Berserk Discussion Thread

[ShadowSavior]

Anyone else besides me really digging the Berserk manga? To be honest I believe it's probably one of the best mangas Japan has ever spout out to the masses, but I'm curious as to what others think of it. Any thoughts?

[Zeeph]

Best manga ever. Period.

[Vaelen]

Oh yes.. Love it.. Not many things better than this.

[The K]

The best manga indeed as stated above... though some scenes can be a bit disturbing 8P

[Uchiha^Sasuke]

Yeah it's one of the best indeed. Really worthy of reading!

[Kami-Sama]

really digging the manga and the no holds back policy...the adult theme, the intense story and the carefully designed drawings make this manga supperb...some of the drawing can leave you speechless...i'm up to vol 27 if anyone hav gone farther than that please let me know..there's so much craving for the manga in my blood

[nigggs]

i played the dreamcast game, and must admit im quite intrigued, can anyone tell me a link where i can get the manga's?

[Kami-Sama]

[GrotesqueMind_1]

I seen some of the anime and the manga is some hot stuff.

[EndlessRain]

The anime rawks! One of the best ive seen yes indeed! But the manga im trying to get a hold of cause i hear it continues with the story and plus the ending of the anime kept me with sooo many questions!

Ooo i will use that site thx for showin ^^

[Kami-Sama]

[Vaelen]

Too bad it's in jap though.. I can't play anything I can't understand..

[Momochi Zabuza]

One of my favorite manga's ever. When I downloaded it, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did (even though I loved the anime) but once I started, I couldn't stop. It was...insane. I stayed up until 5-6 a.m. more than once reading it feverishly.

Now I just can't wait for more. Heh.

[Kro]

im at chapter 243, volume 28. I've been rerading it for so long now and it jus keeps on going. But i luv it.

[Klipz]

I have the whole Anime series, and three manga books on it. What I like about it is the story, the whole thing with Griffith and Gatts is amazing. I only downloaded to Volume 6. Its great and also the manga is unfinished!

[Kurow]

The best manga ever....

Im in chapter 246 in volume 28 but the best part of the manga is the vatican part with really cool fights.

[Kami-Sama]

where i can get the latest chapters of the manga? .. i'm up to vol 27

[UchihaShikamaru]

where i can get the latest chapters of the manga? .. i'm up to vol 27

go to www.mirkx.com type in Berserk and every two weeks on sat there should be the latest translated chapter hot of the presses

GO BERSERK! My favorite part is the entire Band of the Hawk story, really interesting.

[DeathNote]

Yes Berserk is great. Japanese Art mixed with medieval/demon/magical manga, no one else has that.

I wish they would pick up where the anime left off, but I highly doubt that would happen due to the intense violence (for example: dead kids cut in half) in many chapters.

[Last of the Uchihas]

This is the best series ever, but i'm been to that it's author has a tendency of taking long vacation. How old is Berserk? 15 years old or something like that. One question the last chapter i read was when Guts was wounded and they tried to take of the berseker armour but couldn't because it would have killed him. Can you tell me that chapter and how many chapters have bben release since then. Thank in advance.

That sounds like chapter 235, which is in the end of volume 27, but I'm not sure. Currently, there are 246 chapters, which is in volume 28, out right now.

Just wait until later...you'll love 28 (which isn't available outside of mIRC, but I figured out how to use it, and if you really want it, IM me on Aim, msn, or Yim, depending on which you have. My names are in my profile).

Thanks a lot, i will. One other question, Are the rumor true that there is plan to continue the anime series? Thanks in advance.

[Zhongda]

yeah. well i think the manga was great en all but the ending wasnt what i expected. it was kind of dissapointing a little. if there was another chapter explaining that ending then yeah it would be perfect. so he found another ballet, dose that mean hell see grifith again or somthing. and is caska dead or is she imprisioned? i think the ending shuld answer these questions first!

[onemic sensei]

anyone know where volume 1 - 3 is?

[kevin77]

Ok, Berserk has a great story and great characters. But what's the deal with all those girls getting raped? It's disgusting, unecessary (except for when Caska gets raped by Griffith, coz it makes u understand Guts' raging fury), I hate that. It's probably the only thing that keeps me from putting this title as my fav manga all time.

[Tautou]

...what? What chapter is all of that based on?

I've read up to the last chapter of volume 27. I don't remember it being said that Berserk was over so I went ahead and read your entire post thinking that you mistaked the manga for the anime, but that doesn't really sound like it.

And yes, Berserk is awesome. It's definitely my favorite manga.

sorry guy i dont wanna spoil it for you! i already have the anime and i based my post on that! i posted that mabey on the second on third day of joining! i didnt know that you guys were refering to the chapters! and no, i do know berserk .Grifith .guts .pippen .caska and the whole gang! its just that mabey the chapters are a little different!

Where talking about the volumes of manga, if you want to line up the anime episodes to the manga, the last episode of the anime is only at about vol 12 of the manga, so thats 17 volumes of manga that extend the story farther then the anime ever went, since right now there are 29 vols of manga and it is still ongoing. You probably dont even know of the main characters right now if you only saw the anime, such as Isidro, Scherkie, Serpico, Puck, the Kushun army and the new band of the hawks. So read the manga

anyone know where volume 1 - 3 is?

You either gotta buy it in bookstores since it was published by Dark Horse, find it on irc, or hope one of your friends has it to give to you

[Orihime]

I found out about berserk first through the anime, but after I found out that the manga continues the anime storyline, since you know how that ended, I downloaded, and man, I loved it even more. I don't usally read manga like Berserk, with gore and stuff, and the only other manga of this genre I've read and loved is MPD Psycho. Anyway, I love the new group Guts is travelling with right now. Serpico is pretty strong, and I like how he has this "duty to his lady first" attitude. :O I also wish Caska wil go back to "normal" since after seeing her be one of the best commanders of the Hawks, it's a bit disheartening to see her reduced to that state. :(

i don't ;like griffith. *stab* :P Great character, but I don't like him. He's like one of those people in manga that I can appreciate, development, role, etc... but I just can't like the guy.

[mpthread]

new beserk ch is out today ch 248
get it here http://evanidus.ath.cx:7421/ on bit torrent

[euglee15]

how many volumes are there and is there any site you can download them?

[Nosferatubeast]

There's currently 27 (and ongoing) in Japan, but I don't know where you can go to download them. I believe five volumes are published in the US. The manga is infinitely better than the anime, though. Try to get all of them if you can.

[4thokage]

you can dowmload most of them here (bittorrent) http://www.thehawks.org/hawks/bt/index.php?dir=.%2FBerserk
Edit you can get all on the ckmoney irc chanel on irichigway

[Zhongda]

when u say 27volumes u mean manga rite? cuz i have the entire series on only six dvds!

[4thokage]

when u say 27volumes u mean manga rite? cuz i have the entire series on only six dvds!
yeah i mean the manga

[Nosferatubeast]

when u say 27volumes u mean manga rite? cuz i have the entire series on only six dvds!

Yeah, the anime series covers about 1-13 of the manga volumes. Also, the anime doesn't cover everything that happen in those 13 volumes.

[euglee15]

yeah i like the manga a lot better thanks guys.

[Axass]

Chapter wise we're already at volume 29. Anyway the Hawks are SLOW they wait for the volumes to come out, go here: http://forum.digitalpanic.net/index.php?showforum=30

Their IRC channel (IRChighway server) is: #[evil_genius]

They release scanlations as soon as the new chapters come out, it's also a good forum.
I woldn't mind a little rep >_>

[Deadly Venom #5]

Hey, what chapter does vol 28 start with? Repped.

