New chapter? Sweet!

I really liked it, and apparently we get another chapter February 10th.surprised

Its mentioned at the beginning of the arc that the merrow were the ones who sealed the sea god away in the first place. Having them come to battle him when he awakens isn't much of a stretch.

Plus, we had a girl who was almost certainly half-mermaid showing up before it became clear that the sea god was going to cause any trouble at all.

Fine, fine. I only took the time to read the new chapter, and it's been six months since the last one, so you'll understand if my memory's a bit fuzzy. But I'm glad this arc seems like it's wrapping up. If they got to Elfland three years ago, it wouldn't be fast enough.

Here's a rip of the first 10 minutes.

The CG is still conspicuous, but I kind of like it.

[up] That movie looks totally amazing, totally buying when it comes for DVD!

By the way, does anyone here thinks that, with the Berserk movies coming, would it pressure Miura into advancing the Manga

Probably not. He takes a long time because he pays insane attention to detail. Not really something you can rush.

And also because he doesn't have any assistant and is probably sufficiently rich to be a little lazy.

I also hear tell he's sickly and that depresses the chapter rate as well.

I'd very surprised if anything besides the insanely detailed artwork was much of factor, to be honest. I'd be extremely impressive if he was able to finish more than a page per day, and given that we have ~20 pages chapters… yeah, do the math, there.

I agree his art work is most certainly a reason.

I just heard that some of his longer breaks were due to illness, and he's just generally not a healthy person.

[up][up]A page per day doesn't explain a three month delay between some chapter. Two pages per day doesn't even explain it. Why not admit that writer can be a little lazy ?

Or that he's, y'know, sick, as EHK said.

Kind of hard to be happy though, as it looks like the series will go on another hiatus after this. *sigh* How many months will it last this time?

Let's try to remain optimistic. I mean the new chapter is titled "Elf Island Surfacing" despite nothing of the sort happening within the chapter... I think. So it looks like we might not have much longer to wait before Caska becomes an actual character again.

Unless this whole trip is a shoot the shaggy dog plot. All of the more positive things happening were just to mislead them.

I mean they are leading Griffith right to a land filled with witches and stuff and he wants to kill said people.

[up] As I mentioned earlier, Miura has confirmed it won't be a Shoot the Shaggy Dog. Now, if only I could remember where I read that...

Also, still kind of confused on Griffith; does becoming a Godhand involve any of The Corruption at all, or is he no more evil as a Godhand than as a human? Because if it's The Corruption, he could theoretically be purged of it (provided there's something in The 'Verse powerful enough to do that, of course).

They don't really spell it out, but remember what the deal entails: you have to be so desperate that you're willing to sacrifice what's most precious to you in order to save yourself. I'd say at that point, it'd be hard to become any more evil, especially if you knew what was going to happen...

Well so far as we know there is only the Idea of Evil so far as powerful being go. So I'm pretty sure that Griffith is a God Hand until he dies.

[up][up] Not that I'm excusing Griffith, but I actually think there's quite a big jump in evil between being so desperate that you'd be willing to sacrifice anything to get out of desperation and raping a woman into insanity while forcing her boyfriend to watch. The former could be conceivably spun as a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds sort of thing, I think. After all, it was being broken and tortured that made Griffith want more power, followed by Conrad and Ubik giving him a push off the slippery slope. Now, none of this excuses Femto, but what I'm saying is I'm not entirely convinced that's all Griffith in there...

He had two choices to make the pain stop: One is to die. The other is to kill everyone who ever trusted him and become an avatar for the embodiment of evil. Either way, he was never going to be the same. Seeing him even consider the latter choice is in and of itself a Moral Event Horizon, let alone actually choosing it. At least, that's how I see it.

#249: Feb 23rd 2012 at 8:04:32 PM

Say, could I add a picture of the Idea of Evil to his entry on the characters page, or would even that be too much of a spoiler?

...how does anyone know about the Idea, anyway? Was that chapter ever formally released, like as a bonus in one of the volumes or something?

Giffith talked to it during some chapter. Don't remember when. I think online scans still have it.
