I started reading the Deluxe Edition Berserk about five months ago because of your reviews, Omar. I had literally never read it or seen any of the anime before. I love fantasy and the dark fantasy in Berserk has blown me away. I was shocked at Miura's passing. Terrific tribute here, my friend.
This was a fantastic tribute. I don't think I would of read Berserk if it wasn't for Dark Souls and the extra time during quarantine. I just haven't read many Manga in general, only really finishing Slam Dunk, GTO, and Samurai X (all fantastic). Slam Dunk was what got me into that whole world, as someone who grew up playing basketball and dealt with the hardships, hooliganry, injuries and friendships, it just really connected, and validated the art form for me. Only after finishing Berserk did I also find out how legendary Inoue is considered, and look forward to getting into Vagabond soon. When I finally took the time to watch the 97 anime to see the inspiration for Artorias, I was genuinely blown away. Went on to read the manga and Berserk hit so damn hard. I haven't binged a series of books like that in so long. It's been a few months now after finishing it, and it's almost still kinda shocking, in it's graphic style, subject matter, and how fantastically it handles it all. Even without an ending, it's such a satisfying read. From a new fan It was beautiful to hear how it's been a part of your life for 20+ years now. Thank you for putting Miura's work in other people's hands. I think his work will take on a new life during this time of mourning. I think using your platform to genuinely express how it has impacted you will bring more flames to Miura's bonfire. May he rest in peace while we celebrate his life's work.
My dad died in 2008 and I remember being destroyed and not knowing what to do. A wise man told me as long as you talk about your dad and never forget him then he’s never really gone. So as long as we keep buying his books and reading berserk and talking about it he’s never gone. Legends never die. Kentaro Miura Forever.
“He died doing what he wanted, no matter what right? I bet he was happy” - Guts. Rest in peace legend you will be immortalised in our hearts forever, you will never truly be dead to us. Thank you for everything. 😞❤️
Kentaro Miura loss is a tragedy. Even as someone who didn't read much of Berserk(that will change) I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as an artist. Easily in a league of his own with regards to his art and it baffles me someone could put images of that much detail and clarity in black and white. But what I respect Miura also is how he influenced so many people. Without Berserk games like Dark/ Demon Souls, Monster Hunter, Sekiro wouldn't exist. Heck, the Castlevania series from Netflix was inspired a lot by Berserk. In short, Miura shaped dark fantasy and inspired countless mangaka. Some of which are my favorite. So I have to be thankful towards Miura for touching the hearts and minds of so many people. RIP, Miura. Your work/ legacy won't be forgotten.
In the same boat as you, it's awful to have lost Miura. In 2005 when I was 12 I bought a copy of the first volume, and it stuck with me. Because there weren't a lot of volumes I started watching the 90's anime when starting highschool and I was completely blown away. The song 'Forces' got me through a ton of hardships in high school and it meant a lot to me. Susumu Hirasawa and Kentaro Miura went hand in hand like they were part of the band of the hawk themselves. It made me happy. Kept recommending it to people where I live and they were all in love with it. Thank you to make this video, cheers to you Omar, and most of all to Miura-san. May he rest in peace, Berserk shall never die.
Keep struggling Omar never give up buying the berserk deluxe edition after watching your review of the first deluxe edition volume was the best decision of my life i was going through depression at that I had several moments where I thought that I should kill myself but then I read berserk and hooked so much that I bought all the tankabons in 2 months and completed them after reading I was so motivated to live my life to the fullest so a big thanks to you man 🙏
I haven’t read Berserk yet, but I know how important the series is to not only the manga and anime world, but many, many forms of fiction. Guts inspired Cloud, Ike, Dante, and several more characters. And the art was absolutely mind-bogglingly beautiful. R.I.P. Kentaro Miura. You will forever be a legend.
God I love Berserk, the only books I preorder, the 1997 anime came in a rough moment in my life, and I loved it so much. Almost 20 years with Berserk. And I love it with all my heart. My favorite manga, my favorite books, it even inspire my favorite video game, Dark Souls. And also made me start my hc, manga, omnibus collection. Not enough words to describe what Berserk means to me. Thanks Omar for this video. And thanks Miura, amazing book, story, art, and my favorite Mangaka. Rest in peace. You will always be remembered.
I first found your channel because of Berserk Deluxe volume 1. I had previously read most chapters but wanted to actually buy them and found out the deluxe was a thing and your video convinced me. Everything you said about the story and Guts really hit me, it really did help me through a tough time and I’m forever grateful to Miura and may he Rest In Peace. Keep up the great work, Omar
This hits me harder than anyone else’s death. I was fortunate enough to read all of his stuff when it gets released cause I live nearby Dark Horse HQ. Even after days later I’m still crying rivers because it feels like loosing a best friend. Thank you for everything you’ve done Miura, May your soul ride on with Skull 💀 Knight in the afterlife...
@@NearMintCondition someone needs to make the reaper template Skull 💀 Knight/Reaper: It is time to go... Miura: Was I a good Mangaka? Skull 💀 Knight: No. You were the best...
Berserk has been in my life for a little more than 10 years. I found it at a time when I had nothing going for me, and I started watching anime. I happened across the 97 berserk. When I got to the cliffhanger I found myself dying to know what happened. I looked for season 2 or anything and I found the manga online. As I started to read it I became even more enthralled with the complex story and the fantastically beautiful pages. Once I had caught up to where miura was in telling his story I went back and read it three more times in a row waiting for the next chapters to come out.. at the time for me it was an escape from everything that was s***** in my life. I admired guts as a character so much that I stopped blaming everything that's wrong on everyone and everything else for why my life was in the state it was in, and I started to take control of my destiny. I have a good life now, but it will forever be in part thanks to this book, and be less fulfilling knowing that a true master of art and storytelling is now gone, and that this masterpiece will most likely never be completed... It literally hurts my soul.
