Cal Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I'm so gutted I just recently got into Berserk thanks to Bloodborne, just got up to volume 7 and been loving it so far. RIP Kentaro I haven't gotten very far in your story but I know just by reading those few chapters Berserk is special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatinumNumemon Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I have always wanted to read the series, but damn I can not stand unfinished stories!! It is so sad to see this happen. RIP ? Disclaimer: I will read the series at some point obviously, but now my motivation has tanked unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranari_Kai Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Thats really sad. Ive been following the manga since the 90s. It means a lot to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copanele Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 This is one of the news I really wish wasn't true... Berserk is my favorite manga, to the point that I feel it transcended the manga field. Obviously, Miura's work influenced alot of games, including the Souls series. RIP Kentaro Miura, one of the best mangaka of all time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Yeah I also fairly recently got into Berserk thanks to Berserk Musou which made me watch the first anime (the best one) first so I could understand a fair amount of the story at the beginning. He was really quite young too. Very sad indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandedBerserk Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Quite the stoic fella but damn this one hits different... by far my favorite Manga/Anime of all time. Rest in peace to the legend. Edited May 20, 2021 by BrandedBerserk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postofficebuddy Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Oh god, RIP to a legend. IMHO Berserk is the greatest manga of all time. Maybe even one of the greatest works of fiction. To think that he started this masterpiece at the age of 21. This hurts even more than Satoshi Kon.

Infected Elite Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 sad, watch the classic in memory. also yesterday (Wednesday), Paul Mooney passed away. A week before...

Phlegeth Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I'm at a loss. So much of what he did is everywhere. Bloodborne's been mentioned a lot. Mercedes from Dragon's Dogma looks just like Casca. First time I heard of Berserk was from Valkyrie Profile. The first party member you get is basically Guts. The Dragon Slayer is like one of the most iconic swords ever.

Golden Devil Gamer Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Absolutely devastated by this news. Berserk is one of my all-time favorites and Miura's work has influenced some of my favorite games. Berserk has been a large part of my life and to hear that the man behind it has passed away has me heartbroken. To think that he passed away nearly two weeks ago is absolutely shocking. My utmost condolences to his family. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzgurGunesY Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Berserk is one of the first series that got me into anime-manga back in early 00s. It is a masterpiece combining both Lovecraft and Tolkien elements in an awesome (and cruel) world. So do not be bothered by not-finished story, it's one of the best.

Cerlayjux Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 When I found out about this I had to Google about Kentaro just to be sure. Truly a sad time. Berserk is something that he started writing when he was only 23 years old. That makes 31 years in the making, and he never got to see it through. Rest in peace legend ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Really heartbreaking news. Rest in peace one of the greatest mangaka of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 It's sad to hear. I read up until the infamous Boat Arc of the manga a couple years ago and the story and setting really gripped me. I intended to wait until it finished to resume but I guess that won't happen now. And coincidentally enough I was just thinking of starting on watching the 1997 OVA soon too.

Ptirle Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Sad news, watched 1997 OVA series first, then the movies and then started collecting manga to read all from the beginning. You have influenced many creators, R.I.P. legend. Edited May 20, 2021 by Ptirle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrafalgarWarGrey Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Rip Kentaro Miura.I am an huge gore fan.Gatsu is one of my favourite character.Even if Berserk is incomplete it remains a masterpiece.For anime fans i suggest to watch the 1997 anime.I will rewatch it in order to celebrate his memory Edited May 20, 2021 by TrafalgarWarGrey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Eerily, I actually finally got around to reading the manga few days after he died, completely unaware he was no longer amongst the living until this news yesterday. Very sad news indeed. I'm not even a fan of the series and it hit me like a ton of bricks, was hoping it was just some joke at first. May he rest in peace. I wonder if the manga will remain unfinished, or be picked up by someone else. I'm not knowledgeable enough on the manga to know which would ultimately be for the best, but regardless, it's already had such a large influence on many people and other works of fiction, and it'll undoubtedly continue to be a legacy for a very, very long time.
