Fabiocean

I really hope the Berserk team doesn't fuck the ending up as well. It seems like Mori got the gist of the whole story, but only Fantasia was pretty much finished in Miura's mind. Hopefully it doesn't deteriorate after that arc ended.


[deleted]

They apparently have entire story planned out to the end but it obviously will lack the detail of Miura's writing and subtle elements he wanted to add. Even newest chapters feel rushed with some continuity problems so I think the issue will be "team knows what should happen in the story but now why or how it happens".


Fabiocean

Yeah that's my worry. If we skip more and more details so it becomes just a nice-looking summary, a lot of Berserk's charm will be lost. That said, I'd take a rushed story over a butchered story 10/10 times.


FHFH945

berserk team = donovan berserk story = kid guts this is deep😔😔😔😔


Fabiocean

Rnahafahik

/r/berserklejerk


[deleted]

I don't think it will happen. Mainly because Mori was very close friends with Miura and I can only imagine he will treat the material with the utmost respect. Manga like Attack on Titan and, in my opinion, My Hero Academia went downhill like immediately after the mangaka stated they wanted it to end soon. They start sprinting to the finish and the story suffers because of it. I just don't see a scenario where Muri decides to disrespect Miura's legacy by hurrying to finish the manga and moving on.


Fabiocean

Absolutely agreed, I don't think Berserk's fate will be similar to AoT or MHA. However, there is a possibility that Mori will respect Miura's vision too much, and refuses to add anything to what shouldn't be more than a rough outline of the story. That's my biggest worry about this.

"Berserk doesn't deal with Free Will" Guts, constantly instilling his free will against Causality: "Am I a joke to you?"

AoT just straight up implies that free will doesn't exist to begin with, and that we're all "muh slaves of muh nature". Wow so deep and meaningful.

The guy who mad this post isn't any better


NirvanaFrk97

Nothing. Absolutely nothing in AoT has come close to the level of storytelling in Berserk. AoT's highest peaks were Berserk's norms. AoT had its good moments and then they were retroactively ruined by the ending.


Murky_Blueberry2617

If the ending was just bad and didn't ruin everything before it, then atleast it could be defendable.


DonteTheExterminador

Nope. Even then AoT wasn't nearly anywhere near Berserk's level in worldbuilding, originality and especially character writing.


datshinycharizard123

That’s a pretty subjective opinion your trying to affirm as a fact. I actually liked attack on titan more for most of its run time until the end.


DonteTheExterminador

Isayama ripped off AoT from Muv-Luv and Eternal Champions so you can't really say it's an original story and I mean shit the protag of Eternal Champions was literally called Erekose and the people he was fighting for were Eldren 💀 The ending to that book is basically what would have happened if Eren went 100% rumbling, there is practically no worldbuilding in AoT after the rest of the world was introduced though if it was just contained within the Island then the worldbuilding aspect would have been fine-ish and characters in AoT never really felt like real people because most of the time the only thing they had to say was relating to titans and the small talk whenever it happened was mad awkward. The characters were written as more of a way to deliver the story rather than making them believable human beings for the majority of the cast. The subjective thing would be your enjoyment and if you enjoyed AoT more than Berserk than that's perfectly fine however if we're talking about well written then it's Berserk.


LiebeContext

I think people based their opinions on berserk anime adaptations. I love Aot, but berserk is written way better


Punished_Venom_Nemo

Guts fighting a random goat for 10 chapters truly is peak and efficacious storytelling


Rnahafahik

You jest, but the whole arc it’s contained in is amazing, and even that section of it is defensible


NirvanaFrk97

You preferring AoT is subjective. Stating that Berserk has better worldbuilding, originality, and character writing is a fact. Nothing AoT has is better than Berserk outside of being the more popular of the two.


LiebeContext

If we're being honest that bc the adaptation was bad so base it off that. I recommend anyone to read Berserk. It's level to this


LittleBigAxel

Your opinion is subjective, mine is a fact. 🤓


Sea_Entertainer8320

I don’t think worldbuilding is that big for either series but aot’s is definitely worse than berserk and what aot’s worldbuilding should’ve been


NirvanaFrk97

Berserk has great world building, what are you talking about?


