Discuss. If you haven't read it, start now.

The attention to detail is greater then any other manga I've ever read, however the artist takes a while to release new volumes.
Loved the arc where schierke owned an army with a flaming wheel. And then that fight with that mage that creates creates freakin tornadoes, awesome stuff.
Also, it's most definitely not for children.

Do you find it harder to hate Griffith as time goes on? At first, I was like, "what a bastard!" but now it's like meh. He has that cool team, too.

I've only watched the anime, and I found that I disliked Griffith more for falling for power.

Yeah, I went from hating him, to disliking him, he's just too cool to hate. He seems to have that effect on people, we've even seen some people hate him and then end up liking him. Pretty soon even Guts might like him lol. It's hard for me to like him though because you feel for Guts and Casca's pain.

He might make us hate us again if he does something God Handish. Then again, I don't hate Slan.
Vegeta, manga. Now. Don't they not even have the Skull Knight in the anime? Baddest ass mamma jamma since Leonidas.

The new series that they're releasing now, the anime one, it's just a reboot of the first series right? It's not an actual continuation is it? That's the anime that GOT me into anime.
I used to think it was just a bunch of geek shit from Americans trying to be a different culture, but that anime opened my eyes...

They're going to release an anime continuation? That would be interesting. I've always wanted to get into the manga, but it's sooooo long. I'd rather wait until the author and illustrator died or finished before I start.

It's a second series Vegeta, but I don't know if it's a retelling or a continuation of the story. As a character, I can't say Guts is cool... He's more a beast than a man... and Griffith is just... a douche.
But the series as a whole is INCREDIBLE.

Guts is very cool, you just didn't see much character development because you watched the puny anime. About the length, trust me on this, just do it. Get your man britches on

Well, how's the anime? I never watched that, only read the manga.

Ice, as someone who's read the manga, I'd say the anime might make you sick to your stomach. If not, you'd at least be like 'bah'

I thought as much, how could anything do justice to the sheer goodness that is the manga.

The anime is good at drawing people into the manga. I might look at it in the near future.

True, but it doesn't work the other way around. Until the new series comes out. The animation looks ****ing baller

I think I'm gonna start reading it. I've heard so many good things about it. I know some manga take time to get to the good parts. How long does it take to get interesting?

I'm gonna warn you, its kinda dull at the very beginning. After he kills the second Apostle, he flashes back. That's when **** gets amazing. It only gets better from there.

I didn't know exactly when it starts getting interesting but it does sort of suck in the beginning. Start with when Guts meets the band of the hawk. You can't go wrong with that band, they're fun to read.

I dont think you should skip anything, just know that the beginning of the manga doesnt indicate the quality of the rest of it.
