General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[Hexadecimal*]

Just a reminder that new Sailor Moon episodes air on the first and third Saturdays of every month.

I caught up with what's out of the Berserk manga. It's really weird how much the tone changes. You go from some of the most brutal things I've ever seen a manga to more mainstream violence you'd see in something like Bleach or Naruto. Heck, I feel like I'm reading Once Piece right now with all the sea voyage stuff going on. I certainly don't miss the harsh rapes that kept showing up before, but now it's so tame I feel like I'm not even reading the same manga.

There's no way the dude is ever going to finish it. Unless he gets lazy this story has so much more to go and I hope more info about just what Griffith has become gets fleshed in a little more. Might be because the translation I read is a little shitty, but I'm a bit confused.

Spoiler

I initially thought Griffith raped Casca just to get to Guts, but did he know that she was pregnant and used that fetus so he could exist in the real world again and not just in that other place as Femto? Seems like when that egg thing swallowed that fetus Griffith was reborn.

I'm also wondering if Gambino actually really was that horrible or if a demon possessed him? Sure he was harsh, but it genuinely seemed like he did care for Guts. I at least want to hope that something else was going on and those weren't his true feelings when he attacked Guts.
