[@starfox300]

"A man who stands alone in the darkness." I think this is such a great quote, Guts is facing all the suffering by himself, he is facing the whole world alone. And the world still can't manage to kill him.

You forgot to mention that the world still cant make a decent anime on this masterpiece.

[@7Roxer]

@@Godloveszaza I dont think this is necesarilly the case. I think that the good animation studios wont take this because it'd be a public relations nightmare. With all the nudity, rape, brutal killing, torture, and other really sick stuff, it only makes sense why noone would be able to get it out onto a platform.

[@jokerjolerr]

@@7Roxer that's just how good berserk is

[@KyleGD]

@@7Roxer sad. I want to see it in a new proper anime adaptation with the full arcs showing everything in the manga. 1997 missed some parts but it's still awesome. I just wish they followed the manga accurately but they probably didn't have that much budget left so I can't blame them.

Guts is one of my favorite fictional characters ever, definitely top 3 of all time. In fact, he’s more than a character to me. He’s a role model. I can only wish that one day Berserk gets the proper anime adaptation it deserves. This series needs to hit a wider audience.

[@serism]

i feel like berserk is unadaptable. the detail and the general environment for berserk is too much for some; but i feel that reading the manga would be a much greater experience. the black and white fits perfectly. the idea of color in berserk (other than red) just doesn't feel right to me. just a personal thought tho

I just started the manga a couple weeks ago and I have to say it’s literally my favorite story by far of any manga ever. There is so much that relates to humans not giving up and and to continue to fight and have something to fight for. To struggle. Because that IS life. This video exemplifies how amazing this story is and how Guts is probably the most human and realistic character in story-telling. Thank you for making this. And thank you Kentaro Miura for giving us Berserk. RIP. “If there is one thing I know, for sure, is that a human soul doesn’t endure pain for no reason…”

@@Doov007 Without a purpose, the human mind simply gives out when it's experiencing too much pain. It regresses, it breaks. With conviction, and purpose, a person has a REASON to endure the pain and yet keep going, instead of shutting in on themself and abandoning reality. Guts has a purpose, he needs to protect Casca, without that, he'd have simply disappeared into his own mind.

Not gonna lie 5:20 to 6:20 is my favorite part of the video due to just how insane those cuts,screen flickers, dialogue, and music sync are to each other!

Guts is the hardest and most badass and powerful character ever written in a manga or anime to me why? HE HAS NO LIMITS No mother No love Best friend betrayed him Saw his entire adopted family murdered around him Was held down as his BEST FRIEND someone he considered a BROTHER DEFILED the love of his life RIPPED OFF his OWN ARM to just TRY and kill him And ALMOST SUCCEEDED IN THE MOMENT Everytime he has lost to a more powerful character He comes back and DESTROYS THEM after growing more powerful than them Guts is the original God Butcher The OG demon Slayer Like honestly if he appeared in any other anime Like Dragon ball Or one punch man I believe every other character Would be FUCKING terrified of him… And they should be This man literally went from the guy who saw the demons in the dark To the thing that demons fear lurks in the dark……

“A man is a man not because of his powers or gifts…he is not a god nor selfish like a devil he cannot manipulate the world to his desires as gods and devils do,he is not a monster for monsters feel nothing and are senseless and unforgiving….he is a man…and a man feels everything he feels every sting of betrayal, every fiber of hatred, every ounce of rage, every grain of love,and every drop of soul shattering sorrow. He is a man because he makes mistakes that hurt and that can scar him or those he loves that can leave him with losses that ensure he will never be the same……he is a man because he does struggle and he does fight because of those feelings because of that rage,love,betrayal,and sorrow he has felt his whole life…. You ask me what advantage we as men could possibly have over gods and demons it is this The god may cut off my arm and the devil may put out my eye and they may take my friends in front of me and make me watch as my family is tortured and raped before there killed and even then after all that with no powers….no tricks…..that same man That man that gods and devils think they have broken shall spit his blood at there feet grab his sword rise and scream in a rage that makes them shiver he is a man not because he has powers or tricks But because through sheer force of Will when everyone and everything is taken from him he will rise Look his gods and the devils in the eyes and say “Is that all you’ve got..”