EDIT: Never mind, found my vol 27, so 28 starts at 237

[Mithrandil]

Does the anime skip all those Hentai like parts??? Cause they can become pretty rough :P ;)

[Code]

They're currently only 27 Volumes out as already been said but the manga is up to chapter 249 I think which should be in it's 29th Volume.

Berserk is bi-weekly right?

[Axass]

Yes it is. But Miura took a break during the whole summer and the whole December/January. He's slow.

BTW - The [Evil Genius] group which scanlates it is now here: http://forums.mindwerks.net/viewforum.php?f=2

The IRC channel is the same, thank you for the rep Mithrandil.

[Ingoman]

Evil Genius just released chapter 250 actually
Those guys are pretty cool too
And hey, easy on Miura, he's been making Berserk for 15 freakin years :p

[Axass]

And hey, easy on Miura, he's been making Berserk for 15 freakin years :p

That's exactly why I'm saying that he's slow... 15 years for 250 chapters, Kishimoto needed 5 years for 245...

[Drizzt]

They do the hentai thing mildly in the anime.

However, for the first one (volume 1-3) they skip in the series.. they don't even show puck! T_T

^^

However.. there has been no fight involving Guts for a while now T_T.. just the lil punks..

^^
>8

but I did enjoy the hack n slash game that was brought out!

[Code]

Well Hajime no Ippo has been going on for 15 years and it's nearing 700 chapters and it's still weekly I believe... But that doesn't matter, as long as the series is good. Bi-weekly ain't so bad, there are other monthly series out there that sometimes take a break such as FMA and TT.

I might as well read Berserk by chapters since the volume releases take too long. Though I'm already somewhere in volume 28.

[Koeter13]

but naruto is getting worse and worse. you can already see some dbz-like fights. berserk is still fresh its fun to read, especially the character developments

[Axass]

OMG, I think that right now I love Naruto more than ever. And the only DBZ fight is Naruto/Sasuke right now. Hopefully it will remain the only one. Berserk instead is getting kinda slow lately. Gutts has done anything important in the last 10 or so chapters... they keep concentrating on the others characters... I don't like Berserk like I liked it at the beginning. The whole Band of the Hawk flashback was pure gold, now with all the magic the Berserk Armor, etc... it really went down on my favourite manga list...

...

I actually have a competely opposite view. The band of hawks flashback was nowhere near the rest of the series well there are worse arcs such as that church arc with that flat faced guy... And the Berserk armor is awesome, it seems to be really central to the story as it is called Berserk and the armor makes him go Berserk and the fact that he's supposed to be like how the Skull Knight was and his fate is the same as his... blah blah blah.

I won't really even think of comparing Naruto to Berserk...

[NekkiBasara]

yeah i can easily see comparisons from dbz to naruto....they started just having battles where all they do is constantly talk.... then fight for 5 minutes ie dragonball..... powering up for 3 episodes then fight for 5 minutes...they both still great shiznitt animes...but berserk the super shiznitt and the anime just barely covers the surface of what lies in the manga...why did the anime end when it did...that shit boggles my mind....and certain scenes from the manga cant seem to leave my head... ****Spoiler**** sort of.....like the one with that possessed horse and the church girl...or when guts was hacking up all the little fairy children...or when grifith was getting molested by the torture guy.....or when the king wanted to sleep with his daughter...that one came out of no where....wtf is going on in miura's head....berserks story keeps expanding and just getting better and better....i only hope that with all these open ended story arcs going on that when miura finishes it .....it ends just as great....not that i want it to end but i want it to come out more frequently.....

does anyone know.... where i can get the zodd figure in beast form i saw it once at eb like 3 years ago and never again....and have been looking at conventions, online, toy stores everywhere.....i think its by art of war.....

[Axass]

Wow, I thought EVERYBODY loved the flashback arc. You learn something new everyday! ^_^
Well, I don't like the magic part because it's like changing the rules of the game while it already begun. I started reading a regular medieval manga with monsters and war, then in volume 23 (if I remember correctly) the magic pops out and take a major role.

BTW: Naruto's way better than Berserk IMO, even if Berserk was my first manga... >_> *runs away as quickly as he can*

Huh?

Berserk as always been a fantasy type manga... The demons and all... The magic even suits the setting like in midevil times and such things as the witch burnings. Also since when as the magic taken a major role? There is only 1 character who uses magic which is that girl who isn't any more major than any of the other characters such as Ishidoro(who rocks by the way...).

[Sabaku no Ira]

Actually, there has been talks about "magic" in the previous chapters of the manga (for example, there's a witch in the new Band of Hawk army. She's the one who led that guy through the forest of monsters to Griffith, who was summoning the souls of the fallen of his army in a battle earlier in a clearing), but the "magic" is just not shown up until the witch arc. It is one of my favourite not just because of the magic (which actually pushes all the main characters to the same level as Guts. Before it was Guts who basically does everything because he's levels above others), but because of the parrallels of paganism and Christianity (the Four Guardian angels, etc) which shows the non-sense of the intolerance of the Church in the manga.

[Ingoman]

I do find it odd that Gutts doesn't get recognized more often. His reputation as "Hundred Man Killer Gutts" seems to have spread pretty far. I mean who else uses a sword that big?

[freegood]

^ Because Guts and the original Band of the Hawks were so unbelievable that their exploits were pushed to myth and legend.

I didn't like the introduction of magic either. First the flashback came, then everyone died and it changed everything. Then the magic gets introduced and it changes again. I don't think the creator knows how to end this series....

I think the pacing of the manga has slowly died down at this point. Griffin seems to be pushed into the shadows with the Black Hawks (Black or White?) searching for the fairy king and the Kush army trailing them.

Still, there's so much disturbing and thought provoking stuff in this series that makes it one of the best I've read.

Sure magic has always been hinted in the first two arcs. But when Scherkie (Or whatever you want to call her. Sometimes I ask myself why the names the characters change every five chapters? Even when the same group translates it... can't they stick to a name?) entered the story it got a preponderant role. Every character has now a magic weapon, trolls, golems and the such were added and the witch basically keep saving the group everytime things go bad. And all the other characters... I liked when Gutts was alone against the whole world...

[freegood]

I hate unfinished series because I get too impatient. Is it likely to end soon?

[Axass]

Dunno, I'm still halfway...
Anyway there are 186 chapters right now.

It's Scherkie.. but I think this is the calm before the storm, I mean, it always going to be about Guts fighting the whole, but keep from the repetitive of the formula, Miura is introducting other character and element to keep it fresh. Beside, Guts need to regain his humanity or else he won't be able to fight Griffith without seeming the same. These character are making Guts return why he felt that anger and such.

Anyways, I can't wait for this arc to begin picking and seeing Caska regain her sanity.

[ZODDGUTSU]

Naruto good as Berserk?? :laugh I guess that's just a matter of opinion even if it's wrong. :P



Well here's the cover page for volume 28 it's a big spoiler for people who haven't read the manga up to vol 27 so ignore my big post of the pic.

[Mithrandil]

Does the anime go further then what the manga has come??? Just wondering how much of the manga it covers since it's only 25 episodes according to animenfo...

[ZODDGUTSU]

That question has already been answered read previous posts.

