What would be the best way to start getting into Berserk? Start with the manga or just jump right into the anime?

Read the Manga. If not that watch then watch the movie trilogy then the 2016 anime.

 

[K.Jack]

Everything felt plausible, up to the point that the employees just started telling him about future projects.

While speaking with Taniguchi, the editor of Beserk, he implied that Miyazaki’s next project will have him collaborating with Kentaro Miura, creator of Beserk.

Also, am I the only one who noticed the word "implied"?

 

[Nirolak]

I see no way this is true.

I think the main believability angle would come from Miyazaki being a Kadokawa employee, and Miura clearly knowing about video games given Idolmaster, so I think a meeting could have been arranged for Miyazaki to pitch Miura on helping to design their next dark fantasy series (unless this is the weird IP, but I assume that's supposed to be the finally cheery game Miyazaki wanted to work on).

That said, that doesn't mean it's actually happening, but that it's a lot more plausible than it would have been eight or even three years ago.

Edit:

Since someone will probably quote me on this later, Kadokawa doesn't publish Berserk, but I imagine it's easier for a major publishing company to reach out than it is for a small hole in the wall game studio.

 

[convo]

It's all seems like wishful thinking to me. Everyone who can see the resemblence knows this is a dream project. If you believe long and hard enough maybe it will come into existence too.

 

[HStallion]

We are not getting a Berserk from soft game. Don't get your hopes up.

We'll get the Japan game everyone has been clamoring for from Miura.

 

[Bronetta]

We are not getting a Berserk From Soft game. Don't get your hopes up just to be let down.

I want to Believe.

 

[JayEH]

We are not getting a Berserk From Soft game. Don't get your hopes up just to be let down.

I doubt that too given tecmo just made a game but getting some story/art work from miura in from's next game would be really cool.

 

[kewlmyc]

Don't believe it for a second, but Day 1 if by some miracle it's true.

 

[K.Jack]

Dude was so excited, his brain turned to mush, and reality turned to fanfiction.

 

[Pompadour]

I'm guessing Miyazaki took everything from Berserk he liked already so he has to have Miura personally draw him new monster designs.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I can see him paying Miura to do the monster design for Bloodborne 2.

 

[Rurunaki]

So basically the game is never going to be finished because *insert hiatus/idolmaster jokes here*

 

[leroidys]

Nobody likes ugu~mbasa? Y'all are dead to me.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Is Miyazaki also into IM@S?

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Do NOT do this to me.

 

[Kalnos]

Calling bullshit.

 

[Toxi]

Idolmaster Souls

 

[AXE]

Yeah.

If this collab is true... NOTHING feels like anything afterwards.

I'm not holding my breath but the idea made me smile.

 

[BBboy20]

We live in the age of dreams and even I find this to be too good to be true.

 

[Ninjimbo]

I would rather have Miura get back to drawing Berserk. Miura can give Miyazaki some ideas, draw some shit, and then proceed to leave Miyazaki alone and let him make the game.

 

[Nudull]

Please don't be Berserk. i don't want to go through that Musou awkwardness again.

 

[Hellsing321]

It's Probably a idol master game

Idol Souls would be pretty sweet

 

[Eolz]

How many people here would be mad if it's a Switch excusive?

More seriously, I'm not seeing anything concrete happening from that. Maybe just some promo art at most.

 

[Ferr986]

I don't see much of a point, unless it's a straight Berserk game, wich I'm not really interested too.

Demon/Dark Souls already borrows from Berserk and FROM artists keep showing there's no need to pay to someone else to do their designs.

Cool for Berserk fans I guess.

 

[Nibel]

FWIW dude behind the blogpost contacted me on Twitter and I assume he wants to clarify some stuff for GAF and others; will keep you guys updated once he writes back

 

[ffvorax]

Cool, but can't miura just work on the damn Berserk manga?

 

[Rymuth]

It's Probably a idol master game

For mobile.

We're done here

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I am completely lost on those Idolmaster jokes...

 

[Rymuth]

This is legit terrifying

 

[cireza]

Please finish your manga first

 

[Hypemaster]

No way I'm setting myself up for disappointment.
NO WAY!!!

 

[Frozenprince]

A mobile game with a story so in-depth that Miura has to take a break from Berserk.

If this happens so help me I will hunt you down.

Just let Casca talk again damn you! Give me this ONE THING.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

.

 

[Prototype]

This would literally be a dream project for me if its a Berserk game. One of those things I wish I could experience before I die.

It would literally make the world a bette place.


Edit :

How many people here would be mad if it's a Switch excusive?

More seriously, I'm not seeing anything concrete happening from that. Maybe just some promo art at most.

This could be the *one* and only game that could get me to buy Nintendo hardware.

 

[Chobel]

Please be true.

 

[Gynemaniac]

Never read the manga or watched the anime/movies for Berserk, but you're damn right I'd buy this day one if this rumor is true.

 

[Kain]

Considering the Souls series draws so much inspiration from Berserk, this would be a logical and perfect move. Just imagine the Eclipse, god damn.

 

[BBboy20]

Now you have my attention.

 

[DMONKUMA]

FWIW dude behind the blogpost contacted me on Twitter and I assume he wants to clarify some stuff for GAF and others; will keep you guys updated once he writes back

Would be good to know some more about this whole situation.

 

[Sebastiano]

FWIW dude behind the blogpost contacted me on Twitter and I assume he wants to clarify some stuff for GAF and others; will keep you guys updated once he writes back

We count on you!

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

FWIW dude behind the blogpost contacted me on Twitter and I assume he wants to clarify some stuff for GAF and others; will keep you guys updated once he writes back

Hmm....

 

[DrunkShogun]

FWIW dude behind the blogpost contacted me on Twitter and I assume he wants to clarify some stuff for GAF and others; will keep you guys updated once he writes back

Sounds like he either spoke too much or wants to control any false hype he has created. I'm imagining the update to be that susumu hirasawa was in the back drinking coffee with the Fromsoft employees.

 

[orochi91]

Unless it's a Bloodborne sequel, I can't muster much enthusiasm for whatever this is.

 

[SENPAIatLARGE]

Unless it's a Bloodborne sequel, I can't muster much enthusiasm for whatever this is.

This post is bad and you should feel bad about it. Miura is a legendary artist whose work inspired bloddborne and dark souls.

 

[meltingparappa]

FWIW dude behind the blogpost contacted me on Twitter and I assume he wants to clarify some stuff for GAF and others; will keep you guys updated once he writes back

I hope he finds a way to spin this in a direction that's positive for him, because he knows he fucked up, right?

Get let into a studio as a nobody without a shred of self-awareness, via sheer generosity -> immediately publicly betray the trust of his heroes.

That's probably the last time Fromsoft will ever be that kind to anyone showing up on their doorstep.

 

[Taruranto]

Idolmaster RPG by FROM confirmed.

Edita: Ninja'd by first reply, should have read past the OP.

 

[EvilKatarn]

I am completely lost on those Idolmaster jokes...

Don't even bother. It's a stupid meme only perpetuated by cretins.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Don't even bother. It's a stupid meme only perpetuated by cretins.

It's not in the slightest bit funny anymore. It's so played out its just become really annoying now.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

HOLY FUCKING FLYING TAP DANCING SHIT BATMAN!

Its going to be a Gigantomakia game lol

Edit: Not that would be a bad thing either

i enjoyed Gigantomakia a lot so i would ok with that.


taking the feedback from KT's Berserk game, i hope they didnt blew any chance to make repairs.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

OK, If this turns out to a Berserk Souls game I will sell my soul to obtain it.
