It's not that I don't want to give people nightmares, I just want them surprised. :)
LMAO THE FIRST CHAPTER IN IT IS THE DONOVON SCENE
LOL Oh yeah!!!
Near Mint Condition lol not only that the very first vol 1st page has guts banging a prostitute who transforms into a demon
YES
@@NearMintCondition Did the first two pages in your volume 2 Delux Edition have the sound effects translated? Mine doesn't. Thank you for your time!
Those books are massive. My copy of the first vol. arrived couple days ago, no video does it justice. That thing was too big to be called a book.
JoQan ha! I see what you did there! The enemies also referred to Guts’ sword too big to called it a sword before they all got decapitated!
HAHAHA! It is!
More like a slab...
@@trashfire9641 a slab of raw paper
It's like manga, but in HD!
FACT!
Can't wait for a 4K release
@@Player-re9mo Virgin. I only collect the IMAX format.
@@aderemiporsche no u, I’m still waiting for the 8K version
I watched the 90's Berserk anime a long time ago and loved it. Unfortunately, I'm not the type to enjoy reading comic books or manga, so that's where Guts' story ended for me. When I saw that a new Berserk anime was being made, I was so excited, but I think we all know how that turned out. After that disappointment, I realized that I really did want to finish Berserk, so I started to consider actually reading the manga even though I don't enjoy that sort of thing. With the release of the deluxe edition, I finally decided to pull the trigger and give it a shot, so I bought the first volume and let's just say I've already pre-ordered this one after finishing number one in just two sittings. Berserk is truly amazing.
This is the best story I've heard in a long time. All I can say is WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!!
Same happened with me just now
I was worried that it wouldn’t sell well and they would discontinued. Until I ordered it and received it in May, because it was sold out everywhere. Now I’m not worried about it so much. Just getting my books on day of release.
Yeah the first volume did quite amazing so they are planning on going through the whole thing.
I had the same worry!
@Bobby Derran Miura himself is confident he will finish it. He says were entering the home stretch and he even wants to do a sci-fi manga after he finishes Berserk
@Bobby Derran yeah. I feel you
What do the black strings mean in between the pages of berserk??
This is probably the only manga I will ever double dip for -- the Deluxe edition is so nice and I can't wait to see the later volumes of Berserk in this format since the art just keeps getting better.
And that is completely worth it.
I have all 40 volumes in spanish, they just released volume 40 a couple of months ago here in Mexico. It's a good enough cheap version for reading, but i'm planning on getting this hard covers eventually, i love how they oversized it.
The oversize of it and the paper quality are really nice and its the treatment Berserk deserved.
Only just received my vol 1 good to know 2 is coming soon. Beautiful to read in this format
Completely agree with you!
i wactched your first book review and instantly pre-ordered it, i got it and its AWESOME, now i preordered 2 and 3 because its TOTALLY WORTH IT
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it.
Best series of all time (IMO). Really glad its finally getting this treatment!! Getting all of these day 1.
You are absolutely right! It''s amazing.
I got Volume 1 and it was a beautiful book! Totally getting Volume 2.
Love hearing people are going to keep going with these.
So jealous… cant wait for my preorder to ship!
I think volume 2 had more printings than the initial printing of volume 1.
Can’t wait to have the full collection on my shelves. They look so good
By the way, I prefer the sound effects translated outside the panels like that. It keeps the original artwork unchanged in the panels, which I am all for!
At this rate you might have the collection in about 20 years
Same here. I love that about this translation.
Okay okay... maybe more like 19. :)
Near Mint Condition for us to get all 40 current volume like this, it will take about 13 volumes with 3 - 4 a years, that’s still a good 3 - 4 years before we even catch up. I doubt that he will even finish the manga by then.
Can't wait for this release.
It's coming in a bout a month.
I am really grateful for these in depth reviews of the Deluxe editions.
Thank you so much and I love doing these.
i never thought this existed, a hardcore US comics and manga fan... GODAMN OMAR IS A LEGEND!!!!
Thank you, you are too kind.
Such a beautiful release! Great vid NMC
Thank you, brother.
Bought volume 1 after your review, definitely gonna be picking up that beauty in June when it releases. Really enjoyed the oversized format.
So glad you enjoyed volume one, brother.
This is my first time reading the manga, and I enjoyed the first book. Can’t wait for 2 & 3, preordered all three from amazon for less than $100.
You are in for a treat with the rest of the series.
I pre ordered the first volume on Amazon & didn’t get my order
I cancelled and got it somewhere else
Ace they are starting to finally start shipping those books of volume.
