@@100percenttothe3 i'd say berserk 1997 is worth watching, havent watched the golden arc animation. From what i heard the end part is better in golden arc (the newer one), but time spend with the characters is better in 1997 version. This is only what i have heard though
Will it happen? Will a big studio see the true potential of this manga, even if it is not over? I just finished reading it and I love the ending Miura gave us before passing out. A great anime adaptation would be such a success!
What makes the Golden Age arc so tragic is that you feel as if anything is possible including a happy ending. But then the Eclipse came and destroyed everything forever setting Guts on the path of conflict.
Actually what makes the tragedy in Golden Age work so well, like the highest form of tragic storytelling does, is that it all was foretold to happen. Not just by the fact that the Black Swordsman arc beforehand showed Griffith as a Godhand with the Behelit, not just Zodd's proclamation that the band was going to be sacrificed for Griffith's ambition, but also how Guts's childhood itself went; he started with nothing, found some connection and even went through major abuse to maintain that connection until it all falls apart and he remains alone again with only his rage and instinct to survive keeping him living. We truly hoped Guts would not go through that type of tragedy again when he found the Band of the Hawk even when all this evidence clearly pointed to the opposite. Miura's writing is something else if it can make you hope/care like that, even towards the inevitable.
the part that really gets me is the rage of guts during and after the eclipse. he was angry and violent on the battlefield in the golden age ark but after the eclipse is just an unending fire that controls him nearly the entirety of the manga. completely changes him
Dude... The Casca's flashback being a child all bruised and covered in blood being saved by Griffith, just to be abused by him... Something inside me just broke
that part is what sticks with me about this story, my ex showed me Berserk and I can safely say that was the only good thing that came from that relationship. Berserk easily became one of my favorite series ever, I'm reading the manga myself, and the eclipse broke me along with just watching what Griffith sacrificed to get power.. he's the villain I hate to like at this point, because he's so complex, but I feel so bad for Casca
After completing Berserk I just couldn't stop thinking about what Kentaro Miura had gone through to have such a wild and mysterious imagination......RIP legend!
He actually based Guts and Griffits dynamic off his own experience with himself and his friends. Besides that some Devilman influence and observing humanity as a whole lol
It would be one of the biggest tv series, not just anime. I’m sure none anime fans would love to watch if it got the full fledged adaptation it deserves. I just wish if there was a way us fans would’ve help making that dream come true.
I had a dream. Under the full moon I was a child embraced by a nostalgic warmth. But when I wake up after the dream only a vague sense on longing remains. That too will soon disappear, with a single tear, like morning dew.
I’m not sure. As a writer I’m afraid of sudden death and that I won’t finish my text. I think Kentaro also regretted about this. Because it feels like the story wants to born in this world through you. But maybe he smiled because he has tall the story to his mangaka friend. And because of tough destiny who killed him though he lived his life just to give us Berserk.
The roughest part for me is when the young boy keeps telling Griffith that he hadn't got his castle yet and to acquire it he had to pile the bodies higher. A brutally tragic tale but one of the best in my opinion.
@@sonofsparda7 tbh brother, I doubt its gonna happen. I think it being as grimdark a story as it is, griffith will still continue to rule midland with him permenantly in a battle against skull knight, with guts dead.
It was a peaceful ending. Griffith got his kingdom, though regretful. Casca turned back to normal and and became a family with Guts and their moon child. But I understand people wanting to consume more.
I literally cannot watch this. The song and the manga hold such a weight for me that I would simply breakdown. I have seen about 15 seconds and already can feel tears coming down my face. Hope everyone is doing great in these times :')
Griffith. The only villain i can't truly hate but i can't truly like either. Damn.. The more i think of every aspect of berserk.. It's overwhelming. Truly a masterpiece. R.I.P Miura Edit: Ah, Finally.. The moment of truth has come. Berserk is back. They will release this june 24. Here's to hoping they'll deliver faithfully.
@@jonathanjoestar3923 He did but I can imagine after being in prison for so long having your tongue and genitals mutilated, every important tendon in your body severed, bathed every day in boiling water, knowing you can never recover, being jealous of Casca and Guts’ relationship, and seeing they don’t need you anymore while being helpless that it would be pretty tempting to get a fresh start and get the kingdom you dedicated your life to obtaining. He’s a piece of shit that deserves to die, but his 2 options at that point were basically end it all and kill himself or start life over as a god among men
The fact he went through such mind shattering torture and lost his dream he was so close to achieving after all the hard work he put in for it I can’t help but feel bad but the rape of casca was pure evil and inexcusable, atelast the sacrifices were necessary, but casas rape was purely done out of jealousy and spite
Any series that has a long drama like this goes so well with this song, when it makes you feel so many emotions, Berserk is a great example of one of those top series, its just so amazing
R.I.P. Kentaro your work was the best thing to ever happen to me. Made me a better person and I will continue to struggle no matter what because of you.
