What gives me hope is that I believe Miura layed out how the story ends to Mori before his passing. That plus seeing how the new illustration has improved from their first to the most recent pages is nice to see and I think the best we can hope for now.
@@John-nb6ep it is. I believe you'll find the quote in a post I believe from Young Animal or from the Berserk team itself when they announced they would continue writing Berserk
I think theres a chance that they could do the wrap up of this manga justice, but honestly I'm not quite so sure how it should end. Hoping Miura had drafts detailed enough and all the way to the end.
Essentially getting no ending is just like getting blueballed especially after following the series for so long. At least if the ending is bad, you can be content with the fact that it’s over.
That’s just copium at that point. Mōri had been his friend for 40 years, he’s been there since the inception and influenced the eclipse. He knows very well how the story is proceeding and even more so the endgame itself. You’re getting it as Miura envisioned, maybe not as extremely detailed with the artwork but the panels still look great. Don’t blame any bad ending on Mōri himself, he’s just forwarding what Miura told him. And since he knows Miura in and out he’ll pick the most fitting panels. This is as good as it gets!
What you have just written down makes no sense, you prefer a story having no ending so the story can’t come to a conclusion which I believe is stupid, but how can a story be complete if it doesn’t get an ending?
I think since Kentucky Mormon said void is the real villain it will end with someway somehow Griffith and guts trying to take down void,maybe Griffith will say "nigga if you don't help me no Casca" or something
I finished the Manga 2 Minutes ago. What i can say is that i just want to see guts tore these guys apart and idc who draws the manga. What a rolercoaster of emotions.
Chapter 364 actually makes for a great end to the series IMO. Like GoT, Berserk is so big, complex and long-running that there will never be a fight scene epic enough to top it off. It’s almost poetic to me that everybody who reaches the end be able to head-cannon their own resolution based on what their take on the themes and conflicts has been. Spoilers below for anyone not up to 364... Guts/ Griffith- will they fight? Does Guts even want to anymore? Would Griffith commend Guts as a true friend, having pursued his dream of restoring Casca all the way to Elfhelm? Would they discuss the ethics of Griffith’s empire and it’s potential to create a world far better than the war torn, oppressive one that came before, even at the cost of the OG band of the Hawk? Would they come to peace, disagree, or settle things with a duel? Casca- how will she go about rebuilding her life and processing her trauma? She could become a pawn in Griffith’s game but she’s also finally ready to be a character again. The rest of the party- would they settle in Elfhelm? Become some sort of magical missionaries or even mercenaries given the clear value the witches see in their outside experience, and the need of magical monster hunting all over the world? Will Serpico finally get a life/ personality outside Farnese? Is Isidro going to get Jon Snowed by 20 annoyed witches? Rickert- will the best lad ever catch a break? Silat and co.- will they decide where they fit in the story? Skull Knight- is kind of wrapped up what with the memories and the grave tbh, other than explicit confirmation of who he was which is basically either Gaiseric or irrelevant so matters very little. Will he ever conclusively kill/ die to Zodd? Presumably he will continue his quest to hunt... The Godhand- Will that conflict ever end? CAN it even? More relevant for story purposes, will they intervene in Griffith’s second empire, given the OG Godhand emerged specifically because of Gaiseric’s empire? How would that work if Griffith is Griffith but also Femto? Would Griffith overthrow the rest to protect his dream? How would that affect... Fantasia- is this going to last? Can humans and apostles work together to build a world? Is there maybe a key point in there that ‘do what thou will’ could totally include willingly making an integrated and mutually beneficial society? Can the world be made safe from fantasy monsters or will it be reverted to an original reality/ astral realm type arrangement by whatever goes down with the Godhand? The Dragonslayer- now that there’s at least one honest to goodness dragon on the loose, will it ever actually slay one? I could see fifteen different fans having fifteen different versions of how they think it would go, or should go, and that’s kind of beautiful to me. Without ‘word of God’ authority from Miura, some people will inevitably be dissatisfied with whatever comes after him, especially if it is underwhelming, rushed, inconsistent or fails to hold up key plot points or themes. I doubt I’ll be able to resist reading onwards but for my own personal satisfaction it will likely end up like Star Wars outside the original trilogy, Evangelion outside the original series or Silent Hill outside 1-4; interesting, valuable, worthwhile, entertaining, but not, to me, hard canon. Even if it’s objectively canon, the great thing about art is that it affects us and we’re all entitled to experience and rationalise that in our own authentic way, and Berserk is undoubtedly art and Miura an artist in every sense of the word.
I don’t think that makes it perfect at all. After everything that has happened I would like a confirmed happy ending, not some ambiguous “Will it be happy or won’t it” ending. Maybe that sounds like a demand but this story has made me feel emotions I didn’t think manga would be able to make me feel.
Griffith's whole arc is that of a madman with a god complex. Honestly, I expect him to end up like Ganishka: reaching for the stars, and losing everything. After all, Ganishka tried to go against the Godhand, too. And we all know how that went for him. Griffith is wrong to think he's unique, or special. He's so consumed with ambition he's going to destroy himself in the process. And when that happens, Guts will be there to destroy what's left of his former comrade. Of course, there were other fifth members before Femto. Hell, the Godhand must've met hundreds of other "chosen ones" before. Eventually, Griffith will learn his place the hard way. And it'll be spectacular.
i will say, im not to 364, but from what ive seen, the artists picking up berserk are doing a damn good job. as long as they keep the story beats not shitty, they could really finish with something incredible.
I think you can make a near perfect 90 minute movie or a near perfect 300 page novel. But with longer lengths it makes sense to cognitively split art into pieces and rate them separately. I am fine with a creator who can create some work at a 9/10 and others of much lesser quality. I think expecting constant 9/10 leads to madness and hatred and ultimately less good art (GRRM, Rothfuss, etc.).
In a series of interviews with the crew behind the memorial edition, it's confirmed that they were working on it before Miuras passing, so I don't think hakusensha had much to do with it if that makes you feel better.
@@alexenterprises1 do you think that george rr martin will die too before being able to FINISH his story ??? (because the end of the series have pass the book before george could finish it (and i didn't like at all how they took daenerys life for exemple, and the fact that they did a prequel of the series "house of the dragon" dosen't making me feel better because in my opinion it's like they're doing this to not ADMIT that they TOTALLY (in my opinion at least) messed up the story BECAUSE OF THE END (oh and for me "attack of the titan" is another perfect exemple of PREQUELS created to hide THE MESSED UP ENDINGS 👿👿👿🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮) AND believe me THESE ARE reasons why i HATE and DESPISE WRITTERS !!!!!😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💩💩💩💩
Oh! That’s “Run” from Millennium Actress. Felt so fitting I didn’t even question its placement. Also didn’t realize 4C included Guts’ trauma looming its ugly head just as he’s made love to Casca for the first time. I do really appreciate that.