[Tautou]

I don't see how Naruto is as good as Berserk, man.

Naruto's plot is far from great, Naruto's art is far from great, Naruto's characters aren't that great. Berserk's plot is pure brilliance, the art is first-rate, the characters are deep, unique, and well thought out as fuck. I can't explain the feeling that I get when I think about the difference between Berserk and Naruto.

The world of Berserk has far more depth, far more flavor, far more refined, it's far more real than the Naruto world is. You can tell that Naruto is a kid's manga right off.

I think Berserk is much better in each aspect. Far, far better. It's just on another level than Naruto. I just can't explain, man. I just can't explain.

[euglee15]

well i do agree berserk is great but i mean naruto is good so shut up. o well ur opinion i guess.

[Drizzt]

Does the anime go further then what the manga has come??? Just wondering how much of the manga it covers since it's only 25 episodes according to animenfo...

Just the golden age stuff.. from the end volume 3 to the end of volume 14.. I believe.. it just cover the Golden Age Arc. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone any further than that..

The only medium that has progressed further is the video game.. but since you have to import it.. >_> I wouldn't know much how it goes..

I agree with your opinion Berserk is in it's own league. Naruto is well simplistic is was made for kids while Berserk is made for adults only the story is really deep dealing with religion/fate/casuality/Human relationships.

Both series are great but in terms of Art/story/character development Berserk wins hands down. That's just my opinion including many others who aren't Naruto fanboys. :P

[Axass]

Naruto good as Berserk?? I guess that's just a matter of opinion even if it's wrong.

Naruto is the best for me. Why can't you respect the others choices? It's not like I tried to make you change your mind posting bad things about Berserk or saying you're wrong. If you don't agree just say I like Berserk more. Why do you have to forcefully bash Naruto and who read it...? Don't even try to turn this topic into Naruto vs Berserk.

[Mithrandil]

Naruto is a great manga and anime. Period.
Berserk also is a great manga (haven't seen the
anime). But while Naruto is for kids, I doubt Berserk
is for kids too. Berserk is a series for more adult
persons, kinda like Conan (not the manga), because
it has hentaiish scenes, and lots of gore. The two
series can't even compare, cause they are so different
in style and uisergroup...

[Axass]

I know, Mithrandil, I'm just pissed at that guy. Anyway while Berserk isn't suited for younger people because of the themes I think Naruto may be enjoyed by everyone. Aren't we all reading it after all? We aren't kids anymore, are we?
IMO Berserk story isn't more deep than Naruto, it's just more realistic making it look as more complex. It just values different concepts, Berserk developes the meaning of fate, destiny and the human will, while Naruto concentrates on the value of friendship and love which aren't less deep concepts IMO.

BTW - Who's he to say "I guess that's just a matter of opinion even if it's wrong." "That's just my opinion including many others who aren't Naruto fanboys."?
More like YOU are a Berserk fanboy, since you can't even stand others opinion, and talk like you speak the "truth".
Berserk is what made me start reading manga. Guess I know it's great. But I'm gonna say it again. Naruto for me is better.

Anyway, I'm gonna start a Berserk discussion thread, so if you want come there to discuss about it: http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=18383

[Axass]

Berserk is a manga from Kentaro Miura, it's composed by 28 volumes and 250 chapters. It comes out bi-monthly (sp?) every first and third friday of the month in Japan. It's currently scanlated by two groups, The Hawks and Evil Genius. The Hawks only release complete volumes when they come out and they usually have bettter quality scans, Evil Genius release every chapter only a few days after they come out and they can be found here: http://forums.mindwerks.net/viewforum.php?f=2
IRC: #[evil_genius]@IRCHighway.net

If you want to start reading it, you can read my badly done review in the Encyclopedia of Manga thread: http://forums.narutofan.com/showpost.php?p=364155&postcount=77

There's also an anime version of Berserk which covers only the Golden Age arc of the story, from volume 3 to volume 14. It's good but many, like me, think that it can't be considered on par to the manga version.

So what are your thoughts about chapter 251 and the next ones? What do you think will happen next? What do you like about Berserk? What do you dislike?

[ZODDGUTSU]

Not many Berserk fans in this place you might as well go to Skullknight.net oh and one of those groups who "translates" Berserk are taken from skullknight.net without the permission from the translater Saki.

[ZODDGUTSU]

Hmm would rather have me say "Naruto good as Berserk?? I guess that's just a matter of opinion even if I think it's wrong." There now can you stop your bitching. gracias. :)

[Axass]

Is that for real? Never heard of that... are you talking of Evil Genius?

[ZODDGUTSU]

I'm talking about The Hawks. People in Skullknight.net don't believe in scanlations because it takes away from the creators work Saiki the translator is one of those people who have the same opinion. So of course The Hawks wouldn't bother asking him since he will say no for his translation being turn into scanlation form.

Here's the translation from Saiki for ch 250.

[Tautou]

I've read through it twice. At first, I didn't like the art too much. Like all manga, the art at the beginning wasn't that great. But as the manga progressed, the art would evolve to levels that I've never seen in a manga.

The second time I read it, I saw that the art wasn't bad at first. The characters weren't drawn as well, but there was still so much detail. In the walls, the houses, what people are wearing, the background in general, he covered it all with a great depth of detail.

And when I saw how realistic the characters looked later on, I remembered something. Most manga don't have great drawings at the beginning, but the characters in Berserk had a realistic touch to them. If Berserk were to take the same pattern as other manga, and the art were to evolve, one can see from the first stage of the art that it'd evolve into something great

The Berserk world itself has so much depth, an insane amount of depth. Just like the art is covered in detail, so is the world of Berserk. It has depth that I've never seen before, each corner of the Berserk world is covered, the dude that created Berserk thought out the entire thing. It's sheer brilliance.

The character design is also so great. The characters all have their own unique flavor, feel different emotions, have such a great depth. The characters are just more human than most, some of the most well thought out I've ever seen. The character development is just amazing.

Berserk is a philosophical and mature work of brilliance. It has a whole lot of depth. In the art, in the plot, the world itself, the characters... It's, in short, a masterpiece.

And I don't think Naruto can compare to it at all. It's about one's taste in the long run, but Berserk is just on another level. If we were to put aside personal bias on all things, I think Berserk would have much better art, much better plot, better thought out world, better thought out characters. Berserk is on another level of quality.

WAIT!!!! Are you saying that the anime of berserk after that Griffith become a demon is continuying????? cuz its been like a year that i'm waiting for this , YOU HAVE to tell me if i'm correct.

and of course where i could downloaded it. ( i'd like to have a site too for the first season that came out) ..well the first part of Berserk ..

Where did you get that? No the anime isn't continuing, at least I didn't hear anything like that. On the other side the manga goes way past the part when Griffith becomes a demon, if you didn't read it already you should really start. It's way better than the anime IMO.

I've read through it twice. At first, I didn't like the art too much. Like all manga, the art at the beginning wasn't that great. But as the manga progressed, the art would evolve to levels that I've never seen in a manga.

The second time I read it, I saw that the art wasn't bad at first. The characters weren't drawn as well, but there was still so much detail. In the walls, the houses, what people are wearing, the background in general, he covered it all with a great depth of detail.

Yeah, Berserk is definitely on another level for many aspects. Especially the artwork, like you said, is the most detailed I ever saw. About the fact that it's better than Naruto... I have a different opinion, like ZODD know... anyway let's just talk about our beloved Berserk here!

