Of course, greatest manga ever written. I'm up to the latest chapter, what's your favorite story arc? Mine is the retribution arc when gutts goes to retrieve caska from the witch hunters. 🙂

currently though i am not happy with the inclusion of the kushans and the pishachas. i prefered it with allusions to karma and buddhism/hinduism rather than actual eastern characters coming into the picture. it seems to have weakened the power of the manga since it's has mainly been the old school, gothic type.
what are your views on it?
oh and any idea when the next issue is coming out?

I actually thought the kushans were a great enemy. I always wanted to see a little more eastern characters like the bakaraki. [however it's spelled]. But, I see what you mean, Beserk seems to focus on a Western type setting. Pulling out the Kushans could be a little random. But, they are a good enemies?
they are, yeah, i agree with you. i just think it's execution could've been done better or that they get a smaller role. there is only so much of crocs and elephants fighting on two legs with spears you can stand 😐
btw, some of the criticism amongst hardcore fans is the slow pace of it at the moment. with guts busted up as much as he is, i can't say it doesn't make sense though. but yeah, muira really needs to put his butt into it again. the last issue came out 3 months ago.
oh and recently muira said that berserk is about to come to an end. that could mean another 10 or 20 issues. i just hope muira doesn't f--k it up like most other epic mangas wind up becoming.
dude, aside from Hokuto no ken most of the "greats" don't really live up to the hype. bleach is dumb really. its something that can be resolved in less than 100 episodes any day in the weak but they just keep bringing in dumbass things. i saw around 20 episodes, found out that there are over 100 with another 50+ as plain fillers and just stopped altogether.
naruto is the same story. the same is going on for Hajime no ippo, the boxing anime. with every fight it gets dumber and dumber since they have to come up with new ways to make the hero look unbeatable.

I dropped Naruto after the manga~ka proved that he couldn't write for jack. Bleach just drags on and on and on. I haven't read Ippo, but I heard it's good. The manga I read right now, in order of my favorites:
1.One Piece
2.Beserk
3.Gantz
