#by including much of the more cruel and horrific and darker more imaginative stuff

I hate to say it but a lot of the fucked up stuff in Berserk is what makes it good actually

#and i do not mean this in an edgelord way but just like #the darkness of the world makes the light parts shine harder in contrast #makes the struggle of the characters attempting to salvage their humanity and hope and relationships and happiness more impressive to watch #not to mention just how much of the worldbuilding and art style and themes are only able to be fully expressed #by including much of the more cruel and horrific and darker more imaginative stuff #i am thinking about this because of watching the berserk 97 anime btw #like im not sure i would even want to watch some of the worst parts of the berserk manga animated bc its hard to stomach #but ALSO seeing the story toned down and made a bit more run of the mill and tame and less fantastical and intense #isnt really doing it for me either? #definitely glad i was first introduced to it with the manga i just dont think any adaptation #will quite be able to compare #berserk #p