I want a true anime adaptation for berserk buhh if the memorial edition is all we get then i am no one to be mad for it may be the best we get so at the end of the day I appreciate it
I think the new Berserk chapters more than ever justify why Berserk should get an anime adaptation. An honest-to-God, glorious, grade A adaptation. It could be used to show as much of the series as possible (I understand some things *might* be a bit spicy for a modern adaptation, while other things might be slightly altered to work better for an anime) while these chapters are continuing. The new chapters could be expanded upon without feeling like fluff is being added (i.e. show the Guts vs. Zodd fight with more clarity, show Elfheim sinking in all it's glory, make some random mention that Falconia's expanded now to the seas, and have built a port sometime in between when it's established and when Griffith arrives with Casca), as well as maintaining a more consistent art style (i.e. Zodd). That's my two cents on the manner. Likely won't happen (and the BS countdown is made me less reassured and more worried, though I'm still cautiously optimistic) but a man can dream
This is going to anger the fans, but the earlier manga feels like earlier GoT seasons. The later volumes feel like a different manga altogether, with a lot of superpowers and plot armor for the plucky comrades. There was a type of mortality in the early arcs, with Guts losing his eye, arm, comrades, Casca losing her sanity, etc. In the later volumes, Guts is nigh invincible, magic protects everyone, and even sanity can be restored. Even the death of an ancillary character is alive in dreams and such to help guide with her magic. It's getting to be that I just really thumb through the action in later pages, because I just know there are no stakes: no one's going to be harmed, magic will magic them all into victory.
Yeah that countdown was so dissapointing but tbh I was expecting it to be that based on past announcements but best believe well get a new anime one day I'm sure of it
I’m shocked that Miura video is getting put on the blu ray. Glad I’ll at least see a form of that online at some point
Год назад
I'm worried about the quality of the artwork, specially certain faces. I hope things will get better, I'd rather have something than nothing- though I'm sure it won't be disservice to Miura San legacy, you can tell his very revered and respected by his colleagues, I'm sure they are trying their best. We've got your back Yangu Animaru!
So far I love the set-up for the story as it looks after Miura's passing so I don't worry about the manga, yet. Tho tbh, I don't want any sequel to any anime. It needs a fresh start imo - a 1:1 adaptation with as much love into the animation as Miura himself put into those beautiful panels.
Considering fantasia arc was already almost finished and Miura was more then half way done with his story before his health truly declined I don't think it's to hard for the team and his best friend who helped make the story with him to give it the most proper ending it can. And that will honor Miura he deserves to have his work finished and his fans deserve to keep berzerk alive. Ending the Manga now with so many cliffhangers will make this great story fall into more obscurity than ever before
His health never declined, if something, he became healthier after he started swimming and eating properly. Of course, this also meant the manga went on multiple hiatuses. Miura's death was sudden and tragic. No real chronic illneses a la Kurumada threatened him at all. He was in good shape.
I think it would be nice if they told us what they know about the story so we can understand what they are working with. But I also understand why they won't. Because then everyone will be telling them how to write that story and it will get exhausting
I feel like its a blessing that a group of people decided to not let Berserk fall into the "brutally unfinished amazing stories" pit. Berserk, like any story, wasnt fully perfect, it made its quirks and its charm. Miruas own sense of details, drawing wise or character wise, can never be reproduced or continued as if he never passed. The team working on making sure Berserk actually sees its end, with what material ans traces Mirua left, is a chance. Its up to everyone to either just see it as a nice tribute, an actual precise rendering of Miruas plans, or other things. I personally choose to be open to anything that the team is and will work on regarding the final parts of Berserk. Its rare to see mangas keep going after the creator dies or stops for any reason, if not impossible. Knowing how Mirua wanted to reach the end of the story....To know Berserk will be able to rest with its creator as a finished story... I'll take that.
im just glad i might see the ending of berserk when istarted reading it it was right after his passing so i went a whole year thinking this was it, and i was content with it. i think chatper 364 would have been a fitting end. i prayed more so for a light novel just to know how the story concludes but the manga could be even better we will have to see
It can never be the same. Only Miura was capable of filling all of the small details and give proper depth to all of his characters. Still, they're doing a very good job and so far the goal here is to finish the story, and Kouji Mori knows the ending, that is at least clear. So while not exactly accurate to how Miura would've wanted to portray the last part of his manga, at the very least we'll get the ending that he more or less intended for the characters. A Future anime adaptation - hopefully by a capable studio - will have to expand that last part of the manga and give it more depth on screen based on their own creative abilities and understanding.
I really want to see how Sonia will develop as a character. While she's the most hatest character, i can relate a lot with her. I have been in her place before. In my teens was hated, i was simping about a specific person a lot and i was an idiot too, but also i had her innocence, her dumb ambitious mind and i was always smiling despite some bad circumstances (according to my old teachers). But those characteristics can be a double-edged sword, depending on who you are messing with. If you are messing with a person that respects you based of who you are, then you will be victorious, but if you mess up with a person that never cared about you despite opening your heart to gim/her for such a long time, then you will get mentally exhausted. Doesn't sound serious for a regular adult, but for a teen-young adult (especially for a teen), it might affect them in the future stages of life, or even forever without the proper guidance. Sonia trusts Griffith a lot, and by bringing Casca, she might feel betrayed because she showed the most heart and soul to Griffith, and it might get worse because of Irvine. I personally hope not. She deserves better.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the page count will be, they will do what is necessary to get to the ending that Miura initially had in mind, even if it means taking some liberties with the story or speeding through it. Mori said this before in the interview about how he'll tell the rest of the story, he only knows the grand lines of what is going to happen, because that's what Miura told him. He's not going to go into the small details that only Miura knew and cared about, he's not going to make up entire chuncks of inner dialogue because that's not what he was told, just the grand scheme of things. People need to get that straight before they start complaining that things are going too fast, or there's not enough inner monologue, that shit was privy to Miura and Miura only. And now more than ever, if you don't like the way things are , or just feel it's not authentic anymore, then do yourself a favor and stop reading it. It's really that simple.
The countdown being a DVD announcement was such a wasted opportunity. Imagine if they announced a bloody tears and black swordsman arc adaptation. Would of lit the internet on fire...
I can say that I am appreciative of how they’re treating Berserk by giving it the much needed glamorization and attention it desperately needed in its existence since it was created in 1989. I mean I know people are always going to criticize over petty gripes like animation and it’s not Kentaro Miura and such but honestly. They have been utterly respectful to Miura and what he would have wanted. Heck when he passed away they didn’t reveal it until 2 weeks after the fact in order to give Miura’s closest loved ones time to grieve and not make it a spectacle as well as arduously making a decision on what to do with his creation after his passing. Koji Mori really did go way over his head despite only able to recollect a rough draft of what Miura personally told him about the ending he had planned since they are both mangakas that influenced and helped each other to grow creatively as well as help stem success in their lives through their hard work and efforts. Miura is gone which really is a price that we all suffered from and really how they are giving it such acclaim all in honor of Miura really shows his deep impact on the industry and how he was in such high regards to the studio and more. I will take it all as from a respective standpoint. They have been honoring Miura enough with the attention given to Berserk and really I enjoy what I have seen from it. Although I definitely cannot say what I would’ve expected for Berserk to end. I can appreciate close insights from Miura’s lifelong best friend as well as his great respect in the industry to still go strong after his untimely death.
In the last chapter (371) we can see the good work in the drawing. They are better than the first of them after Miura's lost. I know already that the plot will be rashed to the ending, but for me the important it's there is a proper ending (hopefully Miura's ending). And i hope in a good ending for the poor Guts, he needs an happy ending after all of sufferings.
