Berserk !! Why now ?? Just because ...

Ok so , I know that most seasoned people in anime know about berserk , and for good reason . It has been top 1st manga on myanimelist and because of that alone is with a mention in many a veteran otaku talk.

The reason I mention berserk now is because ( ahhh it's a long story but I'll tell it to you guys anyway since that's what a blog is supposed to do )

So here goes ,

This is a long time ago , my anime mentor at the time ( even though I have surpassed him now ) ((basically we were just friends who were into anime back in high  school  )) brought up berserk after a summer break saying that it was the best shit ever ( referring to the manga ) , I was  skeptical at first but I decided to give it a go .

Here's the mistake I made , 

I read the first volume from a certain site ( mangareader.net ) who have all the pages jumbled up , and so obviously nothing made sense to me and I soon dropped it at that.

After a few years ( fast forwarding to present time ) I ended up watching the trilogy movies for the show hoping that the story would be at least coherent in the animation , but I didn't expect too much from it ,

Boy was I wrong ...

I was pleasantly amazed at how fluidly the story flowed and the deep but simple character that GUTS has , more so the other main cast like CASCA , and GRIFFITH felt extremely coherent and the show had something in it that made it more addicting than twinkies .

While I have to say that the story isn't exactly for kids , people are gonna watch it anyway , and u don't give a shit about what I say (not that I care either) , but there is a lot of gore and violence not to mention other stuff , (nudge nudge , wink wink )

But all in all , it was absolutely great stuff , maybe a bit too heavy on the CG (computer graphics (for the suckers that don't know the terminology))

but the music was great , and the action was amazing , side characters a bit dull (but hey , they're side characters , no one gives a shit about them right ...(sarcasm)) 

 

The main character of this series , GUTS , does receive a special mention , since even after the three movies , we haven't even scratched the surface I how deep his character is 

" pay heed , hard times are going to befall upon you , the only way for you to survive your destiny is struggle , squirm and make your way through "

-the ghost rider lookalike guy 

This line best summarizes his behavior in my opinion , since I have NEVER seen such a tenacious sonofabi*ch in all my extensive anime career , seems like he symbolizes his name , that is GUTS , because one thing I'm sure of that this freak of nature bastard has a tonn of 'em.

So for all those wanna be's or otaku-veterans that might have been fooled like I was , I recommend to you , berserk  , both the manga , anime or even the movies ...

And btw , you bet your ass I'm gonna follow up on the manga after all that ...

Dying dream;

Hopefully someone other than me will read my blog someday .....
