manga: what you reading brehs....

[Renegade_Django]

Honestly, I'm still like ten volumes behind on where it's now currently and I say no. The anime is based of the Golden Age arc which is by far, and I mean BY FAR, the best arc in the manga, and of the stuff that comes after it I'd say 95% is pure filler. Guts meets these new characters that join him, they fight some demon, rinse, repeat. I've read that at its current point, Guts still hasn't even gotten close to fighting even one of the God Hand (the five head demons), which is fukking absurd.

The only thing that it has going for it in my opinion is that the art is absolutely insane. Alongside the works of Asano Inio it stands as the best art in all of manga, and it's the sole reason I struggle on with it.

Thanks man, thats what I was afraid of, after watching the anime i was really intrigued by the god hand, and after reading some of the wiki I was even more interested in the idea of evil and the whole concept behind it, what arcs would you consider series best after the Golden arc?

edit: that art is fukking amazing

Well, the major arcs in Berserk are Black Swordsman (the opening arc), The Golden Age, Conviction, Hawk Of The Millennium Empire and Fantasia. Right now I'm only halfway into HotME but so far that one has been a huge improvement over Conviction, which was utterly boring to me and mostly served to introduce the new allies of Guts in the aftermath of the God Hand ritual. It's not until HotME that Griffith gets back into the mold and things get somewhat interesting again, but even then a lot of time gets devoted to Guts & co. fighting arbitrary monsters that are really into rape.

So would you say The golden age is still worth reading after seeing the anime, I've heard that its much more detailed and more characters. And it sounds like pretty much no other arc besides golden age is must read

I think it's worth it. But if I was you I'd also read the opening arc which should give you a good feel on what the rest of the series is like.

I recently watched the beserk anime and absolutely loved it, with the considerable cliffhanger I want to read the manga, but i see there are long droughts between new issues, and there really isn't a conclusion to the story in sight. Is it still worth it?

The last update to the manga was in January.

I clicked on this manga named Oldman purely out of curiosity. First chapter dropped. They didn't even have the cover on the site yet.

" oldman? what is this? Some mega man villain shyt? lets see what this shi-"

"" *turns page*

yeah. I'm calling it right now. this may be one of those long slow burners full of epic shyt and bloodletting like Berserk. Bookmark it and expect greatness.

Brehs, you know any other great less known shounens?

I'm up to date with HxH. I got mixed feelings about this manga. There are moments of pure brilliance but most of the time, it's utter garbage.
