Ongoing OVAs like Gundam Unicorn or the to-be Ghost in the Shell: Arise look to have stunning production quality. 50-minute long Gantz episodes rendered with care and quality animation like those would be a dream for any Gantz fan. A 20-minute episode slapped between an intro and outro...

Berserk is a manga I read for the here-and-now content, as opposed to the overall story. To elaborate, I find that Berserk isn't particularly well structured as an overall story and sometimes has consistency issues - the main one being the arguable decline in quality post-Griffith rebirth. As a...

The gladiatorial fight this chapter seems like a parallel to the fights in the virus-ridden dumpster, with the human crowd cheering on the death just as the Giants civilians did. It's probably to illustrate the idea that the human race is just as cruel as the Giants were, and the only thing that...

Probably this. Really, anything from Osaka qualifies.

Re: Claymore 128 Spoiler thread Why on Earth would these people be even affiliated with the Opposing Alliance. There's a clear link between these figures and the Berserk analogy which Ryus provided yesterday. For some reason Awakened Beings (strong ones?) are gathering, but to oppose Priscilla...

Guts doesn't have the flower with him as of the Fantasia arc. If it's revealed he does... well, it won't be. Because Miura's level of writing wouldn't allow such a thing. Berserk isn't a Shounen. :cheez

I've been satisfied with Gantz as a manga since the end of Phase 2. I knew, going into Phase 3, that if it was good, it would enhance my enjoyment of Gantz, but if it was bad, it wouldn't degrade everything that had been previously established. Maybe by the conventions of literature, but after...

I checked it out again, and you're right. Maybe Griffith's fixation isn't quite as antiquated as I thought. I also, checked out my Berserk volume 14 again. In the first chapter, when Guts is on SK's horse, SK discusses Rickert's Elf dust and Godo's ore mine. He also strongly implies, if not...

I've had this discussion on another forum pertaining to Claymore. Although you do raise a good point, this is practically scaremongering and isn't something that can be passed off as fact. What's more, the actual article you posted relates to a single series, whose mangaka is a known activist...

Hmmm. Well, either way, I'm intrigued to see whether Oku shall tie up this loose end and many others, or leave the sub-plot where it appeared to end: at the end of the Italian mission. HS's words after that mission of no longer being passionate about wanting to kill the Hunters seemed like a...

If Casca's sanity isn't returned, or at least returned to the extent that she'll somewhat resemble her Golden Age self, then I don't see her purpose in the story any longer. We've already had her insanity cause Guts pain; develop his character and the plot in some ways, and provide some comedy...

Well, this details a period in Guts' life that we actually know very little about. Miura likes to be thorough, and the period between Guts slaying Gambino and defeating Bazuso has always been blank. What's more it was 4 years, which is a hefty amount of time however you cut it.The purpose of the...

I'm not sure if Griffith wants Guts any longer. I mean, Griffith seemed generally quite indifferent towards Guts at the Hill of Swords.

I get the impression that people have no real reason for disliking the Vampires beyond their pre-conceived notions, built on their experiences of other media. The Twilight franchise, for example. I'd even go as far as to say that because of this mass influx of Vampires in the media in recent...

If you want to go down this route, the Oni Alien isn't strictly a demon, is it? Neither are the Tanaka Aliens birds, the Buddha Aliens Buddhist statues, etc. It's just terms Oku -or Gantz- and the fans too, have assigned to them for ease of communication. And besides, there's a few chapters...
