Miura's passing was really one of the most depressing news I've heard in a longest time. His work paved the way for many other stories, games and works of media.
Do guys think I should get/buy & added to my my collection & my waifu collection the manga or anime version of berserk or both versions manga & anime of berserk? & do you guys think I should get/buy & added to my collection & my waifu collection a Japanese PlayStation 2 even though I already have a NA version of PlayStation 2 in my collection & my waifu collection :)?
RIP to Kentaro Miura. That last chapter was amazing. If Miura's team ever decide to continue Berserk, then I will support them a 100%. Miura's team are doing the manga Duranki and the art style and story telling is incredible definitely Miura style. He really taught them well. (Berserk is back!)
@@awoogashooga The team mentioned they will not close or cancel the possibility of a future with Berserk. But never guaranteed or clarify if they will be the ones doing it. Basically they just want to leave the door open. if you read the final message in the last page of the last chapter
Miura-sensei is the definition of the modern day - Renaissance man. Not only was he a brilliant artist but a gifted storyteller and philosopher. I can't tell you how sad I still am over his passing. Cry even more now when reading passages of Berserk. Berserk has been with me, like so many, for so much of my life and has helped me through so many tough times, again, like so many. Simply saying that Miura-sensei will be missed is a grave understatement. Rest in peace Miura Kentaro.
I started reading Berserk when Miura's death was announced, it was on my list and I was planning to read it eventually but after his death I just wanted to understand what made so many people love this series. I'm still reading it, I'm taking my time, it's a story that I really don't want to rush through I feel like it deserves more than that. However, 200+ chapters in I can easily say that it has also become one of my favorite mangas, I understand now why so many people love it and why it means a lot so some people
I started it like 4 days before his death was announced. I had been a fan of the 97 anime for over a year and finally found a good time to start the manga and my man passes. That hurt, ngl.
@@sprawlz6466 I was reading it for years and modelled my own art after him. However when he died on my birth day I was kinda upset cos I was buying the manga collection and wasn’t able to find any. R.I.P
I did the same. I read it after knowing it would never be finished. I read it over the course of about a month and I don't know why I didn't read it sooner. It's a true masterpiece.
Love how Joey even changed the way he talks in this channel from the way he does as the anime man. I would love to see this channel even surpass the main channel
I caught up to Berserk 2 weeks ago, I also read the entire thing in about 2 weeks after seeing a Masked man youtube video. And woww I have no words man, the art, themes and story telling was so damn amazing. I was also reading half the time while I played Gut's theme in the background and it made the experience even more amazing. Needless to say, Berserk has become the only manga to make me cry over a damn flower spirit that appeared for like a chapter loll. Thank you Miura, you will be missed!!
Its unadaptable man, they can’t match his level of detail, no way, it’d be too expensive to make.. but imo I think it’s worth it, it’s the greatest manga and possibly the greatest work of art ever. At least that’s what I think.
I don't normally cry when hearing of the death of a celebrity, musician, anyone of that nature. But I couldn't help but tear up when I heard of Miura-sensei's death. Regardless of whether the manga will continue or not, Berserk was a gift to us all and I am so grateful to have witness the beauty and the genius of Miura-sensei.
Same man. I saw the news on my phone, thought it was a troll post, then saw a lot of people on my Twitter and Instagram paying tribute. I eventually ended up playing the Berserk 97 anime intro “Tell me why” (which was one of my favorite songs as a child) while I took a shower. Might sound a bit excessive, but I curled up in the shower and bawled my eyes out for an hour. I’ve never felt so sad over a popular icon’s death but Kentaro’s series motivated me more than anything else while I was growing up, the series that literally shaped me and how I looked at the world during hard times.. to hear that he died so young and such a painful death… man that shit hurt to hear. The only thing I could think of is how grateful I was to live during a time when Miura was alive and creating the series. There’s just something about him that made him feel like that type of uncle that lives on the other side of the world but still would check in with you to see how your life was, and to inspire you in the darkest times. I think a lot of us can say this but Berserk and Kentaro Miura seriously changed my outlook on life.
I started reading Berserk just before Miura's passing. I was getting to the eclipse part of the story when I heard the news and even though I hadn't and still haven't caught up where we are now. It still broke my heart. I'm a big, big fan of Fromsoft games, so Demon's Soul, Dark Soul, Bloodborne, Sekiro and upcoming Elden Ring. They have such a massive influence over Miura's work. I mean, those games would not be what they are if it wouldn't be for Miura. I've gained more respect for his work now that I'm actually reading what he has created. I didn't realise before his passing how much he has impacted the media and the world in general. I wish I would've understood it then, but I'm glad I'm more knowledgeable now. I'm still reading it, I'm on Volume 18 right now and it's just simply breath-taking. The earlier volumes I read very fast, because how immersed I was and how I've never experienced such a story and characters, but now I'm reading it in such snail pace. I'm somewhat scared/afraid to reach the end. Especially knowing that it's most likely not going to be finished. I'm obviously going to read it, because it's worth every second, but yeah. I'm just taking it extremely slow now. I'm very much savouring this experience, because I'm only going to get to read this for the first time once. I'm appreciating every panel. I'm excited to reach the end, but nervous as well, which fits perfectly with the story I guess. Thank you, Miura Kentaro.
I literally spent this very day listening to Guts's theme while reflecting on everything Gut's story meant to me, watching the "bonfire of dreams" scene over and over, and being sad over Miura's passing. Spot on, Joey.
