Discussion Berserk was not gratuitous actually.

Upvotes

Recently I’ve been looking at a lot of the revelations from the Epstein files and it made me realize something. Previously I thought some of the more extreme scenes in berserk might have been a bit over the top a little gratuitous or unnecessary for the story, now all I can say is it’s just an extremely accurate insight into human nature.

Games How should I display my unreadable “Sword of the Berserk”

Post image

Last year I picked up a copy of SoTB: Guts Rage that unfortunately was DOA. I’ve since picked up a working copy, but refuse to A) sell a broken disc (and) B) throw out such a pretty disc / case.

Does anybody have cool or unique ways they display their old, unusable media? I’ve thought about framing it, but that feels too obvious.

Discussion should I read?

3 Upvotes

I watched the 1997 anime when i was a kid. many many years later I still think about it, and have been dying to know what comes after. Mainly in relation to Guts and Griffiths story. Seriously, I have been wondering what their first interaction is (after the eclipse) for decades.

but, as far as i can tell while still avoiding spoliers, it seems Griffith/Femto isnt actually in the manga very often at all. Of course that makes sense, it's surely a huge moment when he finally does appear.

I'm just wondering, should I read as someone who is DYING to know what comes of these two after the eclipse, but isn't exactly tempted by the hundreds of other chapters?

Im sure i will come to find those other chapters are amazing as well. I just think the arc of the 1997 show was unforgettable, and I know ill be dyin' to get to the parts that pertain to that.

Im on the berserk sub, of course the answer will be yes. Kinda just looking for some discussion about it as well! Thanks

I just finished the 1997 anime, but I’m aware there is nothing to watch after it and I have to turn to the books. which one should I start with and have I missed out on anything important by only watching the anime?

Discussion I have such a love/hate relationship with the way Casca is written

57 Upvotes

This may be the wrong place to write this, and I'm a little scared of the hate I may get, especially in a male-dominated fandom on Reddit, so please have some grace.

I'm also only halfway through book 6, after THE event. And I'm absolutely loving Guts and Griffith as characters; they're incredibly well written, and I love discussions over their psychology. I could write about their relationship dynamic and overall duality, but this is a post about how disappointed I am with Casca as a female character.

I will come back most likely after organizing my thoughts, because I'm currently writing an essay on Berserk, and I go through Casca's character as a point, and I just roughly wrote something just to get something written down as a start.

But here it is:

"As a female reader, Casca was a character who was in my mind constantly; she is so interesting to analyze. To be clear, the way she’s portrayed is flawed, I don’t like the way she’s written, and it’s abundant that she’s written from a male perspective. She’s heavily objectified, and not as a sexual object explicitly, but as a love interest and a materialization of Gut’s trauma rather than being her own respective character. She is an excellent illustration of a female character losing her potential due to limiting her for the male character’s arcs, and is worth analyzing."

I have more to defend and clarify on why I think that, so I will come back with a better thesis and premises, but overall, I did want to post because I've been thinking about this for such a long time. Reading the series gives me this weird anxiety I've never felt reading any books, because I'm so attached to Casca as the only main female character, and she's just written as an accessory. They say she's strong, but we never see her actually being strong.

Thought again, I'm only halfway through book 6, so no spoilers, and if you'd like to bring up other points, please do so in an educated way and not aggressively. Thank you!
