So i am writing this review after just completing Berserk, and this is my first review on Myanimelist, so if there are some flaws with this review, bear with it, i am sorry :)
Firstly, i am starting with a direct answer to a question; the question goes like this "Should I read Berserk or Is it worth reading?", so the answer is " The question is not that is Berserk worth reading, the question is that are you worthy enough to read berserk?". Yes, it's that good.
Story: 10
At first, Berserk's story may look like a simple revenge story on the surface. But it is
...
much more than that. Berserk is a tale about the person who is not fighting a powerful foe, not having a dream or life goal (like most of the other anime/manga protagonists ); But, is fighting is his own FATE. His goals might seem weird from other anime characters but his goal is just to be HAPPY and to live a peaceful life.
The story is just perfect or near-perfect for sure, the philosophy, the polar opposite characters and their relationship, the foreshadowing of events, the references of ancient mythologies, the recycling of the characters of earlier arcs after sometimes, no characters get wasted, that makes the story just a perfect one.
Art:10
Berserk has one of the best art in all the manga's to ever exist. The Mangaka and my role model, KENTARO MIURA, focused on the detailing so much that there is no and will be a perfect Berserk Anime Adaption, it is just impossible to adapt one of the most beautiful art in manga into anime. And it is not like Miura was born with such talent ( i mean yeah he was born to become a mangaka but) But he improved a lot, i mean A LOT! You can see the difference in the art in Chapter 1 and The Latest Chapter. I mean really the art is just A PLEASURE TO SEE.
Character:10
I can't just tell enough how well-written characters are in Berserk. And it is not like 2-3 characters are well-written. No, all the characters, the whole cast is Well-written.
And the best of them are two characters:- GUTS and GRIFITTH.
Guts is the Main Protagonist of the series, and trust me, you will never get a better protagonist or even a manga character better than Guts.
And if we will talk about Griffith, He is the main antagonist of the series, he is as good as guts (character-wise), He is the great antagonist ever in all manga. I will not say anything that will spoil this great series for you so i will leave this section as it is.
Overall:10
So at last i will say that this is the best manga of all time in my opinion.
Thank you Kentaro Miura for creating this masterpiece for us.
I will remember you till my last breath and will be grateful till the end.
REST IN PEACE!
