Berserk

[t3a3n3k3s2]

I know there was a thread somewhere for this but I cannot find it. Maybe it got lost with the forum renovations going on?


Anyway I just finished Berserk and really enjoyed it. Not just a mindless splatterfest but actually made me feel something for some of the characters, (or maybe just Caska nude ). For me it was the type of series that while I was watching an episode I was really into it but it didn't have me racing for the computer when I got home to watch the next one, if that makes sense. But all up pretty good.


Until the last 2 episodes. That has to be the worst ending to any anime that I have ever seen. It was like watching a different series altogether. Yes it tied up some of the loose enRAB from the start but to me it ended up asking more questions than it answered. After the end it left me pretty disappointed. Everything up until those last 2 episodes was really good though which just made the disappointment worse.

Well that's what I thought anyway.

You need to read the manga.
Much of the story is left out in the anime series.

Our friend Wikipedia suggested the same thing. As far as the anime goes I think they could have done it a bit better.

manga was great.

But gawd BlooRABplaterring

Yeah, the anime doesn't get too far into it before the last couple episodes, but if you read the manga, you'll see that the last two episodes most closely reserable the world that this story is set in.

Now that sounRAB interesting. If I read the manga should I start from the beginning as the anime missed important bits? Or is it possible to start from the rough vicinity of the ending of the anime and catch on???

It seems the manga will have to be read if I want closure on this.

Read from the start, not only because of important tidbits that got cut, but because you'll enjoy what you sort of already saw even more.

Note: The first three volumes start after the Hawks story like the first aniem episode, They're a little tedious but don't worry.

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks all for the input.

The Anime and Manga are both classics. The manga is so awesome. The manga-only characters are great.

Well this is shaping up to be the first Manga series I read so I do hope it will be awesome. IMO the Anime had the potential to be awesome but just fell short of the mark.