I'm talking about The Hawks. People in Skullknight.net don't believe in scanlations because it takes away from the creators work Saiki the translator is one of those people who have the same opinion. So of course The Hawks wouldn't bother asking him since he will say no for his translation being turn into scanlation form.

Here's the translation from Saiki for ch 250.

Oh and Ch 251 is out:

Translation by Saiki will be out soon once he checks out the chapter himself.

Oh, well it's been a lot since I stopped reading The Hawks scanlations, I just read the Evil Genius version now. Anyway thanks for the links!

[ZODDGUTSU]

Link to translation ch 251 has been fixed.

Well anyway Guts new armor that his been wearing is just well WOW. :amazed

Just watch Guts pawn an Apostle using that Berserk's Armor of his.:

[Axass]

No they just wait for volumes to be released instead than chapters. They are probably scanlating volume 28 right now. Evil Genius do the scanlations as soon as the chapters come out (plus the Hawks steal translations and use them without permission from what I've heard), go download volume 28 and the first chapters of 29 there. (the link is in the first post)

[rubbereruben]

You have no idea how much I love Berserk, I've been reading it ... since a long time ago. Best manga I've ever read, though the story has been progressing slowly and even though the new twist with the arrival of Schierke has been a breath of fresh air, I liked the dark medieval setting better.

Though I doubt Kentaro Miura can let me down after 28 volumes of pure bliss. :)

I guess I've read every chapter like at least 5 times... XD

Sammy is the publisher of that game in Japan the makers of that game is Yukes the same Game Company that's made the Smackdown games for the PS/PS2. They also made the Dreamcast Berserk game in 2000. :cool

Maybe if were lucky if Sammy doesn't bring it over here in the U.S. and Europe another publisher will pick up the game and publish it.

Love love lvoe Berserk. I first found out about it through the anime... and then discovered that there was a manga, and my friend sent me scans in a DVD. It was wonderous. I'm not the type who likes gore, but the plot is amazing, even the art. *_* My favorite character right now, other than Guts, is Caska (poor girl) and Serpico. :3 I don't believe I've read the latest chap of Berserk... but I will have to get it soon, ... *_* I just like Guts' new companions. XD I want to see Schierke grow up into a kick ass witch too. >D and Griffithdieplzkthx. :)

[Vertical]

the only bad thing about berserk is sometimes its hard to follow, like when it shows all the people having sex i was like wtf is happening im confused

[meweiss182]

^^really? ive found it to actually be easy to follow even though im only on chapter 17 i havent been confused once the creator has done a good job of laying out characters and the plot

[Caligo]

I just LOVE this manga! :P, i do hope Hawks put out Vol.28 soon, i really hated the ending, only made me want more, it would be really cool if they released BERSERK in shounen-jump here in sweden, tho theyd probobly get lynched before they were able to put it out. Would love to buy them instead of having them on the computer....

[Windy]

Berserk is pretty good. I REALLY like the drawing style in the later chapters, it kinda reminds me of 19th century illustrations or something.
It would be better without all those rape scenes, though. >_> It gets REALLY stupid after a while.

[SkullMan]

Berserk is a friggin awesome series. I started watching it from the first dvd release. When I heard Darkhorse was going to release the manga I was a little apprehensive at first but now i can safely say that the Manga totally owns the anime. Each volume is better than the last and i'm very eager to see the story past what the anime covers.

The only thing that sucks is that they release 5 volumes a year. Come on Darkhorse I'll be 27 before it catches up.

[Axass]

That's because Miura himself is sloooooooooow. He just took a break for the whole summer and for December-January. Not counting he releases a chapter only every two weeks. Darkhorse can't help but release a few chapters per year to not catch up too quickly.

still not as slow as that son of a bitch Sadamoto on Evangelion. The guy takes breaks meassured in years. I feel like going too Japan to kidnap that bastard and force hime to finish the manga in my basement...kinda like that Stephen King book, I think it was Misery

lol yeah he takes forever at least he finished vol 9 a few months ago. From what it looks likes there's only going to be 3 to 4 volumes more. Since in vol 9 Kaworu is introduced although he was introduced earlier then he was in the anime. The manga will end it in what 4 to 5 years.... sigh :notrust

[SkullMan]

How do you spell 'Gattsu's name? :I
I've seen Gatzu, gattsu, Gutsu and a few more :I

its just Guts in English. Thet add that su on the end when they say it in Japan...I think thats just how they pronounce it over there.

[Tautou]

I'm pretty sure that the "su" is part of his name, but it's silent, so they just call him "Guts".

Could be wrong, though.

[SkullMan]

I'm pretty sure that the "su" is part of his name, but it's silent, so they just call him "Guts".

I'm not 100% sure either I just thought it was one of those Japanese quirks

like how Sakura sounds like she says Kakasensie instead of Kakashi sensei

[Code]

its just Guts in English. Thet add that su on the end when they say it in Japan...I think thats just how they pronounce it over there.
Well It shouldn't matter how it's said at all. Really how the manga author chooses to spell it is how it is.

Yeah... sure you will. :eyeroll

BTW You can buy the entire series with it's "brick" (boxset) for 100 bucks. The more Media Blasters (the R1 lincesor) makes from Berserk the more money they have to throw at VAP to make a second season. :amuse

The only reason Media Blasters even considered to co-produce the second season is due to Berserk sellings so well.

i've seen the anime.. every time he swings the sword, there is that sound: "pshhhhhhh-sssss" – it is the blood flying like in Kill Bill

Farnazze - Just... a little more...

Farnazze - I feel it's just a little more...

page 02

Farnazze - Practicing magic with my teacher

Farnazze - It may have been only a little but I felt as though something would change inside of me and my felt excited from it

Farnazze - But now that I am here...

Farnazze - I feel as if I would think of that as nothing but a simple game

page 03

Serpico - It's already spring, and it snows

Serpico - You will catch a cold Farnazze

Farnazze - In this scenery, to be in it with you in this snow.

Farnazze - It feels like we're in the miniature garden, the holy city

page 04

Farnazze - That journey, the many feelings I had in the strange journey

Farnazze - It all feels likea dream

Farnazze - I wanted to be of use

Farnazze - To do something that only I could do

Farnazze - To be of help to them

page 05

Farnazze - But that is all just an excuse

Farnazze - I couldn't stay still. The flames were that were given to me without choice.

Farnazze - The warmth, and my own self who couldn't move forward.
(note: I am not 100% sure here. I couldnt think of any way to word this in english. Any suggestion would be appreciated)

Farnazze - The warmer it became, the more I got to wonder if I belonged to them (or if there was my place).
I was so nervous that I couldn't stand it.
So I got out of there and came back to the place that I was accustomed to.
Into the cold enclosure.

page 06

Farnazze - I am a coward and a fool

Serpico - Farnazze

Farnazze - that is...

page 07

Farnazze - mother

Mother - Oh, Miss Farnazze

page 08

Mother - I hope you have been well. It has been quite a while
(errr......she's talking in a noble'ish talk. A greeting)

Farnazze - And you too mother. What brings you to this place?

Mother - I hate the winter so I was travelling across the southern islands on boat

Mother - I thought I would visit the battlefield before I went back home

Mother - The army is so nice with many soldiers looking strong

Mother - Oh and speaking of which, I thought you had left the Holy Chains and went missing...what brings you here as well?

Farnazze - Many things happened

Mother - Well now, you? engaged?

page 09

Mother - And who is this man?