@@Odinsday man I often wonder these days how Hidetaka Miyazaki is feeling. He was, without a doubt, one of the biggest Berserk fans out there. If Miyazaki does any kind of reference to Miura’s passing in Elden Ring I’ll be crying for the rest of the day.
Im glad that Joey experienced this,I really wanted go there myself but it's really unfortunate.Miura's works was one which got me hooked in drawing in general,the details, the characters, different and unique breath taking visuals it's just soo amazing .
Miura is one of those few Mangaka that transcend being an illustrator or “comic artist” and cross over into fine art in terms of absolute mastery and creative energy. The man was truly dedicated to both the art and the story rather than just using the art as a means to efficiently tell the story like many others. I think the time between even the early issues speak to that.
I haven’t read Berserk but just the thought of such an amazing artist has passed still makes me feel sad. After hearing about him so much, I think it’s definitely worth to read it now
@@VividVoid I sort of wish that I didn't read it so fast. I read it in about a week last week. I finished it at a retreat and wanted to get to the end so bad. I didn't realize how much it would absolutely destroy me not having anymore of his work to read. He really was unmatched, most likely one of the greatest stories of all time and it wasn't even finished. It makes me so sad, but I'll continue to love his work. Honestly I've already thought about rereading it and I only finished it 2 days ago.
I'd say that my favorite panel is Rickert slapping Griffith, it's simply just the bridge, the two characters, the flying petals, and the slap....that's it. It's such a perfect scene that focuses on that moment so much
The news of Miura's death came out on my birthday the 19th of May... Then a month later, my father passed away... If I may be frank with everyone, FUCK 2021.
Dude, after reading the last chapter, I was left with this emptiness inside me and felt sad, but now I am celebrating this amazing series and how much it influenced other works
I'm so sad I will never be able to see this full exhibit.. I absolutely LOVE this manga and I sobber when I found out he died. I bet it was breathtaking and I absolutely would have cried being there. Thank you so much for sharing as much as you could! Also 1000% worth all the yen! As I would say, "shut up and take my money!" Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Sounds like A memory I'm sure you'll cherish mate. Still remember when I got the news. Terrible. Rest in peace. One of the most talented all rounders, he NAILED the story, fuckin nailed the art....Kentaro had it all man. Y'all stay safe and healthy.
Dude it’s so awesome that you like berserk, I’ve been reading it since I was in middle school now I’m a college senior. RIP Master Kentaro Berserk will be the story that always lives on to me.
I grew up on Miura's work. I was in my teens, when I first discovered Berserk during the 2000s. His passing hit me hard, it felt like a really close friend, who you grew up with, shared stories with, had just passed away. ☹
What I loved about Berzerk is that going into the story felt like learning from an old Grimoire in the 1800’s or some obscure era where everything was nuanced and arcane. The morals and raw depth of the story showed aspects of the mind that you just simply don’t see anywhere in media this days. It felt like the man was literally showing aspects of the mind that where always there but few dared to look. I really would love to hear if he ever gave a conclusion to the story.
I read Berserk after the Death of Miura, and never knew the absolute brilliance of this man. creating such a hatred for one Griffith, and the feeling the intense grief and longing of guts. the latest chapters of berserk have pulled emotions from me that i never thought I would have. Seeing how much of an impact Miura has made in all the peopled who have read it is such a testament to the hard work he put in. and seeing the people who made such amazing fan films after He passed makes me hopeful that we might get an amazing version of Berserk animated. the only way that I can end of this is saying Rest In Peace Miura, I wish you could see all of the people you have affected, you have been and always will be a legend is manga history.
Kentaro Miura's death was a huge hit to the heart that left manga fans in the dark. He was one of (if not) the best mangaka that told a rich and compelling story with beautiful and god-like art. Even though a few months have passed, it still Hard to swallow knowing that we will never continue to see Miura's beautiful art, incredible story, and his vision of how Berserk would end.
I wish I could have attended to this exhibit. Berserk means so much to me, I'm still so devastated by Miura sensei passing away. So thank you for sharing this with us. It means a lot. 🌼
I really hope the company managing Miura Sensei's legacy will bring this gallery to other fans around the world. So much of the detail isn't able to be seen on the volume releases, and being able to view the original pieces is something for my bucket list.
i feel so fucking bad that this exhibit not only i won't be able to see it in a video like yours but i won't ever be able to see it EVER. like god damn i missed something so big yet i couldn't even have known it happened
There was this meme a while back that anytime an update for one of Miura's favorite games came out people would say "Miura died again", and that Berserk would go on another hiatus. My best friend sent me the letter announcing Miura's death and I thought it was just a really good shitpost for a full day. Then I started seeing it from more mainstream sources and I couldn't believed I laughed at Miura's actual death. Even though it was obviously an accident, I felt like shit.
I had made a PowerPoint shit post about Miura playing idol master or being dead and two weeks later when it was announced he had died it kinda clicked I might've made that joke on the actual day of his death
@@malum1424 I think you're in the clear on that, I think I recall that they waited a month to go public to give friends and family a time to grieve in privacy.
Miuras passing had me really depressed to tell my mom because berserk was one of the mangas that we really connected on and that we would wait months just to get chapters on to read we miss him dearly.
