Berserk The Greatest Manga Of All Time 

I'm starting to believe that The Masked Man is a Berserk fan

My favorite part of berserk is how you can just keep re-reading and with each re-read you notice and perceive things that you didn't in your previous read.

Guys, i think this guy like Berserk (Just a theory)

You would get a 100 easy if this was a school assignment

Everyone needs to experience the masterpiece that is Berserk.

One of the things I REALLY like about berserk, is the duality between guts and Griffith, one is described as an angel, a holy being, when in reality, they are the devil incarnate, the other is portrayed as a demon ever since they were born, but is actually just a struggling human who wants to have peace but simply cannot

19:24 "They always think the good guy is the protagonist" Exactly, great point, Eren is still technically the protagonist of AoT, after everything he's done (Which I won't spoil for the anime onlys)

Criminally underrated channel. Hope all this strike drama gets resolved ASAP

1:42- Artwork 3:07- Plot/Narrative 8:24- Themes 10:24- Worldbuilding 11:21- Lore 14:29- Side Characters 19:18- Protagonist 31:13- Antagonist

This is proof that you truly love this series the amount of effort and care you put into the video I can feel from here. Have a blessed day man and keep doing what your doing

19:17 When Guts Theme Kicks In

Another tip: Don’t be insane like Oda and Kishimoto and try to meet the deadlines every week for 12+ years straight.

I’m currently barely reading Berserk. I think I’m about only 55 pages in and I already love it. Also, Guts has always caught my attention even before ever reading it. He’s just such a cool ass looking character. Great video!

Miura died and we may never see the end of this story

Take a moment and think about the fact that there is someone out there who doesn't know berserk exists.

Every aspiring manga creator is happy to have videos like this.

First. Btw, as an artist that is trying to make his own manga/comic series, getting advice on how to write a good manga from the Masked Man himself is truly helpful. Keep doing what your doing man, I love your stuff👍👍

This is a bit of a backhanded compliment. I've watched some of your videos, becouse there's not too many channels revolving around manga and it's great to see some discussions going. There's a lot i've disagreed with before and a lot of the time you haven't really gone in depth in your videos. This one was really good though! There's definitely a lot more effort put into this one. You delved into a lot of different aspects, while giving your personal take on it. Really enjoyable watch, i hope you do more like this in the future!

Greatest story ever told. Berserk stands alone. It's an A+ in every category.

I never had experience and be so immersed in a story other than Berserk

Guts is my hero, I've gone through trauma, obviously not as much as him, but I follow his lead to the end of the earth as best I can.

Nice work man. I just got into reading Berserk and I stumbled upon this video. Subscribed and will watch your content. This is not just how to write manga, but how to write in general.

Berserk is up there with the Witcher and the lord of the rings for me it’s one of the best dark fantasy stories ever created

I’ve literally been watching nothing but Berserk analysiss today

I started Berserk 10 days ago, i finished today chapter 363. I cried, I cried a lot

Greatest manga of all time

"Berserk: How To Write Manga" - you make regular releases of a great manga with a 'struggler' as the main characters, eventually posing that onto your readers making them strugglers and enteral readers of the manga, always waiting and hoping for a new chapter release.

7 years since i first read berserk and im yet to see anything that comes close to it.

Guts is surrounded by Darkness all the time, but instead of running away or getting corrupted by it, he fights back and has never given up, managed to grow and make new friends after losing everything and everyone !!!

GOAT. I love Berserk so much.

Greatest manga of all time? Piss off, one of the greatest stories in all of fiction, my friend!! Lol, but nah seriously great video! Love this channel so much and although I loved berserk before your channel opened the door for me into thr world of the Berserk community

Damn right it’s the best manga of all time, RIP Kentaro Miura

Watching one of your old videos from a year ago it's great to see how much you have grown, this is a excellent video. shame about all your youtube drama at the moment but just like Guts conflict is only a another chance to change and grow, looking forward to more videos from you :)

berserk actually helped me process a bunch of shit that i have been feeling. the idea of looking up to another human being, a person who looks down on you and doesn't see you as an equal, and then being let down by that person in the worst kind of way, leading to resentment and loss of direction. I see myself in guts, which made re-reading the series post ch 364 really cathartic. when i finished reading the story it felt like it was my turn to live my life and get past my obstacles. My turn to let myself be vulnerable and put down my resentment. shit hits hard

Never have I clicked so fast

Hey Masked I've been around on your channel since you had about 3k subs I have to say you really have grown as a creator and your intelligence really shines through with your videos I love your character development and content I hope you struggle through the copyright strikes.

