Reminder that all of your idols wouldn't shed a single tear for you even if you died the worst death imaginable. Only normalfags care about famous people dying, reminds me of watching all the cattle in literal tears over that famous basketball player dying in a helicopter. How pathetic.

Miura was never going to finish Berserk and honestly turned it into a cash cow to milk his onlymanga subscribers. If anything his death let the poor lads free of his terror upon the series.

I don't understand getting emotional about a celebrity's death. Berserk has not been updated for so long it might as well been discontinued a long time ago. What's so important about this peace of media that you throw a fit when you learn you won't get more of it? Do you literally have nothing else to consume and just spend all this time waiting for new chapters rereading the manga? I wouldn't care about a distant relative's death much less a complete stranger like Miura.

I think it's fairly clear by reading the manga and looking at the publication "schedule" that Berserk is one of those series that completely outlived the interest and enthusiasm of its own author. The editors probably had a hand at pushing this title to continue for so long.

>Aortic dissection is associated with hypertension (high blood pressure) and many connective tissue disorders. It can also be the result of chest trauma. About 72 to 80% of individuals who present with an aortic dissection have a previous history of hypertension. Illicit drug use with stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine is also a modifiable risk factor for AD. It can also be caused by smoking.

I would say hypertension due to shitty diet and smoking but who knows. He doesn't look fat from the 2 somewhat recent pictures of him you can find online but you don't have to be fat to have hypertension.

Many, many years ago I remember reading he had circulatory problems which was part of the reason of his hectic publication schedule but I don't know now if that was 2ch making shit up or actual information.

I think it's because it feels fake since getting sad requires emotional attachment and I don't get people who gets attached to celebrities. You can call me a crab in a bucket and it's probably true but that still doesn't explain other people's reaction. It's literally an obituary of someone you don't know. Do I lack an essential human emotional component or is everybody faking it?

 No.36521

>>36518
It's probably more that such ways of marking the passing of a life are trifling and degrade the significance of the permanent extinguishing of the individual, much like a mass produced Hallmark card is a superficial way of celebrating a birthday or similar event. Typing out what is a borderline meme is not really a heartfelt way of meditating on death - of course you could say that you can't expect random people or even fans to care that much, but that's the point.

>wouldn't shed a single tear
Don't project yourself, crab. Not because anyone won't shed a single tear for you because you had never made anything good for anyone else than yourself, because you has not even one redeemable quality or directly because you're not a good person at all, it doesn't means that everyone is like you.

People can be genuinely saddened by the loss of an artist. Because an artist's job is to create art, and art produces deep emotions in us that sometimes we are not even able to explain, whether of sweetness, fear or beauty. The real artist always puts a part of himself in his art, and the reactions he generates in us inevitably cause a bond to be created between those his art touches and the artist. The question where you say that the artist supposedly doesn't know about you, how the hell do you know what the artist feels because of the appreciation others show for his art? You are incapable of knowing because you have never created anything for anyone else, which is evident by the lack of respect you show by coming here mocking both the artist and his supporters. Maybe it's because you confuse celebrity with artist, or maybe it's because you don't care about anyone but yourself and that's why you think that no one, neither the artist nor the supporters can feel genuine appreciation for each other. Coming here saying idiocy like 'you've never met him/her!', again, between those who appreciate art and the real artist there will always be a bond, because they leave a part of themselves in their work. But even if there is not this special relationship between artist and supporters, it is perfectly possible to feel happy or bad about people from the past or even fictional characters. But this someone like you would never know, after all, empathy is a quality related to intelligence.

Rest in peace, Miura. I noticed he make some things that he didn't like after very much in the manga, and then he try to change it. Which proves than, even if maybe it wasn't his priority, he cared about his creation. He leaves a good legacy in Berserk, and anyone who has read and appreaciated it knows why I'm saying this. I hope that in Heaven people draw as good.

Big post just to make an elongated "ur a crab and a loser" insult with no real substance. The reality is that Miura doesn't even know your name or that you exist, let allow care if you were tortured to death and left to feed the vultures. You are feeling emotion for someone whom you have never even met, nor spoken with a single time in your life. Pathetic behavior befitting of a normalcattle crying about his famous inflated ball thrower dying.

I called you a crab and then past to explain why you're just a normalgroid projecting his inability to feel empathy or genuine emotions unto other people. And that if you're like that, good, but don't project yourself so hard on others, crab. But again, empathy is something related to intelligence and I wasn't expecting you to comprend or even to read everything I said.

It was more or less for other people to read and to call you out in your NPC mentality. Not because you can't feel emotions it means others can't. Keep doing whatever inane crap you do and that nobody will care tomorrow, in weeks, or in years. But don't try to downplay those who do and those who appreciate it.

The Golden Age arc was the only good part of the series anyway. The most recent chapters were like reading a shounen SOL story for teenagers and had very little in common with the dark and gritty stuff that made people start reading it. As >>36485 said, it was unlikely he would have finished it, especially since there was no way to end the story in a satisfying manner after blue-balling and disappointing his fans for years. Considering that he was probably aware of him having the disease he died of long prior, I wouldn't be surprised if he intentionally turned the manga into a shitfest as a final troll before leaving this world.

He didn't give a shit about anyone. There was some event once where he was supposed to brief other artists on his style and techniques but he refused to share anything and would only tell them how they should go play Idolmaster instead. It's hard to imagine him caring about any of his simps, I'd say he'd at best spit at them but then he'd probably consider spitting to be all too generous.

The golden age was good but only because it was building up to the sacrifice. It'd be a bit of a slog otherwise but the iconic finale made it all worth it.

>any meaning to them or their artistic extension of self IE: art.
You can appreciate art without feeling emotions towards the artist, learn to separate the art from artists, or do their opinions shape your own opinion on their art? Artists are irrelevant, the object of creation is what matters. Feeling emotion for someone who couldn't care if you dropped dead right right this second is pitiful slavery.

>>36559
No person alive cares about their fans - which is nothing more than an abstract mass of people that at best worships them like a god, and at worst screeches at them for not following their insane head cannon fantasy friendship. Most of the people "famous" look down on fans as nothing more than losers who pay their bills because they don't have the skill/talent to reach the same field as them. The more one looks at "fans" of something, the more one has to feel the same, the identity and personality worship is frankly pathetic.

>I think you vastly underestimate how hard mangaka work.
Before I went full NEET, I worked with my dad during summers when I was a kid. I was ripping off shingles and putting new ones on, from 8am to 6pm. I was burnt, dizzy and exhausted everyday. And usually I got no pay in return since my dad knew he could rip me off and pull the "I give you food and shelter everyday" bullshit. Point is, I'd kill to sit in an air conditioned office, drawing rough sketches on a fancy computer tablet, then proceed to act like an old fart and tell one of my manga henchmen to fix all of the drawing mistakes and continuity errors while I lounge around fapping to lolicon.
