I'm here for BERSERK, one of the best stories ever told and one of my favorite stories ever. Thank you for giving it some love and thank Miura Kentaro for everything.
We 4ver stan Miura. What a KING 👑
Couldn’t agree with you more on Berserk.
1000% i love berserk so much
Here for cbg19. Also here for berzerk. Mostly here for brawk tho not gonna lie.
😂😂😂
Berserk is a modern day masterpiece and will go down as one of the greatest pieces of graphic storytelling of all time. RIP Miura, you absolute legend.
Couldn’t agree more with you here.
It's a cult classic master piece, it's been around for almost 30 years BUT I get what you mean. I worry about modern fans trying to change it.
@@LGBTGROOMSOURCHILDREN I mean modern in terms of human history. 30 years is still pretty new in general.
Berserk is litterrally my favorite work of fiction.
F for Miura. A true, hardworking, inspirational artist. I got into the series after those Dark Horse editions came out, and I'm happy Berserk came into my life when it did, "no matter what you choose, truth is, both regret and reluctance are going to follow you around." Shout out to the strugglers; thanks Miura for illustrating the beauty in the struggle!

You asked for it, you GOT IT! Come for the House of the Dragon, stay for BERSERK
🐲🖤👹
UPDATES/EDITS:
1. BERSERK is NOT avail on Netflix for most (this was filmed prior to Dec 1st)
2. I’m wrong about the Berserk movies, they have some wonky scenes here and there but the animation isnt THAT BAD and it’s WAYYYY better than the 2016…which is ACTUALLY BAD. (I hadn’t watched a the 2016 stuff prior to filming, watched it afterward and while I appreciate that they stay pretty true to the comic and it covers new ground…big yikes on the animation)
Glad you're still at it CBG
been following u for years, still hot af
Dope video Danika!
I felt the same way about "House of the Dragon." 🐲 I was very surprised when this show was good. I completely agree with you about King Viserys. He was such a sad and tragic character. To struggles so hard to keep the peace and all along, he's settings and the necessary blocks for his family and kingdom to crumble.
I look forwardb seeing what magical goodies you have in store for us in 2023! 🤘😄🖤🪄
P.S. I haven't had the pleasure of reading or watching Berserk. But I do now! 😏🤣🤣🤣 (So here for the Bromance goodness!)
Still killing the game!!❤🔥🔥🤘
@@c.t.651Agreed 🤝
Those deluxe volumes of Berserk in the back gave me tears of joy :3
They look so sexy on my shelf! ❤
I have tought of bying them but there is so many that I know I cannot stop myself when I start 😅 I have the first Hellsing deluxe, there is only 3 so it's much more compact to get them. I have over 500 dvd's, comic books and books and blabla and it takes space and goddamn it is a soab when moving.
Isn't that about $700?
Wow, never realized just how qualified Miura's friend is to finish his work. I feel a lot better now that I know Berserk is in good hands so thanks for the info Danika!
I know, right? 😮💨
I love the echo chamber of love I put myself in whenever somebody has something good to say about Berserk.
YOOOOOO I never thought Danika would cover berserk of all things. It's genuinely my favorite work of all time. The continued content that Studio Gaga has put out is also pretty solid despite miura's untimely passing. I definitely feel his loss but it's pretty good considering.
Danika the Beyoncé of comic book UA-camrs. Always comes with my favorite videos
Lol. She should totally do a music album review
@@hollywoodnation6692 I’d love to see danikas year end album/music rankings
@@acewingate6993 ikr
I am glad you finally found Berserk, Danika.
I'm so glad to see you got around to Berserk. It really might be the greatest unfinished piece of medieval fiction there is.
Love how the trigger warning came after all the traumatic stuff!
😉
No she didn't tease us with HOTD review and then peg us with a deep dive on Berserk lore! Danika is becoming a bigger troll than Brawk. Also when did Brawk get a twig and berries?! 😂
to the people new to Berserk I strongly STRONGLY recommend the manga over the anime options. The 90s anime is good (iconic music imo) but it only covers maybe 1/5th of the story, and Kentaro Miura was well known to be a perfectionist with his art so you will be missing out on some of the most beautiful comic/manga panels you've ever seen. Maybe use the 90s anime to get you into it then read it after you're hooked!
Berserk is just my all time favourite Dark fantasy.
I love The Witcher, George RR Martins works on Westeros BUT, nothing has terrified and made me so fascinated then Berserk has..
The world is so deep and so unknown. Combinations of Lovecraft, Schopenhauer or Nietzsche.
