We would like to express our utmost respect and gratitude to Dr. Miura's painting work and pray for his soul. May 20, 2021 Hakusensha Co., Ltd. Young Animal Editorial Department
Berserk fans on suicide watch lol, I bet /a/ is in a riot right now. Guess I'll go pop over there to see the depression, maybe call berserk a shounenshit and laugh at the replies.
>>36481 >Haha, a bunch of nerds suddenly lost an inspiration of theirs, and an abrupt end was brought to something they all enjoyed together for years, gonna go laugh at those virgins and make their lives msierable with my trolling because tey lost one of the joys in their miserable lives.
I'm not even a fan of Berserk but you are everything wrong with the internet.
>>36484 >an inspiration 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.
>>36485 I don't give a fuck if he doesn't care if I die, he literally made a great piece of art which made me happy so I fucking like him and didn't want him to die so soon. I'm sorry i'm not a bitter cynical cunt like you.
>>36488 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.
IM@S has now lost millions of revenue ;_; I don't give a single shit about Cuckserk, but this is a game changer. Shame the mangaka died early, but maybe low level shounenfags will finally shut their mouths about this (now officially) dead in the waters has been manga.
>>36489 I mean I wasn't really obessed with berserk that much, hell I didn't even read the last chapters cause honestly I knew this shit wouldn't be finished, I had hopes it could finish quickly or at least give it a shitty ending like gantz, but nope he had to die and it's stuck in some timeloop. Whatever, life fucking sucks.
>>36493 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.
Same thing is going on with Vagabond right now. At least that one you can check the book it's based on.
>>36498 There is the possibility the notes he left behind are cohesive enough for his assistants and editor to publish some sort of closure to the story. If they do release something, at least now you can expect an actual schedule.
Damn, the world lost a great artist too soon. Sucks that he will never finish his life's work. I loved Berserk and I am sad it will never have a proper conclusion.
Don't know what the hell is wrong with the trolls. But they are displaying typical crab in a bucket behavor to a T.
>>36503 He was probably just tired of it, it happens quite a lot actually. Like I mentioned previously itt Vagabond is going through the same thing right now. I can remember out of the top of my head half a dozen titles that went or are in a long hiatus now because the author is sick and tired of it. HUNTER×HUNTER is another such case.
>>36507 Vinland saga mangaka literally decided to do a 360 and make his manga into another manga… Such a shame. Shamo author gave up also. I am hero is another manga where mangaka father died and wrapped it up.
There is something about acting sad about famous people death that pisses me off so much. >good night sweet prince >see you space cowboy >sad_guts.jpg It all pisses me off so much I don't know why.
>>36513 >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.
>>36507 Vagabond has been delayed for a few years due to health issues and the mangaka being hospitalized several times. It has nothing to do with them being tired of working on it.
>>36518 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?
>>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.
>>36520 >>36521 He's a famous person, no one who presses f for him knew who he was in real life, never met him, and only knows him from a single manga. I think typing out a half assed meme is pretty fitting for something that bears so little significance to their life.
>>36480 Pretty evident he wasn't going to ever finish Berserk. Still feels a little sad seeing things that once were good wither and have an unceremonious and sudden death.
I wonder if IM@S people posted something about his death yet
>>36520 I am the same but cried over someone I never spoke to before as I related to them so I think it is best not to be too cynical. >>36517 I read that stimulant usage is common among mangaka
>>36523 Is it true he never worked on manga because of idol anime media
>gets the vaccine >dies 48 hours later >nowhere near done with Berserk
What a moron. He got the mark of the beast against a disease with a .01 lethality rate and dropped dead. It's ironic given he produced media that was against demons that put sacrificial markings on people
>>36502 >>36518 Idol worship is everything wrong with this world. You might as well praise natalists. >>36521 I even felt tempted to type in the government form website a message of mourning for Prince Philip who as we all know wants to come back as a deadly virus to reduce the population. >>36525 Too soon.
>>36485 >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.
>>36530 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.
>>36532 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.
