Do you consider it strange, that Neogriffith became even more feminine than the original human Griffith? Whenever I look at him in the newer version, I do think...That is basically a woman´s face right now and that was not yet the case with human Griffith. Do you think this could be partly intentional or is it merely a change that occur due to time and change of production?

I don't think it's meant to be understood as a difference in Griffith's actual physical appearance. I think it's an evolution in Miura's art style. Miura drew Griffith as incredibly pretty during the Golden Age as well, but his looks varied a lot more. But imo he did tend to get more consistently pretty as the arc went on, til the torture. He also looks very pretty in flashbacks to the Golden Age, eg:

Here's him looking super feminine in chapter 2:

And here's an example of him looking extremely feminine in one panel, and then less so in the next, in chapter 9:

Now I have made the argument that Griffith looks extra pretty from Guts' point of view (using those images as an illustration in fact lol), so I think you can definitely make a case that NeoGriffith looks pretty because he's "more Griffith," as someone (I think Owen?) says at one point, and he's embodying the impression he used to leave people, including Guts, with. He's personifying desire, to an extent.

Buuut I kinda think that's a happy accident that happens to fit the themes lol. I think Griffith's shift in appearance is just a lot more noticable than, say, Guts', because we didn't see him for like a hundred chapters between the Golden Age (or really, him getting tortured, since that kinda put a damper on his prettiness) and the Millenium Falcon arc.

But I don't think he's meant to look different. Guts specifically notes that he looks exactly the same as he did as a human when he first lays eyes on NeoGriffith:

Anyway, yeah, I don't think it's a deliberate choice to make him more pretty as NeoGriffith, and in-universe I don't think we're meant to understand that he got magical plastic surgery - at best I think NeoGriffith probably looks like human Griffith on his best days, every day - but I think the art does nicely emphasize NeoGriffith's existence as the image Griffith used to try to project.

Thanks for the ask!

Whats your biggest dissapointment when it comes to the current chapters?

Like the non-Miura chapters? The lack of nuance of expression. Miura was absolutely incredible at visual emotion imo, it's the thing I loved most about his art. Some of his panels give me sympathetic tears the way only incredibly good actors crying can lol. Granted, the Fantasia art shift fucked with it a little, but I still think he had some great emotional subtlety going. But now everyone just looks flatter.

The biggest difference to me is Griffith. Like, observe:

Hill of Swords era. There's smugness there, in an otherwise true neutral, emotioness expression, but also maybe a little tenderness, a little wistfulness possibly feigned, possibly not, but fitting for the nostalgia vibe. This is a Griffith who feels superior for having "lost" his emotions, while able to deny feeling anything, upon seeing the man he loves up close for the first time since he sacrificed him. It's beautifully subtle but conveys the vibe perfectly.

vs

I feel like Studio Gaga is aiming for the same kind of subtle smugness and totally missing the mark so he just looks hilariously evil.

I've seen people suggest that the problem might be his pupils being too small, which I could definitely see, but I also think that in general there's just a lack of Miura's way with subtlety. If Miura drew this I think Griffith would look much more neutral, maybe still smug or triumphant but in a subtle way rather than a cackling villain way lol.

Like here's NGriff confronting Ganishka. Wholly aloof and superior and secure in his power, and still not cackling villain territory:
