I think Miura has also shown a strong ability to take ideas and adapt them beautifully to his own world. (As important: he obviously does and applies huge amounts of historical research. It's so refreshing.) I love that you can see just how much he not only loves the series as a whole, but individual characters. I also love that although he is clearly appreciative of his fanbase, he does not pander to it, and that makes such a huge difference to me.

It's also such a good commentary on the nature of love and it's all-consuming nature. (Not to say that the gay jokes aren't amusing at times, I admit.) The sheer amount of thought and depth in the series tells me that this is one that's going to become a classic--it's already halfway there, and in terms of storytelling, it ranks far above the rest.

I also like seeing his art adapt and change. He wasn't bad in the beginning, but compared to his work now? Wow.

Oh, I've done my fair share of gay jokes about those two (see icon), and I'd be lying if I didn't get fangirly whenever they even think about each other..but it's just a bit irritating when I meet girls who talk about it like it's a shonen-ai series and the girls don't exist, eugh.

It definitely is going to be a classic, and if you think about how far it has to go...I can easily see it reaching 100 volumes, as crazy as that sounds. Maybe a bit less, or a bit more.

New episode comes out November 9th!! ♥

I also love that although he is clearly appreciative of his fanbase, he does not pander to it, and that makes such a huge difference to me.

And this is the beautiful thing about seinen manga, and why I will never get the satisfaction I get reading Berserk in a series like Naruto or Bleach D:

Oh, I'd say 100 volumes easy, especially if you consider how far the Conan series has gone, and how long Guin Saga is. (Which I believe is still going? I can't recall.) Considering his influences, I'd be surprised if it's less than 60-70 volumes. Really surprised.

Yay, new episode!! I can't wait! (Look, I'm wiggling with glee.)

I enjoy Naruto and Bleach, but they're more like marshmallows in hot cocoa to me. Berserk is like a fine meal made by excellent chefs. It may be heavy, and at times, the dishes may be too hot to eat right away, but if you have a little patience and take your time to savour it, it's the most satisfying thing in the world.

I am also a Naruto and Bleach fan, but oh gosh do I have gripes with the writing and fanservice, so I just take it with a grain of salt.

And I am so damn excited about the new episode switching over to Griffith and co. ♥ We can see more Charlotte and hopefully more Sonia, too, since the title is talking about a 'precognitive' dream!
