MY MIND WAS COMPLETELY DEFILED BY THIS SERIES! - Berserk #25

You might already have heard this but I haven't seen anyone say it clearly. This is not the end of berserk. it continues well on in the manga. I suggest doing a reading/reaction of said manga if you have time, most reactors do after finishing the anime. Trust me, its worth it.

I'm waaaaay late but just to make it seem a little worse (spoilery but not really) that mark applies to his soul as well, so even after he dies weather by unnatural causes or not his soul will be theirs for eternity. Love everything you do and have a good day

I think I just realized the demon seed that brought about a generation of neto hentai🤮

Facts. Berserk, One Piece, and Kingdom. Though kingdom has a ton of competition for that spot

SilversLyfe

Dude wtf?! Why?

SilversLyfe

For sure, he should watch recaps, I'm sure there are some good ones out there. Though I'd prefer him to read the manga, if he can't, that would be a good alternative.

ArchmageVengard

The blooper reels for both the 97' series (and the movie) may help to take the edge off. They are also by far (in my opinion) the funniest outtakes of any dubbed series I've ever seen.

Pretty much!! 😂😂

If you don't have time to read the manga then you should at least find some YouTube videos that go through each of the ARCs from the manga

The Eclipse never gets easier to watch. Amazing art and storytelling, but so revolting

It's a damn shame you can't read the manga the story just gets better and better. Top three manga of all time for me

Spoiler Casca was already impregnated by Guts so the child growing inside of her was corrupted by Griffith. However lets just say not all is lost. A child will always yearn for their parents. https://i.redd.it/hm2kb80epdoy.png

if the cgi didn't brother you, you should do the new berserk anime , it takes place after the movie, its guts going after griffith not going say anymore don't want to spoiler to much.. if not that anime i rec devil man crybaby , it is crazy and F up like berserk , if you want to replace berserk with another F up anime , i rec that anime.. very good and F up,

Heavenly Demon

Wow thanks for the spoiler I’m still reading

Colin

Hey Curtis, theres a funny video called "skull knights a dick" on youtube, it's just like 2 minutes long. I think you'd appreciate it lol

Moosedog

As shocking as it may sem, this series was able to pervert a mind that was already THAT perverted!!

Spaz Boys Comedy

I didn't follow your reaction of this series, but I have to comment my incredulity of your title of this reaction. Your mind was defiled by this series? Does that mean this series is responsible for your patron appreciation day picture?

August B Denys

Thanks again for giving this show a chance! Even though you don't get to watch the full story, I still love this show! Most people hated the 2016 series, but I still enjoyed it since I got to see Guts kick some ass! Not telling you to watch it, but its there if you're curious

dogfish99

On the whole griffith thing. I think it is just as much what he became during his campaign and during the year of torture that made him ready for this. He had a lot of building up, to a being that was already pretty much beyond any mortal... Hell his last battle was defeating 30000 men with 5000. And then falling down to a person that anyone would pity, unable to do anything himself, barely capable of taking his own life. Everything was setup perfectly for this. Especially when you add that he had gotten a reason to put all the blame on his best friend. None of this excuses everything, but this was a very different griffith than episode 1.

Miklar Sihn

If you think about guts at the end here, it becomes pretty clear why the series is called berserk. Especially when we add that he is generally walking around killing the monsters that ate his friends as was shown in episode 1.

Miklar Sihn

Hey, before skeleton boy showed up he had to defeat, or atleast fight his way clear of, Zodd. The strongest being shown before the eclipse. So yeah, it took awhile.

Miklar Sihn

It's stunning, just how good this series was, Pal!

Spaz Boys Comedy

Thanks for this... I figured the skeleton dude was something like that, but I didn't understand the particulars.

Spaz Boys Comedy

Manga spoiler for the very beginning of the manga: You see guts murdering the demon that murdered corkus in what i remember as the first chapter of the manga... Making use of her and during the act, using his "lost" arm.

Miklar Sihn

You should also watch the 100 man slayer part of the movies, it is a really good and hype moment that is mostly done better in the movie. Not many moments are better in the movie, but that one is... Also, i am pretty irritated being this late to the party, all the good points have been made...

Miklar Sihn

And now for my final thoughts. First of all your right; Slan needs to shut the fuck up with her pontification. I hate all the god hand but for some reason I have always hated Slan the most. At least the rest of them can shut up some times. Slan just goes on and on about "oh how beautiful! the suffering, the love, the hatred" and bla bla bla shut your whore mouth Slan. Nobody cares. I will clear up a few things just in case they were a little vague. That guy who rescued them is the Skull Knight, and he is the enemy of the GodHand. Because of the Brands Guts and Casca will be attacked every night unless they are in a place protected by elf magic.

Fritz

You eulogized this VERY well!... The pure sadness of these individual characters and their demise is brutal!

