Unfortunately a lot of the character momentum is lost during the final fantasia fairy arc， and the very obvious transition into digital screentones/compositing in volume 39 is pretty distracting， with what seems like three different inkers suddenly on each page。 The broken doll and penis monster imagery feel almost cringeworthily clumsy in their sudden heavy-handedness， and the series’ deepening exploration of the subtle strength of femininity（？？ jesus christ I wish I had a different way to fram Unfortunately a lot of the character momentum is lost during the final fantasia fairy arc， and the very obvious transition into digital screentones/compositing in volume 39 is pretty distracting， with what seems like three different inkers suddenly on each page。 The broken doll and penis monster imagery feel almost cringeworthily clumsy in their sudden heavy-handedness， and the series’ deepening exploration of the subtle strength of femininity（？？ jesus christ I wish I had a different way to frame that） starts to kind of tritely plateau when girls keep going “omg I love you just like a sister or my mom <3” or “omg you look soooo pretty”。 Casca’s dress transformation scene in particular felt spit-takingly silly and anti-climactic， but who knows， maybe that’ll be another one of those things I think about for two weeks and then decide is genius， actually。And then， of course， Kentaro Miura tragically passed away in 2021 at the age of 54， partway through the completion of volume 41。There’s nothing new to say about Berserk at this point， but it’s genuinely shocking how much of a cliffhanger the series manages to end on， and especially haunting how little emotional wrap-up or insight there will ever be on both Casca and Griffith’s characters。 This is， of course， absolutely meaningless next to the loss of a brilliant artist whose early death was very likely caused， at least in part， due to overwork - but I still expected to finish the series with a slightly clearer understanding of whether or not Griffith is……evil？？？？ I guess？？？ But like。 You know。 What can you really do about it。 I’m sure there was some made up fantasy reason waiting around the corner about how actually he had to impregnate Casca for plot reasons so she’d have the demon baby or whatever。 Idk。 It doesn’t really matter。Despite my criticisms of the series as a whole- the first Guardians of Desire arc is an edgy， nihilistic slog; the sexual violence and in particular one graphic rape scene make it basically unreadable for a lot of people; there’s a clear attempt to navigate the awkward self-conscious transition of adolescence that’s never given time to fully land， meaning there’s a really stupid drawing of the 12yo girl character tripping and falling over naked that I never fully recovered from- despite all these， it’s impossible not to talk about Berserk as a masterpiece。 It feels like an actual privilege to witness Miura grow as both a writer and an artist over almost three decades。 I’ve never read anything like it， and don’t know if I ever will again。 。。。more