I started Beserk a month ago and whenever I read any chapter it just deeply pains me whenever I read more and continue the story. Before I was never interested in reading Mangas but Beserk was the one who immersed me in reading it. The drawing, the storyline, The Hell and the way how guts character develops shows the genius of Kentaro miura sensei. I started Beserk after his passing away but tbh if I read it before I would have burst crying after hearing the news. I'm on ch 251 and I really love it so far. Edit - Just finished. Rip Kentaro Miura
Man, I'd kill to go see half of what you described and I'd be content, but to actually get to see the original pages, dude, I can't even begin to imagine how amazing that was. Also, that art book, I seriously hope that's available else where because I need that book. R.I.P Miura, his art changed how I view and go about my own art and I'm forever thankful I found his work.
Berserk will forever live on. Just like Guts defying the Invocation of Doom, Berserk will go on even after getting the Brand of Sacrifice (Miura's death).
I picked up the first few copies of Berserk manga physically recently and have started reading it. I've always loved the art just from what I've seen. I watched the original Berserk anime growing up, but I didn't know until I became an adult how much better the manga was hearing it from others and how the artwork looks and that an anime can't capture it that well.
I’m sad I didn’t know about this but its okay I rather swell up and not give up on life. Now I’m going to sulk to the ending theme to Berserk 1997. Kentaro Miura I will miss you.
In this scenario, I don’t think Joey was crazy for spending all that money. That’s to be commended. I would do the same thing if a creator of one of my all time favorite series passes away… AND for there to have an exhibit! Connor was the madlad for spending lots of dough on Jojo merch. 😂
Imagine WALLS of Miura's LITERAL pages in front of you.. I'm happy someone who adores Berserk as much as me got to experience this. I'm just low key crying watching this, hearing about it.
I've been scared to start Berserk for years because I knew I'd fall head over heels for it and with all the breaks between releases I didn't know if I could emotionally invest myself into it when I know I'd run the high risk of getting my heart broken, but after his passing I've decided to start the series and have bought all the collectors editions out and preordered the rest
Feels like theres a hole in my life ngl. I’m quite young and berserk is probably what have taught me the most about emotions, or I guess you could say made me discover it. It sounds cliche but I just feel weird man
I started reading Berserk on February 27, 2020 cuz my guy classmate recommended it to me. I was just gonna try it out but I actually ended up being invested in it because every panel was just full of details. Like, even background characters had actual distinct faces. It's just really cool. I mostly read 801 so me reading Berserk is a lil' bit weird to me. yea I dunno how to end this comment.
I'm sad I cannot go see the exhibit, but I'm sadder still about his passing entirely. Berserk is what got me through some of the darkest time of my life and helped me make it through college, especially my last couple years as a senior. Hell, my thesis and some of my larger final projects were heavily inspired by Berserk (and JJBA). I snatch up any of the official merch I can and am so glad I've been able to re-read Berserk through official means, especially through the Deluxe hardback books (The 9th volume releases this November, if anyone is/was curious, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon). If the assistants and/or his family ever decide to continue the series and/or sell more official merch, i will gladly support them--both to support them and honor the work Miura spent so much of his life lovingly creating for us. Thank you, for everything, Miura, and I hope your next life / afterlife is a pleasant one and you can experience wonderous things throughout it.
I've been a fan of Miura's berserk since 1999, and i remember eagerly waiting months on end for the next chapter of what could be the greatest story I've ever read.., i guess the turbulence in my head won't let me express how i truly feel, it's so sad to know that we might never know how this epic story ends.
I've just started reading it online and I like it so far. I've watched the golden age movies online prior to reading and I am currently a couple chapters into the golden age arc in the manga. I want to see what everyone holds dear to their heart. RIP to Miura sensei
I just finished berserk, and I just want to say that it is by far the best piece of fiction I have ever experienced. Story and artwork both blew me away, and when I got to the last chapter, I felt so empty. What’s worse was the letter to the fans from the producers that solidified the harsh and sad reality that is a world without miura sensei. I cried. Like a baby. What an experience, I loved every second of it.
Bro this made me feel. Berserk was one of the best manga ever. To bad i am an overseas fan or i would have gone. The merch was worth every yen twice lol.
I discovered Berserk a year after his passing. I started reading the manga because of this video and now I just finished it. That was hands down the best story, characters and experience I have ever gotten from any type of media. Thanks Joey for showing what the last Berserk exhibit was all about and you explaining what we could not see for ourselves. "You bear witness to the end of your journey. ... It is not always a happy thing." - Skull Knight
There was an event yesterday. I saw it on someone’s snap chat channel.! I hope it continues so I can visit Japan one day and go to it.! I love this anime and I played the Dreamcast game my whole life! I still have it!
Super cool. I wish I could go to that exhibit. I just started collecting the Deluxe editions of Berserk and they are amazing. Such a sad loss of one of the best Mangaka to ever live. You can see his influence everywhere in modern fantasy. Just look at the cover of that art book and you can see where Miyazaki got the inspiration for Artorius right down to the pose. There is so much Berserk influence in Dark Souls and countless other books, games and manga. Dude is truly a legend.
You describing the exhibit made me very emotional. Hearing the news at 2 am here in the US, immediately had to create a tribute. Miura-sensei has always been my hero, inspiring me for over a decade. It hurt my heart to hear about his passing. He had such a passion and love for art, inspired by all kinds and in turn he inspired all of us with his manga as the source. Berserk is a gift to us all that will never be forgotten. RIP Miura and Thank You So Much....for everything.
Hey Joey, I'm not sure what the chances are of you seeing this, but I finished the Berserk manga a few days ago and I genuinely agree with you and the boys that the word masterpiece is not enough to describe it. I'm torn between wanting the story to continue through Kentaro Miura's assistants or leaving it unfinished. Through trial and error, I managed to get the Berserk button-up and my own Behelit necklace. Stay strong struggler, and RIP Kentaro Miura.
