1) Know that your sons aren't the only ones learning strength and resilience from you. Thank you.
2) As much of a manga expert as I am, I've still not read past the first chapter of Berserk. I think it's because I'm constantly in such a state of fragility that I'm deeply afraid it might shatter me, even if that shattering is only temporary. I think I will read it some day, when I'm feeling stronger. Or perhaps, more likely, when I'm feeling like being shattered will have less dire consequences.
I think Berserk may resonate with you very well. I've been surprised by the beauty of it. I mostly just expected it to be about a badass dude killing monsters! And then all this delicate character work surged up!
Interesting! You're definitely selling me on it more than anyone else has ever managed to do. I know there must be something very special happening in there, for so many people I respect to think so highly of it. I wonder why I'm so afraid of it.
I find anything this long to be intimidating to the point of absurdity, honestly. Which may be why so much manga feels unstartable! Like, the prospect of staring down 20,000 pages of story just seems ridiculous.
But I think having that length gives you the ability to do some extraordinary things with characters. And Berserk manages to capture something very special here.
Been meaning to get into this series for ages. Every time I see it in the store, I'm tempted. So your thoughts on it are keeping that small fire alive, haha.
I've been watching Vinland Saga while holding my new daughter at night - ever try that one? It's incredible.
I watched the first season earlier this year! I keep meaning to watch more. I like it. Maybe one of the only newer anime I've encountered that I really like, ha
You should try out Berserk! I've been reading it online for free, since all manga is a serious investment that's kind of scary to commit to. Though, if I continue to enjoy Berserk, I'll probably buy the deluxe editions.
As always: damn, man.