Keep the manga reviews coming! Great stuff.
I sure will!
I’m excited about this continuing. I’m simultaneously restarting the series with these deluxes as I catch back up to current digitally
They are on board with the doing the whole series like this as long as it keeps selling. And let's be honest. It's Berserk, it's going to keep selling.
Can’t wait to pick this up!!
It's coming, brother!
Just got mine yesterday and not disappointed
It never does.
Mine doesn't come in until July but man I'm excited, the first volume was beautiful and I'm glad they're finally releasing Berserk in this format
This is the only format it should be released in.
Definitely picking up the volume 2 when it comes out later this month
I'm so glad people are picking these up. It's a great time for Berserk in Manga in this format.
I've read berserk before online but this edition is the way berserk is meant to be experienced
FACT!!!
So lucky man. Can't wait to get Vol. 2.
It's as amazing as the first volume.
@@NearMintCondition Glad to hear
i JUST ordered those 3 via amazon, will be MINE IN 2 DAYS AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YES!!!
Today I called my local book store to order in berserk berserk deluxe vol 3. Witch is coming out in November the 5th in Australia. Can't wait to get volume three
It'll be here before you know it.
Yes it will. It’s crazy how we are in 9th month now
I just got volume one 3 days ago I ordered it in february
I think this volume will have more printings.
I preordered around the same time and just got mine last week.
Same happened to me and im Dutch as well. Guess they had some delay shipping to the Netherlands.
My first foray into Berserk was with the Golden Age films on Netflix, which I thought were extremely well done, despite finding out later that there were some story lines left out. I had to start reading the series immediately and made a lot of progress on an online copy of the manga. It wasn't until I received Volume 1 of the Deluxe Edition that I was able to truly appreciate the artwork poured into each panel. What especially impresses me is Miura's ability to depict movement and speed with such incredible talent.
I'm so glad that you watched the anime on Netflix first. Because that first volume of the manga is nothing like the manga.
I'm really not a manga/anime fan but I saw deluxe 1 at my LCS and I'm really thinking about taking the dive into something new
You should check out the smaller volume one and then if you like it go back and check out the deluxe editions. As I said in the first volume video...don't judge it too hard on that first deluxe edition volume. This is the volume when you see what Berserk is all about.
Don't waste your time with the smaller ones, if you're even slightly interested, pull the trigger on the Deluxe Edition. Do it now!
No need to come back here and thank me after you've finished reading it, you're welcome.
If what you saw of the deluxe edition volume 1 pleased you, oh boy, Berserk will start blowing your mind with volume 3, and it will only get better. I mean, you already can see the potential in the first three volumes, and volumes 4-6 are awesome to watch, but it doesn't prepare you to what Miura will do a few years later. Volume 13 is the climax, so I guess you'll have to way for the fifth volume of the deluxe edition.
@@trashfire9641 But um, if he only buys the deluxe edition, he'll reach volume 40 in about what, four years ? :D
I bought the first volume for like 25 bucks off amazon, haven't read it yet but am gonna start today
I got volume 1 of berserk deluxe and i am hooked on berserk its just wow!!!! I live it very good and the 3 movies i just finish watching at Netflix they blew me away!!!😲😲😲👍👍
The three movies are made up of the first 13 volumes of this series. So the first four Deluxes and first chapter of Deluxe volume 5.
@@NearMintCondition got it thank you very much 👍👍❤
Even if it was just golden age in this treatment I’d be happy but hoping they go the whole way
They said as long as people keep buying, they plan on doing the whole thing. And they have been selling.
Berserk is the most incredible manga i have ever read, im kinda scared i wont find something better or similar ever.
It is the best!!!
Vagabond
And Kingdom
Here I am, rebuying all of berserk. Cant wait to see much later in the series, the art was kind of hard to see on the small pages.
There is so much happening in the golden age I actually wouldnt mind re-reading it anyway, no other manga can compare.
It is the arc to read.
@@NearMintCondition I agree man. Great videos
@@Matt-hb7tu Thank you, sir.
I’m up to book 6 plan on getting the deluxe volume 3 for the next chapters, my second manga I’m starting, I got a couple demon slayer books but I’m dumping my money into berserk, by far my favorite story and manga
still need to get volume 1 😂 good overview.
Thank you so much. It was my pleasure. Hope you enjoy the first volume.
Black swordsman arc is criminally underrated
Agreed.
epic. 3-4 a year feels pretty quick even though thats still 10-15 years. do you think there is any chance that speeds up if or when the story gets complete?
