Fun Fact: I never read Berserk, but I do know that the character of Guts was based on a real historical figure.
Gotz of the Iron Hand, an utter badass and one of the last knights in early modern Europe. He was a German and partook in many battles. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the main thing about him is that well, he has an Iron Hand in place of on of his hands due to an injury. A Waffen SS Division was named after him in WW2.
I always recommend Fullmetal Alchemist for people that want to watch anime but have never gotten into it. And I recommend ot the way I was put on which is watch the first 5 to 10 episodes of the original, then watch Brotherhood.
Oh weird, but you know what. That actually makes sense!
Yea the beginning of then other one was actually better but I’d forgotten about that because it had been so long and I had been so upset about the ending…
Actually there was a lot of good in that other one in its own weird way.
I like the greed arc in that one too and the greed fight scene was one of the best anime fights scenes, where Ed was doing acrobatics and destroying greeds carbon shell before stabbing etc…
Great chat. 👍

My choice for living in an anime world for a year:
Fantasy: The World or Frieren
Non-Fantasy: From Up On Poppy Hill
I know I cheated, but I couldn’t decide. lol! 🤣👍
That is amazing. Truth being stranger than fiction wins again
Haha! Indeed.
Super cool! I gotta watch this one!
Frieren is great. Super cozy
I just looked it up, looks so good! I will watch.
Cannot recommend Frieren enough. I can't believe I didn't mention it in our conversation!
Dang! I gotta watch it then!