Farnazze - He is a friend of Magnifico and of royal blood

Mother - Does your father know?

Farnazze - Brother said he would tell him when the time came

Mother - Hmph....the men of Vandymion...

Mother - Are you okay with that?

Mother - Do you think you can live with this man?

Farnazze - He...

Farnazze - said I was interesting...A person like myself

page 10

Mother - Do you have someone you love?

Farnazze - I I.....

Farnazze - No, that person to me is.....

Mother - It's not like you. It's hard to believe you were the daughter that troubled the head of Vandymion

page 11

Farnazze - No, I .....

Mother - Oh, did you not know?

Mother - Your father feared you

Farnazze - huh?

Mother - That man is a weak person

Farnazze - Father? Um...?

Mother - Yes

Mother - He's weak. That is why he wants to place himself everywhere he can reach

page 12

Mother - He feels secure once everything in the world is under his hands like a toy

Mother - To me, he is the slave of the world. But to be the head of Vandymion, you have to be a coward like him.

Mother - To him

Mother - You were something Incomprehensible. A small monster

Farnazze - Me...to father?

Farnazze - That, that can't be!

page 13

Farnazze - I could never say anything to father. My own feelings

Farnazze - I could only nodd to anything father said to me

Mother - Words are not the only way portray your feelings, Miss Farnazze

page 14

Mother - You have always expressed those feelings with actions that were unexpected.

Mother - Like a baby without words that would cry with all their might

page 15

Mother - Father feared you like that

Mother - He does not have the strength to undersand things he unknown to him

Mother - You were raised without the warmth of a parent or without touching the world, by yourself. Like an animal of the wild

Mother - That is why your heart is bare and without and shell

Mother - With emotion, you are almost artistic

Mother - So much that it is hard for you to live in this world

page 16

Mother - but if you are able to find a place where you belong

Mother - because you know pain more than anyone else

Mother - You be kinder than anyone

Farnazze - Mother

Mother - It's not like I raised you, but I am proud to have a daughter like you

Mother - Maybe it's because of me, the opposite of a good teacher?

Serpico - How could she say such a thing....

page 17

servant - Miss, your ride is ready

Mother - Where are you going?

Farnazze - There is a ball before all the soldiers head out for battle. Magnifico said to make sure I am there

Mother - Mr Magnifico said that huh.....

Mother - Sounds interesting. May I come as well?

Farnazze - Well yes, you are more then welcome

page 18

Isidro - All walls! Is this all Farnazze's home? It's huge

Isidro - So what are we goin to do? Wait till dark then...

Guts - We'll go from the front

Isidro - But

Guts - We're not doin anything suspicious. We'll go right through the front

page 19

Guts - And if doesn't work out then it's just that

Isidro - I feel as though something will happen

Isidro - But why bring Casca? And that outfit of yours

Scherkie - We can't just leave Casca by herself at the inn

Isidro - Well that's true

Puck - And we can use her to lure out Farnazze

Scherkie - And there may be a time where I will have to use magic. If so, then I can concentrate better in this outfit

Ivarela - A witch is the best like this

Scherkie - And I want it to be back to normal as soon as possible

page 20

Guts - Yup

Isidro - huh?

I am proud to be a BERSERK fanboy.

[BlackCoven]

Holy crap, I have been reading Berserk manga for like 2 hours a day (up to volume 20). I can't get enough, Gutsu is the man!!

[Seraphim]

Its spelt Gatts (also Gutsu and Gutts)
And yes, Berserk is awesome. It really is my favourite... thing
I've read it at least 70 times and it just makes me want to read it all again.
I knew it was the best thing the second I saw Gatts laughing his ass off while stabing the Count in the face in front of his daughter. What a classic moment.
But yeah, Berserk is just the best and in my opinion, nothing else compares at all.
I mean, I love Naruto but its not even 0.00000000001% as good as Berserk.
Nothing comes close. Best concept, Plot, Character design, indepth story and backgrounds and just premium inking.

I didn't go much on the anime though. The cut characters, parts of the story, changed the script and ended it WAY to early... Plus they made it near impossible to continue on with the story. This is just another case of manga > anime
Just like Full Metal Alchemist XD

Btw, Mindkerks is pwnage and... ummm yeah.
Hiya Damien ^^

[Pye]

Everything Shade just said.. I agree with 99.9%. Berserk is seriously the best thing I've ever discovered. I couldn't live with out it.. >>Skullknight.net = uber IMHO.

BERSERK Episode 254
THE ARC OF MILLENNIUM FALCON
CHAPTER OF FALCONIA
THE BALL

page 4

Magnifico:Giorgio de Vandimion--the business partner and the right hand of his father of the Vandimion bank, and he is the heir to the Vandimion family.

Magnifico: Politiano de Vandimion--the governer of the Holy See, and is thought to be the most likely candidate to become the next pope.

Magnifico:and also in this battle,there are many countries that will not participate without the backup of the Vandimion.

page 5

Magnifico: Everyone is all trying their hardest to gain the next king's confidence.

Lord1: You asshole! How could you even support the Tudor... Be ashamed, very ashamed.

Roderick: Who are they?

Magnifico: Oh, they are the lords from Midland!

page 6

Magnifico: Although the official reason for this war is to reclaim the Holy See from the Kushan's invasion, but the real reason for many countries is how to gain the most land from the Midland. Even though they defeat the Kushan, it is predictable that each country's army will not give up their share of the Midland territory.

Magnifico: So now without a country...how to take back our land and which country we should unite with is the key.

Magnifico: That is where our skill is tested. If we do it well,becoming a governer will not just be a dream!~

Owen: Please stop!

Owen: You two!! Stop it!!

Lord1: Hey!! Let go of me!!

page 7

Owen: Do not embarrass our country anymore in public!!

Lord1: Sir Owen! I thought you came here to find the source for some support as well?

Owen: Of course, but the support I seek is not from any aristocrat or royalty.


page 8

Owen: The help I seek is from you people, the Midlanders.

Owen: I understand your worries for your people's safety as an aristocrat. But especially in a time like this, you should put your powers together to reclaim your country...

Lord 2: ....the underlying reason making it possible is the presence of the royal family.

Lord2: midland is an old country. Therefore, to us aristocrats ,the bloodline of the royal family is the holiest and the object of loyalty.

Lord 2: For us, the royal family is the nation itself. Now that royal family is gone, Midland is...

Lord 2: ...a dream unable to come true.

page 9

Owen: Are all those subjects who lost their king so miserable?

Owen: Sir Raban, where are you now? Has he been able to sneak into Windham safely? How does the Princess Charlotte fare? It is irritating that I cannot do anything for you, sir.

Magnifico: A knight from a ruined country... How pitiful.

page 10

Roderick: As a man who has been disowned by my country, I have to bow my head.

Magnifico: Talking about being disowned, I have been disowned by my family, but we will not waste our lives by living in luxury during our youth.

Magnifico: They shall struggle as much as they like. In a world that you condemned as a bird cage, together they shall drink stale and saturated liquer.

page 11

Roderick: From now on, it is no longer a calm and well known inland sea, but an era of a raging open sea.

Roderick: The man who is able to pioneer the new sea route and step into land where no man has ever been and conquer it, will be the victor of the era.

Roderick: But in fact, both my farther and his subjects do not understand this.