R.I.P. Kentaro Miura For me Berserk is the most important manga of all time, I still remember when I've first read it and how much it got me hooked up that I couldn't sleep until I've read it all, so much emotions going through this masterpiece. Like a lot of people said the work of master Miura inspired and influence a lot of other people work, that we see to this day and I've think a lot more will come. Damn, he's death hit me hard, all those years waiting for the happy ending I've got another cruel one instead. To whomever thinking about reading this masterpiece don't waste you're time and just read it you missing to much and don't watch the anime the ink is much better in my opinion. P.S. I recommend a video on yt "Berserk - dark tranquillity"(wonder's at your feet) very old video but brilliantly done
Like a lot of members from this community, I bought and read (and loved) this wonderful piece of art thanks to you. He went way too soon. He will always be remembered and cherished, but damn, too soon man... Beautiful tribute. You mad my eyes sweat. Thank you Melanie & Omar for being there. Thank you to this community. And thank you Master Miura.
Thank you for doing this video Omar. I admit I barely became a Berserk fan only last year! And even then Miura's death still crushed me. But you, have definitely been one of the main influencers for me getting into Berserk, especially after you started reviewing the deluxe editions. Guts immediately became one of my fav characters in all of fiction and I'm sure I'll be a Berserk fan for years to come. So thank you for that as well. RIP the Great Kentaro Miura.
Omar, when I heard the news of Miuras passing, the first person I thought of was you. I know how much Berserk means to you and how it resonates with you. Since I heard the news, I decided to take the plunge and order the first two volumes of the Deluxe Editions to explore the brilliance of Miuras work. Just know I am thinking of you and everyone else that has been impacted by this tremendous loss.
Thank you Omar and Mel! I believe in giving the positive influences in your life their credit when you can. Your team is truly a positive influence for your community and I believe that Kentaro Miura would agree. I can’t wait to read the series!
I've never read Berserk. Although my brother has all of the deluxe editions and pretty much all the normal editions. But this video still hits hard as it really shows how much he means to people and that he really did create such an incredible masterpiece. Rest in piece Kentaro Miura You're a fantastic man Omar and we'll forever be grateful of what you've done. Thank you, I appreciate all the recommendation you've given.
Great video Omar. Such a massive loss for the manga / comics community. A true legend. Selfishly, I hope the deluxe editions continue. Miura’s life’s work deserves top notch presentation for all the future generations that will fall in love with it.
Imagine watching the anime, loving it, seeing the last episode and not beeing able to read past it for a long time....damn A friend of mine recomended me Berserk like 3 years ago, I started the anime but stopped after a couple episodes for some reason. He kept telling me to finish the anime cause I will like it. A while later I finally finished the anime and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, INSTANTLY jumped to the manga and started reading it every single day on my way to work
Beautiful tribute Omar and Melanie, your review of the first deluxe ed made me buy it and all the volumes since. I'm sure I'm speaking for many more than just myself, thanks for making me a lifelong Miura fan. RIP Kentaro
Very sad news, I’ve only read the first Volume so far bought the 2nd one awhile ago and after hearing about his passing away bought the third volume. I hope fans and your views go out and buy these books to show support to his family and friends !
Authentic history, amazing universe, excelent and excepcional characters, and the g.o.a.t behind this, Kentaro Miura, thank you for all you make in Berserk... I'll never forgot, rest in peace for ever now.
Omar you 100% got me into Berserk. I've watched the 97 series at least 4 times now. I'm reading the deluxe editions so I'm waiting patiently for vol.8. Thank you sir, your channel is one of my favorites. Rest in Peace Mr. Miura.
Three years after, but I had to comment. It was a great loss to anyone who knows how to appreciate everything that art can do for people. Beautiful video Omar and Melanie ❤️ RIP Kentaro Miura
I knew i loved Berserk for the last 20 years, always excited for some 15 pages or so of new content in months, maybe years. What i didn't knew was how much, how deep it would hurt when this moment come. Miura took with himself some people that became a part of my being. People that i suffered with, people that i cheered on. People that i looked up to when i lost the ground. Guts' destiny was to endure suffering. But man, the guy deserved a shot. And life took it away, as always. This time, for good. We all share those tears.
hi, melanie and omar, thank you for your honesty and your hard work. you two make a difference and have an positive impact on many lives. keep that up and always remember that both of you are highly appreciated by a lot of people. i for one am proud to be a member of your "nerdy" community.
Fantastic tribute. I have read and seen a bunch of manga and anime over the last almost-30 years, but I haven't experienced this one yet. I ordered Volume 1 of the Deluxe Edition from B&N, and I am looking forward to digging into it.
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura. Thank you for Berserk, a masterpiece and an EPIC that will stand the test of time. Thank you and may your legacy live on. Keep on struggling. I got into Berserk on December 2018, my first year of college, and I wanted to collect the manga, until I can across your Berserk Deluxe Volume 1 overview video on January or February I believe, and I was immediately hooked. I'm glad I waited till Deluxe Volume 1 was released and patiently waited for the release of the others. It was thanks to your video that the Deluxe editions were the best way to collect Berserk.
I watched the anime from the 90s and I read some of the manga, I really liked the story & I really relate to your statement about people who are alone who don't have anyone to lean on that they read manga or comic's As a artist who has autism I feel awkward around people and never had a chance to feel like I belonged, reading comics and manga really helps me find excitement in life & feel inspired in my artwork, and what could be possible I suppose I enjoyed watching your videos more recently and I saw your video on the X-Factor epic collection angel of death and I remembered that it came out recently because I lost track of time because I only had a month to get my stuff and find a house then move and it was pretty stressful but I'm settling in ok but it's definitely a bit of a change
My introduction to the amazing world of berserk was through the Golden Arc movie trilogy as well. I thought I was just going to watch another anime that's based on medieval fantasy. Par for the course kind of stuff. But then the eclipse happens and suddenly everything gets turned upside down. Its so sad to hear of his passing and how young he was. I also feel terrible for the people who looked up to him, those people who saw themselves in his work, and who were inspired by it.
That message at the end was beautiful. I caught up around 5 years ago, but I can't imagine the hurt you must feel being a fan since the 90s. Miura will always be remembered
Man, I haven’t even read it yet I choked up in this video. I know how it feels to have the maker of something you love pass away. For me it was Lee and Ditko for Spider-Man. I can imagine how impactful Kentaro’s death is Take care Omar and Melanie ❤️
Wonderfull video Omar/Melany Rip Miura sensei and thank you for sharing this wonderfull universe with masterclass writing and art. Thank you Omar/Melany for doing a wonderfull tribute for my favorite mangaka of all time.
