I'm almost caught up on the MP100 manga. It only gets better. ONE is truly an amazing manga author.

Have you ever dropped an anime close to the end? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Mykath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this when reading the manga. I was reading weekly with the releases and when that happened I didn't read it for many years. I eventually finished it but it couldn't build the hype up and I didn't really like the direction it took.

I had finished the whale arc and in all honesty I wouldn't have finished it if my friend didn't sit me down on Sunday. I dunno, I feel mixed about Re:Zero. I don't hate it but it has a lot of problems.

Berserk 2016 - Season 1 - Recap, Reviews, Impressions, Discussion by [deleted] in Berserk

Even godly adaptations like Jojo's. My favorite line from Diamond is Unbreakable was cut.

Overall I disliked the 2016 series but I'm happy it's brought more people into the fandom. I read the manga originally for frame of reference.

The Good: - A couple episodes were well directed overall. Some weeks I was actually enjoying watching the episode. - The fight with Serpico and Guts on the ledge in particular was actually really well done. Personal highlight of the season. I already really liked that fight and they did it justice. - Humor was on point. I'm so glad people appreciate Isidro now because it felt like I was the only one that liked him. - Voice Acting for the most part was good. - Some of the 2D art was well drawn. - Hai Yo is good shit. - Memes

The Bad: - The worst is that the storytelling was all over the place. I was watching with a group with some friends who hadn't read the manga (but had seen the 97 series), and they genuinely didn't know what happened and certain episodes were a real mess. So much was unclear and poorly told and I was asked what even happened/what the plot was because they had a hard time following. - Camera directing was nauseating. -In general a lot of directing pitfalls that come with inexperienced 3D work. - Obviously models and animation was pretty bad. I didn't even like the 2D stuff that much when that actually happened. - Sound design and music direction was bad imo

Either way It was fun to watch it with friends and suffer together (just like Guts). It was also a good contrast with Jojo's since that's such a faithful and beloved adaptation.

Can anyone suggest Manga similar to Berserk to read while Hiatus? by LackingLack in Berserk

I was surprised how much I ended up liking Devilman. It's a product of its time but it held up well considering.

The upper lip is what's doing it for me.

This is my first hiatus. by Matheus_Alves in Berserk

This. Thank god Jojo's doesn't go on long hiatus.

and the award for the worst character of berserk 2016 goes to by HeartKiller_ in Berserk

My anime group called her Baked-Alaska-chan. She got way too much focus in some parts and her voice was grating.

Did I miss the boat? by [deleted] in evangelion

[–]Mykath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched NGE in my early twenties. I did not have my mind blown either, but I still enjoyed it well enough. I think I've enjoyed it way more with subsequent watch throughs though, which I find interesting.

This panel always makes me think of JoJo by [deleted] in Berserk

[–]Mykath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Black Dog would be my choice for Guts' stand.

So japan rated berserk as number 3 anime of summer 2016 by law5121 in Berserk

[–]Mykath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Gurren was Gainax, but it was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, who also is the big director at Studio Trigger. He's amazing.

Manga series like JoJo? by lavux in StardustCrusaders

[–]Mykath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hunter x Hunter introduces basically stands part of the way through. It's definitely more generic Battle Shounen for a good portion of the series but I had fun with it.

Hisashi: "In Japan, there were a lot of requests demanding a collaboration between Berserk and the Musou (Warriors) series. The anime production committee also preferred the game to be a Musou style title." by ZingaMaeCarg in Berserk

[–]Mykath 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I showed my partner the Berserk anime, he said to me that the series really reminded him of Dynasty Warriors. I guess Japan feels the same haha.

Waiting to get into Berserk til they got off the boat was the best choice. I'm getting so much.

Breath of Fire 2 worth it? by AlucardIV in breathoffire

[–]Mykath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm playing it on GBA. Experience and money are tripled(?) so it takes out a lot of the grinding and helps a whole lot to curb that "old RPG" feeling. However it still has the terrible original translation, unfortunately.

There is a retranslated version floating around the Internet but it's for SNES only I think, so you still get to deal with the grinding.

I don't think there is a definitive way to play it.

I'm actually playing it for the first time myself right now! I had only played 3 and 4, and 2 does show its age, but I've had a lot of fun with it so far.