I would hope so. Miura being on his last arc gives me hope. If we get four a year We will be caught up in three and a half years with the regular volumes.
If only more manga could get this oversized treatment
I would love that.
Near Mint Condition I want one piece and bleach like that, that be amazing, especially one piece, it deserves that treatment, I don’t really like small manga volume.
Amazing video again
Tell me something, how many volumes of these will we get?
Right now we are at volume 40. So far it should be 13 volumes.
Near Mint Condition thanks 👍🏻
Masterpiece
Yes sir!!!
Own the whole manga so its time for me to update them. Now if Dark Horse can get the rights to do the Manga Kingdom and put it in this formmat then shit got real.
I have seen pics of Kingdom and it looks immaculate. So I would love that.
@@NearMintCondition I've read it for years it's a great read over the top duels but done beautifully. Another one that would be good for this is Fist of the Northstar.
arkillo89 that’s one of my most wanted books in HC. FotNS!
How long until you think it will be until the deluxe editions catch up to the manga? I would like to buy them all at once
7:22 That's the correct pronunciation of Berserk, in conformity with the Japanese term ベルセルク (Beruseruku). Most English speakers tend to pronounce it like "Beezerk" and it's awfully contradictory since none of them pronounce Serpico as "Zerpico" or "Zeerpico".
It's my Latin roots. :)
@@NearMintCondition Me too.
I love how you just quickly skipped over the Donovan scene, anyone who's read it knows why.
LOL :)
so is the deluxe edition just three in ones or did they also up the detail in it as well
Pardon my ignorance. But what does the 'Gaiden' refer to in your intro?
JTwoH in reference to Ninja Gaiden but more aptly Gaiden can translate as ‘side story’ or supplemental. So a short spin off or quick video.
@@whitecatcosplay722 gotcha! Well thanks!
Whats the difference between the dark cover and lighter colour of berserk manga?(not about deluxe edition)
no brainer must buy
For sure.
First manga ever, decided to buy deluxe editions after seeing the netflix movies!
I own these but I still watch this for fun
Thank you so much.
Is there any explanation as to why IST still hasn't made this available after nearly a week after it's release? This happened with Volume 1 as well, I was checking the page several times a day, until Walmart got copies in for about the same price about a month after release and I ordered from there.
They literally sold out of volume 1 in 35 minutes and then volume 2 in less than an hour. Dark Horse is keeping these in print, but it takes them a bit to reprint the books.
Have you ever done miyazaki's nausicaa? Lovely 2 volume box set.
I haven't, but I figured it's been out for a couple of years, surely someone has reviewed it on YT. But I sure as hell can.
@@NearMintCondition there's a few reviews. But i think alot of people have never heard of it.
@@kevinyoung7294 Okay then, I'm adding to the list of things to do videos on.
Hello. Sorry my English is so bad so I Didn t understand what you mean. The edition that includes colour pages is the spanish one? I can't find any review on the internet. Thanks
Your English is just fine. When I did an overview of the first volume people in the comments were stating that the Spanish Hardcover Edition had the color pages. I hope that helps.
@@NearMintCondition hello I mean... the pages inside the book ( as the first two pages of the chapter 1 ) .... or are they just in the japanese edition? Thanks mate
My copy has pages 609-624 reprinted in between pages 616 and 617. Is this an anomaly or are others like this? No missing pages just extra so only makes for some confusion while reading.
My copy was fine, man that is a bad misprint.
I love the only black and white tbh...
Yes!
I want this
It's phenomenal!
Near Mint Condition I almost have the entire regular edition and the first deluxe
that's awesome. It's the greatest manga!
This is my first time reading this manga. I’m not too familiar with the characters or story. The only other manga that I have read is Saint Seiya. I am more familiar with Saint Seiya than I am with Berserk. All in all it looks good.
Saint Seiya is huuuge where I am from. Peru, but here in America it never got that much love. Glad you are enjoying Berserk.
Yes, it’s too bad that Saint Seiya didn’t become as popular here in the United States as it did in Latin America. I enjoyed watching the anime and reading the manga in Spanish. I’m from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, it was popular in Puerto Rico, just like in Mexico and in South America. It’s my favorite manga and anime.
I’m enjoying Berserk. It’s a good manga.
@@NearMintCondition eres peruano? Hablas el inglés con un acento gringo medio neoyorquino que ni se te nota. Pero se me hacía raro que tuvieras la piel color puerta como yo jajajaja, quizás soy el único otro peruano que te ve
Golden Ageeeeeeee yahhhh
Oh yeah!! It all kicks it into gear here!!
