Every Berserk Manga Edition Compared - What’s the Best Way to Collect in English?

[@bofad6074]

I work at an amazon same day shipping center, and WOW people have been ordering so many of the deluxe editions. My last shift I think I had 30 separate packages that contained vol 1 of the deluxe editions. Feels good

[@fredrikgranstrom6743]

It is so awesome

[@turtleanton6539]

Wow

[@chester9718]

send me package for free

[@grimsonforce7504]

I work at amazon too I've seen quite of few deluxe editions floating by. Really cool.

[@mrbrit6746]

Could you guys handle and package them a little better then? The amount of books/manga I've had to return because they're arrived damaged is absurd ;)

[@CarlosAguilar002]

I must admit the paperbacks art on the cover is amazing but I am happy that I collect the deluxe edition. They look amazing on my shelf and I enjoy the larger size so I can enjoy this legendary manga.

[@turtleanton6539]

They have the covers anyway

[@AnimeCollective]

Man yeah, the paperbacks are awesome with their cover art but can't deny the quality and the look of the Deluxe Editions. Glad they included those cover art galleries in the Deluxe Editions too! The larger format is why I love them so much as well. His artwork is incredible to witness no matter what, but the Deluxe Editions do his artwork justice even more with their print quality and larger format.

[@beetheimmortal]

I'm also going for the Deluxe Editions, my collection of them is actually complete now. I really enjoy the large colour illustrations in the later books and I honestly can't imagine reading Berserk in a smaller format now.

[@Bapi_i]

they look encyclopedias super aesthetic imo

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Berserk is amazing, it’s by far my favourite story ever, nothing else even comes close for me. The deluxe editions are amazing and is definitely the best way to read it. Such an amazing series, such breathtaking art.

[@AnimeCollective]

I feel the same way! There's so many incredible manga series out there, but man, nothing ever seems to compare for me. I agree about the Deluxe Editions being the best way to read Berserk. The large format and the way the artwork looks in them is amazing!

Thankyou for these kind of reviews they really helps us out. The fact that you even compare things like readability, sfx and spine arts is such a plus! Hey and i loved the intro part of the video, your love for Berserk was evident and it does make me very happy. Miura might not be with us anymore but his work has inspired millions and will keep doing that. Thank you again!

[@AnimeCollective]

Oh wow thank you so much and I'm glad it was helpful!! Berserk means a lot to me, so I'm really happy to hear my passion for it came through! I really appreciate you for taking the time to say such kind things! I appreciate it a lot and hope you have an awesome week!!! And I couldn't agree more. The impact he made and the legacy he left behind will forever inspire others!

This is probably the best video, straight to the point, extremely informative and really well present. Ive sent this to family and friends who were interested and this video helped them decide. Berserk is a genuine 10/10.

[@spawn345bl8]

I am a proud owner of Deluxe volumes 1 and 2 and I do intend to collect all in this format as they come along! I've watched all the available anime of Berserk, and also read quite ahead of the manga online, but holding this Bible of a book in my hands and enjoying the art in such a larger scale and pristeen quality is something else! It makes me feel like I am reading it for the first time. Can't wait to get to the volumes where I left off, but I also kinda don't want to rush it, since it is so enjoyable for me.

Berserk is my absolute favorite manga too! The story makes me cry every time (for both the sweet and the sad moments, like you said), each page is legitimately a work of art, and I love love love the characters. Generally, I prefer reading manga digitally (I know I know, it's blasphemous, but it's super convenient and there's NO gutter loss!!). I try not to have a lot of stuff because I move and travel regularly, but THESE DELUXE EDITIONS ARE SO WORTH IT! They look beautiful and every single time I open them up I am immediately immersed in Miura's artwork. The sewn binding is really the best-- part of me wishes all manga was released like this (but the other part of me knows that I'd have way too much manga if that were the case). Anyway, these volumes make me so happy, and I'd highly recommend them to any Berserk fan! Thanks as always for the video; I love having a reason to geek out about Berserk :)

[@AnimeCollective]

So awesome to hear that its your favorite as well! There are few series where I love as many characters as I do in Berserk (another I can think of would be Dorohedoro!) but usually I'll have one or two favorites in a manga. Not with Berserk though, there's too many to count so I am the same way! Absolutely love the characters too. It's definitely one just gets you every time emotionally and glad to hear it connected with you in that way also. Nothing wrong at all with reading manga digitally! I too read a lot of series digitally especially with apps like the Shonen Jump app and what not and totally get that about traveling! It's much more convenient for sure. Awesome to hear that you picked up the Deluxe Editions! I couldn't agree more. They are absolutely beautiful editions and they do his artwork justice. I also would love to see more and more series printed this way. Have a feeling they are on the way because there's a high demand for hardcover, collector's editions! Here's hoping! Thank you so much for sharing your love for Berserk and for all of your kind words! It's awesome to connect with others who feel the same way about Berserk! 😄

[@FireFox-er7qj]

I think that Dark Horse will do a 14th deluxe edition that will be a 2 in 1 instead of a 3 in 1 to collect volumes 40 and 41.