I doubt they are doing that with the manga. Anime studio is gonna anime studio. To be fair I just hope the average joe animator actually gets paid the correct price for working on this anime and that is the real reason for the price hike. Although I have my doubts about that.
Of course its clear that its not Miura working on it, but you could def see the new guys doing their absolute best to give Berserk justice (and i think they finally found their footing the past chapters)..its sad that Miura didn't get to reach the ending, but this series is way too good to stop at 364 imo and i trust the new team to give it a proper conclusion
There should be an end to every story is what i think n many ppl think that way is what is believe...so plz lets support all the team and hail to MIURA 🙏
Hopefully the $$$ goes to his family though. I'm sure the company is taking their fair share but as they are people that have worked with him all these decades I can't be mad. Remember we could have had NOTHING.
saying that studio Gaga may have just done this for money is just disrespectful. It was his best friends decision , who is already regarded as a great mangaka (read holyland). I very much doubt that a lifelong friend and an already well regarded author would only be in it for the money, considering it was his decision to continue it Honesty don’t know how u thought the hawks compliances is gone when it was just like 3 pgs of them💀💀💀 they literally just waited for Griffith and said welcome back master Griffith, literally things we have seen before And I really wish u elaborated on how Sonya doesn’t feel right? Again, it was only like 5 pgs, and all she did was wait for Griffith (which is very much in character). Lol
That was the port of Vrittanis, not far from the land of the Holy See. That’s true, but it’s also true that it was the Magazine who approached Mori first. Mori respectfully took them up on the offer. I probably should have specified that it’s specifically Hakusensha who seem more interested in the money, NOT Studio Gaga or Mori.
@@alexenterprises1 that’s my bad your right. Im dumb, I’ll edit that out. It makes sense their would be a port though, considering it’s one of the main/largest kingdoms. But i always thought that it was the studio Gaga assistants who asked Mori to do it, and the magazine told Mori that they will give them their support only if he wants to do it. I very much doubt the magazine would be motivated by money (obviously to an extent seeing that they r a Biusness), as they where only going to continue it if Mori wanted to do it. I think if it was motivated by money, they would have done it regardless of what Mori says and would have bothered saying IF you want to continue, we will give u full support. Plus finicalical standpoint, it would make more sense to try and do it a lot sooner rather then later
I'd like to have a ending like dark souls 3 DLC, really open to think about, nothing too much defined. World is destroyed and slight hope left to it, and what will came from that little hope is work for the reader to think.
Yea I don’t know if it’s worth it to buy the new anime just for those scenes. I already have the original blurays, and I already have duplicates because of how I bought them, I have 3 copies of the first movie, 2 bluray & 1 DVD, and 2 blurays of the second movie.
I really loved old berserk and I still like it but it doesn’t feel the same I respect the artists alot and the studio and I read berserk and vagabond together or whenever they would release I would wait for 5 chapters to build up for both then read it and I don’t want berserk to send but it will end soon but I really want to see what they do for the end and I hope some good studio will give berserk justice but I really like how the studio Gaga is doing the art. Because it is t that bad compared to Miura I do alot of berserk art especially because I have read it with my brother since we were introduced to senin manga we both always loved seinen manga ever since
I think the guys over at blackscape that dude's a Dragon Ball fan animation need to do a berserk fan animation because their artwork is so much better than watching CG, not just comparing it to that but they're awesome and their artwork
While I kind of agree with the point that the fall of Elfhelm didn't have a fixed perspective, I absolutely think they have some substance to work with, being helmed by someone who Miura knew for over 40 years and a studio that he worked very closely with. I think that he would have some kind of plan in store in case he passed before finishing it. Berserk is a story where one of its core messages is to have hope in a bleak world, so I will hold on. Or maybe this sounds like copium.
No. It’s not on the fly. And it’s certainly not unrealistic. It’s 2023 now. And doing things like that. Down to “adaptations” have been a big trend in all visual arts televised. They are reshaping everything.
Either way the ending will be bitter sweet in my opinion. Even if Guts manages to kill Grifith, probably will die too or just Grifith we all will have a strange feeling cause good or bad, we like this characters.
IMO, I’m glad berserk is continuing. After thinking it over I really don’t think I could be satisfied if it just ended after 364, too much story. Guts and everyone has been through so much that to just end it at that feels wrong.
Their characterization of Guts and his actions makes him feel like a completely different character, he feels like a stranger and he is, it's another writers take on him regardless of Mori knowing certain nuggets of information he can never express the character properly like Miura would that's why it feels so jarring. Guts focusing solely on his sword instead of not immediately lamenting that Casca is out of his reach us absurd. This isn't what Guts would do simple as that, and I'd wish they would be more upfront as to the information they know because I'm sure they are added their own garbage as they see fit to fill in the blank spaces. And yes Hakusensha is probably trying to milk the series as much as they can even if the series plummets in quality it's still making them money, note they also made new pachinko and gambling machines after the revival of the series
Really dude? I think the entire series flew over your head. Guts 2 purpose in life was protecting casca, and killing Griffith, both of which he couldn’t do. He can’t rely on himself, or his sword anymore, so what’s the point? If he can’t achieve his purpose in life despite everything he has tried, what’s the point in picking up his sword? That’s why he says, it was all for nothing. He dedicated his life to protecting casca, something that he couldn’t do. It was all for nothing. Also, we have been told repeatedly that casca is the reason he swings his sword. Hence, he can’t even pick up the sword now cause she is gone. She was his whole reason for living. I don’t know how u could have missed all this. Everything related to the sword is also related to casca
@@scottgimple8107 Basically what I'm saying is the way Mori is writing is stupid, Miura would have portrayed more nuances related to the whole sword thing, his sword is a huge aspect of his identity and his character it isn't even worth arguing but since Casca was taken he hasn't once directly mentioned or thought about Casca but he's just thinking about his sword and the sword directly because it failed him. to me I think he'd be more upset about himself and his own abilities and not just the sword. Yes he swings his sword for Casca and she is his driving force it's a point that's stressed throughout the series and I don't need you to tell me that, my meaning is he's having memories of random moments of the sword and none of them includes him protecting Casca either it's just random battles like Rosine that don't involve Casca wouldn't he he thinking about Casca in this moment?, Mori is basically simplifying the character and making him this caricature and he's been past this stage of his life for a while, him saying he could only rely and believe only in his sword and yet he's been relying on his friends and companions for volumes, the entire point was the journey of Guts learning to open up and trust others again, But yes the dragon slayer he could always rely on it in battle it's like an extension of himself but it's just worded strangely and it's clumsy simplified dialogue and a real Berserk fan can spot it.
@@NekoEnforceryour mistaking subtly for simplicity. He is thinking about casca, just indirectly. (And also directly when he says it was all for nothing). Literally the reason he is having this mental breakdown is because casca is gone. They r focusing on the sword, yes, but again, it ties into everything we need to know about guts mental state surrounding casca now that she is gone.
