Elden Ring‘s upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree Dlc is right around the corner, and with it, new stories and lore within Hidetaka Miyazaki and Martin R.R. Martin’s twisted confiding universe. The recent trailers have given a look at what to expect from the highly anticipated expansion, including new weapons, bosses, and the game’s main antagonist, Messmer.
However, many in the community believe that FromSoftware and Miyazaki are using a clever bait-and-switch tactic yet again, focusing on Messmer to hide the Shadow of the Erdtre’s true villain, Miquella. It’s a wild theory, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

Anime and success go hand in hand, but sometimes, anime and disappointment also co-exist. Studio Eclypse is out there to take away that problem. Some anime come out with so much hype that the fan-following already stands there in full dedication. Some manage to live up to the mark or even surpass it. Others, on the other hand, fail to do so, gradually descending into a downward spiral.

The games of Hidetaka Miyazaki are unique experiences that will take players through not only grand and awe-inspiring locations but also those that embody the sentiments of darkness and decay. His worlds are not ones for the faint of heart, with danger around every corner and death your constant companion.
FromSoftware has mastered the art of creating such worlds, and the studio wears its inspirations on its sleeve. Berserk, one of the most well-known pieces of Japanese media from the mind of Kentaro Miura, is heavily referenced in all of Miyazaki’s games and the same is true for the Dlc.

Almost every mangaka tends to create a specific quality in their protagonists that draws parallels between the main character and the mangaka. However, this was not the case with Kentaro Miura and his masterpiece, Berserk. Miura, once in an interview, revealed that the character that replicated him the most was Pippin.

Pippin was one of the members of the Band of Falcons who helped Guts escape. He did not speak much, but whenever he did, it would either be a serious discussion or to offer some advice. Pippin had a good relationship with Guts in the series, and the two were called the power duo of Berserk.
According to Miura, when he planned Berserk, he initially thought of only five characters for the series and all of them were based on his friends. However, there were no Guts, Griffith, or Casca in his friend circle,...

Berserk fans are well-versed in the dark and goth elements of the series, which makes Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus one of the best Seinen manga of all time.

Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus, Berserk, features the character of Guts, who, according to the story, has suffered a lot and is still suffering only to achieve the one thing for which he started his journey. His suffering as a seinen manga character is one of the reasons why fans are so connected with the protagonist and love him so much.

Kouji Mori, who also happens to be the late mangaka’s best friend decided to helm on the project in honor of him. The series has some of the most captivating art and storytelling.

Kentaro Miura’s Berserk has remained on top of the psychological gore genre for years. Miura himself might not be amongst us, but he has left a legacy for other mangakas.
Berserk has always hit the sweet spot of dark fantasy lovers, and more so because it is not like a typical Shonen series. It is distinct from manga like Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Naruto and is more realistic. In a past interview, Miura revealed how his series avoided a common Shonen cliche.

Kentaro Miura was one of the most decorated mangaka ever. His creation, Berserk, is one of the most iconic anime in the seinen genre. Unfortunately, he passed away, leaving his magnum opus incomplete. But thankfully, his friend, Kouji Mori, has picked up where he left off. Berserk follows the journey of Guts towards the path of redemption.
Berserk has one of the most gruelling plots, and the protagonist has to suffer a lot. There was almost no happiness left for him after his friend betrayed him. When Kentaro Miura was asked what kind of ending Berserk would have, he gave an unclear answer. He opted for a neutral answer, and the fans started to believe that Guts might finally be at peace.

The Berserk manga is a cult classic among comic aficionados and fans of the dark fantasy genre, and the 1997 anime adaptation of the Golden Age arc of the same name is often included in lists of the best anime of all time.
Despite the fact that there have been two anime adaptations of the manga specifically dedicated to the Golden Age, the entire arc has never been filmed. The first adaptation by Oriental Light and Magic Studio was released in 1997, right after the manga's Eclipse chapter, the climax of the Golden Age, was completed.
For its time, the anime looked strikingly beautiful, with detailed character faces, breathtaking landscapes, high-quality animation, and a great soundtrack by Susumu Hirasawa, whose name is already inseparable from Berserk.

In fact, the only drawback of the 1997 anime can only be the fact that a sequel was not originally planned.

His presence of mind and creativity were very well depicted in his magnum opus. Guts’ journey to put an end to his former friend has kept the anime fans busy for more than three decades.
Berserk has one of the most beautiful drawings, and the minute details were done so well. But the mangaka said that he was not good at drawing manga panels. It may sound surprising, but during an old interview, he confirmed that he had a problem drawing manga panels. Kentarou Miura really went from being bad at creating manga panels to becoming one of the best mangakas.

The death of Kentaro Miura, the creator of Berserk, was a big shock to the anime and manga industry. His death was announced in May 2021, and the reason was listed as acute aortic dissection. Not only did his untimely death sadden his fans, but it also put an indefinite halt on his masterpiece.
Mangaka Kentaro Miura’s Berserk
No one knew what the future would hold for Berserk and its protagonist Guts, until a year later, Miura’s friend and manga artist Kouji Mori announced, along with Studio Gaga, that they would try to preserve Miura’s legacy by continuing Berserk without him. Although it was a tough decision, it surely worked in the favor of the series and the memory of Miura.
In an interview, Mori revealed how he and the studio came to the decision to continue Miura’s work and what kind of challenges they faced while making the decision.

Kentarou Miura was responsible for creating one of the greatest manga ever. Berserk’s popularity has always been on the rise since it began its serialization. Even though Kentarou Miura has passed away, leaving an unfinished story, he still gave the fans what they wanted. Currently, his friend, Kouji Mori, is in charge of creating the manga and published volume 42.
Guts and Griffith are the protagonists and antagonists of Berserk, and Miura sensei might have been influenced by his past experiences to give birth to such an iconic rivalry. During an interview, he mentioned his obsession, and it showed that he can be pretty competitive, just the way his characters are. His obsession led to the creation of a masterpiece in the Seinen genre.