I'm gonna buy the shit out of this.
Spoken like a true Berserk Fan!
When I bought this volume I was given a free wine voucher, now that I've opened the first page I see why.
That’s right.
Volume 1 was great, but there were some weird typos on a few of the pages. That's just not acceptable for the price they're charging. Especially with the continued lack of color panels. Any word on whether volume 2 has similar errors or if Darkhorse got their act together for the second volume?
Are you talking about the editiorial typos in spelling or the lighter inks?
@@NearMintCondition It's a huge volume, so I can't recall all the errors off the top of my head, but I know there were at least three separate mistakes in Volume I. And I don't mean typos or lighter inks. These were blatant and very weird errors that are not present in the original release. The one that stands out most in my mind occurs in the panel where Guts recalls Vagras as he reaches out to him and cries "Please...Avenge Me!" (pg 312). You'll notice that superimposed across the palm of Vagras hand the text reads some strange gibberish: "Pg 88" followed by "88.2 FX" and "88.3 FX." The mistake is not present in the original release of Berserk. I don't mind paying for the series twice if it means higher quality paper and binding and a bigger format, but why are there added mistakes that didn't even exist in the original? I mean, if our argument is that they reused an old print of the manga and thus did not include the color frames or address the inking issues, then why are there also typos present in the deluxe release that were not in the first printing? Honestly, a very strange situation.
Question: how old would your kids have to be before you allow them to read berserk? I started reading when I was about 9 or 10.
It's a tough question. I was watching and reading weird shit at 9 years old, but I have 9 year old daughter that I wouldn't let read this for years. There are some messed up things that happen in the book. Like V said, really depends on how you raise your kids.
@@NearMintCondition I agree. Depends on the personality they have. Some kids can separate the stories from reality and it's not a big deal. Follow up question, would you let your daughters read something like Invincible? What exactly would you say crosses the line in your opinion?
I have often thought about this question and was going to make an episode. Like some friends of mine get on me about watching Alien and Aliens with my nine year old. But she loves that stuff. My seven year does not, at all. So you are right about the difference in the personality. My nine year old has read Ultimate Spider-man, Klaus, Peanuts and when she turns 10 she is going to read my IDW Transformers and Turtles and honestly, i don't see an issue with Invincible. It's a little more violent than say Ultimate Spidey, but it's not bad. I think what crosses the line for me as a parent is the Guts back story with Gambino and of course the Eclipse. That was traumatizing for me to watch in 1998 when I was 20. I hope that explains more into my way of thinking.
@@NearMintCondition oh I totally get you. My personal take is that even children can read Berserk as long as they have been eased into mature storytelling. Just like you wouldn't have someone new to the medium reading Avengers by Hickman I dont think it's okay to show graphic content to people (young or old) that are not used to it. If a 9 year old loves scary movies and blood and stuff I'd be a lot more comfortable showing them something like berserk than I would to a kid that only likes cartoons and stuff.
absolutely with you, brother!
Berserk is god tier
YESSS!!!
God hand tier...
Berserk lives in black and white. The colored pages are kind of out of place, so its not to bad to miss them. But I do hope they have the posters in the future volumes.
I'm crossing my fingers for those mini posters being collected.
I wish not all the volumes had the same cover
does this reprint have better paper quality then the original release? the video makes it look like its better paper quality
It does. It uses a thicker paper quality. Not glossy but thick matte.
@@NearMintCondition that's enough to warrant a purchase from me, thanks for replying so fast!
Anytime and thank you for watching.
I think it’s better in black and white
When it has color it just looks like a children’s book
I think some of the color pages look pretty good, but I agree I love the amazing details in black and white.
damn i want these so bad
Right now barnes n nobles have on all mangas...buy 2 and get a 3rd FREE...I straight up bought all 3 editions in one go and only paid for 2 of them...you'll probably get more off if you're a member of barnes n nobles 👍
So, If my math is correct and if they do 3 volumes each deluxe vol, We should be caught up with the series in Deluxe Vol 13. I'm hoping Dark Horse prints more than 3 volumes a year, cause if not, We'd be waiting roughly 5-6 years for the deluxe prints to be caught up with the normal printing of the berserk books. Yet, I think they are possibly doing this on purpose seeing as how Kentaro is getting old and goes on hiatus quite a bit. Yet good news is, VOL 40 Is making it's way state side coming this October. So, there is that.
I notice volume 40 is making its way over here this October. I think you are right this is definitely on purpose...in case of delays on Miura's part.