@@scottgimple8107 we'll see how they continue to portray this depressed Guts and I hope they actually make it interesting because we have seen Guts at low points but this characterisation of Guts is new and having another writer take it on my why it's noticeably wonky to me
Fans of Beserk should consider themselves lucky that Beserk will get a conclusion at all. Duranki, another series worked on by Kentaro Miura will never have a chance to shine, cause fans thought it would get in the way of finishing Beserk.
House of the Dragon was really good, extremely well written, it did almost feel like the old GoT with much more and still well spent budget. As for your last question: if Miura hadn't left any instructions, I would have been against any kind of continuation, but when I read about Kouji Mori I was so glad the series would be back and I could see the story unfold, bearing in mind it's not exactly like Miura would have made it. The few chapters we got are absolutely living up to the expectations, the artstyle gets visibly better for each character that comes out and the turn the story took is extremely interesting. If they gloss over sone stuff rather than inserting important elements Miura didn't talk about it's perfectly fine and it was predictable
There are some time/future errors in this, as I took ages editing this one. My apologies!
Can you leave the music you use in the description?
I seriously can't wait I'm a huge fan of berserk I waited so long
Personally, I don't know how to feel about them continuing. I just got into the manga, but the fact that it is his close friend working on it is somewhat reassuring at the same time or not. The reason I say it's somewhat reinsuring is that he knows what the authors direction was, but since someone different is working on it, the art style is bound to change because each artist style is different even if they try to be the same.
Nothing more tragic than a story that’s never properly finished. As much as I hate a rushed ending sometimes no ending is worse.
I think no ending is a perfect ending for this series, it’s a perfect send off considering the themes and lessons of berserk.
@@cloudthekell It could be, I'll admit I'm not knowledgeable enough about Beserk to say one way or another, but there are relatively few stories that I have read that I believe would be better without a conclusion.
Generally unless the ending is a complete abomination or betrayal to the series itself, ala GoT Season 8, I would always prefer one.
@@cloudthekell Honestly it wouldn't feel right considering it doesn't feel conclusive with all the plot points
@@cloudthekellif they keep on making chapters with the quality they have been doing, I will be very happy that this continuation is occurring
@@scottgimple8107 I agree, i would rather have a committed team work on berserk faithfully than no ending but also I wouldn’t be upset if there wasn’t an ending
Honestly, I consider everything past chapter 364 to be a tribute to Miura and a gift to the fans. It's too much to expect the same art quality, panel layout, dialogue and story detail that Miura would have given us. As far as we know Kouji Mori is not going to fill in the blanks so we can expect a faster paced story and some character arcs to be skimmed down or left out.
They've been doing such a good job. Miura would be so proud of them, can't wait to see them only continue to grow as writers and artist.
@@DistantMist
I'm not going to lie to myself like the rest of you, it isn't good, it isn't good at all!
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 I totally agree. The way Griffith just swoops in and blows everything up just doesn't really make any sense. If he could do that, then why even feel the need to assemble his demonic army? Why not just outright nuke the Mansion of the Spirit Tree instead of sending his minions to burn it down? Why not vaporize the Thunder God? Why feel the need to hire an assassin in an attempt to take out Rickert?
Griffith is about manipulating people. When he has complete god powers, it just doesn't work nearly as well.
Also, Mori's characterization of Guts sucks. The dude isn't only his sword. He uses a sword because it's the best tool in most situations, but he's capable without it as well. I don't think Mori remembers his battles against Serpico, or how he uses bombs, knives, a hand canon, and more.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 I wouldn't say it's bad but it feels a bit hollow. idk if anything could really feel the same as Miuras own work
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 Would you fucking stop spamming comment sections you jack off. You offer nothing to the fucking conversation.
Knowing that some percentage of the rest of the story is based off of Miura’s notes makes me support the team still until the very end. I want Berserk to be a complete story
There's no notes, though. Just conversations from way back then.
Psh, how do you know it to be truth? If it ain't the author himself doing it, then it's not it
Tbh I think the new chapters and who we have making them are the best possible outcome we could ever get, second only to Miura still being here with us. It probably won't be perfect, but it would mostly be how he envisioned the ending of this amazing series with his best friend who knows the ending and all.
I totally get why people are upset or unsatisfied with the new chapters and even I myself am very VERY skeptical how faithful it will turn out, but I think we all should wait until the series closes to either say the continuation was or was not faithful to the series overall. As I already said, but whatever we get from Mori and everyone else working on Berserk will probably be the best we can get. Even if the series doesn't end amazingly or even flops, it'll be fine because we will always have that 70 to 80% to remember fondly. We all are strugglers so I'm sure we'll do just fine and make the best with what we get.
I think it will be faithful but we probably won't get details and character arcs for the side and supporting characters he would've included if he'd been working on it. If I had to guess it will be very faithful cliff notes. He probably did a lot of character development on the fly and it's not like they can develop all the side characters like he intended. Which is a shame because I was curious about what they'd do with some of Griffith's apostles like Irving.
I actually appreciate it as it gives us a rough draft of what Miura wanted for Berserk to end. I expect it not to be perfect in how it would feel with Miura gone and we wouldn’t get the full concept for the ending to Berserk, but to call it unfaithful or whatever else along those lines, is absolutely ludicrous.
It’s the literal interpretation that Miura wanted for Berserk so going off of that we can better understand close to what Miura wanted for Berserk to end as rather than getting ridiculous fan theories. I am way more than grateful for that outcome rather than people’s own high opinion about what they wanted Berserk to end as
@@johnnyboy2537 Mori specifically stated he would only create what he can fully recollect from his talks with Miura about Berserk, not interpretation or guesswork. So this is a rough draft of the overall ending. As far as the definitive version we will never get that with Miura gone. A better version would be if they self recorded their personal talks to gain a better interpretation rather than a rough draft but I am happy nonetheless with how things are as with what we got
All the in-betweens I can forgive if they turn out jank as long as we get Mirura's intended ending to the story. To me that's the only thing that really matters, keeping his vision and themes intact.
I like the new chapters alot ofc it’s not perfect we all know that but alot of the hate i see from ppl kinda fail to remember miura was already bringing up shorter and shorter chapters and if u remember back in the start of the FOTME slan talked about how gut’s fear is as strong if not stronger than his rage and what he feared most has happened
We actually have luck that Kouji and the rest of the team are being able to continue Berserk, it's a story that last more than 30 years, imagine those who follow till now and would ended up without a conclusion? It's not my case but I'm really grateful that we'll gonna see the end of this masterpiece. I'm grateful 😌
I think something important we need to take into consideration is that this is probably what Miura would want. These are his beloved students and his best friend (whom he told his plans for the series to) who are continuing on in his memory. This is their way of honoring and mourning a man that they shared moments of grief and joy with, and picking apart their efforts at this point to me just kinda feels wrong in a way? Nothing wrong with being disappointed but we should give Mori and the team our full support.
My sentiments exactly on this sort of matter. I mean they have been nothing but respectful to Miura since his passing. I still cannot forget that they kept his death hidden publicly for 2 weeks to respect his loved ones and give them time to grieve their loss. That action alone shows where he stands amongst their intentions to his work also Mori didn’t have to do it either but he knew Miura well enough to know that Miura will want him to do it and that gave him reason enough to take on what many may claim to be an unnecessary burden but it’s a burden he faces all for his commitment to their friendship, even in death that is a high honor to behold
Exactly my thoughts and everyone else should too! I’ve been saying this for a while now, and I really dig the new chapters it’s a good direction for it to go in, I hope we get a new chapter soon I’m getting restless
We will never know. Miura wanted to finish Berserk himself, by that premise, they should have finished the manga in vol 41.
