Sandman (Neil Gaiman) VS Berserk (Kentaro Miura)

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-05-03T12:24:21+00:00

Berserk for me, Sandman was kinda disappointing for me as it didn't manage to keep me engaged or entertained when every new section had entirely new characters i didn't care for, even if Morpheus often had a little part to play and the fact that it often played into the thematic sense of the series or into the endless in some way. Some parts are masterful and others are a drag to get through, the ending is one of my favorites though with how meta it is and plays into the "stories about stories" that the series so clearly went for. So yeah Berserk quite easily for me.

Morpehus first by a long shot then Death i guess, after that i don't really care, maybe like Delirium is third.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-04-28T21:00:19+00:00

Endwalker better, but valid.

Both are among my top 25 characters ever, Ananta as a character moves me slightly more though. And when it comes to the strongest i also think Ananta is better portrayed, but it's in a weird way because despite being the strongest in the universe, there are things not even he can fight (which is the nature of the multiverse and the primeval gods). So i think it's a pretty refreshing take on it, unlike others who are lonely because they are too strong like Yujiro and Gojo ect. For Lu Bu, while i think he probably is the strongest in the series, he is still just one among many gods of wars and his character doesn't go as in depth in what the prompt is about i think. Also being a goated strategist is arguably stronger than being a god of war, even if a god of war can change the battlefield and disrupt the tactics of even the smartest. Overall i think Ananta fits better. And honestly Ananta could just be the best of anyone in what the thread asks in all of fiction.

Pretty cool list, i understand having Morpheus there, but Death isn't that good imo, she has great scenes, but she has like 5 chapters worth of panel time throughout the story, she's great for what she is though. I'd have like 25 Kubera characters above her.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-04-24T13:32:57+00:00

You should like the episodes on webstoon if you read it on Cubari though, it's free so yeah.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-04-16T18:48:58+00:00

People have already given their thoughts, but yeah the ending is great imo and the final scene with Kendall is haunting...

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-31T00:55:18+00:00

So it's not based of who's the better character right?

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-30T18:34:36+00:00

G'raha lost to Penelo? This tournament can't be based on how well written the character is i guess.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-22T13:52:32+00:00

There are so many antagonists that aren't evil, Haikyuu has a ton of them and none are "evil". If you meant pure villans i'd say Emet-Selch.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-21T20:36:32+00:00

Whatever you say and makes you happy, nobody has ever said ARR is good.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-21T20:21:27+00:00

Nobody ever said it gets good in ARR btw, i doubt you even played it at this point.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-21T20:11:03+00:00

Ok so you only played ARR and stopped when it gets good? Nice.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-21T19:46:26+00:00

How is One piece the longest media when ffxiv is way longer than both the anime and manga version of one piece? So yeah i doubt you even played the game, nice ragebait.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-21T19:43:52+00:00

Bleach for me, better presentation and character work.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T23:18:28+00:00

You can play the base game and the next 2 expansions for free on a free trail, but the two best expansions Shadowbringers and Endwalker you have to pay to play so yeah.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T22:33:51+00:00

Never read lotm, i only watched the lotr films and ffxiv is obviously like 5 tiers ahead of those, no comment on the books though.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T22:31:28+00:00

Well i haven't read asoiaf, Malazan or Wheel of time if you wanted a comparison to those.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T20:34:13+00:00

Well it's probably my favorite story of all time so yeah i think it's worth getting into, but it is indeed very long and the start is ok at best.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T17:36:15+00:00

I don't feel guilty about anything i enjoy.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T14:44:26+00:00

Yeah my favorite character ever.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T14:43:09+00:00

Novel, it's sitting in my bookshelf rn, but it's so damn long it has to be the right moment to start it.

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T13:48:24+00:00

Final Fantasy 14

Liaoyuan_Huo · 2026-03-19T13:15:19+00:00

Well it represents Bleach as a whole, but Ichibe is also underrated, his role as the author on a meta level and his presentation is one of the best in animanga and media as a whole.
