Yeah, given the context, a happy ending could simply constitute Guts dying after achieving his goals, like restoring Casca's memory and getting her to remember him, then BAM he finally collapses after all the injuries he's sustained.

I don't think the armor will let him die that easily, since it's pretty clear that is a big part of why Skully is how he is.

I swear to God, after this manga reaches its ultimate conclusion, Skull Knight better get his own freaking series.

[IronyOwl]

Berserk is on hiatus until they stop making Idolmaster games.

Crossover workaround when?

A lot of it is implied in little things like "hello struggler" and the cryptic warnings about "not having more than one you care for" in the context of Schierke's master and his friendship, plus how he responded to finding out she brought the armor out.

It is telling, I think, that he targets Void first.

Oh yeah Prisma Illya movie got announced recently. Forgot to tell the thread.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Looks like that's where they're stuffing the Shirou flashback arc into. I'm kinda dissapointed. It makes good business sense, but I was so looking forward to seeing the lolicons get trolled by Shirou's hostile story takeover. Ah well at least it'll have good fight scene budget. Maybe they'll add in extra scenes of Shirou fighting the other Grail War Ainsworth Dolls to fill space. The design for Zachary's Seibah henshin form was super sweet and it was a real shame that it only showed up for a couple pages in the manga.

On the other bright side, it'll be hilarious if it comes out in the same year as the first HF movie so that we get a double Heavens Feel.

Yeah, I was expecting them to do a 3rei herz or something but a movie is fine too.

[itisnotlogical]

Teasers for the live-action Ghost in the Shell are out.

They show basically nothing about the movie, except the "What are you" one implies that cyborgs aren't that common.

Scarlett Johansson still looks nothing at all like Kusanagi, but I'm impressed how well they've translated her hair from the manga into a real hairstyle.

Meh, no one looks like Kusanagi, not without a major eating disorder and a lot of plastic surgery...

[itisnotlogical]

I was getting at Kusanagi being Japanese, but didn't want to say it.

Ohhh... Well that isn't important.

The fan edit of the teaser trailers is so much better.

A) Avatar was made in America where the racial choices were very much intended AND as a lot of people say they would have forgiven the child actor choices were they any good.

B) Dragonball Evolution sucks full stop... and Goku isn't Japanese or even fantasy Japanese... or even Fantasy Asian (as Dragon Ball is sort of a melting pot of cultures)

The rule of racism is: If the character is intended to be part of the majority, then that role may be played by any person regardless of race.

Unless it is racist for Japan to remake Annie and make her Japanese

Though I will say I always laugh whenever there is an anime, manga, or something... where they do this extreme matrilineal lines in order to connect a Japanese born character to some historical character from Europe.

My favorite is when they connect them to Jean D'Arc.

In fact a lot of anime have this odd obsession with Jean D'Arc... Including one that is about a love between Noba Odunaga (dang I got that name wrong... what is wrong with me) and Jean D'arc... involving time travel shenanigans.

Though I can see why Japan would love the idea of Jean D'Arc. Many shows have actually paid tribute to her in subtle ways you wouldn't notice.

[Max™]

...or less subtle ways with stuff like Fate/Zero, Maria the Virgin Witch, and of course Madoka.
