Well, as long as the ending is good, I'm alright with it. But I once saw this movie, 'They'... :shudders: You tend to be scared of shadows once you've seen that movie.

is that the one where they mark you as a lil kid and come back to harvest you later?

Yeah, it's that one. It still gives me the creeps when I think about it. The fact that my best friend lives across the street of a cemetery and that I had to ride home in the dark after seeing it with her, didn't quite help either.

The thing about"BERSERK" that disgusted me was not so much the gore and violence. But what killed me was the ending itself. I don't want to give away the ending, but I'll say this, good friends are betrayed, many deaths occur and your'e left hanging with your mouth open in shock thinking to yourself " THAT'S HOW THE STORY ENDS?! YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE KIDDING! PLEEEEASE!" The Japanese are well known for not ending a story with a happy ending, but they also have a knack for tearing your heart out of your chest. Let me tell you, when I was watching AMG, I was biting my nails on the last episode. I had already been traumatized with "KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD THE MOVIE"

I hate endings. Seriously. Atleast in a serie. Endings usually suck. I remember the ending of Ranma 1/2, it was just so lame. No wedding, no relationship, nada. And when it isn't lame, it's either disgusting or sad. Endings suck. Yup.

What I hate worse is an OVA that looks pretty good and looks like it's a series that's going to last at least a season and then abruptly stops after that episode. It's kind of a cruel tease. It's like "Oh you like this anime? Well too bad, we're only making this OVA episode and your just going to have to use your own imagination for the rest ". Talk about cruel.

haha that movie was ok...didn't really scare us. i thought the end of that movie was good. i was surprised though since they came out during the day. me an my cuz were like THE ULTIMATE bad guy can hunt you in the day too. either way yea most series have crap endings. it's like the build you up to let you fall, the japs believe in that sayin 'What goes up MUST come down'

nope never heard of it...

Yeah, I agree, Jimmy-kun. Or, like the television companies do here, they only show the first season of various stuff, playing them over and over again. Then, after like the fifth time they're gonna start it again, they announce that there will be new episodes. Obviously making me happy. :) Then they play the new episodes, which are great, but then stop like after the third new ep and start playing the first season again. I hope that made sense, in any case, it annoys the hell out of me that I still haven't seen the second serie of Sailor Moon, Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon after more then 2 years.

(I know, I know, but those are the only three played here. From time to time, anyway)

You maybe dunno about it, but Berserk is a manga before being an anime. And the anime covers about half of the manga. For what I heard, the story of the anime goes from volume 1 to 13. There're 25th volumes to the manga, and it's still far to be over. So of course, I can understand you've been frustrated.

Only one advice here : read the manga, it's definitly one of the best seinen I ever read.

I'll do that tchyo-kun

Dark horse recently started to translate berserk they are up to volume 5 releasing a new one every 3 months in Japan it's up to volume 29 and no sign of ending.

29 Volumes?! Wow, I've been buying them so far, up through volume 6, but knowing how long it is, that's pretty overwhelming. It's a great story, though... If only they'd just make more episodes.
I think Berserk's ending is sad mainly because of *where* it chose to end, not just the ending itself.(which was, admittedly, terribly tragic) Imagine if Kill Bill had ended with the Bride getting shot, then waking up from her coma years later... and it ends. Or if The Punisher ended with Frank Castle's family dying, and Frank living. Basically, once this tragedy is set up, the audience demands the hero get vengeance. Berserk ended before that could happen.

Berserk a sad series?Oo?
Here there is the manga but there isn't the ending, i hope to see it soon
