But the golden age arc of the anime completely screwed itself by leaving out a lead character, so they can't really continue the story.Ikasury said:

really? who'd they leave out? i know in the anime they didn't mention Puck but they and the end was a 'fade to black' kind of thing, with the movies (1 and 2 that i've seen) they had cameos of the future crew which i thought was hilarious~ but even then, like i said, its an 'introduction', you really can't enjoy BERSERK without reading the manga in its entirety... just because i seen a series, doesn't mean i'm going to start EXACTLY where it left off, that's silly because anime typically leaves out a lot if it came out afterwards, but if its one of those cases of anime-first-manga-second they still alter the story between the mediums where you have to read/watch both in their entirety...Marcus Kehoe said:
Berserk Manga is OHMIGODWTFAAKJGLAJKGB!! Amazing! story and art wise, that and Miura doesn't skimp on realistic fanservice while at the same time horrifying his readers to just how f*cked the world really and can truly be... the Anime is 'shallow' by comparison, but that makes sense because it has different standards to achieve, its just there to give out an action-packed 'thing' for those who don't know about the Manga, anime spreads faster as a visual medium then Manga, which is why i treat the anime as a tool to get others interested, if they REALLY like the story, they'll read the manga afterwards, if they just want the visuals of big-guy with sword in f*cked-up-dark-fantasy, then the anime may suffice for them... i'm not saying the anime is 'bad', its good on its own, its just NOT the Manga, its a stripped version of the manga because of parental-codes or whatever and censorship, blah blah blah... but as a whole and on its own it really is a GOOD ANIME, even with its 'fade-to-black' ending... its like its designed for that little text box of 'GO READ THE MANGA NOW YOU PANSIES!!' XD
this is a reverse case of say Neon Genesis Evangelion, where the manga was just fluffed out advertisement for the Anime, because the Anime actually came 'first' even if the manga was released like a month before... just advertisement for the original... it think the anime of Ghost in the Shell can be seen the same too~ needs a big tagline 'NOW GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL MOVIES!! ... YOU PANSIES!!' XD with a following of 'go read the manga... you pansies~' XD still all good series in their own rights, though GITS is more of a 'each is its own story' while the other two kinda make my point *shrugs* if you like a series, you just take it in every adaptation XD
Bubblegum Crisis is good in that it started with a good idea (let's rip off Blade Runner) and evolved from there. Good characters, interesting villains and a soundtrack that oozes 80s. Unless of course you're referring to Bubblegum Crisis 2040 in which case I may have to hurt you =p. That series was not so good.MrsBloo said:

Balsa gets hired to protect a young prince...who happens to be carrying the egg of a demon that will destroy the world. It sounds super crazy, but it's very engaging. The relationships are done very well, and I love Balsa's character. She's a total warrior.
You can get the whole thing for free online at Crackle.
It's also on Netflix, the dub is actually quite good.gamernerdtg2 said:Madara XIII said:Ooooh what's this anime about?gamernerdtg2 said:Would Balsa the Spear wielder count as anime? I was really surprised by Moribito.

Why would you pay to have Netflix when it's on Crackle for free? All you need is a decent connection and you're good. I actually saw it on my PS3, believe it or not. It was back in 2011. Good flick.Korten12 said:It's also on Netflix, the dub is actually quite good.gamernerdtg2 said:Madara XIII said:Ooooh what's this anime about?gamernerdtg2 said:Would Balsa the Spear wielder count as anime?

I am just saying... It's another place and if the person so happens to have Netflix, then it's probably the easiest place to.gamernerdtg2 said:Why would you pay to have Netflix when it's on Crackle for free?