You guys are really awesome. This community is awesome. Truly heart felt and real. I am going to definitely read through this series. I was a fan for a while but never finished them, I am excited to read through. Thank you Omar and Melanie.
Let me start off by saying I'm new here and this is the first video I've seen from you and saying thanks to my friend who sent me this video. I, really feel I can relate to how you have felt as someone who's life has been greatly changed by Berserk both for better and for worse. I stumbled upon a depiction of Guts when I was 10 years old and immediately I wanted to- no needed to know more about this show and so the first thing I was able to find was the 1997 anime. I watched it and absolutely loved every second of it, for me the best part was that I truely enjoyed the characters and felt like they were my friends as I grew to know about them more, laughed alongside them and I even seem to recall acting like i was fighting alongside them too 🤣. But then after watching it for a few days I reached the end of the golden age arc. I won't go into detail as to what happened since I don't want to spoil anything, but as I watched through tears and a terrible feeling devastation I remember thinking one thing clearly, WHY!? I simply couldn't understand. This devastated me as a child and quite simply it was scarring. I remember not really being happy for a long time after that. I couldn't look at things the same, everything just felt bleak and colorless. Fast forward a few years to 2013 when I was 15, by now i had gotten over it and had actually begun to enjoy reading and watching things again, particularly a game called Dark Souls. After investing a few hundred hours and truely lifing this game I found out about the fact that it was heavily inspired by a manga series, one called Berserk. I didn't have much happiness left for Berserk at this point, but trusting in my love for this game I decided to go back. I managed to find a place to read manga at and promptly began to read through Berserk. I had forgotten how human Berserk was and how brilliant the Golden Age Arc was! but i won't lie I was scared of what I knew was going to happen, I dreaded it. But i continued on reading and even though it was hard I through where the anime stopped and into uncharted territory, it was there I found out that this wasn't so much a story about Guts as it was a story about being flawed and despite that pushing through and living on no matter how hard or hellish it was, no matter the loss and no matter what tries to beat you down these books taught me to embrace my own flaws and despite them it taught me to stand up and live. I'm here writing this at 22 years old. I can't really think of a more influential author in my life. I went from being scarred by Berserk to being taught how to live by it. Thank you Kento Miura for teaching me. R.I.P. Kento Miura.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. I loved that you found the true meaning of Berserk after coming back years later. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video too. Much love to you, brother.
Omar, I got into Berserk only because of NMC. Absolutely feel wrecked about his demise. May his soul rest in peace. I am sure the entire community will cherish his contribution to Berserk and he will be content knowing that he inspired all of his readers.
Beautiful tribute. Like you, I looked to comics for a guidance that the world was not showing me. The best tribute that I can think of to the artists and friends who leave us too soon is to live a life informed by their example. In that way, everything and everyone we have ever loved can never really die.
Sending love to the whole Near Mint family 💕 videos like this show the reason why your community is growing so fast, honest, welcoming, and showing true love and passion for these wonderful creations that bring us all together! That bit were Melanie got upset for Dr Miaura’s loneliness hit me right in the feels, almost like reading a chapter of Berserk, although it’s obviously terrible circumstances it’s nice to see you guys looking after/caring for each other so honestly, glad to know you are in good hands. Anyways, keep the chin up and know your honouring the big man as you have been doing by sharing his art with thousands of people!
@@WolfnWool im enjoying it yeah, the thing is that took me so long is that was too many blood scenes ( wich i love in comics and movies also ) but i thought they wete somehow overpacking it as a some kind of overall filler), damn im so glad i was wrong , because im into the motives behind the vengeance stories, and it has more deep storyline that goes way beyond vengeance, damn it has the origins how vanity can rise to the devil and how hate ( although having good and fair intentions) can make you litrally a demon
Beautiful tribute to Miura. I haven't yet read any of Berserk, but I've been interested in it for awhile. Hoping I can get the Deluxe Editions in 2022, as my collecting habits this year have largely been Claremont X-Men and current X-Men (both of which I'm reading through). I'll plan to delve into Berserk next year. It sounds like a truly impactful series. As heartbreaking as his death is, he left a profound piece of heart behind.
I never would’ve given this story a chance but seeing how much you guys talked about it and praised it, I gave it a shot and you guys did not lie. It’s an epic story with epic characters, I just caught up with the deluxe editions and I can’t wait to continue it. Thanks guys for introducing me to Kentaro Miura!!
Thank you so much for this! I think I like to start with Berserk Deluxe Volume 1. I've only watched the 2016 anime and but I must do this properly this time around. 👍❤
Great video Omar! Nice tribute to great Kentaro Miura. I have never read any manga before you introduced me to Berserk. Now i own all 7 deluxe editions and have read all of them. Cant even describe how much I loved it so far. Definitely in my top 3 best grapgic novels I have ever read. RIP Kentaro.
This is one of the best tributes that I’ve seen to Kentaro Miura, I feel very similarly since I’ve been reading this for 15+ since middle school. May he Rest In Peace.
I was a little late to the scene. For the last 10 years or so I had gone from reading a lot of comics and manga to reading almost exclusively sci-fi novels. After deciding to refresh my collection of some older comics stuff and getting into some newer stuff (new to me at least) I was in my local comic book store talking Conan omnis when the store owner recommened me to your channel. I'm one of those who looked into Berserk based in large part on your reviews. I bought the first deluxe edition about two weeks ago, and actually have the next 3 on their way to me right now after ordering them a week ago. Hearing this news about Kentaro now just as I'm starting to read his work feels very surreal. He died of the same condition as Mike Wieringo who also left far too soon a few years ago now. RIP Kentaro. And thanks Omar, for introducing me to a great artist and series.
"You're going to be alright. You just stumbled over a stone in the road, it means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this, doesnt it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again soon".
I had the same experience with his passing. You never really think the death of a famous person you've never met can hit so hard. My dad had the same experience when David Bowie passed
Berserk is easily one of my most treasured stories. It also sparked my interest into manga and comics, and by this beautiful discovery enriched my life. (Wich is the reason I found this channel also.) Miura's insight into the human condition and what it means to exist and overcome is something rare. Such a great soul, I'm grateful to have found. Rest peacefully Kentaro Miura. And thank you Omar (and your support) for your wonderful channel and your extensive manga/comic knowledge. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, of this amazing hobby (I just recently got into last year).
i wish i didnt let the deluxe volumes sit in my “save for later” on amazon.. i at least snagged the first 2, but theyre already harder to get now!! gotta thank this channel for even letting me know they existed all that time ago!!! and R.I.P. Kentaro Miura..