Are the binding of these sewn or glued?
Sewn, my dood!
@@NearMintCondition awesome I wanted to know that because it is such a huge volume.😁👍
What do the black strings mean in between the pages of berserk??
The riboon? Are you asking about the bookmark?
@@NearMintCondition yea the black string in the middle of the pages whats the point of it bein there?
Thats the ribbon. Bookmark. :)
@@NearMintCondition ok thank you
does the deluxe volume 2 covers all golden age?
Volume 5 is the ending of the golden age.
Que hermoso 😍😍😍😍😍
Si es sierto!
Does this manga volume cover what's in the anime 1997?
Volumes 1-13 do or the Deluxes 1-4 and part of 5.
Uncanny Omar, is this the only manga that's released in this format? I would kill to see Dragon Ball and DBZ like this one day (although, I do enjoy the Viz Big 3-in-1)
Sadly, not very many. There are Hardcovers like Battle Angel Alita, Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Vinland Saga, but none that are this nice. This is a thing of beauty.
Near Mint Condition theres also mobile suit gundam the origin and jojos bizzare adventure, both great hc but this is just the bar for kind of gourmet manga xd
I forgot to mention that 70 $ is nothing when you are talking about omnibus today. Marvel and dc books are in the 100 - 250 $ for their omnibus. Honestly. This one is so popular that I bet you it would have sold out in color just as fast.
I have a feeling that color berserk will be a thing eventually, but not before it ends and for an anniversary.
One piece, Naruto and bleach are in color in Japan and they look great.
I would be all over that One Piece and Naruto. :)
I prefer black and white all the way. More authentic. Original Korean editions were all b&w. Colour came later.
I always wonder when they used the color pages in the Japanese version.
How the fuck?
I don't even have this yet!
Damnit, Kentaro, Dark Horse said you can't get your copies until we get at least three more volumes! Come on man! We need to know what happens NEXT!!
That book is thicc.
Thicker than a snicker!
You don't really need a knife to get the cellophane off. Hands work just as good and there's no risk of accidentally cutting the pages.
I'm a man that takes no chances. Honestly I use my hands too, but on video its more dramatic to take that knife out. :)
@@NearMintCondition Well if a knife works for you that's cool. Me ill just stick to using my hands all the way through. Btw what are you doing with your single Berserk volumes now? Selling them?
@@BradLad56 I ended up giving them to my brother. :)
The deluxe version of this series is going to be so expensive by the end (if it ever) Looks like I'm going broke.
I love the last sentence. :) You won't regret it.
My only problem with this is we're only getting three a year it seems :'(
Right, which will make it four years before we are caught up.
@@NearMintCondition
Me in 2021:
*Hah!*
Anyone else collect those white synapses pages that come with it? I lost my one for volume 2 and I am so disappointed in that 😂😂
Here's the thing. I love buying books and manga but I never read them. I will buy this one and prolly never end up reading it
Make an exception. You really should for this one.
Oh that Adonis scene. Tragic.
You said it.
How did you get it so early?
It was an advance copy from Dark Horse.
Near Mint Condition Man, I am jealous. It’s July for me... 😞
What else did you get early?
It's an advance copy from Dark Horse for an overview.
Lol was about to say it's already out ?!?
In a month.
Near Mint Condition it says July on amazon though.
That is when they will get it. Direct Market places will get it June 26th.
Berserk readers, any recommendations for other good manga?
Vinland Saga, Blade of the Immortal, Claymore, Fist of the NorthStar, Ubel Blatt and Vagabond.
How many volumes is Berserk in total?
Divine 40, bro. Vol 40 just released recently in japan after the long hiatus. The us will release it later.
Kevin oh damn. That’s going to be a lot more deluxe editions than I thought. Guess I should have asked that when I bought volume 1.
They are releasing 3 to 4 of the Deluxe editions a year. So you'll have time to catch up before Miura gives us volume 42. :)
Ficooo
Why didn’t gantz get this treatment ?? 😭
Perhaps one day. With the popularity of this type of format for manga.
Do you recommend Berserk to a young boy who is not even an adult?
It really depends on the kid right. I was sneaking in heavy metal magazines at the age of 10 and watching Friday the 13th and Nightmare on elmstreet at 11. I have a 10 year old daughter and heck no I wouldn't let her read Berserk. :) But hey every parent is different.
Nani?!
Noooooo.. the colored pages were all that I needed for it to be the perfect version of Berserk.. Pity :/ Still going to buy these though
This is THE best way to get them.