He'll always be remembered, berserk is one of the manga that caught my eye on the first arc. It's a loss for us entertainment enthusiasts that a legend like him passed away. One of the best story tellers of our time. Rest well sensei.
i remember ordering the bootleg dvd of this in 98 off ebay, cause i played the dreamcast game not knowing what berserk was. got a bootleg fan sub since it wasnt out in the US. fell in love and have been in this world for over 20 years now. when i heard he passed it really hit me, i didnt expect it to but it did. im glad you got to go to the exhibit, i was wondering how it was. i want that art book. im rambling.
The worst thing about Miura’s passing is the fact that he died of an aortic dissection which is basically when a piece of your aorta that runs into the heart peels off on the inside and blocks blood flow it is really one of the worst and most painful ways to die.😔 RIP Miura.
@@shabeehhaider2553 bruh monster?? I understand the other wants but i watched the anime and read the manga, sometimes Is so slow but Is personal taste and i respect
@@shabeehhaider2553 Nice list, I still need to read Eden: It's an Endless World but still you can make an argument that Berserk is atleast on their level though and I have it above Vagabond and Monster. Though they are both in my top 5
Berserk is one of manga that makes me can forget all of my sadness bcs of brokenhearted besides of jojo's and i still can't believe that our journey must stopped at chapter 364. Really sad,but thanks for all of your hardwork to entertain us miura sensei. We will never forget you. R.I.P Miura Kentaro.
miura senseis art isnt insane cause its detailed af....imo its insane cause he had this magic thing that allowed him to capture emotion even in his most "sinple" drawings! berserk is one of the very rare cases that a story is more than that,it has been a life changing experience for most of us and it will go on like that for future readers!
Hmm, wow, I really end up liking this Joey content more than theAnimeMan channel. Not saying this channel is better, as there is clearly more quality in TheAnimeMan. I really like it when I see humanity in someone, perhaps that's why.
I recently started reading Berserk, and so many of my friends did/do. I'm only in the beginning chapters but this has by far became one of my favorites. RIP Kentaro Miura.
I started reading berserk last 2020 and it helped me in many ways and was even prepared to wait for the next chapters, it doesn't matter how long it will take, i'll wait. But one morning, i just wake up, grabbed my phone and scroll in some apps and when i read about Miura-Sensei's passing.. I couldn't help myself but cry and heartbroken.
Would be an honor to see such exhibit, maybe one day there will be another one done to celebrate some anniversaries of Berserk. There should be a permanent museum for Berserk and Kentaro Miura. RIP Miura sensei. Also more living manga artists should be celebrated like that, while they are alive, imagine if Miura sensei could see that exhibition himself, how work loved and celebrated like that, in person, by so many people.
Berserk was the only manga that I've continued to read and cared about since '96.. and now I'm crying for the loss of Miura sensei and my most beloved manga of all time more than a year after Miura's passing while watching Joey's video.
I was all hyped AF going through Twitter that night, my whole mood did a 180 when I saw the news. It was truly devastating learning that one of my favorite mangaka passed away. Also this made me way more understanding about mangaka taking breaks. (It pains my soul knowing I can't go to the exhibit)
I never really read Berserk, nor really know the name Miura Kentaro before the news of his passing. But seeing people's reaction really makes me thinking. That, one day, inevitably, one of my favorites (either mangaka, game director, game composer you name it) will make me mourn beyond belief, and I don't think I'm prepared for that. R.I.P. Miura Kentaro
I just got back from visiting the Berserk Exhibit in Tokyo from opening day and the first thing I saw when I came home was my package of the Young Animal magazine that held the last chapter Berserk. Now I’m crying again. That ending. I’m still processing whether or not I feel I’m satisfied. Also the exhibit will be held again in other prefectures. So far it’s been announced to be in Osaka’s Hirakata Park Event Hall from Dec. 11 - Jan. 30. I too bought from the made to order reproduction art prints. RIP wallet.
It's always so sad when a person you admired passes away... R.I.P. Mr. Kentaro. I never read Berserk manga but I promise I will. I always admire a great art, but... Actually the thing that helped me to know Berserk a bit better is not the art but the song 'Forces' from extremely underrated musician Susumu Hirasawa. (Btw highly recommended to listen). He is a pure genius. Now it's time to know the rest... about Berserk.
Miura's passing was really one of the most depressing news I've heard in a longest time. His work paved the way for many other stories, games and works of media.
i see ur pretty quick here, u were late on that kurtzgesagt video tho😏...😆
I fxxkin love this guy
Honestly
agree
Definitely. Miura really touched everyone who read his books
Do guys think I should get/buy & added to my my collection & my waifu collection the manga or anime version of berserk or both versions manga & anime of berserk? & do you guys think I should get/buy & added to my collection & my waifu collection a Japanese PlayStation 2 even though I already have a NA version of PlayStation 2 in my collection & my waifu collection :)?
“Hate is a place where a man who can't stand sadness goes."
The greatest piece of wisdom this manga gave us.
Thank you, Sir Miura. And sleep well.
i really like this quote... I literally cried after that blacksmith died

Hanarr is Godo 2.0
God damn.
I should this give series a shot.

How tf does berserk still not have a good anime adaptation it needs some opm season 1 adaptation I'm literally willing to wait however long
Wish they would animate it all as like a "in memoriam" typa thing but sadly I'm sure it won't happen :/
Its unadaptable man, they can’t match his level of detail, no way, it’d be too expensive to make.. but imo I think it’s worth it, it’s the greatest manga and possibly the greatest work of art ever. At least that’s what I think.