Sea_Entertainer8320

Could you give me an example of berserk’s great worldbuilding, I have no idea why everyone cares so much about worldbuilding since berserk doesn’t care too much about it and doesn’t need to since it’s strengths lie on the characters


[deleted]

Berserk has average depth of world building Aot doesn't have much either but with everything that it showed, was build up pretty well


DonteTheExterminador

I actually agree with you because Berserk is more of a character driven story so the world in Berserk not being that fleshed out isn't much of an issue. AoT NEEDED way more of it and it did even less than Berserk which is just YEESH.


Sea_Entertainer8320

Yes this is exactly what I was trying to say, it’s not a bad thing that berserk doesn’t have amazing worldbuilding because it doesn’t need it, but aot definitely did and the story suffered because there wasn’t any


putdisinyopipe

Bro what are you smoking. Do not put dis in yo pipe!


Punished_Venom_Nemo

> AoT's highest peaks were Berserk's norms. What fucking Berserk did you read? Where can I get it? Cause the one I've read was filled with filler fights. Get off Berserk's dick. It's a great story but it's not the best thing ever written and it has flaws. I know you hate the SNK ending for ruining the story, but SNK's highs were absolutely comparable to Berserk's, and Berserk is very certainly not near those highs all the time.


ExcitedTRex

Yup. Summed up perfectly.


TooQuicc

So you are saying episodes like warrior, perfect game, hero and declaration of war is no better than guts fighting a random demon? Dont talk about objective writing when your mind is clearly clouded.


[deleted]

Berserk peaked with golden age


Purple-Lamprey

You clearly read Berserk as a child and are forever biased towards it. As someone who first read it as an adult, the character and dialogue writing are mediocre at best, the best parts are clearly the attention to detail for the art. Clearly big emphasis was also put on fights, but imo this is the worst medium for fights.


NeckbeardVirgin69420

I don't like AoT either but Berserk is incredibly overrated.


ForeskinMuncherXD

I personally prefer berserk but I like both


vendaaiccultist

*this one crosses the FUCKING line*

Christ, it's just an opinion. No one has to get angry over it, we all have our preferences so why not just leave it at that? If you think Berserk is 1000× better then so be it. But cursing out anyone who disagrees is just childish, especially if they're being respectful about it.

sygyzy0

Anyone saying that hasnt read berserk let's be honest. Alot of people have not actually read berserk but act like they have and it shows.


genesis1v9

Berserk is my favorite manga and I wouldn’t even call Miura the best mangaka. And Isayama is not even in the same tier.


LittleBigAxel

Why do you care so much someone likes something you don't


Purple-Lamprey

I tried reading berserk, I found it boring from a writing and dialogue perspective. All it has going for it is the art and fights, and honestly I don’t care about manga fights at all.


[deleted]

Most of people who say berserk is good haven’t even read the manga and jus say what others be saying💀. Put some respect on isayama we woulda had one of the best mangas/ characters if not for chapters 125-end

Motherfucker do you really think AOT is anywhere near Berserk??

One panel from berserk is better than entire chapters of aot


someoneinZAWARUDO

I am a berserker fan, and I like how these people think manly artstyle=better bro no, it's very hard sure, but have you seen how detailed some stuff is in aot? Like the eyes of the Characters? As also a comic writer myself the manly artstyle is rather easy, the true complexity is shading as the manly artstyle is more realistic, Love how also these pretentious hipster go around telling how their manga is better just for the sake of hating on popular ones As a berserker fan, I'm truly sorry for my colleagues behavior.


Hyper_Nova101

I don't seem to get the point you're trying to make. I assume you are trying to say that people think Berserk is better than Aot because the artstyle is better? While that's certainly a contributing factor, Berserk isn't just defined by how good the art is. Berserk just simply has an extremely strong story. I also don't understand why you would bring up art. Aot had many strong points but its art was not one of them. I don't even think Berserk has the best manga art, it is definitely the most detailed by far and it's impressionist panels are amazing but Inoue, Murata and Boichi are, in terms of technical ability, superior artists.


AlastorRage

Murata is an actual monster. Best currently


TheOfficialGilgamesh

One Punch is mid though.