Thanks for sharing your thoughts & pain and keeping it 100% real. Reading about Miura's death really hit me hard, since I've been reading/playing Dark Fantasy of varying styles (stuff like "Das Schwarze Auge") basically since I was like 11 or 12. Berserk was always the visual culmination of the genre for me. When I pictured those worlds described by other authors like Steven Erikson, R. Scott Bakker, Glen Cook and others, I always pictured Miura's drawings. He pretty much imprinted on me a visual understanding of those worlds I loved & enjoyed ever since boyhood. That is not me selling his amazing story short, but me saying his influence on me went way beyond that. I kinda console myself with that thought, that this forever made him part of myself and I can tell, that he will live on in you guys as well. Considering that I never met him as an actual person in any capacity whatsoever is no small feat at all. Rest in piece Miura-san!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for the kind words. He has influenced so may artists, video games and books. We will carry these stories with us.
I just bought the 7 deluxe editions i had been hearing about beserk for a while never really got into it but when i heard about Kentaro Miura’s passing i had to read out of respect for his great talented art and story. RIP KENTARO ❤️ I look forward to fall in love with your masterpiece. Your Legacy will live on forever.
Im a person who rarely feels deep sadness but I felt your emotions. Your body language, eyes and passion in voice. I felt it. Thank you for sharing your tears and letting me share mine.
Dr. Miura was a Legend. Beserk fans All Around The World have been paying Tribute to him these past couple of days. I Seriously Appreciate His Workers for letting his family have their last moments with him before word was made public. It goes to show even in death, he valued family Over his career. I was so shocked in seeing UA-cam Videos of people from Russia, China, Mexico, and even Australia giving their respects to him. I never knew Beserk attracted So Many Fans. I only thought a few number of people liked it but I was so wrong.
Thank you for such a beautiful video! Omar, you are the person that convinced me to finally read Berserk. I never in a million years thought I would like it and I am so glad I read it. Thank you to you and Melanie for all you do.
I picked up volume 1 again from my book shelf and read it again, I even cried after that :( I am still not fully recovered from the news, I will keep buying the deluxe editions.
I was always an avid comic book reader and never really got into manga. This channel persuaded me to start reading Berserk and I started around 3 weeks ago. I have sat down and have read maybe 2 volumes in one sitting (hard for me cause of my ADHD). I’m so happy that I am reading this series for the first time. RIP Kentaro Miura 🙏🏼
I have heard that Kentaro left behind many notebooks and a lot of conversations with friends and collaborators in the industrie, there is no doubt in my mind that his story will continue as per his wishes. rip kentaro miura.
Awwwww, that hit me hard when she asked,”are you ok?” And Omar responded,”I don’t think so.” You’re a good man sir.
Thank you for watching my brother and for the kind words.
Same.
Yeah. It shows a lot why they are a great married couple
I started reading the Deluxe Edition Berserk about five months ago because of your reviews, Omar. I had literally never read it or seen any of the anime before. I love fantasy and the dark fantasy in Berserk has blown me away. I was shocked at Miura's passing. Terrific tribute here, my friend.
I'm so glad that you are enjoying the stories and thank you.
This was a fantastic tribute. I don't think I would of read Berserk if it wasn't for Dark Souls and the extra time during quarantine. I just haven't read many Manga in general, only really finishing Slam Dunk, GTO, and Samurai X (all fantastic). Slam Dunk was what got me into that whole world, as someone who grew up playing basketball and dealt with the hardships, hooliganry, injuries and friendships, it just really connected, and validated the art form for me. Only after finishing Berserk did I also find out how legendary Inoue is considered, and look forward to getting into Vagabond soon.
When I finally took the time to watch the 97 anime to see the inspiration for Artorias, I was genuinely blown away. Went on to read the manga and Berserk hit so damn hard. I haven't binged a series of books like that in so long. It's been a few months now after finishing it, and it's almost still kinda shocking, in it's graphic style, subject matter, and how fantastically it handles it all. Even without an ending, it's such a satisfying read. From a new fan It was beautiful to hear how it's been a part of your life for 20+ years now.
Thank you for putting Miura's work in other people's hands. I think his work will take on a new life during this time of mourning. I think using your platform to genuinely express how it has impacted you will bring more flames to Miura's bonfire. May he rest in peace while we celebrate his life's work.
Thank you so much. You brought back so many memories with Samurai X an dGTO. :) I hope one day we get a Slam Dunk Hardcover.
My dad died in 2008 and I remember being destroyed and not knowing what to do. A wise man told me as long as you talk about your dad and never forget him then he’s never really gone. So as long as we keep buying his books and reading berserk and talking about it he’s never gone. Legends never die. Kentaro Miura Forever.

Always talk about your dad and he will never be gone. Kentaro will always be with us.

Kentaro Miura loss is a tragedy. Even as someone who didn't read much of Berserk(that will change) I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as an artist. Easily in a league of his own with regards to his art and it baffles me someone could put images of that much detail and clarity in black and white.

In the same boat as you, it's awful to have lost Miura. In 2005 when I was 12 I bought a copy of the first volume, and it stuck with me. Because there weren't a lot of volumes I started watching the 90's anime when starting highschool and I was completely blown away. The song 'Forces' got me through a ton of hardships in high school and it meant a lot to me. Susumu Hirasawa and Kentaro Miura went hand in hand like they were part of the band of the hawk themselves. It made me happy. Kept recommending it to people where I live and they were all in love with it. Thank you to make this video, cheers to you Omar, and most of all to Miura-san. May he rest in peace, Berserk shall never die.
Berserk will never die!

Watching bootleg anime in the 90s is the only way to watch anime back in the 90s! I can totally relate! RIP Miura san!
Yes it was! We used to get nothing here in the states.
