Berserk is the only manga to ever reach the level of true art and transcend the trappings of mere mangaWhy hasn't any other manga ever been able to reach its heights? Is it because the average manga reader is too stupid and sheltered for its harsh world? Personally I think it's because every manga is inspired by other media while Berserk took cues from reality
Falseflag or legitimate, call it
>>282878844Read more manga.
The reality Berserk took cues from:
Seriously, what the hell is it with Berserkfags? They read babies first dark fantasy and make the most insane, obnoxious posts
>>282879061why are you talking to yourself lol
>>282879070it could be me, it could be you, it could be any one of us
>>282878844It is the BEST manga in terms of the story it tells, but there are a few others on the same level like Punpun or Vagabond
Actually the best manga is Kill Me Baby
>>282878844i just finished conviction arc (griffith is back)it's good and lost children is my favourite but it feels like a shonen with rape and gorestill really like it but its reputation precedes it
>literal cuckshit
>>282878844It's probably the best manga overall, but I wouldn't say that it is the only one that can be considered true art.
it utilizes its 70s influences very well + good art + a love triangle so good it propels the plot for 300 chapters
Americans who have never read manga before vastly overrateJapan and any non-American country rate it accurately as decent but nothing special
>>282878844>transcend the trappings of mere mangaThis doesn't actually mean anything. Tell me, how melanated is your skin?
>>282878844It's was inspired by other media just as much as everything else, it's just 70s and 80s media your zoomer brain does not recognize.
>>282880095It transcends the medium, like how NGE transcended anime or how Stalker transcended film
>>282880779No, a piece of media cannot transcend media. You don't know what the word means, you just use it because you think it's cool.
Berserk fucking dragged for ages.The author lost the plot long before his death desu.
I just wish they'd finish it bros
>>282880868Literally everything in the manga has built towards the narrative. There's essentially no filler in the manga. It all builds characters, lore and the universe
>>282878844read more fucking manga, tourist
>>282880836transcend is when something is really cool
>>282878844If you don’t think this is True Art then idk what the fuck to tell you man
>>282878844How exactly did it transcend anything more than any other popular manga did?It was a decent read but it was still just a manga
The story is 4/10The art is 11/10People who say that Berserk is goonfuel for teenage edgelords who have never read real literature are correct, but Berserk is still the most consistently well drawn Manga of all time.
Griffith is the only interesting character in Berserk and Miura knew it, which is why he could never finish the story. Griffith simultaneously does "win" because Miura died, but everyone will feel cheated if he doesn't get defeated. If Miura had lived another 30 years, Berserk would still have dragged on at the same pace. Miura didn't want to finish it because the fans would have hated the ending it deserved.
>>282881312vagabond, OPM, i do like sun ken rock too but i dont think its in the same league... same with Otoyomegatari and Gantzbut yeah you might be right.story is pretty good tho def >6
>>282881401I like where it ended for Miura's writing. I think he didn't continue both because an ending where they all kill Griffith feels cheap and because a Griffith redemption ending would have been incredibly insulting. That certainly wouldn't have been the ending Berserk "deserved".
brain dead people in this thread. As usual when we talk about one of the greatest manga of all time.
>>282880836This post transcends 4chan
>>282881744Gantz is Berserk done rightYou will disagree, cry shit and seethe but it's true
>>282878844Show tattoo or gtfo
>>282881401How is being 90s twink Diddy "interesting"
>>282878844dragon ball is still a better story goku loves the struggles while guts still lost trying to find the point of struggles
>>282879180
>>282881312>consistently
>>282881744we transcend brain dead
>>282883577Griffith is interesting because of his self deception and the constant push and pull of sacrificing parts of his identity to reach an abstract ideal.
>>282881686>Griffith redemption >Griffith defeated like a 2d villain Yeah there is no easy and satisfying way to end the story.
>>282884112Griffith is working against the Idea of Evil but for selfish reasons. He’ll destroy it and himself and deliver humanity into an era of peace but it’ll be only for himself and his own satisfaction and the people will hate him for it.That’s how it’ll end, bittersweet.