Everytime I see a 30 minute + video of Berserk on the internet, my heart is filled with joy.

Just started watching and wow, Masked Man has gotten better at creating videos. This is what will make him THE manga guy on RU-vid. His thoughts are better structured and developed. Loving it. Read Usagi Yojimbo.

you kept talking about berserk so i finally started it. and oh man, I scrolled through 2 chapters since last night and I have no idea whats going on but the art, THE ART. everything is so pretty I don't think I can take it.

No better Berserk RU-vid to watch than the one and only 100% facts spitter, the king of and anime and manga ‘The Masked Man’

RIP Miura. Thank you.

Awesome video bro! I can tell you put a lot of work into it!! So good!

R.I.P. Kentaro Miura

I think the Characters on how they act and react to the World and Supporting Characters is the best thing about Berserk. I'll attempt to top it I guess.

Gonna go ahead and like this video based on the title alone. 10/10

Thank you for this video and for your channel and all that you do. Im a lover of this story and a writer as well, so i really appreciate this. Be well.

thanks for this really needed it

The madman actually did it! Please carry on making long form stuff, because this was good! I'd love to see a long form video on Monster or any of Urasawa's works, or Blame, it'd be interesting to watch (plus I just love hearing people's analyses on Monster lol).

Wonderful video bro. This must have taken a long time to make! Thank you for all the work you put into making this.

This is probably your best video in my op. Very good job!

One of my fav videos u ever made

I would love them to make a good canonical anime of berserk!

It’s like 3:30 AM in England, buh shittt, I’m still gon watch this ... when I wake up

First time reading Berserk - 100 chapters in and I’m glad I listened to your constant recommendation lol

Berserk is fucking GOATED!

I think you hit pretty much every mark as why Berserk is my #1 manga of all time. I also just started 20th Century Boys because of you my dude. You gotta do a video like this for that series.

The longer video format is much appreciated

Very good editing, script and presentation. Nice video The masked man

Struggling is what makes powerful friendships meaningful. When we are at our darkest the friends who's lives we've changed are always there for us.

Useful information now its time to use that theory as practice.

Yessss great I’m making a manga rn!!! Thank you

I just caught up to berserk and vagabond😀, my life is not complete until I get to see the beautiful ending log both of these mangas😭

This is a great video, I also agree with the point that there is a degree of "objectivity" with the logic and reasoning when viewing manga, even though it is very subjective as a whole. Berserk in many ways is the epitome of writing from this logical standard, and I can only hope future mangaka look at its aspects and attempt to emulate them

I started reading Berserk and I'm actually mad at how incredible it is. Cuz it's just ruined everything else for me by comparison.

So, Berserk, Monsters and One Piece are my favorites Manga from years and years. I love how Guts and Johann are writing. I discover your channel but sure to devour all the contain 😉

"No objective criteria my as-" That made me laugh,great video!

Berserk is up there and legendary like Akira is.... But since the creator passed away recently (RIP) i notice so many people jump on the bandwagon....... At hte end of the day, its unavoidable.... I just loathe how it takes for creators and artists to pass away before a show/album/comic really gets the love it deserves. I know people that claim berserk is their favorite anime/manga but cant name anyone other than guts, its just weird. In my humble opinion, berserk is in the same echelon as Akira and Princess Mononoke

Boys watch One Piece. Men read Berserk

Black swordsman arc got me super intrigued. Then everything felt like a reset wtih Golden Age, but i had an end point in mind that I was always looking forward to. I knew Griffith would betray Gust somehow and Guts knew him. It introduced all the crazy interdimensional shit also one of my favorite aspects of Berserk is the action. It's precise and fluid AND Guts' damage and being fatigued from a previous fight comes into play well. An injury from a wound that happened in passing mid fight , that type ot stuff

Hey man I just want to thank you for the content lately!

