I have a gf who I live with. We both share an e-gf, which makes this a 3 way relationship.

Anyway our e gf insisted on showing us this anime Berserk. Said it was really personal to her and we'd like it. It started off simple enough, just some medieval fantasy thing. But then it progressed. And I wish I was glued to the screen from the very beginning because holy shit the payoff was so good.

I got to the end of the "Golden Age" arc. And I really want to crawl inside somewhere and die. So many missed opportunities. So much fucking darkness. I've never seen a show like this before. I sincerely feel betrayed, for the first time in a long time. I am so lost and just really beside myself. This shouldn't have happened and please watch this show if you haven't yet.

The scary thing is that everything I hated about this show SO much also scares me about myself. I can't hate any characters when I would be so tempted to do just what they did. It just shines such a dark light onto relationships and misunderstandings and I seriously have never been so lost. Such a goddamn waste. If anyone wants to watch this with me from the beginning I'd be glad to either stream it, or sync-watch it with someone. I kinda just want a hug rn. This show is my new favorite and I really just want to watch it from the start.

You should read the manga.

The creator, Kentaro Miura, passed away this year.  Assuming you watched the 1997 anime you should defs jump into the manga. 

what's the point though, knowing the story will never be finished? especially knowing how much of a commitment it is

same is gonna happen with ASoIaF too, and we all know it

If you take the entirety of Berserk up to the most recent issue, it forms a coherent story with a decent.  But then, there's a new issue coming out this month so who knows that's in that.

Miura left behind an outline and his own apostles to carry on.  I'd imagine whatever corporate entity owns the property will keep it churned out to whatever end he had in mind and keep profiteering on it post-mortem.

I didn't know that. Damn. My e girlfriend showed me Berserk in three "movies" where it was mixed scenes with the original anime and updated graphics new scenes. It was a little jarring at first, going from one aesthetic to another, but eventually it vibed with me. It's like in video games when the unimportant stuff is a text box the character is saying, but then when it goes to a cutscene you know it's about to be important

Anyway it didn't take me out of the show or anything. Made it better I think.

As far as the manga goes, I think I'd like that as well. Will just have to get used to the reading backwards thing, I like comics but have never read a manga before. I'd be very interested to read this story in a paper format though

did you break up that that
jewish bf or something

The jewish bf is now my jewish gf

I ever tell you how creepy you are? You're fucking creepy. The fact that you unveiled this with an air of smugness really seals it, like you intentionally orchestrated it or some shit. Its fucking weird.

You are the most loathsome poster on the site I think. I pray for all of the minors being preyed upon in your groomer server on discord

not sure if you recall, but the server in question is the same one she got kicked out of permanently for (among several other reasons) impersonating me to evade a previous ban in some unhinged attempt at currying favor with the people she upset in order to allow herself back in, the outcome of which can be read here when one of the admins of that community saw what was happening and told me that she would never be on that server again

some time later, spagelo ends up DMing me on discord to invite me to this very server, and i'm like "sure why not" because they do movie nights—i love movies—and it seemed like a good excuse to meet some new people with similar interests, even if they were all associated with a crazy fuck that i hate

i stuck around for about a year. i wasn't the most active member on that server by any means, and i didn't get to know anyone TOO well, but i showed up to movie nights when i could, and most of the people there seemed pretty chill, and appreciated my thoughts when i did share them (except for at least one person who very obviously did not like me, which is fine, but i feel like she just had a stick up her ass constantly which soured the atmosphere at times)

i had to leave last month, though, and sever all connections, because spagelo decided to go back on her word and let secondclass back on this server. NO notice, NO prior discussion, NO explanation. NO real reasoning. the fucking lunatic is just back now. "fuck what i said before, fuck what you're comfortable with, fuck the emotional distress this person has put you through—if you're not willing to forgive her, then you're just being a petulant child. this is what we're doing."

it sucks, because it was a nice group of people who i was hoping to develop a stronger connection to, but if spagelo really is so fucking stupid that she doesn't understand how insulting (and scary) it is to allow someone who maliciously impersonated me to be back on that server, after specifically telling me that she would never do that, and didn't even have the fucking common courtesy to ASK us first, then i will not hesitate to burn the fuck out of that bridge, because she doesn't get to decide who i'm willing to forgive, or who i'm willing to associate with. what a fucking creep

just a little bit of drama there for you, i know it's been a drought lately

If it makes you feel any better Spagelo has since removed me from that server for a completely different reason.

I’m sorry for impersonating you. I genuinely feel bad about that. You can hate me for the rest of my life and I understand completely. I really don’t deserve anything more than that. I’m not a sobbing wreck or anything but I can own up to my actions and I’m willing to live my life with the consequences of them.