@@ricardogarciarevilla6922 these consumers are obsessed with a product, and easily forget about the passion of the actual author. It's pathetic
Usually i'm on the "no ending is better than a bad ending" boat but not with Berserk. I was very skeptical with "New Berserk" at the start. The first five or so chapters (~365 - 369) felt very badly paced imo (still good). But 370 & 371 were so amazing that i grew to trust Mori and the team. I just want my favorite piece of fiction to have a conclusive and good ending...
It won't.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 it will. Berserk was literally promised a happy ending.
Yeah 370 and 371 for me the art style really brought me back into the true berserk, its a little rushed but i feel like the art style of the previous few chapters just didnt feel right.
As long as they fix the rushed pacing and the release schedule seems more stable I'll probably end up loving it rather than just really liking the new chapters like I do now.
@@spcecicles4502
I meant the ending is going to be badly done.
Here for finishing Berserk properly with the absolute respect and dignity it deserves.
As for the anime, I'm of the opinion that you do a couple OVAs to start off. One for the Black Swordsman Arc (it's good idc) and Lost Children. These are two arcs that serve really important foundations for Guts as an anti-hero but would also be low cost ventures that are purely to get fans excited for a new series.
I feel like, despite the pacing of recent chapters, and no matter how anyone feels of the content of what is happening, if nothing else, we should have a general idea of how Kentaro Miura had planned on finishing his story. It seems as though thats what we have and what we are going to get. I am kinda surprised that they didn't split off the series, into something like "Berserk GX" or something like that, or maybe even a series of light novels, or a proper anime adaptation that would eventually finish the final arc(s) of the story. I appreciate what Studio Gaga and Koji Mouri are doing though, I know they are probably trying their best and working their hardest attempting to complete Miura's masterpiece. I will always love Berserk! I can't wait to see what the future holds!
I really like these chapters man as rough as it is. Re reading beserk just before the continuation and so much if paying off; Ganesikha said he couldn’t even touch a single hair on Grifith ; guts cut a hair off . Slan in fotme opening said how guts fear is as great if not greater than his rage and we see that being the case in these last few chapters. It’s rough not doubting it but the sprit of berserk is still there
@@Commandosoap777 Agreed. I feel as if some people don't want to admit that there are subtle nuances in the scenes in the latest chapters. Especially with Guts' own rage being able to "repress" the Beast of Darkness/Berserker Armor, which I feel as if it will become a huge moment later on. I mean, there were other times where Guts submitted to the armor/taken over by the armor in less desperate/fury-filled scenarios so to see him "control" the Armor like that is incredibly interesting
I'm glad they didn't split it off. That would be incredibly dumb and unnecessary
Berserk is Miura’s magnum opus and thus, his legacy. If Gaga and Mori truly know what Miura’s intentions were for his story then I believe Berserk should see it’s ending through
Miura was the only person that died that i didn't know personally and cried for. Someone i will never know gave me something that is irreplacable
Honestly I’m just so happy that they decided to honor their friend and continue his masterpiece of a story.
The chapters they relased was absolutely phenomenal imo.
I’m happy for the future of Berserk.
Also I get the feeling Griffith is gonna remove the curse mark from both casca and guts considering he’s basically as god.
can those sacrifice marks be removed?
@@sannakarppinen4163 it was hinted by schriekes mentor
She said it would take a great deal of godly power or something to that equivalence
@@AoGbeverage16 and maybe Griffith will use all of his power and die in the end?
Really great video, enjoyed that question at the end. Not really sure which is better. If the continuation of the story is done out of love for the series, I fully respect that, however if it is done as a cash grab then it's sad to think that is how they would treat Miyura's legacy. Nevertheless, it's important to separate the current continuation from Miyura's original work, as we are unable to tell how much of the current Berserk is what Miyura had planned to write. Hope the series will be delivered to a great ending in caring hands.
Personally I prefer no definitive ending as opposed to a rushed one
The future of Berserk? 1 chapter every 6 months. I'll be dead from old age by the time Berserk is finished.
After you mentioned other unfinished or haphazardly finished works, i am glad that after Miura's passing finishing of Berserk is in best hands possible; dedicated team of his assistants headed by his long time assistant, co-writer and personal friend Mori who knows the story and who has been engaged in story for a long time.
Love the use of ‘Run’ from the Millennium Actress OST 💜
Can u tell me which background music u used great video as always kinda rips my heart a bit since i started berserk after watching one of ur videos in early 2020 and was so attached to it but couldn't get the feeling again after miuras death
What gives me hope is that I believe Miura layed out how the story ends to Mori before his passing. That plus seeing how the new illustration has improved from their first to the most recent pages is nice to see and I think the best we can hope for now.

@@drteeth362 Well that makes things less depressing. I'm glad.
I think theres a chance that they could do the wrap up of this manga justice, but honestly I'm not quite so sure how it should end. Hoping Miura had drafts detailed enough and all the way to the end.
I'll always prefer gettn an ending over having no ending. Even if it's bad you still can ignore it.
I don’t understand your logic. If you ignore it, you are wishing it didn’t exist anyway.
Essentially getting no ending is just like getting blueballed especially after following the series for so long. At least if the ending is bad, you can be content with the fact that it’s over.
@@movieman6456 it’s a choice though.
That’s just copium at that point.
Mōri had been his friend for 40 years, he’s been there since the inception and influenced the eclipse.
He knows very well how the story is proceeding and even more so the endgame itself.
You’re getting it as Miura envisioned, maybe not as extremely detailed with the artwork but the panels still look great.
Don’t blame any bad ending on Mōri himself, he’s just forwarding what Miura told him.
And since he knows Miura in and out he’ll pick the most fitting panels.
This is as good as it gets!
What you have just written down makes no sense, you prefer a story having no ending so the story can’t come to a conclusion which I believe is stupid, but how can a story be complete if it doesn’t get an ending?
I think since Kentucky Mormon said void is the real villain it will end with someway somehow Griffith and guts trying to take down void,maybe Griffith will say "nigga if you don't help me no Casca" or something
We read somebodys struggle and we became a struggler ourselves.

Thanks for the vid
The art style is getting better I almost forgot it wasn’t wrote by miura. 370 and 371 are great and I think the new team found there way
I finished the Manga 2 Minutes ago. What i can say is that i just want to see guts tore these guys apart and idc who draws the manga. What a rolercoaster of emotions.
Chapter 364 actually makes for a great end to the series IMO. Like GoT, Berserk is so big, complex and long-running that there will never be a fight scene epic enough to top it off. It’s almost poetic to me that everybody who reaches the end be able to head-cannon their own resolution based on what their take on the themes and conflicts has been. Spoilers below for anyone not up to 364...