Spaz Boys Comedy

Poor Corkus, he died wanting to believe it was all a dream. Though honestly, can you blame him? Pippin went out a standout guy, it's a shame he ended being used as a pawn to lure Guts into a trap. Gaston had actually closed his beloved tailor shop to rejoin the Hawks in rescuing Griffith. The movie doesn't show it but the series and I'm pretty sure the Manga. Show him having a weird tiny demon burst out of his skull. Judeau was another standup dude. He died trying to save Casca. I feel like you didn't really pick up on it Curtis. But he was actually in love with Casca, he didn't pursue it because he knew she loved either Guts or Griffith. He died regretting that he didn't tell her. Of all the Hawks his death hit me the most. Then we come to Casca, who suffered a fate no one ever should. Something so terrible that it drove her insane. Also they don't show in the Movie or the Anime, but in the Manga. Griffith actually did impregnate Casca, with some kind of weird fetus monster. Which Guts promptly tried to kill, while Casca (in her infantile state) tried to protect it. The offspring disappears shortly afterwards. Glad that you watched this series and sorry that you had to endure the Eclipse. It's great writing but it's also incredibly hard on the reader's emotions.

Phillip Ribbink

Curtis, when you said griffith impregnated casca you were half right. Casca was already carrying guts child before shit hit the fan & griffith did what he did, so when griffith stuck it in her, guts child became a demon child.

Kakashi

I don't think he has time for reading

John K

I had mentioned that, after I recorded this episode, I watched #25 so I could see what I would have been missing. I think, for a reaction, the movie was a better way to do it.

Spaz Boys Comedy

Curtis, I suggest you watch the original Episode 25 in your own time for consistency and cool ending shot similar to this movie you just watched. Plus, rewatch Episode 1 so you see it in a new light since it takes place after the horrible events you've witnessed. You'll really appreciate it since you'll understand why Guts is so tortured and badass in Episode 1.

Rogue Agent

This may be the worst blue balls i've ever felt because of my disdain for cgi, well on to one piece i guess..

JTUltima

I see it's on YouTube. That might be a good one to watch at the YT channel, so everyone can get in on it. :-)

Spaz Boys Comedy

Are we gonna get a blooper reaction?

The Muddler

Yes, as I mentioned above, I knew that, no matter what I chose, there were going to be people with issue to me wanting to see the entirety of the ending, due to the lack of aesthetics in the movie. Unfortunately, I thought that the reaction was the focal point of these, and so getting to see the reaction to all might be better.

Spaz Boys Comedy

Really wish you'd just finished out the 1997 series...

So who’s trying to goosher100 the manga volumes

Colin

I REALLY wish I had time for reading! I'd love to be able to continue this journey, along with a few others that are manga only. :-(

Spaz Boys Comedy

😄😄

Spaz Boys Comedy

Thanks for another great series, I'm sure you've already guessed it by now but this whole series is just the backstory of Beserk and it's called the "Golden Age Arc", the manga pretty much begins after this point following the story you saw in ep 1. Telling the story of the Black Swordsman, it's a short while before they even tell you the backstory and of course after this arc they pretty much just pick up where the story had left off. The story began in 1989 and is still continuing to this day so for anyone following along and has just watched this for the first time you should really check out the manga because this is only the start of a much larger story.

ChubbyDuckling2

This is literally the beginning, the story is massive

Congratulations Curtis you've now watched the prologue of berserk😁 Well thats basically what it is anyway.

Tony Gilbert King

The eclipse is the ending of the golden age and the beginning of a much larger story. Griffith has become Femto, Casca has lost her mind, and Guts has turned into the Black Swordsman. As mind blowing as that all was the golden age is only a quarter of the story that the manga tells.

A TEAM of therapists! 😄

Spaz Boys Comedy

apparently someone convinced him not to finish the show and watch a part of the movie instead? its pretty distracting that everything is cgi now. its hard for me to look at even. i couldnt get even 20% through. This sure as hell aint berserk episode 25.

Steven Fechter

Am I missing something? This isn’t the original show. What happened?

Eclipse36

Not sure if i keep missing it, but where are episodes 23&24?

Logan Bradford

Now imagine watching this and going crazy because you didn't know manga was even a thing. I watched this as a kid and didn't find out it had a source material until like 5 years later. Then of course I had to join the rest of the fans in waiting for the anemic release schedule. I recommend checking out the movies if you have not already done so, they really do a fantastic job on the fight scenes. And then I recommend either reading the manga or checking out the 2016 anime, just so you can see all the cool stuff that happens afterwards. This whole arc is basically an extended flashback to what is happening in the meat of the story.

J Johnson

Haven't seen the reaction yet but yeah, this title basically sums up how we were expecting you to feel. Now time to see the therapist :D