Keep struggling Omar never give up buying the berserk deluxe edition after watching your review of the first deluxe edition volume was the best decision of my life i was going through depression at that I had several moments where I thought that I should kill myself but then I read berserk and hooked so much that I bought all the tankabons in 2 months and completed them after reading I was so motivated to live my life to the fullest so a big thanks to you man 🙏
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the stories too.
I haven’t read Berserk yet, but I know how important the series is to not only the manga and anime world, but many, many forms of fiction. Guts inspired Cloud, Ike, Dante, and several more characters. And the art was absolutely mind-bogglingly beautiful.
R.I.P. Kentaro Miura. You will forever be a legend.
He is legend for sure. Thank you for taking the time to watch.

This hits me harder than anyone else’s death. I was fortunate enough to read all of his stuff when it gets released cause I live nearby Dark Horse HQ.

Miura: Was I a good Mangaka?
Skull 💀 Knight: No. You were the best...
damn that hurts.
Berserk will always be my absolute number one Manga of all time.
Thank you Miura Sensei, your work will resonate for the next decades
We will carry his stories with us.
Berserk has been in my life for a little more than 10 years. I found it at a time when I had nothing going for me, and I started watching anime. I happened across the 97 berserk. When I got to the cliffhanger I found myself dying to know what happened. I looked for season 2 or anything and I found the manga online. As I started to read it I became even more enthralled with the complex story and the fantastically beautiful pages. Once I had caught up to where miura was in telling his story I went back and read it three more times in a row waiting for the next chapters to come out.. at the time for me it was an escape from everything that was s***** in my life. I admired guts as a character so much that I stopped blaming everything that's wrong on everyone and everything else for why my life was in the state it was in, and I started to take control of my destiny. I have a good life now, but it will forever be in part thanks to this book, and be less fulfilling knowing that a true master of art and storytelling is now gone, and that this masterpiece will most likely never be completed... It literally hurts my soul.
It hurts us all: we are all in this together. With his passing it felt like saying Goodbye to dear friends.
R.I.P. Kentaro Miura
For me Berserk is the most important manga of all time, I still remember when I've first read it and how much it got me hooked up that I couldn't sleep until I've read it all, so much emotions going through this masterpiece. Like a lot of people said the work of master Miura inspired and influence a lot of other people work, that we see to this day and I've think a lot more will come. Damn, he's death hit me hard, all those years waiting for the happy ending I've got another cruel one instead. To whomever thinking about reading this masterpiece don't waste you're time and just read it you missing to much and don't watch the anime the ink is much better in my opinion.
P.S.
I recommend a video on yt "Berserk - dark tranquillity"(wonder's at your feet) very old video but brilliantly done
I will check out the video for sure. Thank you.
Like a lot of members from this community, I bought and read (and loved) this wonderful piece of art thanks to you.
He went way too soon.
He will always be remembered and cherished, but damn, too soon man...
Beautiful tribute. You mad my eyes sweat.
Thank you Melanie & Omar for being there.
Thank you to this community.
And thank you Master Miura.
Thank you so much and I’m so glad you are enjoying your journey with Berserk. He will always be remembered.
rip miura what an absolute legend
He is a legend for sure.
Thank you for doing this video Omar. I admit I barely became a Berserk fan only last year! And even then Miura's death still crushed me. But you, have definitely been one of the main influencers for me getting into Berserk, especially after you started reviewing the deluxe editions. Guts immediately became one of my fav characters in all of fiction and I'm sure I'll be a Berserk fan for years to come. So thank you for that as well. RIP the Great Kentaro Miura.
Thank you for taking the time to watch.
You’re sincerity makes you both amazing. Thank you Omar for sharing this.
We really appreciate your kind words. It was hard to hold back.
Omar, when I heard the news of Miuras passing, the first person I thought of was you. I know how much Berserk means to you and how it resonates with you. Since I heard the news, I decided to take the plunge and order the first two volumes of the Deluxe Editions to explore the brilliance of Miuras work. Just know I am thinking of you and everyone else that has been impacted by this tremendous loss.
Thank you, my friend. It was rough. Much love back to you and I really hope you enjoy the work.
I have the entire series because of you it became my first manga and I’m forever grateful. May Kentaro Miura live forever through his Genius.
Thank you, brother and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the series.
He is awesome story creator. One of greatest fantasy writers he will mess
One of the greats is right.
@@NearMintCondition if I have to pick Berserk or The songs of ice and fire : game of the thrones. I pick Berserk hands down
Thank you Omar and Mel! I believe in giving the positive influences in your life their credit when you can. Your team is truly a positive influence for your community and I believe that Kentaro Miura would agree. I can’t wait to read the series!
Thank you for the kind words. I really hope you enjoy the series.
My deepest condolence.
Thank you so much Kentaro Miura, for the great work!!!
Thank you.
thats how real, emotional people remember and remind good things in life .. thank you omar and melanie
Thank you so much, for watching. Much love back to you.
rest in power Miura-sensei, you will never be forgotten
Never be forgotten is right.
I've never read Berserk. Although my brother has all of the deluxe editions and pretty much all the normal editions. But this video still hits hard as it really shows how much he means to people and that he really did create such an incredible masterpiece. Rest in piece Kentaro Miura
You're a fantastic man Omar and we'll forever be grateful of what you've done. Thank you, I appreciate all the recommendation you've given.
Thank you so much for those kind words.
It just doesn’t feel real, he’s really gone. #thankyoumiura
You are right, it really doesn't.
Great video Omar. Such a massive loss for the manga / comics community. A true legend.
Selfishly, I hope the deluxe editions continue. Miura’s life’s work deserves top notch presentation for all the future generations that will fall in love with it.
Thank you my friend. They will continue to make those Deluxe Editions.
A big virtual bro hug for you and all my fellow Berserk fans. Thank you for this tribute.
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura.
Thank you, brother.
Thank you for this video. I share your pain. Miura's work was a giant inspiration for me and it breaks my heart that I'll never meet him in this life.
Much love back to you and thank you for watching.
R.I.P Kentaro Miura Thankyou and Thankyou Omar & Melanie God Bless.
Thank you so much, for watching my brother. Much love back to you.