Roderick: Located on the northern border surrounded by open sea, Eess is quite different from the other countries in a way that they do not give in to the rough sea. They have developed the techniques to build and to steer the ships along with their history. Yet they are ignorant about their advantages and with their island country mentality, they dislike interference from other countries, while all they have in mind is to seclude themselves.

Magnifico: Same with my father. All he shows interest in is how he will manipulate limited game pieces on the fixed checker board.

Magnifico: In this world (bird cage), for those of us who has been disowned by our country and family, we are ones without places to go.

page 12

Magnifico: If we are meant to drift around without a place to go, all we can do is start rowing.

Magnifico: We'll seize the next era.

Farnese: Older brother

Magnifico: Our bond, the godess of our victory has arrived.

Magnifico: No matter what father says, if we annouce the engagement to the public, he cannot nullify the engagement and keep the honor as the head of the family. Then, you, me, Vandimion, but also Eess......

Roderick: Well, hold on to your thought, Magnifico. Although i like that about you [the way Magnifico gets all fired up about a topic and starts talking about it in a passionate way]...

Roderick: Right now, no unrefined talks.

page 14

Magnifico: We have been waiting for you, my princess.

Magnifico: May I ask you for a dance?

Farnese: Uh, sure...

Magnifico: Oh geez, that guy...

mother: What a lovely gentleman.

page 15

mother: Would you introduce me to him, Magnifico?

Magnifico: Mother!! When did you get here?

mother: I just got here today. That must be your friend, Farnese's fiancé. He seems lovely, even though he does look a little on the mischievious side.

Magnifico: Mother! Where did hear such a story...?!

mother: ...Well.

Magnifico: ...Do not tell me you have told Father about this...?

mother: Oh, do you have anything to hide from your Father?

page 16

Magnifico: Mother!!

mother: ...You cannot deny your heritage.

Mother: You are becoming more and more like your Father when he was younger.

Magnifico: ...No way. Please do not tease me.

mother: I will give you one advice. Be careful when that girl is being obedient to what others are telling her. Especially when she seems naïve.

page 17

mother: She is not a kind of woman who can be fitted into men's strategies.

Magnifico: ...What are you scheming?

mother: If you do not listen to my advice, you will be paying for it. Just like your Father.

page 18

mother: ....You, Farnese's attendant...

Serpico: My name is Serpico, madam.

mother: Yes, I remember you. It has been a while since you have come to our family.

Serpico: It has been more than 10 years now. Ever since Miss Farnese saved my life when I was young, she has been kind enough to allow me to serve her as her personal attendant.

mother: So it has been already 10 years with Miss Farnese... Really.

Mother: ...Which means you are quite strange as well.

page 19

mother: Just like a pair of trees that are unable to stand straight without supporting one another, people like you two are inseparable.

mother: Please continue to take care of Miss Farnese. Nice, nice. It has a scent of taboo to it.

Serpico: ...Very sharp person.

Serpico: Again

soldier1: Gee it's cold.

soldier2: Seems like it has stopped snowing.

soldier3: I want to go inside.

soldier1: Hmm? Stop! Who goes there?!

Ivarrela: Over here!

Schierke: I'm sorry but we're letting ourselves in.

Puck: We have acquaintances inside! We came for free food!

Isidro: Thanks for working so hard on your night shift!

[Last of the Uchihas]

Berserk > any manga. It my favorite manga of all times.

[aaasss]

Where do I get the first 3 few volumes.

Looked everywhere... :(

[Drizzt]

[mister. pek]

Where do I get the first 3 few volumes.

Looked everywhere... :(
http://torrentreactor.net/view.php?id=5028244 try this.

[Kepa]

oh well... the artwork in berserk is just so detailed. Sadly, the price for such an artistic style it the long waiting times between chapters :(

[Code]

oh well... the artwork in berserk is just so detailed. Sadly, the price for such an artistic style it the long waiting times between chapters :(
It's only 2 weeks...

[Malice]

I've read up to like 279? I think? Anyways. There was a list with the Neverwhere bot on it. Evil Genius or something. I had to reformat my comp, so anyone got a link? Thanks.

[Code]

http://xdcc.ev.ath.cx:7420/

and Berserk is only up to 254.

[Kepa]

the neverwhere bot is now called despair (http://xdcc.evanidus.ath.cx:7420/)
evil genius is the name of the scanslators, the speed-scanslators actually.

[rubbereruben]

It's more like 3 weeks, and sometimes 4... XD

[Toiletnojutsu]

I've left and I read.

28 and some of vol 29 mmmmmmmmmmmm:D :D

Caska is now my rightbeforeIfalltosleepthinkaboutanimechick.

[Kepa]

so, how long untill they get to that bludy elf island??
are they gonna get there?

after all, it's like that king said...does Guts really want her to remember everything :/

[darkspark]

awesome manga, never seen the anime though. more fans of it here than i expected, though i don't know why i expected less

[Code]

so, how long untill they get to that bludy elf island??
are they gonna get there?

after all, it's like that king said...does Guts really want her to remember everything :/
Well it won't be for a long time as it's been nothing but building up for war for the past arc, so Caska might even die before htey reach it... either way a war is about to break out and well the band of the hawks deal.

[skethee2]

you know what would make Gutts lose his composure?

when caska gets her memory back...and she uses the Behelit and becomes god hand
I think Gutts would probably be in a state of shock

but lets hope it doesn;t happen

[Jingle Uchiha]

Damn you Miura! When are you going to freaking release volume 29 It's feels like it's been 5 freaking years since another Berserk manga came out.I mean who cares If Dark horse takes forever as long as it Makes miura hurry the hell up. Also did He finish volume 29 because since all the Berserk stories have 9 or sumping I thought it would be the same with Volume 29. Because he better not end with Farenese's story that'd be just like how Inuyasha ended with him doing some fanscy move while turning into a full fledged-demon.

[Gutsu]

you know what would make Gutts lose his composure?

Between the pillars in a row

page 01

guard - huh?

guard - did something....?

Isidro - From the front huh...

Ivarela - Free passes

page 02

Scherkie - Quite

Scherkie - I am using a spell to elude the od, but we will be found if we make too much noise

Isidro - It's a party so their must be alot of food

Puck - It's an understatement to say call me a food picky elf. I will explain all the food to you

Isidro - You mean food fighter

Scherkie - You two there! quite!

page 03

Isidro - Huh! What the....!?

Scherkie - I am positive. This is the fog that attacked us at the beach...

Isidro - huh

Isidro - Those things are coming out again!? In the middle of this city!?

Puck - Warning!

Ivarela - Gross

Scherkie - Something, terrible is coming

guard - It suddenly fogged up

page 06

Puck - Not a croc

Isidro - What was that?

page 07

Isidro - A cat...a little too big for one

Scherkie - Just like that time, I feel a threatening od

Guts - Weird. Those things would usually attack us

Isidro - You're right, it went right by us....

Guts - But if something like that is in here, we should hurry

Isidro - Hehe, but bcuz of this fog, we can enter alot easier

Guts - What's about to happen?

page 08

Isidro - It's pretty heavily guarded once we're in this deep

Isidro - CAn't you do something with your magic?

Scherkie - With that many, it will take some time but I will.....

Ivarela - what's wrong?

Isidro - What?

Isidro - Hey?

