Miura seems to be a real marathon man when it comes to Berserk. He sets his own pace which is frustrating to some, unimportant to others, but hard not to notice. Whether it takes another 20 years or not, I'll be reading it until the end.

Ok, so... when it comes to Berserk for the next 20 years I would like to see the following (and everyone is encouraged to participate or make their own lists):

  1. An updated animated series or movie(s)
  2. Fancy large scale manga reprints (like 8.5 x 11 inches)
  3. A couple of video games... hack'n'slash and fighting would both work, but would not complain over a dating sim.
  4. More affordable collectibles like figures (I noticed these recently and ordered some)
  5. And finally... more great Berserk - possibly an ending.

The release of volume 34 seems to be part of their 20th anniversary celebration.  Maybe someone with Japanese language skills can let us know what it says: http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/34/

What are your thoughts on picking this up? Worth it? Not worth it?

Everyone's looking forward to that next big chapter, I haven't heard a peep on when we'll see it yet.  Should we start taking bets? Hehe

I'll be posting a showcase of all the entries in the near future... so stay tuned.  There are also a number of new wallpapers submitted by community members, so be sure to go check them out.