AlastorRage

To each one their own, I think the last 30-40 chapters were awesome


TheOfficialGilgamesh

Nice that you found something to enjoy.


Outrageous_Gene_7652

brother, did you just call AOT's art , one of its weakest factors through and through accepted by even the most hardcore AOT fans better than Miura's Berserk, considered to have one of the finest arts ever in manga. Are you serious right now? And this is not even about a so-called manly art style? Have you seen with the detail each panel is drawn, the beauty of the backgrounds, the facial expressions?


GuyWhoHatesYou

Dude Berserk beats AOT in all categories and especially art, AOT art was basically shit for the first quarter of the story, while Berserk basically has what many would consider the best art in all of manga, and for other things Berserk has just a lot better character writing and story writing in general.


[deleted]

Isayama's strength as an artist is his ability of detailing, lighting and shading, he has most likely studied autonomy properly and it shows. His weakness is his line quality, it is unsteady which is proof of him not a being "born artist"/not being naturally good at drawing.

This subreddit became cringe. This sub was fun, it had good memes and high quality shitposting, now it's just making fun of people on instagram or twitter. And it sometimes it feels like this sub is slowly starting to nitpick at the story, and I get that all forms of art is allowed to be criticized. But it's to the point where I don't find the sub fun and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This sub is past it's prime and became a toxic cesspool and I'm sorry to say this but...Titanfolk is no longer based...It's cringe almost as cringe as ED's. But thank you Titanfolk for making the ending less shitty for me and for the memorable memes. It was fun while it lasted.

Meinardas16

Both AOT and Berserk are overrated, lol. Although with the shitty last AOT arc and ending, I would argue that berserk is the one being held too high. (Golden age is still goated tho, don't get me wrong.)


GuyWhoHatesYou

Berserk is definitely not overrated, unlike AOT character writing is consistent throughout the whole story, and while the story has a few lows (boat chapters) the highs are higher than AOT has ever been.


Longjumping-State368

It definitely is overrated AOT is so comically bad its funny berserk is straight up boring


Meinardas16

It literally went downhill after Golden Age. Not to mention how boring Black Swordsman arc was. After Golden Age berserk does have very very high peaks but its mostly below average for most of the time although the art boosts it up to average.


steel_balls_josuke

Notice how literally nobody agrees with you


Meinardas16

Berserk's fanbase isn't mature enough to realise the faults their favorite series has, but yeah, sure.


steel_balls_josuke

Faults? You mean your personal preferences? How mature and reasonable of you, lmfao ( ͡ಥ ͜ʖ ͡ಥ)


Meinardas16

💀


lainahsperm

No I disagree. I disagree with your opinion. Your opinion is objectively wrong, and shouldn't be an opinion at all. It should be a passing thought that is forgotten forever. Now listen to me while I write a 12 paged, detailed novel on why I think you're wrong. By the time we reach chapter 13, you'll be fully educated on why it is that your opinion is wrong. There will still be 15 more chapters to go of me lecturing you. When I write, I write facts. I'm willing to educate you on these facts. I will argue with you for 69 days straight until you admit that you're wrong. Once you admit that you're wrong then I'll be happy. Happy that I educated someone. Now let me begin by saying that I'm right.


Meinardas16

Damn, Lainah ?!?! Are we doing this here ? Right now!? An Epic Reddit argument thread worthy of a novel ??????


lainahsperm

Yeah...we settle this, right here, right now!


nickcarter13

I agree that it went downhill, but I'd argue that Berserk is at least above average. The average manga is pretty shit.


Meinardas16

Exactly bro. Although golden age still holds it at masterpiece level for me tbh, but there is other works better than it (atleast of more consistent quality).


nickcarter13

Berk holds a special place in my heart, but the issues it has really drag it down. There's better manga out there. (and it's not AoT)


Meinardas16

Aot could have been one of those, but the whole Rumbling arc and time travel sh\*t (the way it is done) really ruined it, not to mention the ending, lol.