Scherkie - This way

page 09

Scherkie - Serpico sent a message saying he's waiting at the back entrance

Scherkie - Serpico

page 11

Serpico - It is said that these pillars in a row were made as a monument of victory when this land was won back from the Kushans

page 12

Serpico - I am sorry to call upon you guys

Scherkie - Serpico, we need to see Farnazze

page 13

Serpico - I am sorry but I cannot alow that

Serpico - Guts, although it is exceeding my authority, I accept your challenge here

page 14

Isidro - Huh? You're going to fight Guts? Here?

Scherkie - Serpico

Guts - Alright

page 15

Scherkie - Not you too Guts! What's wrong with you

Guts - He must have thought this through

Guts - Don't move till we're done

Isidro - Don't worry about it

Puck - Is only one grave good?

Ivarela - Two men who fight for one women

Ivarela - Hey, you're been ignored!

Scherkie - But

page 16

Isidro - They're not going to seriously fight each other. They'll stop at the last second

page 17

Serpico - Those pillars must be a nuisance for a large sword

Serpico - These row of pillars are called "the forest of pillars". They are thicker than the usual pillar and the numbers are a mass

Puck - A strategist

Isidro - WOW!

Ivarela - Smart

Scherkie - So that's why....

Serpico - I feel I cannot win if I fight you head on, so I set it up

page 18~19

Guts - You're sneaky as usual

[Toiletnojutsu]

The scanlation link won't work :(

[Beatnik]

Anyone know of any http links for the manga?

[raoul2000]

Simply put, the best manga ever!!!

[rangeofhakke]

I loved that chp, i have been waiting for this rematch. It should be awesome. And like what is said above me...this really is the best manga ever. This is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Gatts is such an amazing character i can't wait to see how this thing plays out. O and this manga is probably going to go on for a nother 10 years.

[Darkreapyr]

Looks like hes just blasting through those pillars. Place is going to be left in crumbles

[Xan-Nella]

Cany anyone help?

I had downloaded a Torrent with the manga so far a while ago, but now i want to get back into Berserk i have no idea were it was up to Chapter wise.

Gutts had taken that girl he loves, her name escapes me, from the place she was staying and they were traveling, then he saved from getting raped only to rape her himself, or at least imagine so, too long ago to remember.
She was then scared of him too.

Anyone remember were abouts this was? what chapters?

Rep to the person who can figure were i was out :P

[Cao Ren]

I was realy happy getting this manga it was great.

[Zeff]

The anime is good but I don't know about the manga

[EET]

Im downloading all the manga (1-29) then Im gonna re-read everything (holy shit thats gonna take a long time) .. Im excited =P

[12456]

Chapter 257 is out at Skullknight.net (including partial translation as well).

Some rumours say that chapter 258 will revolve around the neo Band of the Hawks and Sonja. Hopefully we might get to see how close they are to Vritannis

[shadowrage]

Full 257 translation by Saiki (a few lines are missing but will be added tomorrow) at skullknight (http://www.skullknight.net/yabbse/index.php?PHPSESSID=4f419644d7aa939ca06a71f913fd8f 3f&topic=4574.0)

[Axass]

The anime is good but I don't know about the manga
The anime is good but the manga is better, give it a try.

Thanks guys for the links, Evil Genius is still stuck at 255...

[jkingler]

I have read most of the manga. I prefer the anime. Despite the lack of closure, I really enjoy Gatsu's character more. He is more complicated in anime form, IMO. Also, the absence of Puck is nice. Puck annoys me, and Gatsu not being healed by him all the time makes the 100 man slayer seem that much more badass.

I actually haven't seen the anime but I think it ends before he meets up with his new followers, right? (ie Serpico and Farnese). Them taking the spotlight on occasions could be the reason Guts seems less interesting to you because it was more about Guts prior to them joining him.
Miura hasn't really had the time to do any changes to him (granted, I dont know why he should) lately.
Serpico, Farnese, Schierke etc; and while they are interesting characters, the story and the character development (actually for Guts, it seems to have some what stagnated, him just going around being worried for Caska gets played out after a while) in the later volumes has lost a bit of its touch since it now has gone out on a few more branches than before, where it focused mostly on the Guts/Griffith/Caska conflict (although this is probably just me being sort of anxious to change).
Not a great deal has really happened lately and although some new characters have been introduced (mostly apostles) they haven't really been elaborated on any further besides some very short comment about their feats prior to joining the hawks, but this will also probably be developed more on as Guts and co gets to fight them.
That said, looking at the latest chapters and knowing generally what they have come to made us expect, I see it as a great build-up to something
fantastic.
I think we will see some changes in all the characters (most of all Guts and Caska) after they reach Elfhelm too (It would be great if Puck AND Ivarella could be a bit more serious than they are, that is true).
About Guts being healed all the time after all battles: well, the Berserker armour did damage him quite a deal, he still hasn't recovered yet!

Volume 23, chapter 3-4.

It ends right after the Eclipse.

[12456]

It ends right after the Eclipse.


Ah, thank you, as I thought then.

[Xan-Nella]

Cheers Axass, but what actual chapter is that? :D

[Axass]

Cheers Axass, but what actual chapter is that? :D
189-190

I'm not completely sure, shouldn't be more than two chapters far though.

[Xan-Nella]

Cheers man :D

[Muk]

erm, i might be behind a little since i only checked evil geniuses site. well does anyone have 257 and 258 scanlated or the raw files. couldnt find it on skullknight.net >.<
if nothing else u could always host it on yousendit :P

[Kepa]

^ I've got 257 and 258 by god's hand...
use this to remain up-to-date :) (http://www.manga.baka-updates.com/releases.html)

[NekkiBasara]

This manga is great... Its better than the anime simple because of the fact it doesnt end and keeps the story right on going. The story is really deep and as the manga continues you learn more about the world and characters of berserk...which is insane....this is one of my favorite anime series and probably my favorite manga....being human i know people are going to whine and complain about blah blah blah and they are all entitled to their opinions...if they dont like the genre then i can understand why they wouldnt like berserk this series is extreme at some times...i still have the images of gutz cutting up the little fairy kids and the horse trying to rape the religous girl in my head...its disturbing....but if they like this genre and dont like this anime or manga...i dont know what to tell them....coocoo....this series is great...i just wish i still had more to read and didnt have to wait for them to come out

[Cytokinesis]

Can anyone tell me where to direct download chapters or volumes of berserk past chapter 29, because thats as far as direct manga goes and somebody mentioned there was already 28 or so volumes.

[mister. pek]

Cyto: There is torrents :
http://www.omanga.net/hawksbt/bt/index.php?dir=.%2FBerserk
Dont think there are any direct downloads. I suggest p2p programs if you dont want to use torrents, but there arent many people sharing mangas on p2p programs.

[Cytokinesis]

The only reason I was looking for Direct Downloads is because of how long Bittorrent takes, I have to go to camp tommorow and the thing has taken 3 or so days to get half done :sad So now I have to wait four weeks to read it :notrust

[Kepa]

but there arent many people sharing mangas on p2p programs.dc++ :oh
getting berserk there is easy..

[SASUNARU<3]

I just finished Volume 14 of Berserk and i was wondering, when Guts rescues that girl and goes over to the village to fight the faries, is that spose to take place right after Volume 3 where he killed the king or whatever that was actually a demon and the 5 demon gods came down?

Well the manga has 3 volumes(I think) of present time. Then goes into an arc about the past, basically setting up the story for why Gutts wants revenge and stuff. So yeah it happens in timeline after volume 3.

