      Usually nihilists end at the bleak world view. Recognizing that the world sucks isn't a nihilist thing. And believing you can find hope isn't a nihalist thing. Existentialism is the better descriptor here. It's by the angency of the individual that meaning is found. For Griffith it's gaining power. For guts it was just living and then became about Casca. Nihilism would reject morals and simply stop at life being meaningless. It doesn't expand on it or anything. Anything more or the belief to have hope isn't nihilism.

    Reading today that Kentaro Miura, the author of Berserk, has passed away, only 54 years old.
    I come back to this video to remember what an awesome series he left behind, and how sad it will be, to never see it finished. Fans have joked for years that waiting for chapters was like being in limbo, that Guts would never get off the boat, but now that very thing has come to pass. Guts is off the boat but he will never come off the island, but I am happy to know that he is surrounded by everyone he loves, even if his quest will never, truly, end.

    Guts is a character that feels so genuine and human.... and yet so unrealistic. In this day and age we have so much control over how we present to others and consequently we strive to only show and acknolwedge the "good and beautiful" parts of ourselves. Meanwhile, Guts is willing to embrace the duality, darkness and complexity of being human. Its so admirable that it seems to draw people to him but also leaves Guts largely isolated... sincerity towards the duality and complexity of the human condition is something I'm sure readers find admirable in Guts, but that most would fail to replicate in their own lives.

After looking at it closer I realized it depicted a scene that had not happened in the anime.
    At that point I realized ”Wait, the story continues!?” I can't describe the numerous feelings that went through me at that moment. I still remember that first page of the manga that I saw then. It's a scene from volume 2 when Guts finally confronts the apostle count in his throne room.

Why is it always madhouse and studio bones, they’re great and all and madhouse did great on death note, death parade, and some other good stuff, but wit studio did attack on titan and Vinland saga which are two of the most thematically and similar in tone shows/ manga to berserk I can think of, they were able to capture the complex feelings and tones of the multi-layered and morally gray characters and world so well through the music, sounds, animation, and everything else.

    A couple of years ago I visited Denmark, where Vikings originated from. I remember reading in a museum about berserkers, or warriors that would lose all sense of fear and pain on the battlefield.
    Berserkers would bite on their shields (if they had any armor at all) and were compared to bears (I guess the origin of the word berserker comes from the old Norse word for “bear”).
    Once the battle was over though berserkers were kind and gentle (or as gentle as you can be during those times).
    I wonder if Miura thought about that when he picked the title of his work...

    This video was one of the best I've ever watched on this platform, and I'm on youtube pretty much every day (usually for a few hours at least). I've often struggled (haha) to describe both to myself and others what exactly it is about Berserk that makes it one of the closest stories to my heart. For me, I could only get it down to a particular feeling. Something that I couldn't nail down enough to feel as though I'd done it justice in describing it. In my opinion, you've done that.
    You may never see this, but I truly believe if I ever need to describe to anyone why I love Berserk (and in the off chance that they're willing to watch a 30 minute video to do it) I'll come back here. You helped me to better understand in words why this property is so important to me.
