Skullkast

We sit down with a bunch of old people to talk about a bunch of old people in Elfhelm for our review of Episode 345, including the secrets of Berserk's ancient world and Guts' value to the future.

We discuss the new scenario written by Miura and how it stacks up alongside all the other problems with this new adaptation.

Things go more smoothly in the second episode of Berserk's latest animated adaptation, but it also gets a bit weird. Hear Walter and Aazealh's impressions of the latest episode and the immediate future.

Walter and Aazealh team up to offer their brief takes on today's premiere episode of the new Berserk TV series. Lots to discuss and not nearly enough time.

We kick off this ep with a flood of Berserk news, from the anime to the new game and the release of Vol 38. But we spend most of our time diving into the revelations we got in 344, including the introduction of several new characters.

Aazealh and Walter team up in person for a special, brief edition of the podcast. On tap: New Miura interviews, new anime news and our thoughts on the future. Baked beans!

Grail joins Aaz and Walter as the group tears through the first half of Volume 19, a portion of the series that moves at breakneck speed.

We dive deeper into Volume 18, exploring the heretical orgy, Isidro and Guts relationship, and of course one of the Skull Knight's most important talks with Guts. That's a wrap for Vol 18!

We forge ahead in Vol. 18 -- an intriguing portion of the series, bereft of most of our main characters. Instead we're treated to a new environment, and new characters, as the cauldron cooks in Albion. Meet Mozgus, Nina, Luca and Jerome.

We cover the big news about the new anime AND review the latest episode, where we're introduced to a new named character and a new kind of creature. Stay tuned for Star Wars: Force Awakens spoilers at the end, sans Walter.

In the final section of our Volume 17 re-read, Zodd finds his purpose and Guts discovers his weakness, making a promise he's kept to this day.

At long last -- the island of Skellig. Hear our impressions on this momentous occasion for Berserk, along with thoughts on what's around the corner for the series now that Miura has officially turned the page on the future.

We return to the re-read project with a deep dive into Volume 17, one of our favorites, which gives us a rare glimpse of the state of the world after the Eclipse. This volume also lays down the essentials regarding humans and their perception of the astral world and its inhabitants.

The thrilling conclusion to the recent Falconia section has landed. Hear all about how Rickert became an action hero, Garuda breeding habits, Rakshas' various cutlery, and Griffith gathering cobwebs on the palace patio -- all in the latest episode of the SkullKast. Stay tuned til the end for a brief Star Wars chat.

We explore Rakshas' new mask - and apostle form - as the Bakiraka manage to turn the tables on the shadowy assassin... for a few moments.

Silat, Rakshas and the Tapasa like we've never seen them before. We explore Ep 339 armed with a partial translation from Aazealh and Puella. What's ahead for Rickert and the Bakiraka? Reeeeeeeeematch

Rakshas, Tapasa, Rickert's decision, the future of Falconia, Ninja Turtles, Ewoks and Gaiseric?! It's alllllll here, folks!

Berserk is back and ... monthly? We discuss what this means for the future and how our community reacted to the big news. Stick around until the end where we all try to summarize Berserk in under 1 min (or 7 seconds). Guest starring: Gobolatula and Grail!

We immerse ourselves in the Beast of Darkness' introduction, an enigmatic moment from the Skull Knight, Miura's tackling of formalized religion, and end with a healthy dose of Mad Max..

We wrap up the Lost Children Chapter and discover what Guts is capable of when he's at his physical and mental limits. We also dive in to the beginnings of Farnese's character development, and tie a bow on Jill and Rochine's contributions to the series.