[hjkou]

am i the only one who thinks the anime was retarded?
it was boring up until the last 2 eps.. and then it was just, disturbing..
the ending was really gay too :\

[kainx6]

The ending was kinda poor for the anime, since it is the cliffhanger of the manga, I won't say more to avoid spoiling but the story gettings more awesome after that fact (the anime only goes to about Volume 13).

However the anime is still wonderfully done, IMO

[SASUNARU<3]

am i the only one who thinks the anime was retarded?

Ya anime was pretty boring. But it probably would have been better to someone who hadn't read the manga beforehand.

[۩ReYmДN-dono۩]

*now notices this thread* theres a rumor that they are planning in making more episodes for the anime ...hope its true

This is the best series ever, but i'm been to that it's author has a tendency of taking long vacation. How old is Berserk? 15 years old or something like that. One question the last chapter i read was when Guts was wounded and they tried to take of the berseker armour but couldn't because it would have killed him. Can you tell me that chapter and how many chapters have bben release since then. Thank in advance.
yea i heard that he takes his time 0_o thats a problem its so damn slow

[12456]

*now notices this thread* theres a rumor that they are planning in making more episodes for the anime ...hope its true


yea i heard that he takes his time 0_o thats a problem its so damn slow

Rumours like that that have risen on many occasions. Not once have they ever had any basis or proof. I remain skeptic.

And yeah, berserk chapters come out in space of weeks or several months.
The reasons being that some Berserk chapters are quite detailed (some of the images can be classified as masterful illustrations rather than just another cell really), the other is that Miura is (even though I doubt I'm allowed to say this, seeing as I haven't been creating an extremley well done manga the last 15 years) quite lazy at times and likes to take occasional breaks and vacations.

im gona be married and with kids and berserk will stilll be running :)
and yea i know the detail in the manga its great and it takes time

[donkey-man]

When I was in Japan, somebody let me read their set of Berserk. I sort of ran out of time and couldn't read two of the volumes (when Guts gets the black armor that makes him sort of look like a fox or something). Where did he get the armor at?

[Void]

He's getting the berserker armor from Flora's manor (Schierke's witch mistress). This happens in chapters 224-225 of vol 26. Make sure that you read the rest and catch up with the series :wink

[syrin]

ARRRRRRGGGGG..... just watched the berserk anime, loved it it was great watched all 25 episodes (ARRRGGG AGAIN 25!!! WHY OH WHY) in the space of 2 days... only to realise that its only part way into the series and theres no more anime of it made........ AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG


DAMNIT if theres anything that disappoints me more than an open ending to an anime its NO ending at all....
I guess i better start downloading the manga, although i hear that it is also only part way through and slowly released as well :(



I feel alot like gaara in my avatar

[Sasuto]

i really need a place to download the episodes of berserk.Its been a long time since i seen it and i need to find 236 and down in chapters!! anyone know a chanell on Irc where i can find that?

#lurk @ irc.irchighway.net

#Lurk & #CKmoney got the biggest mangabots, tho CKmoney doesnt update as often as lurk. Just search for Berserk:
http://www.thelurker.net/index.php?do=search

[Midus]

When do you think Guts will get along to telling everyone that he was the raid leader of the band of the hawks. He kinda stayed out of the conversation that they had in chapter 244 about the Hawks and Griffith. Said that he didn't remember what army he was apart of which of course is a lie...

Wonder how the witch and Doro will react seeing as that they've become friendly with two of the members of the new hawks.

[Sasuto]

thx guys!!

dont you guys have any Anime links for berserk too?

@ Pek , Lurk channel need a registration :S i can't go on it.

@ smokeyjay yeah cheers canada rocks :D

[Toiletnojutsu]

Wich chapter is it at now?

I've bet it has only been a few realeases since I stopped reading it a long time ago.
Cause the author is lazy and all. He makes wounderful cells though, not like the hunterxhunter manga :S

[Midus]

Ch. 259

Evil Genius released it on the 22nd.

Anyone know where they currently are in Japan and where I can get raws?

[A2L]

so it's only upto 29? Ok, then I'm only like 5 chapters behind...

Man I wanna know what happens between Griffith and Gatts so badly... and if Caska gets her mind back... why... why do I have go paintballing tomorrow... i would prefer to sit in a dark room and read berserk... but noooooooo, stupid peer pressure...


"C'mon man, we're all doing it... you know it's fun... just do it again this sunday man..."

[Axass]

Anyone know where they currently are in Japan and where I can get raws?
You said it yourself. 259. Evil Genius releases the chapters right after they come out.

[Sasuto]

Hey guys is it me or they all blocked the sex thing in the manga? i mean those who scanslated it and translated it...DidN,t they cover up the sexual activities in the manga :P? cuz i remeber well long time ago that it was like a hentei manga at some point! ...it was nice even if im not the type of guy to jerk off on a manga!..

so is it me or am i right? and where could i find ALL the manga except on irc ichigoway cuz they banned me for a reason that i dont understand something about a spam or spamming? don,t know what it is....oh and the manga whitout the covering of those childish scanslator :p

[SASUNARU<3]

wow i just read volume 26 were he gets the berserker armor, and although Berserk is my favorite manga, i don't like the armor thing. I hope he goes back to regular. He doesn't look as cool while killing shit, and it takes away from the badassedness of him being able to kill all those demons while only being a human. But from him just getting the armor, basically explaining what the title means, this manga has a long ways to go.

[Rocklee88]

simply one of the best animes and mangas out there. i plan on reading the manga right after my exams :)

[SASUNARU<3]

simply one of the best animes and mangas out there. i plan on reading the manga right after my exams :)

Correction: simply one of the best mangas out there. i plan on reading the manga right after my exams :) anime is god awful.

[mister. pek]

I thought that the anime was ok, i didnt have any expectations tho. :/

[Sakurako]

Berserk, my third love after the bleach and naruto manga.

Caska is just too beutiful, and Gats is just too badass. :love
Damn slow tho -___-

[Seraphim]

Berserk literally is my life force.
I read it all at least every week.

I own the box set and 5 mangas XD

Gatts and Zodd are my heros!

[SASUNARU<3]

I finally just caught up with my all time favorite manga yesterday, and now that im up to 259 i got some questions for those of you who are caught up, 1. I know that Evil Genius is the primary Berserk scanslators, what is their IRC channel? 2. After a new chapter is comes out in Japan(the next one comes out tommarow), how long do they usually take to release them after they come out in Japan? 3. I know The Hawks do Berserk but they haven't released since vol. 28, did they drop Berserk? and 4. How much ass is this next chapter going to kick?

1. #[evil_genius] on irc.irchighway.net
2. I don't neccessariliy know evil-genius' release rate. Though I recall them releasing 259 within a few days after the raw(could've been a day after).
3. Volume 29 of Berserk isn't out yet. They only translate when the volumes are released and that's only about one or two times a year. 4. Well hopefully a lot ... but I'm still hoping that Gutts and the rest are there to take part in the war about to break out.

EDIT: Well Evil-genius is pretty fast. Already have 260 out. http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=27W56SNOWPJ112VZ9NWN5334C0

[ikoni]

i borrowed the anime from my friend and i think i watched it in like 2 days because it was so good. Now i started reading the manga and i found up to volumes 21, i searched through the forum and found sites that had 25-29 and the hawks have 4-26. But that is to slow heh i must get my berserk fix now. This is one of my favorite mangas and if anyone can help me find a site that has all the scans i would be very thankful.
