I dig that 97 concept art in the thumbnail. The full image is very beautiful and also unsettling because (even if the manga panels weren't drawn yet) it looks like it's foreshadowing post-eclipse Casca in the water, but it's still using pre-eclipse Casca.
there is this immense sadness and pity that guts puts in me every time he tries to gets close to elain and gets shut down, that even after her coming back not being able to speak or look at her without her breaking, and him being just a hound wandering in a wasteland carrying casca's tomb, at the time I couldn't help but think that the person he loved was already gone and the only thing left is a hazy memory of who she was that he is starting forgetting her piece by piece just as in the shards of the doll in the tomb. It hasn't been long sense I finished the released chapters and of all the feelings this series embodies Despair I think stands out, the fact that it ended the way it did, fit in kind of a twisted way in the strong theme of despair in berserk.
I really love your video, please keep going with videos like this cuz you have a great mind for analysis and understanding the deeper themes of it, plus it's needed since media literacy is basically dead 😭
