I guess I don't want to google Queen's Blade then...
The worse kind of AIDS.
No sane person should google Queen's Blade. That rabbit hole begins a very dark path of 2D women.

It'll set in soon...
Queen's Blade is essentially heavy-ecchi, to the point of light-hentai. The show's primary existence is to see women fighting each other, with no clothing (and I mean none) on. If Japan is willing to show naked animated women fighting each other, with one woman having acid milk boobies, then Berserk has a chance of being uncensored.

hmm, i must watch this show
It first starts with Queen's Blade, this road will lead you to the dark cavern that is Fakku.

I'm sorry but that is Miyazaki compared to Berserk.

Just got the first volume. I've never read a manga before, so this right-to-left thing is gonna take some getting used to...
I'm now imagining you going back and forth between this and Golden Girls, which amuses me somehow.
And yeah, the backwards thing is something you get used to pretty quickly, I think. Once you get acclimated you won't even notice it.
Man, enjoy the ride - Berserk is the king of mangas and you'll get used to the right-to-left thing real quick
Also, have fun with all the incredible art that Miura has drawn. I don't know how he is capable of creating such fantastic images, just amazing

Tonal whiplash ahoy!
I'm super pumped! The only bad thing about the manga is that it doesn't have a Susumu Hirasawa score attached to it
When can we have a Berserk Golden Girl manga?
So in two years Miura has released exactly 2 chapters!? I was 15 years old when I started reading the manga, and I'm closing in on 30 (28) now. :/
I'm loving the emphasis on fantasy now. The art is fucking incredible, the design of the bow and arrow apostle Holy Shit.

Imagine how he must feel.
Despite his age I don't think Miura feels any urgency to finish Berserk.
There was an interview back in 2012 where he talked about working on the backstory
for the god hand and we would see it "soon" (which could take up to a year).
Now in 2014 he took a break from Berserk to work on another manga and we're just starting
to get a glimpse at griffith's falconia.
Worth noting that the art improves quite a bit from when the manga started through the latest chapters.

Good to know, thanks.
Imagine how Guts feels about being on that boat!
Well, it's no Bible Black. I would have something more clever to say but my latest binge of Ippo and your Takamura avatar is overfilling my fighting spirit. Going to fight my best friend now.
I hope you enjoy those ten new chapters.

This is finally continuing! I still have to catch up, but I'm glad there will be new chapters coming out, cuz it's so good.
Togashi plz do the same

What is there to actually tie up in Berserk?
Get off the boat
Reach land of fairies
Guts is told he needs to go on a quest to obtain items they need to cure Casca.
Then told they can't cure Casca
Murderous rampage
Godhand origin story
Godhand meets Guts
The End
That'll give Miura at least 15 years worth of material.

Origin stories for the Skeleton Knight and Zodd probably would be a good idea as well.
We already know bits about the Skeleton Knight don't we? I suppose of Bersek followed the regular monthly released schedule then there wouldn't be a problem in dedicating a few chapters to his back story. But since releases are patchy at best we may never actually get to see it.
Then again, I don't get the impression Miura is willing to rush things because of that either, so...

Skull Knight and Void are going to end up killing each other imo.
this.
I would soo love that I'm really interested in all of God Hands past too.
We have an idea on Skeleton Knight and Void's past but I'm interested in seeing where Zodd fits in.
He has a lot of respect amongst the apostles and got that best friend status with Femto.

It would be pretty amusing if he got some form of "I feel like I've been on this boat forever" monologue in the new chapters.

I started reading the first volume last night and I have a question:
Why is there still Japanese text? I'm reading the english version so shouldn't it be all the way translated into english? What am I missing?

So, wasn't the whole point of re-doing the first arc as 3 movies, so they could then finally animate some new stuff?
Where's the next movie trilogy?
Also, how much material is there past fish island? That was the last arc I read before getting tired of the slowwww updates and putting it down for a few years.

I don't know why but I have a terrible, nagging feeling that there will never be another movie trilogy.
That would be quite sad. Despite a very gripes with the new movies, I really liked them and are glad they exist, but if they stop there, again, that is a bummer.
Onomatopoeia? I guess?
I don't think they ever said something about another movie trilogy, or even movies. Just that they planned to animate the rest of the series. Could be TV series, could be OVAs... And could be nothing, of course, if their plans don't materialize.Where's the next movie trilogy?
We're never getting off the boat. 😢
Who the hell gives a shit about the boat? I just want more Griffith-sama.
