Berserk WIP by AndgIl on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will. Man takes up the sword in order to shield the small wound in his heart sustained in a far-off time beyond remembrance. Man wields the sword so that he may die smiling in some far-off time beyond perception."

--- Narrator. Berserk, Volume 5, chapter 3.

Berserk is a thumping good read. I was horrified at first by its content, but then I discover just how deep and complex the narrative, themes and characters are, beneath the initial veneer of horror and violence. Now I very much enjoy it. And all the fights and battles are exquisitely drawn scenes of pure awesome, guaranteed to satisfy any adrenaline junkies readers with a thirst for combat. Highly recommended.
