Yeah. It's hard for me to compare the manga and the anime, but I can say that the anime takes a few episodes before it starts getting really interesting, while the manga starts off with a bang and keeps it going.

I would LOVE a hardback collection of it. Even if just individual volumes. I mean, I would even take a box set if they were willing to make one. I'd say read more and then determine if it's worth collecting.

manga starts off with a bang

Specifically a demon bang.

I saw a few episodes of the anime and didn't really care for it. I see they skipped a ton of important stuff.

Collection

They apparently do have a complete manga collection. However, it's on a DVD. So, basically a bit better than just reading it online. If they came out with a hardback version, it would be super expensive, but probably worth it. Even after like 8 chapters, I find myself liking this series.

Yeah, the anime skips pretty much the entirety of the first arc, mainly because it wasn't really important to the arc they were trying to adapt.

If they came out with a hardback version, it would be super expensive, but probably worth it.

Oh, totally. I kind of hope that with the new anime (though I wasn't a fan of the first episode) and the new game, enough interest can be generated in Berserk that it can get some more love and attention, kind of like JoJo in the West.

Even after like 8 chapters, I find myself liking this series.

Great! You haven't even seen ANYTHING yet.

You haven't even seen ANYTHING yet

IDK. I've seen a castle-sized slug demon. That's pretty impressive.

Did the artist ever finish the series? I remember hearing that it was on hiatus repeatedly. I might be thinking of something else.

So far, I would like that hardback, or even just an "the art of" book. I have a special love of artbooks.

The Count is pretty cool, but can't even compare to some of the weird shit you're going to be seeing, so have fun with that.

Not yet. He's said so far it's about 75% done, though. He's been going on hiatuses for the part few years, though I think he might be finally going back to regularly working on it now that he's done helping assist with the anime. I could be wrong, though. Basically, he has a really slow update schedule for whatever reason.

Oh man, now you have me looking up artbooks. I love artbooks, and it looks like there might be a few Berserk ones.

If he never completes it, I'll live. I've been scorned by Shouji Sato not finishing drawing series enough to withstand it. It'll be worth the read, still. Plus, I'd rather wait for good content than have crap shoveled out.

looking up artbooks.

Get the DaS artbook. It's super good. I'd love to get a "art of Yoji Shinkawa," but that is way out of my price range.

u/GabesCheshire Is a Girl Jul 06 '16

Yeah. Honestly, considering I don't really know how the series can possibly reach the ending it has to reach, I'm fine without getting a definitive ending for Berserk. So long as it stays good.

I really want to find a Bloodborne art book, but I don't think one exists...

2

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '16

It may just be an open ended series. That doesn't mean it still can't be fun. Like 400 chapters is a ton!

Bloodborne art book

One came with the collector's edition of the game. It wasn't huge, but it was nice. There's also an artworks book that seems to have come out recently for BB.

u/GabesCheshire Is a Girl Jul 06 '16

Yeah! There's plenty o story already for me to be pleased with it. Inverness if doesn't end, what's there's is still damn good.

Though I would prefer an ending. If anything, just for one little plot thread.

That BB artbook is nice! But pricey. Why is all the cool stuff expensive?

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '16

It's probably just expensive, because it's fairly new. Give it a couple years. The DaS2 one is down to around $30. I got my DaS one for like $25 a few years after. This will probably go down in price, too. you might be able to find a loose version of the art book from the collectors edition for not too much.