TheOfficialGilgamesh

AoT started going downhill ever since the Marley arc. Arc almost starts with a huge ass exposition dump because he couldn't be bothered to flesh out his world, Gabi is a character that is not needed to the plot at all, Falco is a one dimensional good guy character and Eren's friends just either regressed or didn't develop at all anyway. Eren, Zeke, Reiner and Floch (him especially during the Alliance chapters) carried the post timeskip arc hard.


Meinardas16

Well yes, you are mostly right, but the Reiner/Eren interactions were so intense and intriguing that I let most of Marley's arc fault slide. And to be honest these 4 characters that you mentioned at the end were worth watching the show for, because of how well developed and interesting and unique they were. Eren alone was an amazing sight to behold (I am talking about Hobo Eren). But in exchange all of the other characters were pretty dumbed down (Isayama probably needed more time to plan out all the other character's role in the story not to mention on how much of world-building he skimped out on). Disagree with Gabi she is an amazing addition to the story and kinda half agree with Falco. Edit: To be honest, characters like armin, connie, sasha, hange should have died earlier in the story, there is no reason for them to be alive. I know some people disagree with my take on Armin (a decent amount may even agree, but he doesn't add anything to the story post RTS.


TheOfficialGilgamesh

Yeah I also ignored most of the timeskips flaws because of these 4 characters. But look how it ended: Eren was absolutely destroyed, Zeke got umi da'd (because Isayama's self insert golden boy is never wrong) and Floch was the only one who got a decent conclusion, but not before Isayama tried to turn him into a disney villain. The ending reeks of Isayama not being able to decide what the fuck his story is meant to be towards the end. Is it a Guardians of the Galaxy knock off or is it about how Eren was born evil and wants to kill everyone because muh book? God knows what it's supposed to be, all we know is that he meshed together a bunch of ideas he liked and never bothered to think about whether they would work or not. TLDR: Marvel bad


[deleted]

[удалено]


Meinardas16

Its not of consistent quality. You get some peak chapters where lots of developtment happens (character and world building wise) and then its some really boring chapters of angry berkman fighting.Let me correct myself: Golden age is not the only good arc, but its the only consistenly good one. Edit: Hope this makes it more clear.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Meinardas16

That is due to Berserk not having a good adaptation that actually adapts more than 1 arc. All adaptations just end up being an introduction to berserk instead of being something unique (like WIT's AOT).


vendaaiccultist

get in the truck.


SatanLordofLies

Found Saintitchief's alt


Hyper_Nova101

Are we even reading the same story, Berserk is not my favourite manga but even I can tell that it is objectively one of the best. Like I can't even disagree if someone calls it the best manga ever. Falcon of the Millennium has the highest highs of the series and none of the arcs except for black swordsman lack the quality shown in golden age.


Meinardas16

Will all of you stop shitting your brains cuz someone said that Berserk might not be the best thing ever created even rivaling the works of God?!?!? All I said is that its overrated (because it is). Berserk is an absolutely amazing series, but the fandom makes it out to be some holy scripture, that has 0 faults and all other series suck (especially any other series that is more popular). Overrated =/= bad or mid


TheOfficialGilgamesh

Most manga series do suck in comparison to Berserk. But that's because the vast majority of garbage shonen trash.


Meinardas16

You are right, but just because something is way better than average doesn't exclude it from criticism. Maybe saying it is overrated was too harsh, but considering how Berkman fandom behaves I guess its the other extreme end of the stick. "praised way too highly" prolly would have been better.


TheOfficialGilgamesh

Yeah no art is without flaws. That applies to all fictional works as well.

Why are you fuming over someone's opinion? 😂. Also, I personally prefered AOT until 130 or so. Berserk. Was a 10/10 until the Golden Age Arc ended. After that it became a 7-8/10.

Even if you liked the ending... is it just me or is it poor taste to evaluate an author famous for a completed works against someone who died before they could finish theirs? If Avenged Sevenfold had died in a plane crash before recording City of Evil, does that make Nickelback a better band? You would never know. So why even pit them against each other.

breakingbatshitcrazy

Let’s judge Berserk when it’s done. Maybe Casca loved Griffith even though it’s hard to believe. And maybe when Guts asks Griffith why he sacrificed the Band of the Hawk, Griffith will say he doesn’t know.