Very deep and terrifying realities and with that, it all bends down to Trauma and not just from the horrible abominations but with real horrifying concepts that happen to humans and about pushing through and becoming much more and seeing these characters and Guts, change through out. So well done.
I just wanna thank Kentaro Miura for his work and sharing it with us, I’m still reading Berserk and haven’t finished all of it but I’m appreciating Miura more and more. What a Chad. 💪
Its a masterpiece.
Don’t get me wrong I do like House of the Dragon as I’ve always been a fan of the stories in Westeros and it is the best TV show out there right compared to the other crap in my opinion.
Just found your channel anyway. Good to your deluxe collections. 👹💪
Got into Berserk back in the 90's when the original anime came out. Then started reading the manga through scanlations. Now that the manga is being released in Deluxe format I've been buying them all as the come out. Still volumes 12 and 13 to go and it looks like we may be getting a volume 14 now that the series has been taken over by the late Miura's friend, who is the only person Miura told how the series was going to end.
Yep...I didn't get to watch berserk until 1999. Love it. Never looked back. I have 3 versions of it.
Thank you so much for talking about this. “Berserk” is my all-time favorite manga and it deserves all the attention it gets.
Since you are into “Berserk”, I also recommend you check other manga inspired by it. Most notably “Vagabond”, “Claymore”, and “Vinland Saga”.
This is the perfect holiday gift, quality content on 💯.. Thank you Queen DanikaXIX
✨🎁✨
You could do a whole series of multiple, hour-long videos, reviewing Berserk. And you'd gain a shit ton of new subscribers out of it too! Everyone Berserk fan out there loves watching Berserk related reviews and analyses.
This is true. Theres so much to talk about
I’d watch the shit out of that! I’d love to hear Danika’s in depth thoughts and feelings on the berserk story as a whole.
true
You really nailed the criticism on house of the dragons. And you look incredibly beautiful. Glad to see you love Berserk.
love berserk, genuinely one of the greatest pieces of fiction of all time, it misleads you, thinking it's superficial, then it takes you aback at how deep and well written the work is
You got me excited at Berserk. On one hand I wish more people were into it, but then again I've witnessed enough of my favourite things get butchered on the screen in the past half a decade or so to be careful for what I wish for.
This and ASOIAF are such big sources of catharsis for me, they're therapeutic in a way.
The golden arc is fucking wild. Easily my favorite anime work next to Akira.
It’s a real masterpiece of story telling
I have been waiting years for you to talk about berserk 😭
I loved this video ! I was only looking at maybe getting the first deluxe volume today but I think I am now swayed 💖 that’s really cool how the authors friend is taking it over and wanting to be so faithful
Your editing and production skills just keep getting better every video. Of course your scripts are still stellar and you continue to deliver some kooky bits every video. Always enjoy your work👍🙌
I appreciate the kind words! We’ve come a long way 🤓
@@comicbookgirl19 😘
You were the 1st person who got me into GOT lore.... Happy to see you do some HOTD
Danika! You always pick great topics! The Dune series and now Berserk! Your taste in literature is badass! Feel free to keep knocking them out of the park.
🙌🙌🙌
It would be so cool if you one day decided to take on doing your own version of an in depth analysis video on Beserk! Thanks for finally covering my f
all time favorite story!!
Finally, someone is discussing both of these properties in the same room. They are similar and both great.
Dude… this brings me back to your old videos where you just talked about what you loved. 😭
FINALLY someone talks about Criston Cole's lack of aging! As much as I love the actor in this role, it makes no sense to age up Rhaenyra and Alicent, and then later on their children, and he still looks the same! I just think of it as he must have REALLY good genes in order to try to make it make sense.
All they did was trim his hair a little in the back 😂
its sad that liking and subscribing is the most i can do to support this
YES
U can share it with ur homies too 😘
@@comicbookgirl19 c4n do
Waited for a long time for YOU to cover a glimpse of Berserk, always wait for YOUR videos on here, glad to have the chance to thank you. I really appreciated all of your work over the years, again: thank you Danika
Thank you for doing this on Berserk 👍Rest in peace Muira Your work will live on and We will support Koji and Gaga studio 👍
Berserk and its influences (Dark Souls n AoT) have literally saved my life. You might call their stories depressing but that darkness and fighting through it is what inspired me to keep living and now I love life! I truly believe I wouldnt be here today without Berserk. I never cry or feel bad about celebrity deaths, but I cried when Miura died.