The shonen genre in anime is one of the most popular, as a plethora of shows reach an insane level of popularity that is hard to match. However, this genre has a gem, which is Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter. Although the series has a faltering pace, Togashi-san’s manga remains one of the most popular manga series to be ever written.

Both the manga and the anime are commercially successful, thanks to the series’ unorthodox style of narration and world development. However, the series would not have been so popular if it followed the original storyline that the artist had initially planned out in his mental map. Moreover, the series’ editor played a key role in changing the story of our adorable protagonist in the most important arc of the series.

While Berserk may not be something that has the same appeal as its fellow manga and anime series such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Sailor Moon. However, there is no denying that the series has survived the test of time, establishing itself as one of the greatest manga to be ever written. Therefore, it can be proclaimed Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus has greatly contributed to pop culture, with its dark atmosphere and an outstanding antihero.

While Kentaro Miura’s manga stands tall as a towering achievement in the world of manga, delving deep into the complex themes of power, philosophical concepts, and the darkness present within us all. While one might believe that the mangaka artist would have a serious source of recreation, that was not the case as he used to find joy in playing girl games when he was not crammed in his workspace.

It seems like the only way for Mangaka Sui Ishida, after working on his superhit manga series Tokyo Ghoul, is up and waaay above others’ expectations, considering how his most recent work is gaining the same acclamation. In fact, after Ken Kaneki’s blockbuster saga from the early 2010s, fans are all set to explore this new work of the mangaka fairly soon.

Kentaro Miura’s Berserk is one of the top dark fantasy anime/manga to date, and Gut’s Dragon Slayer sword is featured in every image of the franchise. It has now become almost like a trademark for the protagonist to slug around the huge slab of iron.
However, it is because of the sword’s massive size that Guts can use it to slay the apostles of God. Every fallen apostle adds to the sword’s strength, making it more and more effective every kill. Let’s say that Dragon Slayer is no less popular than Guts himself.
So, indeed it should be surprising for Berserk fans to know that Miura might not like Gut’s sword as much as everyone else.

Soulsborne games are notorious for being difficult; however, the amount of love and dedication that goes into making them from Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware is completely unparalleled in the gaming industry. Masterpieces like Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Bloodborne have catapulted the studio into the mainstream, and for good reason.
With breathtaking worlds, stories, and weaponry, the inspirations behind such works require an equal amount of appreciation. Particularly in the case of Bloodborne and, surprisingly, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a world-renowned Seinen anime paved the way to creating these two jaw dropping experiences.

Kentarou Miura is a legendary figure in the anime and manga industry. He created one of the most iconic series ever. Berserk’s popularity can put any top anime to shame. Even though the manga is most likely to remain unfinished due to the mangaka’s untimely death, it does not stop fans from delving into the world of pure chaos and darkness.
The Seinen genre manga has put everyone on the edge of their seats. Guts’ journey became more perilous as the story progressed. Berserk has otherworldly characters, and when asked whether there are any references, Kentarou Miura named a famous film series that is over two decades old. Henry Cavill also acted in one of the movies. The film series that Miura named was Hellraiser, which was first released in 1987.

Call of Duty games are all about virtual wars, but Activision has been in an ongoing battle for a long time now. This war has been against hackers and cheaters invading their games and ruining the fun for actual players.
While the company has implemented various types of anti-cheat systems in its games, hackers always find loopholes and workarounds. Sadly, these anti-cheat systems are not super refined, and innocent players end up on the chopping block.

Call of Duty‘s anti-cheat is targeting more than just hackers.
When gaming online, it’s roll of the dice if a hacker will be present in your match. People who use software and tools to cheat in the game have the potential to ruin more than just a match.

A new anime adaptation of Berserk is something that fans have always wanted, and that is not something new. This is because the legendary manga by Kentaro Miura has never truly got what it deserved in the form of anime.
Although the 1997 anime adaptation of the story under the studio named Olm Team Iguchi, did the best they could with the available resources they had, however, the difficult journey of our main character, Guts, his quest for revenge, and his search for peace of mind, were something that has never been fully explored in the anime.

Before his sudden passing in March 2024, Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama had been working on numerous ongoing and upcoming projects, including the upcoming Dragon Ball Daima anime, as well as the ongoing Dragon Ball Super manga, illustrated by Toyotarō. The manga has been ongoing since 2015 and while it had some breaks over the years, the most recent one being in 2022, it has been confirmed by Shueisha that the manga series will be going on an indefinite hiatus.
This decision makes sense, seeing how Toriyama-sensei’s death impacted the anime and manga world. And while this manga was partially Toyotarō’s, Toriyama was nevertheless the heart and soul of the series and he provided the story ideas and basic plotlines that Toyotarō drew. The last time the series had been on a hiatus was in August 2022, but it returned in December of that same year; the hiatus was in order to...

When he’s not on the road bringing breakdowns to heavy music fans around the world, Boundaries and Crush++ bassist/screamer Nathan Calcagno is always doing something anime-related. Whether it is watching episodes, reading chapters, or quietly crying thinking about Gurren Lagann , he is a superfan of both anime and metal. We had the chance to talk with him a little bit about what makes him love it all so much. Tell us a little bit about where you are in your anime fandom. Nathan : So I used to build Gundam models. I have like 100 of them in my closet because for a while it was all I did. I have them all. They're all built. But it was so not healthy for me because I couldn’t stop. Because that's when I first started touring in 2019, I would get home and that's all I would do. I wouldn't hang out with people.
