I love writing and have been growing as a writer since I decided it's what I wanted to do with my life in fourth grade. In the middle of writing my first novel but have been having writer's block and honestly some disinterest of late. My spark seemed to dissapear for a little while. Thanks for reminding me why we do what we do and why I shouldn't let that spark go out. Thanks, Larry.

[brownnoice]

@MegaFeeso The anime left out a lot that was important in the manga. Anyways we sort of derailed Larry's video comments so msg me if you want to speak Berserk.

@Larry About Comics and Manga. Is there a way to merge them or are they too different?

[MegaFeeso]

@brownnoice opps ran out of space lol. I did hate the eclipse i felt like i was high or somthing lol. Any way i did read a bit more of themanga and i'm not convinced it just seems so random and vulgar. Does it ever get as good as the golden age arc again?

PS:Skull Knight is beast though i am confuesed by him.

@brownnoice . "I can't read 99% of the shonen out there because it is all so predictable." thats true lol. but seriously i loved the berserk anime except the ending because it was epic! but as i said the fantasy at the end was just so sudden it was jaring especially since there was no real explination of the god hand,the aposels and the ceromony. I Don't mind the violence at all its just the bizzar unexplained creatures and the rape.... it seems just thrown in for no real reason.

[brownnoice]

@MegaFeeso The first few chapters are not that great. Throughout most of the manga there is more rape, torture and violence and bad comic relief but things do get better for Guts and he finds new friends and allies. Somewhere 2/3rd of the way in it becomes less dark fantasy and more fantasy. The manga will be random at times but that is good. I can't read 99% of the shonen out there because it is all so predictable. But the point is not in how violent Berserk its the story, its epic.

[MegaFeeso]

@brownnoice really? i usually prefer manga over anime but berserk's manga just seems a little grotesque with all the editional rape in it.......

also i can't stand puck.Finally the eclipse was jjust so mess up and it came out of no where! i'm just worried the manga will be just as random and messed up......not to mention heart breaking.

Anyways thanks for the recomendation iguess i'll give it a shot.

[MegaFeeso]

@OtakuASSEMBLE I'm not being demanding or anything but i'm just curious, how come? did u not like it or are you just not bothered to watch it ??

[brownnoice]

@MegaFeeso Read the manga. That crazy ending is just the beginning. Manga is 100x better. Out of all the manga I have read it is the best.