Nice glad you checking out Berserk. You will love it. Dark fantasy at its finest. If you want to read a crazy dark story with sorcerers and magic, amazing art and a really detailed gritty world, check out Dorohedoro. It is my second favorite Seinen manga after Berserk and I highly recommend it.
I'm not one to compliment on UA-camrs' appearances, but my God, you look glorious in that outfit! Chef's kiss!
I improvised the Targaryen shoulder look with some shoulder pads 😁
Danika: “This is an amazing story.”
Us: “I trust you.”
For being a troll, Brawk is actually a pretty decent Co-host.
Just got to chapter 344 on my first read through and it's honestly one of the greatest things I've ever read.
Great video! I love Brawk saying what we’re all thinking as an audience. Especially the HOTD family lineage videos.
Love your videos, always great takes and worth the wait!
😘
There is life before Berserk and then there's the awakening that comes with reading Berserk. I cannot express enough how much I love Berserk.
Beserk still helps inspire my own worldbuilding so this video is really cool in giving a story that has been around a long time, and is still going, more love
Mermorial edition remaster is actually decent now and covers a lot more of Guts' trauma so I would say it's just as good as 97 anime!
I found my way to Berserk through the Dark Souls games. The artwork is does it for me so, so much, it's so fucking good! So happy to see Danika into it and collecting those sweet as collected volumes!!
danika talking about grrm's work heals my soul ngl
What a treat of a video! I think the best thing that the modern anime did for Berserk was to give Susumu Hirasawa a reason to compose more music, seriously worth a listen while reading the manga! Signs, Blood and Guts, Forces, etc. Amazing stuff!
True, the music is legit
Haven’t seen your content in a brick! Cool to see you cover the masterpiece Berserk!
"Leanor and Rhaenerya should have tried harder," omg, I agree. Patty is fantastic!
My voice actors are actually adapting Berserk lost children into a motion comic series. The first two parts are already out.
Berserk is great. The best dark fantasy.
Evil Sorceress is a good look for you.
Berserk is one of the most compelling, unsettling, and thought provoking stories I've ever read. Which is remarkable because it stars a muscle freak named literally guts who's big thing is swinging around a massive sword.
We stan stories exploring fate and causality ❤
Great to see ya back, love the hair!
Can we get a round of applause for Queen Danika? Crusher of the no fun mommies. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
YES! Welcome Back! I wasn't expecting this double header review!
Dude I feel like brawk gets me
I can’t watch this full video until I’m off work but I can’t wait to watch! I have a little less hectic schedule in January and I wanna try to rejoin the livestreams on twitch! Always much love Danika💝
Brawk cracks me up 😆
A troll’s troll.
So, this means we're not getting the long awaited Cyclops video? 😅🤣
Thanks for the unexpected present.
Happy holidays and greetings from Mexico.
Berserk is an experience, certainly not for everyone but it's so amazing 👌🏽
Ahhh always love to see you upload
Berserk = best fantasy story of all time.
Wait, What! A cyclops video? Could you get that out in time for Kevin to do him justice this time?
The video I didn’t know I needed🔥
Lol same here.
the medieval political intrigue when they band of the hawk got to wyndham was was sophisticated for anything let alone a japanese manga, and the attention to detail with all the customs and pagentry, i remember thinking who the heck is this miura guy that he can seemingly do everything?
RIP Kentaro Miura 😞
Agreed on HotD's intro being dumb. First I hate that they are just reusing the music from GoT. I don't understand why they couldn't have Ramin Djawadi remix the theme into something more fitting. He has remixed the main theme several times, and has even done it with the Targaryen theme.
Also it's incredibly bland, just gray stone and goofy CGI blood. GoT's intro was iconic cuz it actually showed all the locations in the show in relation with one another. The rings around the sun showing the history of House Targaryen, the change of settings on the gameboard to match what locations would be in the episode. It was incredibly dynamic and interesting.
In HotD you can barely notice when something changes, or another line of blood is introduced. It actually gave me a bad impression of the show when I first saw it, cuz it just felt so lazy and cheap. I figured they were just phoning in the show based on the intro.
Edit: And a better idea for an intro for HotD would have been to show a representation of Aegon's Conquest. Have the gameboard (if it needs to be that) start in Dragonstone, then spread to the Stormlands/Riverlands/Vale, then have it spread to the Westerlands/Reach, finally have it take the North before stalling at Dorne's border.
Awesome to see you covering Berserk. Hoping your 2023 announcement involves more coverage of this epic story? If not, still looking forward to hear it.
I totally agree with you saying - "If you need youtubers to explain, that means your concept isn't effective" - is well said.