Everything since the beginning of time led to the creation of this perfect video. You chose all the right clips and the right song to create this masterpiece. I'm so happy I came across this.
Berserk will forever be one of the most greatest manga's I've ever read, seriously goated, from artwork to storyline everything is just truly a masterpiece, everytime i see something related to it just keeps reminds me how amazing of a journey it was reading it, thank you kentaro miura, truly a legend
Yeah i easily loved 97 the most especially the animation for it, the only issues I ever had with it was the lack of it fully lining up with what arcs it went over.
Im surprised how good of a AMV ppl can make with what we have from berserk anime, always makes me sad that chances are we will never get a all of the manga animated at the quality it deserves
This gives the Golden Age Arc a dream-like feel, which really fits when you consider how long ago it completed in the Manga and IRL, esp. when compared to the events that followed it's end. Great Vid!
I thought the line "somewhere in these eyes im by your side" really reflects how we see Griffith at the end of the manga as he looks to have feelings for Guts and Casca and probably wonders how things could've been different. We've heard Griffith say that he is freed of emotion from Guts but we also see him hide his true emotions from Casca when he tears into his arm
''Why should i regret anything at this point? there's no use in repenting for my sins it will make no difference there's nothing i can give back the dead to undo what i have done this is my chosen path if i let myself feel regret or remorse it could all slip away.'' - griffith
@@shriefallam8866 sorry for the late reply but i cant quite remember, all i remember is seeing that message in an edit and decided to write it down my self
Berserk, one of and if not the only manga to be so god damn phenomenal, of course there are plenty of manga to be absolutely amazing, but in my opinion, berserk is in a realm of its own, nothing comes close, and to think that we will never see the end will be something I think about until the day I die, thank you Kentaro Miura, for creating such a fucking masterpiece.
This comment, just this feeling... wordless! Berserk made a pit in my mind, a hole where i found out meaning of many conflicts inside my own. And i start reading up it in the initials days of May 2021, 'cause since my childhood i've admired and feared this manga, SOMETHING I CANNOT EXPLAIN... And in this time, i was in home due apendix surgery, and when i finished The Golden arch, and go on, on 21 of may i've truly learned that this pit is botomless... for-ever. Be brave fellow struglers! You are not alone! Tks Kentaro Miura, you have my greatfully admirations. And @mar.9807 you discribed some sort of my feelings after that day and now... RIP great Kentaro Miura.
I feel like if they did 4 or 5 movies with more budget and time it would've been amazing, some scenes like 1:14 to 1:30 are so insanely gorgeous and i feel like studio 4c just needed more time and money, shame
This song legit just made a grown ass man shed a tear watching this is emotional looking back and remembering all that is both the happiest and saddest moment of my life
As someone who has inspired people to reach heights far greater than my own, I can understand the internal struggle within Griffith. Not saying I agree with what he did, but I can understand it. It's a painful thing to see them move forward while you keep tripping over that damn rock in your path.
I have more in common with guts. Struggling to find myself in this world, a life without a dream or purpose. Sometimes, I wish I can be ambitious as Griffith but I ended up being on the struggler mode ....
I've watched this multiple times in multiple days, The song choice, the scene choice. It makes me truly wish for an animated series more so than prior moments of my life. Yeah, I've always wanted it, but imagine a day where we got THIS imagery without all the unnecessary CGI? I think the trilogies are great, but I can only imagine, I suppose.
Berserk is an amazing manga/anime. I always wanted to get into it but never had time until recently. I started with the 97 anime then the movies. The thing was both endings still left me in tears. I felt like I was guts, being betrayed by someone I thought was amazing and so great. Griffith and his stance on life and people's dreams was so inspirational, but when everything went sideways for him, the dream shattered. this series will always be the greatest and the golden age arc will forever have an impact.
You know I keep coming back to this every while and it just hurts. I don’t know I feel like I understand the hurt that guts feels, but I’m hurting differently. I’m just alone.
Even though people criticize the animated shows, I still feel like the emotion is still there. They still tell a good story, for me it still makes them great. Still hold out hope for a faithful adaptation though.
omg, this is best edit i have seen music, video sequence, frame selection, dynamic emotion... I didn't just see the emotions I already knew, but I discovered them from the other angle - deeper and more sincere, as if I looked beyond the visible side of the characters' souls, previously hiding in the shadows. Thank you so much for your look at editы and for creating this masterpiece
