I’ve heard mixed things about the writing in Berserk. Also, I still don’t like or look for reasons to watch anime. I just like how creative and fun some of Ghibli’s stuff is. It is also way less visually jarring than most stuff. More grounded and doesn’t have most of the tropes that I dislike anime for. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that applies to Muira-Sensei, Beserk art style is grounded, but it has some of the most visually detailed dark fantasy visuals in any kind of medium Beserk itself is very Western in it's art direction. Writing is subjective, but the first three Arcs of Beserk (Blackswordsman, Golden Age, and the Milliniuem Falcon) are considered some of the best writing in the dark fantasy genre by alot of people.

But how well-written something is, is not. I subjectively love how the Batman and Robin movie is written, but objectively it is bad. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then i'll say the first three arcs of Beserk are an objective fact in there quality You don't become one of the most influential fantasy works in the last three decades for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might give it a go some day. I’m not really interested in picking up a series. Two hour movies that I can finish in one evening are enough for me right now. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So yall remember the retconning I made a long ways back to make Roscrea more to how I wanted it in my head after becoming a better writer yes? With BT gone from the forum, I finally decided to make my own post-retcon map of Roscrea and I'm very pleased with how it went. @The Good Doctor @BigBossBalrog @ColonelKillaBee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality stuff. Again thank you very much dude! Having more knowledge of shit since I first started writing has not only changed Roscrea's coldness but it's geography as a whole. The Middland Plateau is the oldest, highest and the only mountain range still geothermically active in Roscrea. Plus I've tried to show evidence of severe Glaciation in it's ancient past. Which is why both the Broadwall Tundra and southeastern Roscrea (where there's nobody settled) is so barren and filled with so many lakes. It extended out from the Middland Plateau and probably early on in the Kalpa receded back and scarred the landscape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Been on a binge watching old Japanese movies; my new favorite is one called Kwaidan (it more or less translates to Ghost Story, and no not that Ghost Stories ). It's an anthology; a damn good one, though there's no central narrative. It's a collection of four stories of Japanese folklore; but unlike alot of Anthology stuff, it's almost four hours long, so each story is given alot of attention. Without spoiling much, each story is about a different ghost from Japaense folklore, It's not that scary, but it's atmospheric as hell. The movie, which was released in 1964, is one of the very first (it might actually be the first) color movies in Japanese cinema, and it's one hell of a start, because the camera work and shots are legit breathtaking. My favorite "short" is a story about a blind monk whose tricked to sing to the dead spirits of fallen warriors who died in the famous battle of Dan-No-Ura, the final battle of the Genpei war, in which the Taira clan made it's last stand, and the end result was a river of blood, a child-emperor throwing himself into the war to commit suicide , followed by all of his retainers joining him in the river to drown themselves. There's this really amazing scene in which the monk does a full retelling of the epic through an instrumental poem, and it shows the battle in this super stylized nightmare sequence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone does anything that doesn’t result in the exact timeline that the time lords desire, they disintegrate those people and reset the timeline until it plays out the way they want it to. So if Tony Stark hadn’t sacrificed himself, he would’ve gotten murdered anyway and reset until he did. Basically making it meaningless. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the creators went on and on in an interview about how there is a lot of weight behind the last ten years of movies, and how big it all was, and how important it all was, and then he proceeded to say that his objective was explain whey all that previous stuff was "bullshit". So to answer your question, yes. Literally, yes. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
