>generic side character asks the main character about "needing to get supplies"
>>723098343I don't get it
How derivative is Berserk?
>>723099847
>>723101303amazing. everyone and everything's a hack
>>723102714>>723101303>>723099847>>723099712>>723098343>noooooooo stop liking pop culture pre-internet hysteria>noooooooooooo don't reference media that is referenced 24/7 in the 80s
>>723103625>referencePeople are pretending this is original
>>723101303Guts is based on a historical figure, but yeah most anime at the time was ripping off movies.Now that american movies suck the japanese are stuck making slice of life romcoms until the end of time.
>>723104935>Guts is based on a historical figureWhich one?
>>723101303Evil Dead was in large part parodying things that were already incredibly common tropes in 80s/70s movies.This is a massive stretch.
>>723105868Allegedly Gots von Berlichingen but Miura denied that was the case. I mean even if that were the case it's a superficial similarity at best.
>>723101303Like if Miura was ripping off anyone, we can go all the way back to Gustav Dore *at least*
>>723105868Götz von Berlichingenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Götz_von_Berlichingena german knight from the late 1400's to early 1500's who got his hand blown off and had a rather advanced prosthetic made for him that he could write and fight with.He died of old age and was fighting for 40 years or something.
>>723104935he isn't based on that german merc retard, Miura was always open about his inspirations
>>723101303Or if we want examples more proximate to when Miura was drawing berserk at first:The Apostles are really just Cenobytes from Hellraiser that are in the MC Esher realm from Labyrinth.This is just off the top of my head for some more obvious influences.There's a lot of better examples, I don't know why whoever made this went so far to look for Evil Dead references Specifically.
>>723101303>Evil Dead invented skeletons, knights, and losing a hand
>>723106115>>723106272well, he claimed that it was a strange coincidence that he heard about fairly early into his workits more like an unintentional matchup where art accidently imitated life.>>723106575the evil dead angle is a massive overreach.as people said it itself was drawing from a lot of pre-existing tropes Miura would have already come across.I think the most bullshit claim would be anything about body poses and angles of weapons.Miura distinguished himself by coming up with his own shit, most of which doesn't really have anything you could point to as a reference.It simply is.But some shit universally looks good and gets repeated.>>723106875dont forget how it invented portals, crucifixion poses, elaborate armor themed around skulls, prisoner restraints, and hair turning white from stress.
>ever since zoomers discovered Berserk we were never able to have a good berserk thread again because 4chan is populated by terminally online contrarians that must hate on anything that gets even slightly populat with normalfags
>>723107024I mean it doesn't help that Berserk has been totally off the rails for like 20 years.
>>723099847>Horror movies + fantasy + some conan and maybe some metal album cover influenceThere you go
>>723101303Groovy
Still can't believe it's all over
>>723106223>Gutz is short for gottfried (adapted)Wtfffff
>>723101303kek
>>723107394Is nu-Berserk done already? I figured it would take them ages to end the story.
>>723107537he was known as Gotz of the iron hand, not gotfried.>>723107024>>723107093it doesnt help that berserk basically went the same way Hajime no Ippo has going...damn Ippo should have gotten something like a more technical "Punch Out" game, now that I think of it.Not the nintendo wii version, but something more pixelated and older like the SNES version.Imagine a multiplayer where you can fuck around as Aoki and ragebait people, or terrify noobs as Mashiba.
>>723108405Not yet but it feels like its 95% there.Guts is about to get a new powerup and then will probably have his final showdown with Griffith and thats it
>>723108684Cool, was waiting for it to get somewhere before starting my read.
>>723101303>>723102714>>723104935It's called inspiration you 70 IQ animals.
>>723101303damnberserk is shit
>>723109607>berserk is *THE shit
>>723101303I wish more people ripped off evil dead