I would absolutely love a video in this style about Vagabond or Kingdom

One of the different plot structures can exist. There are objective criteria but it depends on what type of story you're trying to tell. But yeah great video

you should do a thematic breakdown of Berserk. Talking about the arguments and topics it covers

I don't like commenting, but this is Beserk! so I'll make an exception. I think one of the main reasons I was so into this particular series was because of how unique the relationship between Guts and Griffith was; Guts being a "struggler", with his only known motivation in the beginning being to fight for the sake of living (and vice versa), and Griffith, the "king of longing", someone who needs a reason to keep living, and an insatiable desire to achieve. They're both caught up in the hands of fate, but by becoming friends/comrades they end up finding a kind of solace in each other: Griffith giving guts a reason to fight/live, and Griffith ends up losing sight of his "kingdom" (in a good way). For a while, things are perfect. Unfortunately this is all shattered when Guts finds out Griffith can't/doesn't consider him a friend/equal because he lacks his own dream, ultimately leading to guts leaving to find one, and the fall of Griffith as well as the band of the hawk. This leads to my favorite paradox of this relationship. Despite how well things were when they and the whole crew were together, as long as guts wants to be considered a true friend to Griffith, he can't support him in his dream, or stay by his side. I think Griffith knows this, but nonetheless, doesn't want to lose guts. At the same time, relying so heavily on Guts would (based on his own standards) put him below him, so he can't pursue him either. This is why the eclipse is so important. Griffith is given the chance to regain his form (and than some), and also finds a way to hold on to Guts without losing his pride; By making him hate him. This ensures that Guts will never (really) leave him alone, as he's become his dream. Also! I would highly recommend the book Wired for Story. It mentions a lot of the tips and advice you did in your video, and I'm positive you'd like it! (assuming you haven't read it already)

just finished golden age it’s amazing its so addicting

I’m gonna read berserk after one piece is it really the best of all time

*the greatest story ever told

I’m reading berserk right now and I’m on the golden age arc around volume 8 I think and I just wanna say the art looks amazing and it builds suspense like never before with seeing Griffith in the present and the golden age arc being a flashback and stuff like that but I still fail to understand why people think it’s the best manga of all time it’s probably undoubtedly a masterpiece but what makes it better than for example that Attack On Titan because that’s something I know is a masterpiece.

I just finished it and its definitely the Greatest story I've ever read... but not my favorite because its so fk up sometimes

Berserk is my manga number 1 of all time too and nice video..

I got work in the morning but when Masked posts I watch I’m a simple man

I needed this

I’m planning to make a WEBTOON with my friends this is great timing.

how tf does this vid only have 60k views it needs so much more

I just got into this series, and mannn.

yo mask man I started reading berserk and I love it

I feel like your main character can actually have more intrigue if they can be taken out of the story and the world as a whole wouldn't change very much ( Gon, Midoriya, ect...), making them feel more relatable. But then again that depends on the how much you want the mc to be involved in world-changing events, so this is something that has to be considered on a case-to-case basis. another w video btw

Keep doing these long analysis videos please! Great mix of basic and more advanced analysis. Don’t hold off on spoilers in your analysis videos if you give proper warning

19:18 then the guts theme hits right in the good spot.

Berserk is one of the perfect seinen manga to jump in, in a hardcore way ofc.

I think you might wanna branch out into literature. There are some good stories out there for you to explore. The Conan the Barbarian stories are nice and are kinda similar to Berserk: a stoic, melancholy protagonist going up against impossible odds and indescribable monsters. The Song of Ice and Fire series is also great as well, nothing like the TV show. China Mievielle's Bas Lag trilogy also reeks of lovecraftian, bloodborne-esque vibes if you're interested something more horror oriented.

Buenísimo. Thanks Mask!

Thanks for the advice Also Berserk is my favorite manga too

Guts has inspired every character he comes across even the villains.

I've never read Berserk. Manga is hard to read for me. But i have read a few manga. (aot, 200 chapters of one piece) i've heard good things about it so i will pick up Berserk after i finish The Promised Neverland.

Without these kind analysis videos, i wouldnt try reading/understanding berserk.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Caught up to it. It pretty good. Agree.

Day one of asking for a video on the Holyland manga