[@matejajankovic8531]

I would really like if they added the exhibition artbook in the 14th deluxe, but it probably won't happen

[@AnimeCollective]

Not quite sure how they'll split up the remaining volumes just yet, but this is definitely a potential!

[@ChampionMarauder]

Hopefully. I want those final chapters in this format.

[@graphite7898]

Seeing how now the story is being continued, it doesn't seem that they will ne needing to do that anymore! It will definitely be a bit before volume 42 is finished in it's entirety, but it is more certainly coming.

[@turtleanton6539]

Possibly

[@Guttabee]

Just ordered all 10 of the deluxe versions the other day! Ive been living somewhere I couldn't order things online, but had internet. I had to dive into the anime, and am enthralled with it. 1990s anime first, then the movies, and then the newer ones (which I don't actually hate), but now I'm about to dive into my first manga. So even if you hate the anime, it converted at least one person to trying out manga lol.

[@tsb.m]

@Madalin Cristian guess we’ll never know

[@MoahGentle]

I don't hate the anime but the first series is so much better than the new ones.. Starting to collect the manga now after 15 plus years of being a Berserk anime fan.

[@WangFuAdam]

i see the way you have your deluxe manga in the back there...berserk, hellsing, high school of the dead i had mine set up like that too but then changed it to berserk, HSOTD, hellsing... the spines of HSOTD from black to red is the perfect transition colors from berserk to hellsing... try it out and let me know what you think!

[@AnimeCollective]

Ah never even thought of that but you are right they do transition perfectly color-wise between the two! May mess with me a bit not having my Deluxe Editions in the same area, but definitely worth a shot. Thanks for sharing this! I will try it out and see what I think!

[@328eugenio]

[@AnimeCollective]

Man it really is! Hope they arrive soon and exciting that you have them on the way!

[@SaberStash]

Dark Horse really outdid themselves with the Deluxe Editions. I feel like for the most part, over the years, DH never fully knew how to capitalize on manga publishing, it feels like they've been quite sloppy in many ways and they're pretty infamous for bad unnecessary spine changes, out of print problems for a lot of their popular stuff and just in general them cancelling publications for a ton of their manga. It really seems like now, there is a big audience out there, of mostly manga fans, who just want to collect high profile series in really high quality deluxe hardcover versions. I'm sure that we'll see more deluxe editions for other series from their backlog (I'd say the highest chance ones are I am a Hero, Gantz and maybe even Trigun). I think we can give Dark Horse credit for basically kick-starting the trend in the manga market where publishers go back and reprint stuff from their catalog in a fancy edition (recent examples I can think of are the Girl on the Other Side releases from Seven Seas and the full color version for Parasyte from Kodansha). I think one other difference between the hardcovers and the regular versions is the printing location. From what I remember, the hardcovers from Dark Horse are printed in China, while their regular editions are printed in either the USA or Canada, maybe you can confirm this? Thanks for making another enjoyable comparison video, I really enjoyed the art panels you selected throughout the video!

[@Cbas619]

"reprint stuff from their catalog in a fancy edition" Yea I like what viz has done with series like FMA with the fullmetal editions or the pokemon collectors ed.

[@turtleanton6539]

The deluxes are so awesome. I hope GANTZ gets these to.

[@AnimeCollective]

@@turtleanton6539 Yes to Gantz!!

[@AnimeCollective]

I feel the same way about the Deluxe Editions. They really hit it out of the park in terms of quality with these editions and really set a standard for collector's editions. But man yeah, there are a lot of series that are out of print. Dark Horse is one of those that's quite pricey to collect, especially when it comes to individual paperbacks with series like Gantz, Eden, Trigun, and what not. There is definitely a high demand now for collector's editions. More and more hardcover releases are coming out these days it seems, which I couldn't be happier about. I would love to see more from their backlog also (all that you mentioned as well as Eden are ones at the top of my wishlist)! I noticed that Seven Seas was getting into the collector's editions market and I'm excited to pick up The Girl From the Other Side. Kodansha has been announcing quite a few Deluxe and collector's editions recently. The No Longer Human Complete Edition is one I'm excited about in addition to their hardcover releases like the Parastye Full Color. A lot of great releases are being announced as of late! Here's hoping more and more publishers notice people want out of print series to be reprinted in a larger, collector's edition format (Here's hoping for GTO, Initial D)! Also I just checked and looks like the Dark Horse and DMP paperbacks were both printed in the US and the Deluxe Editions were printed in China, so you were right! Man thank you so much as always!!! I had a fun time selecting panels (I'm spoiled for choice in Berserk) and hope you are having an awesome week!