Imagine watching the anime, loving it, seeing the last episode and not beeing able to read past it for a long time....damn
A friend of mine recomended me Berserk like 3 years ago, I started the anime but stopped after a couple episodes for some reason. He kept telling me to finish the anime cause I will like it. A while later I finally finished the anime and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, INSTANTLY jumped to the manga and started reading it every single day on my way to work
I'm glad that you got hooked on the manga.
Beautiful tribute Omar and Melanie, your review of the first deluxe ed made me buy it and all the volumes since. I'm sure I'm speaking for many more than just myself, thanks for making me a lifelong Miura fan. RIP Kentaro
Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed the story, my brother.
Very sad news, I’ve only read the first Volume so far bought the 2nd one awhile ago and after hearing about his passing away bought the third volume. I hope fans and your views go out and buy these books to show support to his family and friends !
I think the books are mostly out of stock right now.
Authentic history, amazing universe, excelent and excepcional characters, and the g.o.a.t behind this, Kentaro Miura, thank you for all you make in Berserk...
I'll never forgot, rest in peace for ever now.
Beautifully put.
Omar you 100% got me into Berserk. I've watched the 97 series at least 4 times now. I'm reading the deluxe editions so I'm waiting patiently for vol.8. Thank you sir, your channel is one of my favorites. Rest in Peace Mr. Miura.
Thank you so much, brother and more importantly glad to hear you say you are enjoying Berserk.
Three years after, but I had to comment. It was a great loss to anyone who knows how to appreciate everything that art can do for people. Beautiful video Omar and Melanie ❤️
RIP Kentaro Miura
Oh boy, that was emotional. I can't imagine how hard it is for you! It was a joy reading Berserk.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Patricia.
Kentaro-San, you have been immortalized in the hearts of those you have touched.
Rest in peace. 🇯🇵 🙇♂️
He will live on through all of us.
Beautiful tribute.
Thank you, Sarah.
Love ya Omar. This hits real deep, we just gotta be thankful for the masterpiece he gave us. Will always live on!
Well said my friend and much love back to you.
I knew i loved Berserk for the last 20 years, always excited for some 15 pages or so of new content in months, maybe years. What i didn't knew was how much, how deep it would hurt when this moment come. Miura took with himself some people that became a part of my being. People that i suffered with, people that i cheered on. People that i looked up to when i lost the ground.
Guts' destiny was to endure suffering. But man, the guy deserved a shot. And life took it away, as always. This time, for good.
We all share those tears.
It really felt like saying goodbye to a friend. I will miss Casca, Griffith, Serpico, Isidiro, Farnese and of course Guts...
hi, melanie and omar, thank you for your honesty and your hard work. you two make a difference and have an positive impact on many lives. keep that up and always remember that both of you are highly appreciated by a lot of people. i for one am proud to be a member of your "nerdy" community.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We are proud to have you here.
Fantastic tribute. I have read and seen a bunch of manga and anime over the last almost-30 years, but I haven't experienced this one yet. I ordered Volume 1 of the Deluxe Edition from B&N, and I am looking forward to digging into it.
I really hope you enjoy the books. Seriously.
Thank you I haven’t bought a comic book but today I got vol 1 and 2 of berserk I can’t wait to read it
Gary, I hope you enjoy it, brother.
Thanks for the video, berserk brought me to you, and im thankful, stay safe!
We are thankful you are here with us too.
Best tribute video ever 🙏 I'm sure Miura sensei up there is proud to have fans like you guys. Salute from Italy
Much love back to you.
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura. Thank you for Berserk, a masterpiece and an EPIC that will stand the test of time. Thank you and may your legacy live on. Keep on struggling.
I got into Berserk on December 2018, my first year of college, and I wanted to collect the manga, until I can across your Berserk Deluxe Volume 1 overview video on January or February I believe, and I was immediately hooked. I'm glad I waited till Deluxe Volume 1 was released and patiently waited for the release of the others. It was thanks to your video that the Deluxe editions were the best way to collect Berserk.
I'm so glad you came across my video. The Deluxe editions are gorgeous.
14 years I was with this series. One of the most uplifting pieces of fantasy ever made. Dictionary definition of sublime.
Absolute truth.
Thank you so much that you are doing a tribute to him. Shows how much he touched you with his work. Can feel your emotion through the video.
I was tearing up near the end.😭
Thank you for watching, my brother.
I watched the anime from the 90s and I read some of the manga, I really liked the story & I really relate to your statement about people who are alone who don't have anyone to lean on that they read manga or comic's
As a artist who has autism I feel awkward around people and never had a chance to feel like I belonged, reading comics and manga really helps me find excitement in life & feel inspired in my artwork, and what could be possible I suppose
I enjoyed watching your videos more recently and I saw your video on the X-Factor epic collection angel of death and I remembered that it came out recently because I lost track of time because I only had a month to get my stuff and find a house then move and it was pretty stressful but I'm settling in ok but it's definitely a bit of a change
I'm glad you are settling okay and you can always share your art with us. Always.
My introduction to the amazing world of berserk was through the Golden Arc movie trilogy as well. I thought I was just going to watch another anime that's based on medieval fantasy. Par for the course kind of stuff. But then the eclipse happens and suddenly everything gets turned upside down. Its so sad to hear of his passing and how young he was. I also feel terrible for the people who looked up to him, those people who saw themselves in his work, and who were inspired by it.
I'm glad that you got into the series because of those movies.
Great video :) , I got to say it is the first time I'm actually emotionaly involve with the departure of an author and the news was crushing !
It really is crushing and nothing wrong with getting emotional over losing someone we have never met.
That message at the end was beautiful. I caught up around 5 years ago, but I can't imagine the hurt you must feel being a fan since the 90s. Miura will always be remembered
Always he will be with us.
Thanks for introducing me and lots of others to such a great story!
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it. :)
Man, I haven’t even read it yet I choked up in this video. I know how it feels to have the maker of something you love pass away. For me it was Lee and Ditko for Spider-Man. I can imagine how impactful Kentaro’s death is
Take care Omar and Melanie ❤️
You take care as well also.
Wonderfull video Omar/Melany
Rip Miura sensei and thank you for sharing this wonderfull universe with masterclass writing and art.
Thank you Omar/Melany for doing a wonderfull tribute for my favorite mangaka of all time.
Thank you, my brother. He was amazing.
