Update on 21/11/2015
I have to say.. when I started reading this 12 years ago, I did not expect I would slowly start growing old and this one would still be going. Repetitiveness is nothing compared to the painful waiting. I do not have to say much. I gave up reading new chapters years ago, cause it was painful to wait for the next one and get all excited. Like it was mentioned and probably all readers feel, this is going to never end XD
One thing thought to comment; This was called a cash cow? How? By releasing 6 chapters a year? They are not milking the manga and the story. They are building it into a legend, so it will attract people even after it will be concluded and will never be called a fast releasing cash cow that has pretty girls to sell pvc models and cuddle pillows. A great investment at as it, I do wish people that started reading this and followed it since 89, will be alive on the day of the last chapter, so they can leave this world with no regrets or become earthbound spirits.
Usually this kinda of storyline is not my favourite kind. I am more of the comedy-ecchi combo like Love Hina so Berzerk is more or less the opposite, although I can think of worse ones like Death Note. I do not mean that Death Note is not good. On the other hand is more than good but its not my kind of manga. So I found out about Berserk through its anime. I was amazed that I actually liked Anime but something drawn me to it and because of that, a big empty hole was left after the ending of the anime. There is no way I would read the manga for another reason except the fact that I wanted to see the continue of the anime. Ofcourse that was how I felt in the beginning because as the manga continued I was drawn more and more to it.
I always believed that when something lacks at a certain attribute then if its strong at something else it can cover that. In stories the only thing that I do not forgive is a bad ending. Actually in games too. A bad ending to me means that the whole thing was bad. At any rate up to now (volume 30) I am still stuck and not tired at all. I can;t believe I read 15 volumes in one day without sleeping or stoping. This mangas really absorbed me. 30 volumes and still I feel that if it ends soon it will not be enough. I just hope the ending will be something good and not disappointing. I will comment this one more later.
-Edit-
I wanted to criticize all the people that voted 1. If someone gets to the point of voting a score so low ti means that they like manga of the same kind like berserk and they believe this one is not good. I always believed that peopel that do not like a certain kind of manga should not vote negatively for any manga of this kind since they would not like it anyway to begin with. Its like some stupid game reviewers that give low scores to game that they would not like to begin with. I remember an old magazine that reviewed games and there was a guy that kept reviewing RPG and giving them low scores and when he reviewed soccer,basket and generally games with athletics all had great scores. It was so damn obvious he did not like RPGs that it was like he was screaming it. So why do people that would not like a game and they knew nothing would change their mind to begin with, review it? The answer I got was a stupid one. He said that if a person that liked RPGs would review the game then it would surely get a good score. So he tried to show that since he doesn't like RPGs he can be fair scoring it. How can someone be so stupid and small minded? The game was designed for people that like RPG and not for people that would look for a fair side.
Personally I do not like manga of this kind but I scored it because I liked it, unlike Death Note that I disliked it so much but why should I score it. I did not like its kind to begin with so it would be stupid of me to go and rate ir with a raw 1. Well thats all I wanted to add ^^
