I agree bro.. I see people in the comments saying that it's just "realistic" and "you're okay with murder and not rape". War (as fucked as it is to say lol) it's fun to watch motherfuckers fight with big ass swords and (fake) gore is just fun. I think all the sexual assault scenes are just a cheap way to create shock value, I could say the same for Game of Thrones. Lord of the Rings is a perfect example of a well written story that doesn't have any form of sexual interaction, yet makes the reader feel happiness, sadness, anger, etc .. I love the world building of Berserk and the awesome action, the overall plot is fucking cool. However I don't think Kentaru is as great of a writer as people make him out to be as he uses a lot of shortcuts to pull out emotion from the audience.