@@spacesomeone true but still I'm down bad for a good berserk adaptation 😔
the amount of detail the manga has is near impossible to translate to a anime

I don't normally cry when hearing of the death of a celebrity, musician, anyone of that nature. But I couldn't help but tear up when I heard of Miura-sensei's death.

The only thing I could think of is how grateful I was to live during a time when Miura was alive and creating the series. There’s just something about him that made him feel like that type of uncle that lives on the other side of the world but still would check in with you to see how your life was, and to inspire you in the darkest times. I think a lot of us can say this but Berserk and Kentaro Miura seriously changed my outlook on life.
Its always sad for us, if our favorite manga sensei have stop working or even death.
The only two people that made me actually shock and sad is Miura-sensei and Technoblade
I started reading Berserk just before Miura's passing. I was getting to the eclipse part of the story when I heard the news and even though I hadn't and still haven't caught up where we are now. It still broke my heart. I'm a big, big fan of Fromsoft games, so Demon's Soul, Dark Soul, Bloodborne, Sekiro and upcoming Elden Ring. They have such a massive influence over Miura's work. I mean, those games would not be what they are if it wouldn't be for Miura. I've gained more respect for his work now that I'm actually reading what he has created. I didn't realise before his passing how much he has impacted the media and the world in general. I wish I would've understood it then, but I'm glad I'm more knowledgeable now.
I'm still reading it, I'm on Volume 18 right now and it's just simply breath-taking. The earlier volumes I read very fast, because how immersed I was and how I've never experienced such a story and characters, but now I'm reading it in such snail pace. I'm somewhat scared/afraid to reach the end. Especially knowing that it's most likely not going to be finished. I'm obviously going to read it, because it's worth every second, but yeah. I'm just taking it extremely slow now. I'm very much savouring this experience, because I'm only going to get to read this for the first time once. I'm appreciating every panel. I'm excited to reach the end, but nervous as well, which fits perfectly with the story I guess.
Thank you, Miura Kentaro.
It actually gets better on re-reads. You notice so many small details, story connections and symbolism you may have missed
Same bro, I got into berserk because of Soulsborne games
I literally spent this very day listening to Guts's theme while reflecting on everything Gut's story meant to me, watching the "bonfire of dreams" scene over and over, and being sad over Miura's passing.
Spot on, Joey.
Been playing dark souls nonstop to fill the hole that berserk left me. RIP Miura, an amazing artist and story writer.
You just know that Elden Ring is gonna be filled to the brim with Berserk references now.
@@Odinsday man I often wonder these days how Hidetaka Miyazaki is feeling. He was, without a doubt, one of the biggest Berserk fans out there. If Miyazaki does any kind of reference to Miura’s passing in Elden Ring I’ll be crying for the rest of the day.
@@hellogoodbye3786 I hope so, I haven’t read Berserk but I did notice that wolf knight in the trailer that looked like Guts, which is cool
@@chillboii6864 like wise man
@@hellogoodbye3786 true it would be a beautiful moment to experience and I would definitely shed some tears
Berserk will always be a masterpiece. It changed so many lifes, genres. Thanks alot Miura for giving us this incredible story.
one of the greatest thing miura did is green lighting/ supporting alot of shoujo manga before it becomes mainstream (example: yona of the dawn)
@@kurokun07 ayo i loved that anime
Im glad that Joey experienced this,I really wanted go there myself but it's really unfortunate.Miura's works was one which got me hooked in drawing in general,the details, the characters, different and unique breath taking visuals it's just soo amazing .
Miura is one of those few Mangaka that transcend being an illustrator or “comic artist” and cross over into fine art in terms of absolute mastery and creative energy.
The man was truly dedicated to both the art and the story rather than just using the art as a means to efficiently tell the story like many others.
I think the time between even the early issues speak to that.
I haven’t read Berserk but just the thought of such an amazing artist has passed still makes me feel sad. After hearing about him so much, I think it’s definitely worth to read it now
Just pace yourself and read it over time, it'll be worth it for sure.
@@VividVoid I sort of wish that I didn't read it so fast. I read it in about a week last week. I finished it at a retreat and wanted to get to the end so bad. I didn't realize how much it would absolutely destroy me not having anymore of his work to read. He really was unmatched, most likely one of the greatest stories of all time and it wasn't even finished. It makes me so sad, but I'll continue to love his work. Honestly I've already thought about rereading it and I only finished it 2 days ago.
Have you read it?
8:31 the doodles he scribbled when he was 10 years old at school were already super impressive for his age.
The least I ask for is that Miura's artwork stays in a museum in Japan forever and not exclusively for one time only.
I'd say that my favorite panel is Rickert slapping Griffith, it's simply just the bridge, the two characters, the flying petals, and the slap....that's it. It's such a perfect scene that focuses on that moment so much
love you Joey, glad you got to experience this. You deserve it bro 😔
The news of Miura's death came out on my birthday the 19th of May... Then a month later, my father passed away... If I may be frank with everyone, FUCK 2021.
my dearest condolences man, rough probably doesn't even describe this last year for you
@@gcjas1998 thank you, but I find solace and inspiration to keep going in work and the wisdom shared by both my father and Miura sensei.
I hope you the best.
Dude, after reading the last chapter, I was left with this emptiness inside me and felt sad, but now I am celebrating this amazing series and how much it influenced other works
The last time I cried over someone I didn't know it was Robin Williams. Just a true talent is gone
I havent read Berserk, but watching Joey talking about it and being this sentimental makes me wanna read.
