It's not /lit/, this is a comparison between two different artforms. And comics are a significantly lower one than the rest. But Berserk is isn't even on Tintin's literary level. It's more like the level of a Bruce Springsteen song. It's entertaining and exaggerated for youths, it's pulp.

It's excellent but it's not really lit. It deals with philosophy in an interesting and accessible format, though inevitably some of the depth is sacrificed.

I'm sorry that you're autistic and personally identify with Berserk to the point of obsession, but there's no need to rationalise the obsession and make Berserk something more than it is. Saying Berserk 'deals with philosophy' is embarrassing, because the gap between anything that genuinely does and Berserk's cliched dealing with philosophy should be obvious. There's some good characterisation in the Golden Arc, but there's no philosophical originality, even in the sense of Mura's personal reception of certain ideas or thinkers. It's on the level of the most mass spread, available pop-culture intake of philosophy.

Berserk is good lit. It combines innovation and tradition.

i was stuck on that boat with the rest of /a/ 10 years ago or i dont remember the time, waiting for a new chapter and trying to figure out who the spooky skeleton knight was, good times
berserk is alright
i can still recall the pyromaniac teen girl, that inquisitor who slams his face into the floor, god hands, forest monsters, grifith..

compared to lit, you simply get much more detailed character motivations and their feelings from books, sometimes you even get much more atmospheric environments even tho kentaur was one of the best illustrator i know of from back when i read manga

Berserk is infinitely better than Ulysses. Lit is full of seething pseuds who think reading gives them an edge over the average retard and you should absolutely ignore the opinions of them. They are all fucking losers who have no friends and obsess over reading books that they can say they have read to appear intellectual.

As a former weeb and someone who has been a fan of Berserk for about 22 years, it's never not funny how much you tedious fucks care about what other people think about anime/manga, as if it needs any more validation than it already has.
You missed the bus, anime and manga aren't niche anymore, it doesn't make you different - in fact, it makes you a fucking normie. One day you'll move past the entry level and find something that speaks to you. In the meantime, go fuck yourself.

apples and oranges desu since its a comic/manga
if you want to talk about themes and the overall story, its better than most fantasy series.Goerge RR Martin would seethe heavily and would find no way to cope if Berserk was a series of novels instead a manga series, since everything he claims that he does compared to the rest of fantasy Berserk does better

The ideas explored in Berserk are good. Miura leaned heavily on inspiration from Nietzsche. Although Miura kind of put his own spin on will/struggle.

The art in Berserk is what sets it apart. Miura had superior creativity and technical skill in drawing. He also had some serious dedication when he wasn’t on hiatus. He really set out to make every page a master piece. I spent more time just looking at the pages that reading it.