Brawk is just exposing himself all over the place
Had no idea how I was missing this type of videos. Phenomenal as always, Danika!
OMG BERSERK is one of the most epic Manga out there been a fan for literally years since the first anime back in the 00s
The game of thrones stories are a masterpiece. But Berserk is beyond just a masterpiece. It's the only fantasy story which I would claim might be better than Lord of the Rings
rip Miura i cried when i found out it was so sad but i read about his best friend continuing it for him and i was excited again
I cried too, still makes me sad to know he has gone.
Wow. I love you Comic Girl 19. Really missed you.
But….I totally disagree with your take on HotD. I absolutely love the show.
You complained about laziness. What’s truly lazy is holding this show accountable for the mistakes made at the end of GoT.
But to each their own 🤷🏽♂️
You’re just the best Danika. Your fan base love you. Love your videos so much. Thank you
I'm in love with you mentioning Berzerk, i am a huge dark souls fan and I know Berzerk was the inspiration. I've been meaning to put time to Berzerk for years and you've reminded me what I'm missing. Thanks baby xxxxx
Welcome aboard!
"and I'm keeping my expectations very low". It smells like the kind of wisdom you need, but not the kind of wisdom you think you want. Just in case I have to make an improvised holiday gift card company some day.
You need to go deeper into _Berserk,_ I’d love to hear your thoughts on Guts and Casca’d relationship.
Berserk's anime soundtrack (circa 1997)...chef's kiss
after god knows how many years cbg19 baited me back to her awesomeness with berserk!!i just have to power thru hotd thingy,berserk is the best dark fantasy story i ve ever read and literally changed/influenced the lives of countless readers!if anyone wants to know what berserk is like go read "spring blossoms of another day" (chpt 329 to 3331 i think) imo it represents what berserk is about in just 3 chapters
edit ppl should also check mori-senseis "holyland" whitch is a great commin of age story and "suicide island" which is also a dope series that goes into some crazy shit
2019 was my saddest year in my life i lost close family to covid lost 3 friends to the same sickness and i lost one of my heroes who changed my life for ever for the better.
I'm so happy that people internationally are getting to see how great of a story teller this guys was as well as being a magnificent Manga artist,It's such a shame we had too lose this man at such a young age(manga artists are under such high levels of stress because of crazy deadlines)
I really hope that there will be a bigger addaptation like Game of Thrones of Berserk because this is up there with Witcher ,Lord of the Rings and Game of thrones (song of fire and ice)
Berserk is incredible! You should read vinland saga as well!!! Another great mature manga!!!!
I don't mind HotD opening visuals. I needed no UA-cam visuals to get that we were following the bloodline to different houses..they should use a more 3D crest that functions as a gear in the labyrinth..the music is totally lazy bullshit though. I'm with ya their Ms CBG19.
Love your channel! Glad to see you're still strong and thriving! 😁
The Golden age arc Movies 'Memorial edition'
actually can compete with the older anime adaption now due to them adding extra new scenes (especially The wounds chapter the finally got adapted in anime form)
they also fixed a few scenes to make it less cgi heavy
A fun watch still!
The small peepee energy on Brock, lol.
Great video! I hope you do more berserk!
Thank you for your quality of your videos.im always excited when you upload.
Thanks for the sanity check on HotD I have the same criticisms and thought maybe I was being to harsh on it.
I loved the Berzerk anime back in the day but damn the art in the Manga is gorgeous, I'm going to have to start reading.
Have you been reading the recent X-Men run? I'm curious to know your thoughts.
I’m so glad we finally got here! 😭
"Criston Cole doesn't age a day" Well you know salt is a very good preservative. 😆 I love the outfit, by the way.
Berserk is so good, by far my favourite story. And thank god Miura had a best friend (Mori) that he told how the story ended. And Studio Gaga are doing a good job so far doing the art.
Everyone interested in fantasy should be reading Berserk, it’s astounding.
I had been watching your content YEARS ago and so happy you're still at it. Resubscribed!
I like who you reviewed both Hotd and Berserk considering that both the Targaryens and Guts are inspired by Elric of melnibone (one of the most complex and tragic characters ever created. You should check both the books and the comics, especially the ones publiced from Titans comics. I assure you, they are amazing!)
Absolutely love berserk. It’s the greatest but if fiction I’ve ever read. The most brutal thing I’ve ever seen
Thanks for the tip on Berserk, Girl. I'd never heard of it before I watched this video; after reading it, I'm surprised that it isn't more popular.