You guys are really awesome. This community is awesome. Truly heart felt and real. I am going to definitely read through this series. I was a fan for a while but never finished them, I am excited to read through. Thank you Omar and Melanie.
Thank you my brother and I hope you keep enjoying the book.
Let me start off by saying I'm new here and this is the first video I've seen from you and saying thanks to my friend who sent me this video. I, really feel I can relate to how you have felt as someone who's life has been greatly changed by Berserk both for better and for worse.
I stumbled upon a depiction of Guts when I was 10 years old and immediately I wanted to- no needed to know more about this show and so the first thing I was able to find was the 1997 anime. I watched it and absolutely loved every second of it, for me the best part was that I truely enjoyed the characters and felt like they were my friends as I grew to know about them more, laughed alongside them and I even seem to recall acting like i was fighting alongside them too 🤣.
But then after watching it for a few days I reached the end of the golden age arc. I won't go into detail as to what happened since I don't want to spoil anything, but as I watched through tears and a terrible feeling devastation I remember thinking one thing clearly, WHY!? I simply couldn't understand. This devastated me as a child and quite simply it was scarring. I remember not really being happy for a long time after that. I couldn't look at things the same, everything just felt bleak and colorless.
Fast forward a few years to 2013 when I was 15, by now i had gotten over it and had actually begun to enjoy reading and watching things again, particularly a game called Dark Souls. After investing a few hundred hours and truely lifing this game I found out about the fact that it was heavily inspired by a manga series, one called Berserk. I didn't have much happiness left for Berserk at this point, but trusting in my love for this game I decided to go back. I managed to find a place to read manga at and promptly began to read through Berserk. I had forgotten how human Berserk was and how brilliant the Golden Age Arc was! but i won't lie I was scared of what I knew was going to happen, I dreaded it. But i continued on reading and even though it was hard I through where the anime stopped and into uncharted territory, it was there I found out that this wasn't so much a story about Guts as it was a story about being flawed and despite that pushing through and living on no matter how hard or hellish it was, no matter the loss and no matter what tries to beat you down these books taught me to embrace my own flaws and despite them it taught me to stand up and live.
I'm here writing this at 22 years old. I can't really think of a more influential author in my life. I went from being scarred by Berserk to being taught how to live by it. Thank you Kento Miura for teaching me.
R.I.P. Kento Miura.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. I loved that you found the true meaning of Berserk after coming back years later. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video too. Much love to you, brother.
Never cried over a youtube video before....first time for everything I guess. Much love to Miura and your channel.
Thank you my brother and much love back to you.
Thank you for this
Thank you for watching.
For me, he is the best, and I knew he would be the best ever in my life of reading manga, rip
It really is the best. I'm with you.
Who else is really feeling the Berserk theme music right now
That soundtrack is so perfectly crafted.
Omar, I got into Berserk only because of NMC. Absolutely feel wrecked about his demise. May his soul rest in peace. I am sure the entire community will cherish his contribution to Berserk and he will be content knowing that he inspired all of his readers.
I'm glad you got into the stories. We will all be carrying his story with us.
RIP Kentaro Miuro. Thank you so much for your AMAZING work. God bless 😔🙏🏽
Well said, brother.
Beautiful tribute. Like you, I looked to comics for a guidance that the world was not showing me. The best tribute that I can think of to the artists and friends who leave us too soon is to live a life informed by their example. In that way, everything and everyone we have ever loved can never really die.
Well said, my friend.
Sending love to the whole Near Mint family 💕 videos like this show the reason why your community is growing so fast, honest, welcoming, and showing true love and passion for these wonderful creations that bring us all together!
That bit were Melanie got upset for Dr Miaura’s loneliness hit me right in the feels, almost like reading a chapter of Berserk, although it’s obviously terrible circumstances it’s nice to see you guys looking after/caring for each other so honestly, glad to know you are in good hands.
Anyways, keep the chin up and know your honouring the big man as you have been doing by sharing his art with thousands of people!
Always chin up, my brother. Glad you are part of this community.
Had just finished Vol. 1 when this news hit. Immediately ordered the rest of the volumes. Tragic.
Yeah, i just started berserk about a week ago, and then i heard the sad news
if its your first time through youll enjoy it a lot, ive read everything but just got the deluxe hardcopies too
@@WolfnWool im enjoying it yeah, the thing is that took me so long is that was too many blood scenes ( wich i love in comics and movies also ) but i thought they wete somehow overpacking it as a some kind of overall filler), damn im so glad i was wrong , because im into the motives behind the vengeance stories, and it has more deep storyline that goes way beyond vengeance, damn it has the origins how vanity can rise to the devil and how hate ( although having good and fair intentions) can make you litrally a demon
Same, started about a month ago and loved it so much I grabbed all the deluxe volumes that are currently out.
I hope you are enjoying the stories and he will live on through those reading and sharing his wonderful books.
Beautiful tribute to Miura. I haven't yet read any of Berserk, but I've been interested in it for awhile. Hoping I can get the Deluxe Editions in 2022, as my collecting habits this year have largely been Claremont X-Men and current X-Men (both of which I'm reading through). I'll plan to delve into Berserk next year. It sounds like a truly impactful series. As heartbreaking as his death is, he left a profound piece of heart behind.
Thank you so much, for watching. Much love back to you. You are right, his stories will live on.
I just started reading the series in the last five months or so. I was completely blindsided.
We all were by his passing.
I never would’ve given this story a chance but seeing how much you guys talked about it and praised it, I gave it a shot and you guys did not lie. It’s an epic story with epic characters, I just caught up with the deluxe editions and I can’t wait to continue it. Thanks guys for introducing me to Kentaro Miura!!
I'm so glad you are enjoying the journey. It's my favorite manga.
Been such a long time since a very well know mangaka has passed away that had such an impact gone.
I agree. He was so loved. I remember when Satoshi Kon passed. That one hit me hard too.
Thank you so much for this! I think I like to start with Berserk Deluxe Volume 1. I've only watched the 2016 anime and but I must do this properly this time around. 👍❤
That's a great idea. I hope you enjoy it.
Great video Omar! Nice tribute to great Kentaro Miura. I have never read any manga before you introduced me to Berserk. Now i own all 7 deluxe editions and have read all of them. Cant even describe how much I loved it so far. Definitely in my top 3 best grapgic novels I have ever read. RIP Kentaro.