Me too.
Don't read it, trust me bro, the withdrawal is real.
Go for it.... You'll learn incredible life lessons and that's at the very least
@@s0ulweaver I am reading now, I haven't read a lot but I am really enjoying.
@@SHADOW-rb1md How far are you now? Have you finished or are you still taking your time?
I'm so sad I will never be able to see this full exhibit.. I absolutely LOVE this manga and I sobber when I found out he died. I bet it was breathtaking and I absolutely would have cried being there. Thank you so much for sharing as much as you could! Also 1000% worth all the yen! As I would say, "shut up and take my money!" Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Sounds like A memory I'm sure you'll cherish mate. Still remember when I got the news. Terrible. Rest in peace. One of the most talented all rounders, he NAILED the story, fuckin nailed the art....Kentaro had it all man.
Y'all stay safe and healthy.
"He died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right ?
I bet he was happy."
Rest in peace Miura Kentaro and thank you for everything.
Dude it’s so awesome that you like berserk, I’ve been reading it since I was in middle school now I’m a college senior. RIP Master Kentaro Berserk will be the story that always lives on to me.
I grew up on Miura's work. I was in my teens, when I first discovered Berserk during the 2000s. His passing hit me hard, it felt like a really close friend, who you grew up with, shared stories with, had just passed away. ☹
What I loved about Berzerk is that going into the story felt like learning from an old Grimoire in the 1800’s or some obscure era where everything was nuanced and arcane. The morals and raw depth of the story showed aspects of the mind that you just simply don’t see anywhere in media this days. It felt like the man was literally showing aspects of the mind that where always there but few dared to look. I really would love to hear if he ever gave a conclusion to the story.
I read Berserk after the Death of Miura, and never knew the absolute brilliance of this man. creating such a hatred for one Griffith, and the feeling the intense grief and longing of guts. the latest chapters of berserk have pulled emotions from me that i never thought I would have. Seeing how much of an impact Miura has made in all the peopled who have read it is such a testament to the hard work he put in. and seeing the people who made such amazing fan films after He passed makes me hopeful that we might get an amazing version of Berserk animated. the only way that I can end of this is saying Rest In Peace Miura, I wish you could see all of the people you have affected, you have been and always will be a legend is manga history.
Well said. I had the same experience.
Kentaro Miura's death was a huge hit to the heart that left manga fans in the dark. He was one of (if not) the best mangaka that told a rich and compelling story with beautiful and god-like art. Even though a few months have passed, it still Hard to swallow knowing that we will never continue to see Miura's beautiful art, incredible story, and his vision of how Berserk would end.
I wish I could have attended to this exhibit. Berserk means so much to me, I'm still so devastated by Miura sensei passing away. So thank you for sharing this with us. It means a lot. 🌼
I really hope the company managing Miura Sensei's legacy will bring this gallery to other fans around the world. So much of the detail isn't able to be seen on the volume releases, and being able to view the original pieces is something for my bucket list.
I'm guessing that artbook was exclusive to the event? I hope they make a commercial version so fans can also appreciate the art. I know I'd love one.
Just caught up after days of binging, I feel like crying now T-T
People can disagree all they want but Berserk’s manga has the best manga art style of all time
Who tf disagree? That makes me go Mozgus berserk hammering them with deluxe book!
I'm definitely gonna continue buying the manga of Berserk. The art is so gorgeous and Miura Kentarou was truly a visionary
i feel so fucking bad that this exhibit not only i won't be able to see it in a video like yours but i won't ever be able to see it EVER. like god damn i missed something so big yet i couldn't even have known it happened
There was this meme a while back that anytime an update for one of Miura's favorite games came out people would say "Miura died again", and that Berserk would go on another hiatus. My best friend sent me the letter announcing Miura's death and I thought it was just a really good shitpost for a full day.
Then I started seeing it from more mainstream sources and I couldn't believed I laughed at Miura's actual death. Even though it was obviously an accident, I felt like shit.
I had made a PowerPoint shit post about Miura playing idol master or being dead and two weeks later when it was announced he had died it kinda clicked I might've made that joke on the actual day of his death
@@malum1424 I think you're in the clear on that, I think I recall that they waited a month to go public to give friends and family a time to grieve in privacy.
Miuras passing had me really depressed to tell my mom because berserk was one of the mangas that we really connected on and that we would wait months just to get chapters on to read we miss him dearly.
Thanks for this video, Joey. I never cried for someone I haven't met like this. RIP Miura Sensei.
Finally felt ready to watch this.
I started Beserk a month ago and whenever I read any chapter it just deeply pains me whenever I read more and continue the story. Before I was never interested in reading Mangas but Beserk was the one who immersed me in reading it. The drawing, the storyline, The Hell and the way how guts character develops shows the genius of Kentaro miura sensei. I started Beserk after his passing away but tbh if I read it before I would have burst crying after hearing the news. I'm on ch 251 and I really love it so far.
Edit - Just finished. Rip Kentaro Miura
Man, I'd kill to go see half of what you described and I'd be content, but to actually get to see the original pages, dude, I can't even begin to imagine how amazing that was. Also, that art book, I seriously hope that's available else where because I need that book. R.I.P Miura, his art changed how I view and go about my own art and I'm forever thankful I found his work.
Berserk will forever live on. Just like Guts defying the Invocation of Doom, Berserk will go on even after getting the Brand of Sacrifice (Miura's death).