Guts/ Griffith- will they fight? Does Guts even want to anymore? Would Griffith commend Guts as a true friend, having pursued his dream of restoring Casca all the way to Elfhelm? Would they discuss the ethics of Griffith’s empire and it’s potential to create a world far better than the war torn, oppressive one that came before, even at the cost of the OG band of the Hawk? Would they come to peace, disagree, or settle things with a duel?
Casca- how will she go about rebuilding her life and processing her trauma? She could become a pawn in Griffith’s game but she’s also finally ready to be a character again.
The rest of the party- would they settle in Elfhelm? Become some sort of magical missionaries or even mercenaries given the clear value the witches see in their outside experience, and the need of magical monster hunting all over the world? Will Serpico finally get a life/ personality outside Farnese? Is Isidro going to get Jon Snowed by 20 annoyed witches?
Rickert- will the best lad ever catch a break?
Silat and co.- will they decide where they fit in the story?
Skull Knight- is kind of wrapped up what with the memories and the grave tbh, other than explicit confirmation of who he was which is basically either Gaiseric or irrelevant so matters very little. Will he ever conclusively kill/ die to Zodd? Presumably he will continue his quest to hunt...
The Godhand- Will that conflict ever end? CAN it even? More relevant for story purposes, will they intervene in Griffith’s second empire, given the OG Godhand emerged specifically because of Gaiseric’s empire? How would that work if Griffith is Griffith but also Femto? Would Griffith overthrow the rest to protect his dream? How would that affect...
Fantasia- is this going to last? Can humans and apostles work together to build a world? Is there maybe a key point in there that ‘do what thou will’ could totally include willingly making an integrated and mutually beneficial society? Can the world be made safe from fantasy monsters or will it be reverted to an original reality/ astral realm type arrangement by whatever goes down with the Godhand?
The Dragonslayer- now that there’s at least one honest to goodness dragon on the loose, will it ever actually slay one?
I could see fifteen different fans having fifteen different versions of how they think it would go, or should go, and that’s kind of beautiful to me. Without ‘word of God’ authority from Miura, some people will inevitably be dissatisfied with whatever comes after him, especially if it is underwhelming, rushed, inconsistent or fails to hold up key plot points or themes. I doubt I’ll be able to resist reading onwards but for my own personal satisfaction it will likely end up like Star Wars outside the original trilogy, Evangelion outside the original series or Silent Hill outside 1-4; interesting, valuable, worthwhile, entertaining, but not, to me, hard canon. Even if it’s objectively canon, the great thing about art is that it affects us and we’re all entitled to experience and rationalise that in our own authentic way, and Berserk is undoubtedly art and Miura an artist in every sense of the word.
I don’t think that makes it perfect at all. After everything that has happened I would like a confirmed happy ending, not some ambiguous “Will it be happy or won’t it” ending. Maybe that sounds like a demand but this story has made me feel emotions I didn’t think manga would be able to make me feel.
Griffith's whole arc is that of a madman with a god complex. Honestly, I expect him to end up like Ganishka: reaching for the stars, and losing everything.
After all, Ganishka tried to go against the Godhand, too. And we all know how that went for him.
Griffith is wrong to think he's unique, or special. He's so consumed with ambition he's going to destroy himself in the process. And when that happens, Guts will be there to destroy what's left of his former comrade.
Of course, there were other fifth members before Femto.
Hell, the Godhand must've met hundreds of other "chosen ones" before. Eventually, Griffith will learn his place the hard way. And it'll be spectacular.
i will say, im not to 364, but from what ive seen, the artists picking up berserk are doing a damn good job. as long as they keep the story beats not shitty, they could really finish with something incredible.
I thought the new chapters were quality. Thought they had the heart and talent to back it up.
I think you can make a near perfect 90 minute movie or a near perfect 300 page novel. But with longer lengths it makes sense to cognitively split art into pieces and rate them separately. I am fine with a creator who can create some work at a 9/10 and others of much lesser quality. I think expecting constant 9/10 leads to madness and hatred and ultimately less good art (GRRM, Rothfuss, etc.).
In a series of interviews with the crew behind the memorial edition, it's confirmed that they were working on it before Miuras passing, so I don't think hakusensha had much to do with it if that makes you feel better.
i hope that game of thrones (the books) will not found itself in THIS kind of situation 😰😰😰😢😢😢😖😖😣😣

Also didn’t realize 4C included Guts’ trauma looming its ugly head just as he’s made love to Casca for the first time. I do really appreciate that.
I hope either Mappa or a studio like Mappa does the Berserk anime justice
I want a true anime adaptation for berserk buhh if the memorial edition is all we get then i am no one to be mad for it may be the best we get so at the end of the day I appreciate it
we’ll be “waiting so long” for a good, hand-drawn anime adaptation of berserk 😔
Need it to have a good adaptation while Susumu still makes music. Only him can capture Berserk
I think the new Berserk chapters more than ever justify why Berserk should get an anime adaptation. An honest-to-God, glorious, grade A adaptation.
It could be used to show as much of the series as possible (I understand some things *might* be a bit spicy for a modern adaptation, while other things might be slightly altered to work better for an anime) while these chapters are continuing. The new chapters could be expanded upon without feeling like fluff is being added (i.e. show the Guts vs. Zodd fight with more clarity, show Elfheim sinking in all it's glory, make some random mention that Falconia's expanded now to the seas, and have built a port sometime in between when it's established and when Griffith arrives with Casca), as well as maintaining a more consistent art style (i.e. Zodd). That's my two cents on the manner.
Likely won't happen (and the BS countdown is made me less reassured and more worried, though I'm still cautiously optimistic) but a man can dream
This is going to anger the fans, but the earlier manga feels like earlier GoT seasons. The later volumes feel like a different manga altogether, with a lot of superpowers and plot armor for the plucky comrades. There was a type of mortality in the early arcs, with Guts losing his eye, arm, comrades, Casca losing her sanity, etc. In the later volumes, Guts is nigh invincible, magic protects everyone, and even sanity can be restored. Even the death of an ancillary character is alive in dreams and such to help guide with her magic. It's getting to be that I just really thumb through the action in later pages, because I just know there are no stakes: no one's going to be harmed, magic will magic them all into victory.
It's no wonder that the Golden Age is the only part they bother to adapt.

So far I love the set-up for the story as it looks after Miura's passing so I don't worry about the manga, yet. Tho tbh, I don't want any sequel to any anime. It needs a fresh start imo - a 1:1 adaptation with as much love into the animation as Miura himself put into those beautiful panels.

Even with the rushing that studio gaga is doing it will take at least 8-10 years to finish berserk

And that will honor Miura he deserves to have his work finished and his fans deserve to keep berzerk alive. Ending the Manga now with so many cliffhangers will make this great story fall into more obscurity than ever before
His health never declined, if something, he became healthier after he started swimming and eating properly. Of course, this also meant the manga went on multiple hiatuses. Miura's death was sudden and tragic. No real chronic illneses a la Kurumada threatened him at all. He was in good shape.
When we getting a full anime of berserk cuz I love the memorial edition. I need closure man
This is exactly just slightly more than I expected from anyone handling Berserk.
Why was the timer even necessary? Actual clickbait.