I'm happy to hear you have been enjoying the story. That makes me happy.
Unedited, respect! R.I.P. Miura, his legacy will live on!
Thank you, my brother.
This is one of the best tributes that I’ve seen to Kentaro Miura, I feel very similarly since I’ve been reading this for 15+ since middle school. May he Rest In Peace.
I lost a piece of myself. RIP.
To me it felt like having to say goodbye to an old friend.
@@NearMintCondition
**hugs**
I was a little late to the scene. For the last 10 years or so I had gone from reading a lot of comics and manga to reading almost exclusively sci-fi novels. After deciding to refresh my collection of some older comics stuff and getting into some newer stuff (new to me at least) I was in my local comic book store talking Conan omnis when the store owner recommened me to your channel.
I'm one of those who looked into Berserk based in large part on your reviews. I bought the first deluxe edition about two weeks ago, and actually have the next 3 on their way to me right now after ordering them a week ago.
Hearing this news about Kentaro now just as I'm starting to read his work feels very surreal. He died of the same condition as Mike Wieringo who also left far too soon a few years ago now.
RIP Kentaro. And thanks Omar, for introducing me to a great artist and series.
Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm glad you are here with us. I hope you enjoy the stories as much as us.
We lost a great manga creator RIP Kentaro Miura condolences to his family🙏
Much love to all his family and his fans.
"You're going to be alright. You just stumbled over a stone in the road, it means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this, doesnt it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again soon".
I had the same experience with his passing. You never really think the death of a famous person you've never met can hit so hard. My dad had the same experience when David Bowie passed
No you never know how someone's passing will affect you. Ziggy Startdust for life!
Thank you for sharing, what a great video to commemorate what a great creator means to people.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Berserk is easily one of my most treasured stories. It also sparked my interest into manga and comics, and by this beautiful discovery enriched my life. (Wich is the reason I found this channel also.)
Miura's insight into the human condition and what it means to exist and overcome is something rare. Such a great soul, I'm grateful to have found. Rest peacefully Kentaro Miura.
And thank you Omar (and your support) for your wonderful channel and your extensive manga/comic knowledge. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, of this amazing hobby (I just recently got into last year).
So much love back to you. I'm glad through Berserk you found us.
i wish i didnt let the deluxe volumes sit in my “save for later” on amazon.. i at least snagged the first 2, but theyre already harder to get now!! gotta thank this channel for even letting me know they existed all that time ago!!! and R.I.P. Kentaro Miura..
They will come back to print. Thank you for being a part of the channel.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts & pain and keeping it 100% real. Reading about Miura's death really hit me hard, since I've been reading/playing Dark Fantasy of varying styles (stuff like "Das Schwarze Auge") basically since I was like 11 or 12. Berserk was always the visual culmination of the genre for me. When I pictured those worlds described by other authors like Steven Erikson, R. Scott Bakker, Glen Cook and others, I always pictured Miura's drawings. He pretty much imprinted on me a visual understanding of those worlds I loved & enjoyed ever since boyhood. That is not me selling his amazing story short, but me saying his influence on me went way beyond that.
I kinda console myself with that thought, that this forever made him part of myself and I can tell, that he will live on in you guys as well. Considering that I never met him as an actual person in any capacity whatsoever is no small feat at all. Rest in piece Miura-san!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for the kind words. He has influenced so may artists, video games and books. We will carry these stories with us.
I just bought the 7 deluxe editions i had been hearing about beserk for a while never really got into it but when i heard about Kentaro Miura’s passing i had to read out of respect for his great talented art and story. RIP KENTARO ❤️ I look forward to fall in love with your masterpiece. Your Legacy will live on forever.
Its on my list. As soon as im done whit the X-men im going after berserk!! Thank god its evergreen.
Nice thank you/tribute video!!!
Thank you, brother.
>Starts the video
>Hears Guts' theme
Fuck.
Very raw and emotional.
Love it.
Much love back to you, buddy.
Im a person who rarely feels deep sadness but I felt your emotions. Your body language, eyes and passion in voice. I felt it. Thank you for sharing your tears and letting me share mine.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really did it hit us hard.
Dr. Miura was a Legend. Beserk fans All Around The World have been paying Tribute to him these past couple of days. I Seriously Appreciate His Workers for letting his family have their last moments with him before word was made public. It goes to show even in death, he valued family Over his career. I was so shocked in seeing UA-cam Videos of people from Russia, China, Mexico, and even Australia giving their respects to him. I never knew Beserk attracted So Many Fans. I only thought a few number of people liked it but I was so wrong.
I was shocked as well. And I love how many of us have come to love this series.
Thank you for such a beautiful video! Omar, you are the person that convinced me to finally read Berserk. I never in a million years thought I would like it and I am so glad I read it. Thank you to you and Melanie for all you do.
Thank you and I’m so glad that you read it.
i started this manga 15 years ago , we lost an amazing man in the manga industry :(
We truly did, my friend.
I picked up volume 1 again from my book shelf and read it again, I even cried after that :( I am still not fully recovered from the news, I will keep buying the deluxe editions.
Nor am I. I want to make videos about Berserk, but it will take me sometime.
@@NearMintCondition I am looking forward to the videos :) stay strong / safe.
This is tragic news. Condolences to all his family, friends and fans.
I can tell how much he meant to both of you. ❤
Thanks for this.
Thank you so much for watching.
So sad. Lots of love from Croatia. RIP Miura
Much love back to you.
Thank you for the beautiful testimony. Berserk (Miura) has this Something that bond in a way every one of us !
Thank you so much for watching.
I was always an avid comic book reader and never really got into manga. This channel persuaded me to start reading Berserk and I started around 3 weeks ago. I have sat down and have read maybe 2 volumes in one sitting (hard for me cause of my ADHD). I’m so happy that I am reading this series for the first time.
RIP Kentaro Miura 🙏🏼
I'm so happy you are enjoying the series. Seriously. Thank you.
I have heard that Kentaro left behind many notebooks and a lot of conversations with friends and collaborators in the industrie, there is no doubt in my mind that his story will continue as per his wishes.
rip kentaro miura.
He did, but in my head I'm okay with the story never ending. The battle will always continue.