I picked up the first few copies of Berserk manga physically recently and have started reading it. I've always loved the art just from what I've seen. I watched the original Berserk anime growing up, but I didn't know until I became an adult how much better the manga was hearing it from others and how the artwork looks and that an anime can't capture it that well.
I’m sad I didn’t know about this but its okay I rather swell up and not give up on life. Now I’m going to sulk to the ending theme to Berserk 1997. Kentaro Miura I will miss you.
Joey: "Some people will call me an idiot"
Me: "Nah mah duuude. You be a madlad"
In this scenario, I don’t think Joey was crazy for spending all that money. That’s to be commended.
I would do the same thing if a creator of one of my all time favorite series passes away… AND for there to have an exhibit!
Connor was the madlad for spending lots of dough on Jojo merch. 😂
@@galaxy_kitten95 Well I meant it in a positive way. What you wrote in sentences I tried to say with one word.
Some...
people call me the space cowboy...
Imagine WALLS of Miura's LITERAL pages in front of you.. I'm happy someone who adores Berserk as much as me got to experience this. I'm just low key crying watching this, hearing about it.
I've been scared to start Berserk for years because I knew I'd fall head over heels for it and with all the breaks between releases I didn't know if I could emotionally invest myself into it when I know I'd run the high risk of getting my heart broken, but after his passing I've decided to start the series and have bought all the collectors editions out and preordered the rest
Feels like theres a hole in my life ngl. I’m quite young and berserk is probably what have taught me the most about emotions, or I guess you could say made me discover it. It sounds cliche but I just feel weird man
I started reading Berserk on February 27, 2020 cuz my guy classmate recommended it to me. I was just gonna try it out but I actually ended up being invested in it because every panel was just full of details. Like, even background characters had actual distinct faces. It's just really cool. I mostly read 801 so me reading Berserk is a lil' bit weird to me. yea I dunno how to end this comment.
Thank you for the vid Joey being a Western fan. I couldn't see this exhibit with my own eyes.
How I got introduced Berserk was me scrolling for an art Reference and that inspired me so much to draw more.
I'm sad I cannot go see the exhibit, but I'm sadder still about his passing entirely. Berserk is what got me through some of the darkest time of my life and helped me make it through college, especially my last couple years as a senior. Hell, my thesis and some of my larger final projects were heavily inspired by Berserk (and JJBA). I snatch up any of the official merch I can and am so glad I've been able to re-read Berserk through official means, especially through the Deluxe hardback books (The 9th volume releases this November, if anyone is/was curious, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon). If the assistants and/or his family ever decide to continue the series and/or sell more official merch, i will gladly support them--both to support them and honor the work Miura spent so much of his life lovingly creating for us.
Thank you, for everything, Miura, and I hope your next life / afterlife is a pleasant one and you can experience wonderous things throughout it.
I've been a fan of Miura's berserk since 1999, and i remember eagerly waiting months on end for the next chapter of what could be the greatest story I've ever read.., i guess the turbulence in my head won't let me express how i truly feel, it's so sad to know that we might never know how this epic story ends.
You got me into berserk so good for you man
And look at you now with the cute Sharky pfp👌
All these paragraphs of comments, I really just love to see how much Miura-sensei was loved from all around the world. R.I.P Legend
I've just started reading it online and I like it so far. I've watched the golden age movies online prior to reading and I am currently a couple chapters into the golden age arc in the manga. I want to see what everyone holds dear to their heart. RIP to Miura sensei
I just finished berserk, and I just want to say that it is by far the best piece of fiction I have ever experienced. Story and artwork both blew me away, and when I got to the last chapter, I felt so empty. What’s worse was the letter to the fans from the producers that solidified the harsh and sad reality that is a world without miura sensei. I cried. Like a baby. What an experience, I loved every second of it.
AHHH WHY IS THIS OM UR SECOND CHANNEL DESERVES TO BE ON YOUR MAIN
I never knew miura had passed RIP 🙏
I still have berserk on my to watch/read list but I know how well loved it is
Bro this made me feel. Berserk was one of the best manga ever. To bad i am an overseas fan or i would have gone. The merch was worth every yen twice lol.
I discovered Berserk a year after his passing. I started reading the manga because of this video and now I just finished it. That was hands down the best story, characters and experience I have ever gotten from any type of media. Thanks Joey for showing what the last Berserk exhibit was all about and you explaining what we could not see for ourselves.

There was an event yesterday. I saw it on someone’s snap chat channel.! I hope it continues so I can visit Japan one day and go to it.! I love this anime and I played the Dreamcast game my whole life! I still have it!
omg prime1 !! i'm so proud of them being presented here, i'm a fan of their works since some time already :)
Thanks Joey for this beautiful appreciation video. I'm jealous of you for getting a chance to go to the exhibit tho
Super cool. I wish I could go to that exhibit. I just started collecting the Deluxe editions of Berserk and they are amazing. Such a sad loss of one of the best Mangaka to ever live. You can see his influence everywhere in modern fantasy. Just look at the cover of that art book and you can see where Miyazaki got the inspiration for Artorius right down to the pose. There is so much Berserk influence in Dark Souls and countless other books, games and manga. Dude is truly a legend.
I hope this exhibit comes back at some point because I would love to go and see that.
You describing the exhibit made me very emotional. Hearing the news at 2 am here in the US, immediately had to create a tribute. Miura-sensei has always been my hero, inspiring me for over a decade. It hurt my heart to hear about his passing. He had such a passion and love for art, inspired by all kinds and in turn he inspired all of us with his manga as the source. Berserk is a gift to us all that will never be forgotten. RIP Miura and Thank You So Much....for everything.
