Every criticism of Berserk is just this
Is that kristoph?
>>282654268my criticism of berserk is that its long, boring and looked so gay it killed the author. Shoulda been a 10 volume story in and out.
>>282654835yes
/a/ - Twitter & Reddit
>>282654268Are you sure?, because I also see criticism about how it devolved into Guts just mowing down hordes or monsters while others look in amazement, or how 300 hundreds chapters in we don't even know where the story is heading, or that Casca has run most of the audience patience thin, and has been a non-character for most of the story, or that Miura wrote himself into a corner with Guts vs Griffith by making him so powerful and untouchable that there is no conceivable way for Guts to get his revenge in way that is not gonna be an asspull.Don't get me wrong, Berserk is great fun, the first 100 chapters are still some of the best you'll see in manga, and the next 100 chapters still have some powerful moments, but after the halfway point and especially in the later third the story clearly ran out of juice

>>282655777This is Tumblr, actually.
How does /a/ do it? Even with all it's flaws it still manages to maintain a level of quality far above the other media boards.
>>282654268Ok but was the drive-by rape with Wyald really necessary
>>282656345>Miura wrote himself into a corner with Guts vs Griffith by making him so powerful and untouchable that there is no conceivable way for Guts to get his revenge in way that is not gonna be an asspull.Miura already set up Berserker armor Skull Knight to be powerful enough to kill 4 Godhands.Also Moonlight Boy clearly has something to do with the ending.

>>282654268>pick up a retard's opinion>imply that many other, valid opinions do not existWhy are Berkfags like this?
>>282654268I remember a few months ago, someone posted a quote by a well known manga editor, who said what everyone else was thinking, that Berserk fell off after the Eclipse and isn't interesting anymore. I wish I'd saved that, because it summed it up really well.
>>282654268more like >if there's homoerotic subtext, no there isn't
>>282654268i think it's fair to point out that berserk lingers on the sex/rape stuff a lot, and in a way that is supposed to somewhat tantalize the reader. what's not fair is women who pretend like it's a big deal that a fictional story sometimes does this, and that it's worth quitting the manga over, which often happens.
>>282660815no one says that anymore
>>282655777literally the entire damn website at this point
>>282661003A lot of people on /a/ say that about yuri. Let's see if I can summon the Madoka anti-yuri spammer.
sexual abuse is a shortcut to dramatic writingI immediately discount any author that feels the need to go for such low-hanging fruit to illicit a reaction from readers
>>282661461with berserk it's not that anyone denies the homo subtext, it's that people sometimes say stupid shit like guts and griffith could have had a healthy relationship if only guts wasn't "autistic" or something, which isn't true. griffith being in love with guts is obvious, but that doesn't mean people should say like the only thing preventing him and guts from being in a relationship was guts choosing to leave, especially sincea) it's not clear whether he reciprocated griffith's feelingeb) griffith was happy as they were. he wasn't planning on confessing his feelings for him any time, even when prompted by guts. even being reminded of his own feelings for guts made him uncomfortablec) the power dynamic between them created by griffith made any sort of honest communication impossible, so it's not guts's fault that griffith was comfortable with the way he made things