I think it would be nice if they told us what they know about the story so we can understand what they are working with. But I also understand why they won't. Because then everyone will be telling them how to write that story and it will get exhausting
I feel like its a blessing that a group of people decided to not let Berserk fall into the "brutally unfinished amazing stories" pit.
Berserk, like any story, wasnt fully perfect, it made its quirks and its charm. Miruas own sense of details, drawing wise or character wise, can never be reproduced or continued as if he never passed.
The team working on making sure Berserk actually sees its end, with what material ans traces Mirua left, is a chance. Its up to everyone to either just see it as a nice tribute, an actual precise rendering of Miruas plans, or other things.
I personally choose to be open to anything that the team is and will work on regarding the final parts of Berserk. Its rare to see mangas keep going after the creator dies or stops for any reason, if not impossible.
Knowing how Mirua wanted to reach the end of the story....To know Berserk will be able to rest with its creator as a finished story... I'll take that.
im just glad i might see the ending of berserk when istarted reading it it was right after his passing so i went a whole year thinking this was it, and i was content with it. i think chatper 364 would have been a fitting end. i prayed more so for a light novel just to know how the story concludes but the manga could be even better we will have to see
There's no way in hell 364 is a fitting end.
It can never be the same. Only Miura was capable of filling all of the small details and give proper depth to all of his characters. Still, they're doing a very good job and so far the goal here is to finish the story, and Kouji Mori knows the ending, that is at least clear. So while not exactly accurate to how Miura would've wanted to portray the last part of his manga, at the very least we'll get the ending that he more or less intended for the characters. A Future anime adaptation - hopefully by a capable studio - will have to expand that last part of the manga and give it more depth on screen based on their own creative abilities and understanding.
Hope they would continue it as an homage
I really want to see how Sonia will develop as a character. While she's the most hatest character, i can relate a lot with her. I have been in her place before. In my teens was hated, i was simping about a specific person a lot and i was an idiot too, but also i had her innocence, her dumb ambitious mind and i was always smiling despite some bad circumstances (according to my old teachers). But those characteristics can be a double-edged sword, depending on who you are messing with. If you are messing with a person that respects you based of who you are, then you will be victorious, but if you mess up with a person that never cared about you despite opening your heart to gim/her for such a long time, then you will get mentally exhausted. Doesn't sound serious for a regular adult, but for a teen-young adult (especially for a teen), it might affect them in the future stages of life, or even forever without the proper guidance. Sonia trusts Griffith a lot, and by bringing Casca, she might feel betrayed because she showed the most heart and soul to Griffith, and it might get worse because of Irvine. I personally hope not. She deserves better.
Wonder if casca will get any character development
At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the page count will be, they will do what is necessary to get to the ending that Miura initially had in mind, even if it means taking some liberties with the story or speeding through it. Mori said this before in the interview about how he'll tell the rest of the story, he only knows the grand lines of what is going to happen, because that's what Miura told him. He's not going to go into the small details that only Miura knew and cared about, he's not going to make up entire chuncks of inner dialogue because that's not what he was told, just the grand scheme of things. People need to get that straight before they start complaining that things are going too fast, or there's not enough inner monologue, that shit was privy to Miura and Miura only. And now more than ever, if you don't like the way things are , or just feel it's not authentic anymore, then do yourself a favor and stop reading it. It's really that simple.
If there was an adaptation for the rest of the series in the style of the movies I would be happy. As long as its not berserk 2016
I think the best thing is to read everything after 364 quickly and impressionistically, merely to see what Miura had planned.
Welcome to 2023.😊
The countdown being a DVD announcement was such a wasted opportunity. Imagine if they announced a bloody tears and black swordsman arc adaptation. Would of lit the internet on fire...
I can say that I am appreciative of how they’re treating Berserk by giving it the much needed glamorization and attention it desperately needed in its existence since it was created in 1989.
I mean I know people are always going to criticize over petty gripes like animation and it’s not Kentaro Miura and such but honestly.
They have been utterly respectful to Miura and what he would have wanted.
Heck when he passed away they didn’t reveal it until 2 weeks after the fact in order to give Miura’s closest loved ones time to grieve and not make it a spectacle as well as arduously making a decision on what to do with his creation after his passing.
Koji Mori really did go way over his head despite only able to recollect a rough draft of what Miura personally told him about the ending he had planned since they are both mangakas that influenced and helped each other to grow creatively as well as help stem success in their lives through their hard work and efforts.
Miura is gone which really is a price that we all suffered from and really how they are giving it such acclaim all in honor of Miura really shows his deep impact on the industry and how he was in such high regards to the studio and more.
I will take it all as from a respective standpoint. They have been honoring Miura enough with the attention given to Berserk and really I enjoy what I have seen from it. Although I definitely cannot say what I would’ve expected for Berserk to end.
I can appreciate close insights from Miura’s lifelong best friend as well as his great respect in the industry to still go strong after his untimely death.
Its unreal to think we might be in the endgame and at the same time I want a happy end but also a tragic end
In the last chapter (371) we can see the good work in the drawing. They are better than the first of them after Miura's lost. I know already that the plot will be rashed to the ending, but for me the important it's there is a proper ending (hopefully Miura's ending).
And i hope in a good ending for the poor Guts, he needs an happy ending after all of sufferings.
Guys, I calculated it. We might see the end of Berserk in around 11÷23 years.

@@AdiEdits555 there’s already a new chapter coming next month so potentially 1 chapter every month unlikely but possible
I doubt they are doing that with the manga.
Anime studio is gonna anime studio. To be fair I just hope the average joe animator actually gets paid the correct price for working on this anime and that is the real reason for the price hike. Although I have my doubts about that.
Of course its clear that its not Miura working on it, but you could def see the new guys doing their absolute best to give Berserk justice (and i think they finally found their footing the past chapters)..its sad that Miura didn't get to reach the ending, but this series is way too good to stop at 364 imo and i trust the new team to give it a proper conclusion
80% maybe around 9-11 volumes?
Man the final arc might be rough
I can't believe that horse came back in the latest chapter
Giffith redemption arc
370 and 371 are great chapters!
There should be an end to every story is what i think n many ppl think that way is what is believe...so plz lets support all the team and hail to MIURA 🙏
Searched all over the internet wondering when the next chapter will be released but found nothing
Hopefully the $$$ goes to his family though. I'm sure the company is taking their fair share but as they are people that have worked with him all these decades I can't be mad. Remember we could have had NOTHING.
saying that studio Gaga may have just done this for money is just disrespectful. It was his best friends decision , who is already regarded as a great mangaka (read holyland). I very much doubt that a lifelong friend and an already well regarded author would only be in it for the money, considering it was his decision to continue it
Honesty don’t know how u thought the hawks compliances is gone when it was just like 3 pgs of them💀💀💀 they literally just waited for Griffith and said welcome back master Griffith, literally things we have seen before
And I really wish u elaborated on how Sonya doesn’t feel right? Again, it was only like 5 pgs, and all she did was wait for Griffith (which is very much in character). Lol
That was the port of Vrittanis, not far from the land of the Holy See.
That’s true, but it’s also true that it was the Magazine who approached Mori first. Mori respectfully took them up on the offer. I probably should have specified that it’s specifically Hakusensha who seem more interested in the money, NOT Studio Gaga or Mori.