Hey Joey, I'm not sure what the chances are of you seeing this, but I finished the Berserk manga a few days ago and I genuinely agree with you and the boys that the word masterpiece is not enough to describe it. I'm torn between wanting the story to continue through Kentaro Miura's assistants or leaving it unfinished. Through trial and error, I managed to get the Berserk button-up and my own Behelit necklace. Stay strong struggler, and RIP Kentaro Miura.
R.I.P to Sir Kenta Miura and big respect to his amazing team on finalizing and polishing the last chapter, it was so emotional.
Hats off to the team.
He'll always be remembered, berserk is one of the manga that caught my eye on the first arc. It's a loss for us entertainment enthusiasts that a legend like him passed away. One of the best story tellers of our time. Rest well sensei.
Rip to legend Kentaro Miura. He made my favorite manga and the message spread throughout the manga was inspiring asf
i got that behelit that works as a musicbox in black desert online. im gratefull for playing and being part of the colab at the time
Thanks for this. And it wasn't a brag to mention the exclusivity. Just a comment on the limitation of fact that it was an exhibit.
i remember ordering the bootleg dvd of this in 98 off ebay, cause i played the dreamcast game not knowing what berserk was. got a bootleg fan sub since it wasnt out in the US. fell in love and have been in this world for over 20 years now. when i heard he passed it really hit me, i didnt expect it to but it did. im glad you got to go to the exhibit, i was wondering how it was. i want that art book. im rambling.
The worst thing about Miura’s passing is the fact that he died of an aortic dissection which is basically when a piece of your aorta that runs into the heart peels off on the inside and blocks blood flow it is really one of the worst and most painful ways to die.😔 RIP Miura.

I really like, that those kind of videos doesn´t have music in the background, because they don´t need it... words are enough
Man. I still wasn't ready for this video, really sad stuff..... such a damn shame he was taken from this world at only 54.... RIP Mr.Miura
miura senseis art isnt insane cause its detailed af....imo its insane cause he had this magic thing that allowed him to capture emotion even in his most "sinple" drawings!
berserk is one of the very rare cases that a story is more than that,it has been a life changing experience for most of us and it will go on like that for future readers!
As a die hard Berserk fan, i've almost cried just watching this video. Thanks a lot Joey for this tribute.
Hmm, wow, I really end up liking this Joey content more than theAnimeMan channel. Not saying this channel is better, as there is clearly more quality in TheAnimeMan. I really like it when I see humanity in someone, perhaps that's why.
Even though I had a hiatus on Bezerk. Miura's being gone did effect me. I'm glad I came across it. Even though I was 14.
i can only hope the publishers aren't taking a piss and just Milk this guy's stuff as much as possible
This deserves to be main channel video
Joey, if you like Miura-sensei art, you should look into polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński. Some Berserk pannels are very similar to his art.
I recently started reading Berserk, and so many of my friends did/do. I'm only in the beginning chapters but this has by far became one of my favorites.
RIP Kentaro Miura.
I started reading berserk last 2020 and it helped me in many ways and was even prepared to wait for the next chapters, it doesn't matter how long it will take, i'll wait. But one morning, i just wake up, grabbed my phone and scroll in some apps and when i read about Miura-Sensei's passing.. I couldn't help myself but cry and heartbroken.
Would be an honor to see such exhibit, maybe one day there will be another one done to celebrate some anniversaries of Berserk. There should be a permanent museum for Berserk and Kentaro Miura. RIP Miura sensei.
Also more living manga artists should be celebrated like that, while they are alive, imagine if Miura sensei could see that exhibition himself, how work loved and celebrated like that, in person, by so many people.
Berserk was the only manga that I've continued to read and cared about since '96.. and now I'm crying for the loss of Miura sensei and my most beloved manga of all time more than a year after Miura's passing while watching Joey's video.
I was all hyped AF going through Twitter that night, my whole mood did a 180 when I saw the news. It was truly devastating learning that one of my favorite mangaka passed away. Also this made me way more understanding about mangaka taking breaks.
(It pains my soul knowing I can't go to the exhibit)
I never really read Berserk, nor really know the name Miura Kentaro before the news of his passing. But seeing people's reaction really makes me thinking. That, one day, inevitably, one of my favorites (either mangaka, game director, game composer you name it) will make me mourn beyond belief, and I don't think I'm prepared for that.
R.I.P. Miura Kentaro
Thank you for making this video, Joey... I would love to visit this exhibition, but since that ain't possible, this is just about the best we can get!
I just got back from visiting the Berserk Exhibit in Tokyo from opening day and the first thing I saw when I came home was my package of the Young Animal magazine that held the last chapter Berserk. Now I’m crying again. That ending. I’m still processing whether or not I feel I’m satisfied.
Also the exhibit will be held again in other prefectures. So far it’s been announced to be in Osaka’s Hirakata Park Event Hall from Dec. 11 - Jan. 30. I too bought from the made to order reproduction art prints. RIP wallet.
It's always so sad when a person you admired passes away...
R.I.P. Mr. Kentaro.
I never read Berserk manga but I promise I will. I always admire a great art, but...
Actually the thing that helped me to know Berserk a bit better is not the art but the song 'Forces' from extremely underrated musician Susumu Hirasawa. (Btw highly recommended to listen). He is a pure genius.
Now it's time to know the rest... about Berserk.
