It's a manga that's been running for 20+ years now, and it's pretty incredible. One of the things that's most interesting about it, is that the author has basically reinvented himself in his style several times throughout the series, while still keeping it true to its roots. During the first 10 volumes (referred to collectively as the "Golden Age" arc), it's basically gritty 80s style manga of purely dark medieval warfare, becoming borderlined historical fiction. but in volumes 11-12+ literally hell opens up and pours itself onto earth evil dead style but in a completely serious manner. Over the next ~5 volumes you have every bit of bad in his world corrupted and risen to full blown demonic rape-fests; corrupt priests burning everyone at the stake, packs of roving goblins kidnapping women, raping and impregnating them to make more monsters, an evil god-emporer who tries to take over the world etc. It then turns into a traditional swords/sorcery fantasy where Guts assembles a team of rag-tag heroes to destroy the five God Hands of hell, one of whom was his best friend and rival during the Golden Age.

hey guys! what's up?

...

Hey Zer0!
Had an exam earlier, didn't go as well as expected, but oh well.
One left them I'm done.
You?

...

...

It's been awhile since I seen your threads user. Berserk is also returning in a few weeks. Hopefully Muira does more chapters next year.

I'm doing all right
usual stuff i guess

Hey user, we're still here!
Yup, should be next month. Miura said we'd be back to monthly chapters then, so hopefully he'll keep that up for the better part of the year.
So close to big things happening.

Good to hear.
Got any plans for your Wednesday night?

...

I'm not going to stop. Nothing can fucking stop me. It's happening. The bleach is going down tonight. This is my last thread. Bye friend.

...

You'll be fine, just take it easy.

...

...

...

...

...

Not really, no.

...

Nah.

Sounds good.
I get my new mouse tomorrow/Friday, so could be in for some tank action, depending how hard I want to fail my physics final.

...

...

...

So I just watched the 3 Berserk movies on Netflix and what the fuck is going on? Started out with knights and shit then we're in hell with rape

...

It's a pretty rapid change, the series takes on a different tone after that point. Goes from medieval fantasy to dark fantasy then later on to high fantasy.
The Eclipse always catches people off guard, the manga does a much better job of it all around, too.
Did you have fun though?

...

Sounds good. Final takes priority. When is it?

...

Tuesday night, ends at 11PM.
Not going home until the Saturday after, though, so there's 3 full days of nothing, at least.

...

...

I definitely had fun. I'm not big on anime but I've watched a few through to the end that I enjoyed. The change is nice, I get tired of the same type of thing over and over again.

What exactly is the difference between those types of fantasy though? I seem to see them used interchangeably.

...

I'm no fa/tg/uy but:
Medieval fantasy: first part of Berserk, knights, armour, swords, castles, kings, etc.
Dark fantasy: Demons, rape, suffering, edginess (the good kind), sorcery
High fantasy: Elves, faeries, magic, enchantment, witches
At least in terms of content.

Seems interesting. Is the 2016 show any good? I heard it was the continuation of those movies

...

Sounds good.

Overall, it's not that good.
I really enjoyed it because long term fan of the series, and read the manga a few times.
Going into it blind wouldn't be as enjoyable, the first season had a lot of pacing issues and the art-style was pretty bad. The second season got a lot better, though.
The best part of Berserk is the manga, next being the original 1997 anime (which covers the same things as the movie + more, but 100x better).
Ideally you read the manga, watch the 1997 series, then watch the 2016/2017 series, then the movies if you want more.

2016/2017 show is a continuation, yeah, picks up right after where the movies left off.
If you enjoyed the movies and don't want to read it, should be fine watching the 2016/2017 series.

Agreed.

End of Chapter 3 and end of dump for tonight

I'm a longtime comic book fan so I'd be alright reading it. That first link seems to start out with him as the black swordsman. Is that in the right order?

Yup, Black Swordsman arc is a few chapters long, it came out first, but fits in later chronologically.
It's short, and after that starts the Golden Age arc, which is what the movies covered.
Hope you enjoy it!

aw man, it's ended.

For now, but there's be a brand new one tomorrow night!

Alright, I'll get started. Thanks man

Sounds good, you're welcome!

I miss smilin' Guts
