Finally caught up here too, and while I can't wait for the next one I'm sure Miura will make us do plenty of that. Here's hoping more Berserk before the end of Jan...
I happen to enjoy the shonen elements that have really always been there , just overwhelmed by the darkness of the world. I just hope Ism a either joins the crew or at least survives. I like her Genki I girl-ness, n would hate to see her as just another dead kid splattered for Miuras amusement :p
