#RIP Kentaro Miura

Kentaro Miura, the author of the cult long-running manga series Berserk is dead.

He was the author of several other great one-shots (Japan) and shorter manga (Gigantomakhia).

But he was mostly known for his work on the dark medieval/fantasy adult (seinen) series Berserk.

Which has been translated and published all over the world. The last few volumes have been published pretty slowly, with pretty long gaps in between them. But when a new volume was released it was an event, it wast unsurprising to see a new volume of Berserk get in the top sellers in countries like France, Italy, Germany, etc.

His writing was unique, but more importantly he was was a master like no other, capable of producing some of the finest art in manga. Fans will sorely miss the man, the legend. Berserk was slowly but surely coming to a long-promised end game..

It was just announced hedied of acute aortic dissection at age 54. And I've been trying to write this post for an hour since I learned the news. But I know I couldn't start focusing on my work without writing these words first..

RIP Kentaro Miura.

But it makes you wonder...

#GamingNEWS Berserk Musou pics

There's a bunch of new info regarding the highly expected (by the fans) Berserk Musou game. And even if you're familiar or a fan of those Dynasty Warrior games, it does sound pretty fun. At the very least, Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage-fun.

The game is supposed to cover most if not all of the current Berserk manga! From the "Golden Age" era to the current Fantasia stuff. The game will also let you play as both Guts and Griffith. Dynasty Warrior games usually feature large rosters, so expect to also control some of Guts' current companions.

Here's some screenshots so far:

Get ready to swing a huge sword through hordes of enemies on screen!

Can't wait!!!!

#E3News - Berserk Mosuo/Dynasty Warriors anouncement trailer!!

Alright, E3 is over! You can all go home! The best news to have come out of the show was just revealed:

There's gonna be a new Berserk game! Another "Musou" title from Koei Tecmo, Berserk Musou! After making these One Piece, Zelda and what have you other spinoffs, it's great to see the team that was partially responsible for those great (obscure) Dreamcast and PS2 titles go back to that license.

No idea on the plot, characters or if this will be an adaptation of a specific storyarc or not. But all we know is that the game is slated for PS Vita, PS3 and PS4 for now.