@@alexenterprises1 that’s my bad your right. Im dumb, I’ll edit that out. It makes sense their would be a port though, considering it’s one of the main/largest kingdoms.
But i always thought that it was the studio Gaga assistants who asked Mori to do it, and the magazine told Mori that they will give them their support only if he wants to do it. I very much doubt the magazine would be motivated by money (obviously to an extent seeing that they r a Biusness), as they where only going to continue it if Mori wanted to do it. I think if it was motivated by money, they would have done it regardless of what Mori says and would have bothered saying IF you want to continue, we will give u full support. Plus finicalical standpoint, it would make more sense to try and do it a lot sooner rather then later
@@scottgimple8107
Stop lying to yourself, they only care about money.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051huh? I already have my reasonings as to why I believe it’s much more then that
I'd like to have a ending like dark souls 3 DLC, really open to think about, nothing too much defined.
World is destroyed and slight hope left to it, and what will came from that little hope is work for the reader to think.
Anyone know if this post Miura manga will be converted over to the Dark Horse Berserk deluxe books?
How can anyone, who isnt a devil, move forward. The ending cannot be a golden experience
from the day dear kentaro miura passed away i said to leave berserk along i still stand by that
Yea I don’t know if it’s worth it to buy the new anime just for those scenes. I already have the original blurays, and I already have duplicates because of how I bought them, I have 3 copies of the first movie, 2 bluray & 1 DVD, and 2 blurays of the second movie.
I really loved old berserk and I still like it but it doesn’t feel the same I respect the artists alot and the studio and I read berserk and vagabond together or whenever they would release I would wait for 5 chapters to build up for both then read it and I don’t want berserk to send but it will end soon but I really want to see what they do for the end and I hope some good studio will give berserk justice but I really like how the studio Gaga is doing the art. Because it is t that bad compared to Miura I do alot of berserk art especially because I have read it with my brother since we were introduced to senin manga we both always loved seinen manga ever since
Is there a paid subscription service where I can read all the chapters?
I think the guys over at blackscape that dude's a Dragon Ball fan animation need to do a berserk fan animation because their artwork is so much better than watching CG, not just comparing it to that but they're awesome and their artwork
While I kind of agree with the point that the fall of Elfhelm didn't have a fixed perspective, I absolutely think they have some substance to work with, being helmed by someone who Miura knew for over 40 years and a studio that he worked very closely with. I think that he would have some kind of plan in store in case he passed before finishing it. Berserk is a story where one of its core messages is to have hope in a bleak world, so I will hold on. Or maybe this sounds like copium.
No. It’s not on the fly. And it’s certainly not unrealistic. It’s 2023 now. And doing things like that. Down to “adaptations” have been a big trend in all visual arts televised. They are reshaping everything.
Either way the ending will be bitter sweet in my opinion. Even if Guts manages to kill Grifith, probably will die too or just Grifith we all will have a strange feeling cause good or bad, we like this characters.
IMO, I’m glad berserk is continuing. After thinking it over I really don’t think I could be satisfied if it just ended after 364, too much story. Guts and everyone has been through so much that to just end it at that feels wrong.
Their characterization of Guts and his actions makes him feel like a completely different character, he feels like a stranger and he is, it's another writers take on him regardless of Mori knowing certain nuggets of information he can never express the character properly like Miura would that's why it feels so jarring. Guts focusing solely on his sword instead of not immediately lamenting that Casca is out of his reach us absurd. This isn't what Guts would do simple as that, and I'd wish they would be more upfront as to the information they know because I'm sure they are added their own garbage as they see fit to fill in the blank spaces. And yes Hakusensha is probably trying to milk the series as much as they can even if the series plummets in quality it's still making them money, note they also made new pachinko and gambling machines after the revival of the series
Finally a person who can see reason!
Really dude? I think the entire series flew over your head.
Guts 2 purpose in life was protecting casca, and killing Griffith, both of which he couldn’t do. He can’t rely on himself, or his sword anymore, so what’s the point? If he can’t achieve his purpose in life despite everything he has tried, what’s the point in picking up his sword?
That’s why he says, it was all for nothing. He dedicated his life to protecting casca, something that he couldn’t do. It was all for nothing.
Also, we have been told repeatedly that casca is the reason he swings his sword. Hence, he can’t even pick up the sword now cause she is gone. She was his whole reason for living.
I don’t know how u could have missed all this. Everything related to the sword is also related to casca
@@scottgimple8107 Basically what I'm saying is the way Mori is writing is stupid, Miura would have portrayed more nuances related to the whole sword thing, his sword is a huge aspect of his identity and his character it isn't even worth arguing but since Casca was taken he hasn't once directly mentioned or thought about Casca but he's just thinking about his sword and the sword directly because it failed him. to me I think he'd be more upset about himself and his own abilities and not just the sword. Yes he swings his sword for Casca and she is his driving force it's a point that's stressed throughout the series and I don't need you to tell me that, my meaning is he's having memories of random moments of the sword and none of them includes him protecting Casca either it's just random battles like Rosine that don't involve Casca wouldn't he he thinking about Casca in this moment?, Mori is basically simplifying the character and making him this caricature and he's been past this stage of his life for a while, him saying he could only rely and believe only in his sword and yet he's been relying on his friends and companions for volumes, the entire point was the journey of Guts learning to open up and trust others again, But yes the dragon slayer he could always rely on it in battle it's like an extension of himself but it's just worded strangely and it's clumsy simplified dialogue and a real Berserk fan can spot it.
@@NekoEnforceryour mistaking subtly for simplicity. He is thinking about casca, just indirectly. (And also directly when he says it was all for nothing). Literally the reason he is having this mental breakdown is because casca is gone. They r focusing on the sword, yes, but again, it ties into everything we need to know about guts mental state surrounding casca now that she is gone.
@@scottgimple8107 we'll see how they continue to portray this depressed Guts and I hope they actually make it interesting because we have seen Guts at low points but this characterisation of Guts is new and having another writer take it on my why it's noticeably wonky to me
I just hope they don't rush the ending.
When’s the dub coming out
Fans of Beserk should consider themselves lucky that Beserk will get a conclusion at all. Duranki, another series worked on by Kentaro Miura will never have a chance to shine, cause fans thought it would get in the way of finishing Beserk.
Is the anime going to be out soon?
House of the Dragon was really good, extremely well written, it did almost feel like the old GoT with much more and still well spent budget.
As for your last question: if Miura hadn't left any instructions, I would have been against any kind of continuation, but when I read about Kouji Mori I was so glad the series would be back and I could see the story unfold, bearing in mind it's not exactly like Miura would have made it. The few chapters we got are absolutely living up to the expectations, the artstyle gets visibly better for each character that comes out and the turn the story took is extremely interesting. If they gloss over sone stuff rather than inserting important elements Miura didn't talk about it's perfectly fine and it was predictable
This video was able to put in words my thoughts exactly. In my opinion, Berserk poetically died with Miura.
291$ USD bruh thats ridiculous
The cgi in the movies are infinitely better than 2016-2017
100% agree, but that janky walk in Bonfire of Dreams was a janky walk and I’ll not be convinced otherwise 😂.
New fear
When is going to be releases??
