Infinite thanks to @bthump for the tag! <3
What year did you get into Berserk?
I think it was back in 2010-11, during my school-leaving exams.
Did you watch the anime or read the manga first?
I have a really fond memory of that ‘cause it was actually my father that introduced me to the 1997 Anime. He knew I was stressed because of my exams, knew that I liked “Japanese cartoons” and bought randomly the entire DVD set for me. Thanks to those DVDs, every day was a blast – after studying, I watched *one* episode per day - and the exams didn’t seem so stressful anymore. After reaching the ending, I had to know what happened next and bought the manga.
Who’s your favorite character and why?
Griffith. He absolutely has one of the most compelling case for “turning to the dark side” that I have ever seen. But to be honest, that thought didn’t immediately came to me when I was watching the Anime. I loved his great military mind, his charisma, how he would turn from a giggling child to a ice-eyed murder machine (I remember I particularly appreciated the fact that he never initiated a conflict with someone, but his unscrupulous response was just in retaliation after one attacked him) … and of course, I loved his relationship with Guts, also one of the principal reasons that makes this story such a good tragedy.
Do you have a favorite story arc?
I have to give this one to the Golden Age, for obvious reasons … but in second and third position I have the Black Swordsman arc (that actually was my first introduction to an “anti-hero” character like Guts and I found it utterly fascinating) and the Lost Children (“Peter Pan” through Kentaro Miura’s eyes was deliciously disturbing and I couldn’t have asked for anything better)
What are your top 3 ships?
Griffith/Guts; Farnese/Casca; and Sonia/Irvine (this one is not a romantic ship, but more of a “fluffy friendship” in my head ^^;)
Who’s your favorite apostle?
Irvine. He’s perfect. I don’t know, I just find him adorable. His quiet demeanor, his look and his interactions with Sonia make him very endearing to me.
Is there a character you’d know that you’d be friends with?
I think I can see myself getting along pretty well with Sonia. We could fawn over all the sexy monsters together XD
Who’s your favorite God Hand?
Slan. She’s beautiful, can appreciate a good tragedy (she’s even moved to tears by the drama, and that’s a mood!) and being tore apart has only the effect of giving her an orgasm, and frankly all of us should take a leaf from her book U.U
You’re allowed to bring one character back from the dead. Who are you bringing back?
As much as I’d like to bring back Rosine so she and Jill can crown their love dream … In the end, I’d bring to life Adonis. I think it would be interesting to see how things would evolve (especially for Guts) with him back.
I tag everyone that wants to do it ^^ Have fun, folks!