[@SaberStash]

​@@AnimeCollective Thanks for the update! It's a great time to be a manga collector right now, that's for sure, hopefully publishers deliver in 2022! Likewise, I hope you're having an awesome week too, thank you!

[@Kingu]

Currently on Deluxe edition 6 and really enjoying the series. Great video, very comprehensive. One thing I’ll say about deluxe is the readability. Collecting 3 volumes into one really helps for the fact that I cannot stop once I start reading. I find myself thumbing my way past the divider for another book very naturally. It’s so fluid and easy just blazing through chapters in rapid succession. Single volumes would drive me crazy with anticipation.

[@glassfilmshouse]

this is seriously so helpful! as someone that wants to get into the story after reading the first few issues, i always worry about getting the story “the best way” or with the most author intent remaining, and this comparison is so helpful for that! thank you! 🙏

[@HeartlessTank]

I’ve collected all 14 deluxe editions in a matter of less than 3 months! People called me crazy, but buying em all on Amazon was worth it, I see you’re collecting the dark horse singlebacks. I decided that ima go the other route, and collect all the Young Animal Comics paperbacks! I currently have some, but I love the texture of the art covers on the Japanese paperbacks, they’re beautiful, and I get them a very cheaper price since I order them from Japan. Love this video! BERSERK is also my favorite manga, and it made me cry a couple of times…

[@GoMurillo95]

Currently i'm waiting for the 5th issue of Deluxe edition to arrive but i was curious about the other options and this video explained everything i wanted to know, crystal clear. Thanks!

[@revem8564]

I saw deluxe version in amazon store and decided to purchase first volume 'cuz I heard that Berserk was great. Not really sure why I always put of on watching berserk since I watched almost every "classic" anime that there is. None the less 4 days ago I got my volume and I started reading it. It kept me so into it, that I purchased volume 2 and 3 of deluxe version... and OMG, it took me by surprise that I had to purchase from 4-10 volumes! I needed to know more, though of reading it online but, deluxe just looked incomparable. Currently I am on volume 6 on deluxe version and I also watched all 3 movies from 2012 - 2013 and am thinking to watch the anime series soon as well. Also made one of my besties into it as well. Ngl, I read a lot of manga and manhwa and this easily became my number 1 favorite. Now I can see how many of "classic" anime were inspired by berserk too which is incredible to me (coming from a huge anime lover here). However, I am not sure if I will be able to contain myself reading the rest of the volumes after volume 10 of deluxe version, online. As it seems that volume 14 (the last volume) is most likely gonna come out next year and probably at the end of the 2023 at that!

Owner of all currently released Deluxe Edition volumes here. I honestly can't imagine reading Berserk in any kind of smaller format. Miura's art really feels like it was *made* for such a large format.

Additionally, the ability to take screenshots allows me to capture and save my favorite moments from the manga.

I finally - FINALLY - got my volume 9 earlier today here in the UK after many delays and there's just no question that these volumes really do justice to Miura's style and meticulousness.

Thank you for this, im not a fan but i wanted to check it out since trusted sources say it's the best thing since sliced bread. And your video helped me decide how i wanted to experience the story. God bless

[@tomperetz1281]

Very good video !! Good luck and hope to see more of you ! 🙂

I love that you're doing these comparisons. This is what I'm always looking for when I'm trying to decide what version of something to buy.. I noticed you have not done a comparison of the releases of the releases of blade of the immortal. Or at least I didn't see it. Would you please consider doing a comparison of the different versions of that manga.. It's hard to really compare them when I can't really open it really opened the Deluxe version without unwrapping the plastic.

We love Berserk, very beautiful to see your videos and your passion.

Something interesting to note is that, in one chapter featuring the canon arm, a localizer for Dark Horse had Guts say "groovy", a nod to Evil Dead 2. Which then got removed in the deluxe version, which is a shame but not a huge loss. I appreciate you going through both the paperback and Deluxe editions. I am slowly collecting my favorite parts of Berserk since I don't have too much physical space to properly show them.

I have Berserk in my native single volume version, but god damn, the English deluxe edition is so pretty I'll have to collect it at one point!

[@cecil8587]

Nice vid and also can't wait for volume 41 to come out in english.

Least I now know what to do as far as collecting this particular manga. Thank you. ^_^

As a film major still one of my favorite twists twist with the big twist… i do not want to give too much away but i love this so much. Watching the movie made me want to read it and i enjoyed it so much more.
