Don't worry, we probably won't get another season of Berserk.

We'll get an original ending via a movie.

"You knows Guts, the real Behelit were the friends we made along the way."

Spoiler

I worry Berserk might actually end like that...

 

[caliph95]

Original ending for movies are not bad there is the Death Note one which avoided the last third or half of it

 

[cntr]

Miura has said that Berserk will have a happy/bittersweet ending 'cause it'd make him sad to give Guts a bad ending after all he's been through.

...probably not gonna be that, though.

 

[caliph95]

So the predictable ending would be someone dies to stop God's Hand and maybe Guts dies with a smile.

 

[cntr]

I doubt Berserk's ending is going to be very predictable or straight-forward.

I like persona q a lot

 

[Morlas]

i know people say that they watered down the characters in persona q but i liked seeing all of them interact with each other, especially Kanji and Ken. I think Kanji makes a great older brother figure.

 

[ckohler]

I like persona q a lot

I haven't played it but I LOVE the opening animation.

Persona music is p. good.

So Wiki'ing HxH ahead alittle, after this arc this is really the last time we see Kurapika in the anime huh?

Spoiler

I think he is seen for a couple seconds in the last episode, but yeah pretty much.

 

[Man God]

He's a bit player in the final anime arc.

 

[Seda]

do these count as spoilers?

HxH's storyline is a bit more concise than I imagined. And yes I know we have like 100 episodes left plus manga content

 

[cntr]

they're kind of spoilers.

and yeah, HxH is shorter than you'd think, in a way

 

[gamerguy2002]

Spoiler

I think he is seen for a couple seconds in the last episode, but yeah pretty much.

Spoiler

Wow, so they kind of drop him like a lead weight after this. crazy, I mean yeah he got one of his goals accomplished and defeated the phantom troupe but I'd think he'd stick around and be a support for Gon after this arc but from the sounds of it he just disappears and is rarely heard from after this. for the anime to almost completely forget about him makes his build up to this point seem a bit pointless.

We give Sasuke shit allot for being a Kurapika clone but at least his arc didn't end in a few seasons. but from what I'm reading at least he makes a somewhat comeback in the manga but I'm going way too far ahead so I'm going to stop.

The only time the pacing is even remotely slow is the longest arc in the series that will take up most of the remaining run of the series.

He returns in the manga and is one of the main characters with Gon and Killua now side lined and out of the picture.

His arc technically isn't done. It's just that his goals and the narrative with Gon and Killua don't exactly intersect after this. They're all friends, Kurapika is still a support for Gon, it's just that Kurapika has his own set of goals and responsibilities that keep him from being with Gon all the time. Unlike Killua, Kurapika knows what he has to do with his life so he can't just always be there.

The only time the pacing is even remotely slow is the longest arc in the series that will take up most of the remaining run of the series.

I don't know how people are going to survive that arc with one ep a week pacing.

The arc where the true main character finally gets his chance to shine, the narrator! (Not making fun of the arc, I adore it to death).

I'll be capering and prancing and doing a jig when Crap Puka no longer darkens my doorstep. Only a few more weeks.

Man I was expecting you to throw a huge

"Kurapika is no longer in the anime"

party!

 

[TheSun]

The Berserk anime is presumably dirt cheap, and there are people in Japan who watch it to hate it like we do, and it drives sales of the manga and merchandise out of disbelief...

So, logicallly...

Huh, sounds like Japan has their own Johnny Test.

So definitely another season.

 

[cntr]

Togashi was probably going for a system where instead of having every arc focus on all four of the main characters, he'd choose one or two and focus the arc on them.

His health collapsing and HxH going on its hiatuses put a damper on that, but it wasn't meant to be bye to Kurapika forever. HxH, if you discount all the hiatuses, is not that long.

Spoiler

Which is why he actually comes back now that Togashi is getting into a new arc.

 

[BatDan]

To give you an idea how short HxH is. The latest chapter was 361. In One Piece, 361 was during Water 7. Before they went to Enies Lobby. Yeah...

 

[cntr]

If Togashi never took a break from when HxH began in 1998 (and he took a decent amount even in the early years), he would've published Chapter 361 around...2007. And we'd be at about Chapter 930 today.

 

[HStallion]

Didn't Togashi say he had ideas for like 5 arcs after the

Chimera Ants?

 

[Morlas]

Oda is a freaking machine how he just keeps chugging along after all these years

 

[cntr]

Haven't heard of that, but Togashi's totally the kind of guy to plan several arcs ahead.

Oda is a freaking machine how he just keeps chugging along after all these years

They force him to take a break every four weeks so he doesn't die

In a 2011 interview with Oda:

•Oda: How far has arrived Hunter x Hunter? In half?

•Togashi: Hard to say. I still have five or six stories in mind. If all goes as planned, there should be at least four or five sagas after that of Chimera arc. But over time unexpected events that mess up your plans. However, One Piece is more than half?

•Oda: Yes, I think I go a bit 'faster. When a story is almost over, I'm already thinking about the following story for my readers, so the story goes a little faster.

 

[HStallion]

Moana is on Netflix. It really surprised me how good it was and as someone of a large part Polynesian descent it was really cool to see a movie with the culture as its theme.

Wait, you mean Harry Osborn right? (Amazing Spider-Man #509 spoilers I guess.)

I think I can picture about 3 of the stories Togashi has in mind, not including the current arc, and I want to read all of them.

You are not wrong. Are there color versions of the manga?

Maybe the twist is next season will be developed by Shaft and have a competent director, screenplay writer and other positions! Just think about it, Guts giving 10 minute long witty conversations all the while having his head stuck in the "shaft" head tilt position!
