“I like that things can always get worse for Guts. Most stories, when an interdimensional butthole shat out thousands of horrific monsters that ate everyone you knew, that’d be pretty much the climax. For Guts, it was like the first of many, and it’s possible that they are getting worse and worse. Or worse in different ways.
Maybe that’s what’s cool about Berserk: Things always get worse, but sometimes, instead of the monster being bigger and badder, they get worse because they’re bad in a new and different way.”