>>36533 Yeah I never read anything ongoing. I don't mind a bad ending, what I do mind though is waiting 2 years for the next volume because by then I completely forgot what was going on. I prefer to just binge the whole thing in an evening or in a couple days if possible.
>>36533 Very rarely will I start an ongoing manga I fail to understand how people read updates monthly. Unless it is a gag manga it needs to be binge read. >>36532 You are so egotistical that the adoration of others is required for yourself to extend any meaning to them or their artistic extension of self IE: art. Even if you personally cannot care are you so utterly self centered that yoiu cannot even conceptualize why others do care and why should you expect those you mock to help an unbashful cretin such as yourself to understand? Rude prick grow up sunshine
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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_(manga) >Original run, October 1989 – present 19 fucking 89 I don't know why fans are so upset, the man obviously had no intention of finishing the story and it would've been cut off anyway when he eventually croaked in a retirement home leaving everyone with the same problem, at some point they had to realize that and accept the fact they're completely wasting their time and money, instead of feeling all shocked
>>36532 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.
>>36544 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. After the sacrifice the story lost all purpose and direction, the rest of it was mediocre to embarrassingly bad. An exception was the chapter about the hot loli monster succubus. Too bad she got killed, hot lolis are for loving not bullying.
>>36559 >>36560 >KnJ >Precure >2hu >Strike Witches What a gangster. He wasn't wrong though, everyone really should be giving attention to masterpieces like IM@S instead.
>>36507 Once any manga goes past the 30 volumes both the mangaka and the fanbase seems to get sick of it it's quite amusing really, but the serialization continues because it makes money.
>>36575 >You say this as if anyone should care about his personal views or lifestyle normalfag No need for the anger wizling. I was just answering the dude's question. In reality I agree with Miura's opinions on those matters desu
>>36534 Another post that is just an elongated "ur a crab and a loser" insult with no real substance behind it. Low effort and pitiful, the more you scream about crabs the more I think you are just a newfag trying to fit in.
>>36538 >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.
>>36568 >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.
>>36583 Yeah and I did farm work and construction. Just because something isn't as physical doesn't mean it isn't hard work. The work of a mangaka is highly specialized highly skilled labor. Would you claim that a lawyer, engineer, or developer putting in 12+ hour days every day with no breaks except to sleep isn't working hard because they are sitting down and using their brain instead of their brawn? If so then you are simply a moron.
>>36593 >Would you claim that a lawyer, engineer, or developer putting in 12+ hour days every day with no breaks except to sleep isn't working hard because they are sitting down and using their brain instead of their brawn? I didn't talk about any of those other work fields. Just saying I would kill to make money as an artist. It's a dream job to make money off of your own original characters.
>>36601 Most artists would as well, but it's pareto distributed on steroids. The the top 20% of the top 20% are the only ones who eek out a comfortable living. The rest get table scraps while NEETing if lucky.
This is the ultimate cuck. Spend Spend almost 40 years writing a manga and then dying without ending it. The only thing that could top that is someone producing manga for the same amount of time and when it's almost done, like at the final fight or conclusion, he dies.
>>36530 The people are saddened because they lost someone who was working for their entertainment. Man must learn to love the Creator first before he is able to love man. >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 Won't somebody please think of the children? Breeder logic. >maybe it's because you don't care about anyone but yourself and that's why you think that no one, neither the man nor the succubi can feel genuine love for each other
Do you not realize we live in a world dominated by high-functioning sociopaths/psychopaths? >>36538 >why should you expect those you mock to help an unbashful cretin such as yourself to understand He expects nothing from you. >>36568 >>36593 Dumb people work harder because they can't work smarter. It's back-breaking work for very little reward. Go ahead and make fun of slaves for being too lazy to devote themselves to a craft. >>36575 It would be disingenuous to say works aren't heavily influenced by private lives. >>36602 You can't be a successful artist without being good at self-promotion. >>36603 It's only that if you're not doing the project you love. People who do what they love don't care that nobody else cares.
