Does anyone care that Miyazaki stole the design of the Berserk manga?
I didn't really care about this issue, but when I looked at the analysis, 80% of the design was copied without any changes. Of course, this is presented as “Inspiration,” but when I saw the comparisons, the word “Inspiration” disappeared from me.

I've only watched the '97 anime and it was a very dark anime, and I kind of have to thank Miyazaki for that approach, but I'm worried that he won't be able to do anything outside of Berserk. Even in the DLC, a couple of monsters from the manga are visible.

So, if the manga ends, he will start stealing from other works for his games?

Between Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma heavily ripping off chunks of Berserk with reckless abandon, I'd say we don't really need more copycats.

Don't get me wrong... I love both games, but their reliance on being "Berserk: The Game" is a little too strong.

*burp* What I dislike is cherrypicking nitpicks as if subjective perception puts a product on trial.

Zelda: The Windwaker remains Nintendo's best Zelda game, and the HD re-release on the Wii U was the best version of it. Flawed, but beautiful and still holds up today.

They didn't copy Berserk. But they do homage it with several armor and weapon pieces along the way. Kentaro Miura wasn't offended by it when he was alive, we shouldn't be offended by it now that he's passed. But again, you just come in here to yell at clouds.

You are kinda 10+ years late with that particular hot take, 777, and noone cared back then either...

Lately, he has been making statements that they value and need new developers to create new games, and is betting on them. I assume that he is running out of ideas for creating new universes, as apparently the manga itself.

Tbf, it is a chunk of metal, so it is heavy.

Ive seen those replicas of greatswords, Artorias Greatsword being one of them, and the people carrying it could barely even hold it.

2 fire swords from ds 2 are the best that the souls series could offer.

this is false look at this

I mean, tbh, that sword is really thin, ironically, thats the whole point of that weapon in the game, the Zweihander being the lightest of the colossal weapons

And most of the greatswords in the game are pretty thick, making them a lot heavier.

I agree, the manga is amazing, kinda sad the anime went downhill after the first series, cause that CGI... my gawd was it bad.

At least theres that fan project that wants to adapt the Black Swordsman arc, looks promising.

Yes, that's actually not a bad thing. I'm even thinking about reading the manga now.

Did not see. Is this a movie? It just says so in the search.
