Damn

I mean anyone that follows the series knew it was always a possibility given how long it has taken him but that still really sucks to hear.

Super talented dude and a great story that will likely remain unfinished because I can't imagine anyone taking over for him.

Dude was like 2 decades younger than GRRM and Miyazaki. He inspired a lot of games like Soulsborne and FF Tactics.

Is that a snide joke?

Holy shit... I'm gutted.

I just randomly thought about Berserk like two weeks ago, mentioned it to my gf and asked if she was down to watch the 90s anime. She wound up absolutely loving it despite the shocking ending, and she even started to consider reading the manga. Just two days ago, she asked me to replay the episode where Guts and Casca get romantic.

The timing of this is unreal. I'm shocked and she's going to be devastated.

This is the absolute worst, jesus. Dude had so much left to give. I've said ever since the Golden Age arc that if Berserk ever finished it could very well be my favorite manga of all time.

Even aside from how good Berserk itself is, I don't think it can be understated how influential it was. So many pieces of media have roots in Berserk. Absolutely one of the most influential pieces of media for the fantasy genre as a whole, manga or otherwise.

This is basically like if Tolkien had died two chapters into writing Return of the King.

As someone on reddit put it, Berserk was so long running and so influential in the manga and anime community there are series that are inspired by series that are inspired by Berserk.

The entire Souls franchise exists as it does because of Berserk, for instance.

Absolutely insane how influential Miura was.

RIP.

Never watched/read Berserk (was hoping to wait for it to conclude before diving in) but because of how influential it was and still is I knew quite a bit about it just from osmosis and because of its inspiration on a number of other franchises I enjoy.

54 is far too young.

I never got into this but I feel for him and everyone. Not because it won't get finished but I know what this series means to alot of people, and to him.

What a horrible thing to happen

Exactly what I was thinking. Damn the working conditions over there. If any good could come of this, I'd hope it'd lead to greater reforms within the industry, but I know better than to expect much.

30 years. And now it'll all be to no final end.

Thank you for all your years, Mr. Miura.

The original anime and the movies are good, the recent anime series is hot trash

The manga is godlike, read it

I need to get around to reading the manga. I thought the 1997 anime was quite good, and the movies were mediocre.

The 97 anime is pretty dated (tons of exposition, hokey voice acting from most characters apart from Guts), but it hits emotional high notes and I still love it. The manga is amazing from what I remember - I haven't kept up in a decade, but I'm obviously thinking about re-reading from start to finish now.

I've heard the anime from a few years ago is terrible.

Manga for sure. The original anime didn't cover much of the manga, and the general consensus is that the newer ones are bad (I haven't seen them.) Miura's greatest strength (IMO) was his art, which makes the manga all the more worthwhile.

Miura had an unmatched ability to express emotion through art and visuals without a single word of dialogue necessary. It's why the manga will always be the best version of the story even if some other adaptations make a damn good effort at replicating it.

Berserk is lauded for its incredible art, dark setting, and Guts's character arc (one of the greatest nerd-genre protagonists ever) - but I think Miura's humor deserves some credit as well! I remember a lot of Puck's hijinks cracking me up.
