@@NearMintCondition hoping you get a review copy for the Dimond Is Unbreakable volumes coming out! They look different from the rest of the Jojonium editions so I'm curious about how they will look side to side.
@@babylonshadows1877 in what way are they different ? i got all the hardbacks for part 1 up to part 3 if they are different it might look lame on the shelf, do you have a link / pictures ?
@@Harutjun just look it up on Google pics. It was recently leaked. I got all of the jojoniums as well, that's why I'm a bit worried about diamond is Unbreakable being different.

Dark Horse is really doing Berserk justice with these deluxe editions, hopefully they're able to get later volumes in this oversized format, Miura's art is just so beautiful and detailed
Update on this comment two years later....I pulled volume 1 off my shelf after the death of the author, I am almost done with volume 2 and I put in a order on IST a few days ago for the hardcover volumes of 5,6,and 7. Thank you again Omar for hyping this up! I am enjoying the early part of the ride.
@@ApexAerials as a casual manga/comic book reader I'd say it's one of the best stories I've ever read, the art work (especially later on in the series) is masterful as well. Just a warning though, there is a A LOT of disturbing stuff ie rape, torture, gore-which imo can sometimes be a bit excessive.
Around 10 years ago, I spent a whole month reading Berserk. I was fascinated by the anime that I went straight to read the manga and couldn't stop reading it. I have waiting this long for an special, hardcover, or deluxe edition. So, yes!! I just bought all 5 volumes at once.
God damn it's so beautiful. Looks like Dark Horse did this release right. I just hope they don't stop producing them halfway. Right now that's my biggest fear. Anyways, I can't wait for mine to come in.
I've always been interested in reading Berserk, and more manga in general. Glad I held off though, this is gonna be great. Maybe if it sells well Dark Horse will put some more of their series into hardcovers.
I'm super happy you received a review copy ahead of its release. This helped with any concerns I had about buying this. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Already got mine pre-ordered and can’t wait to see the artwork in an oversized format. I actually just started reading this series a couple of weeks ago and I’m so hooked.
My god I need to get this sooo bad. I was thinking of starting a collection for Berserk ever since I read it online. I really hope they continue these all the way till the end because these look gorgeous and Miura's artwork is stunning.
I remember selling my Wii U and 3 games for 37 Berserk vols and now 4 years later we get this ffffffffff. But alast its calling me and time to start saving up money again XD
I preordered this and the second one as soon as they went up on amazon, and two things I want to say. First off, the quality alone is very much worth it. I'd say that, for anybody that's read Berserk (whether its online or through the English volumes at a friend's house or if you even own the volumes yourself), you should definitely consider picking this up if you can. As for anybody that already owns some or all of the volumes released so far, I think that upgrading to get these might depend on how much of a fan they are. Secondly, now that I've seen just how nice the volume looks, especially with the volume covers being included at the end, I'm so glad this is getting released over here. Since I only own volumes 1 and 6 and never had a chance to really pick up more, I'm looking forward to collecting this release. I just hope that there's no delays and everything turns out alright.
Thank you so much for subbing, I love Berserk!! Best manga I've ever read. I really hope you enjoy the manga. It starts with a different lighter tone, but by the time it gets into the flashback chapters, you will be blown away.
there are some great stories in the medium, this being one of the greatest. However getting used to reading from right to left can start off being a little tedious until you get used to it
Wow, that looks amazing! I’m so glad I’ve only bought the first two volumes so far, now I can read it all in this awesome format. I also like that they match the height Battle Angel Alita Deluxe Editions that I just ordered.
Nice. I'm Brazilian and down here people love Berserk too. I've never been into it, but now is the time. Just bought the first three (the 3rd on pre-sale). I'M GOING IN, GUYS! IM GOINGHHRRr ... rrr... pleas... ple ... ... ...
Lol I read this for first time on 1999 which is 20 years ago. Did not knew It was already 10 years of releasing at that point. Now it's 30 years long and still going on damn... I love berserk and still waiting for decent modern ps4 berserk game. (No dynasty warrior type berserk, more of a dark souls type berserk)
Would love to see more Manga reprint reviews from your team. For example those Dragon Ball Full Color Mangas and Sailor Moon Eternal Editons would be great to see a comparison video of them vs their orginals releases.
Have this shiz pre ordered since it got listed!!! Got so excited when I saw the video listed, then bam "review copy" hopefully not too long of a wait left
i love oversize format. it makes the experience so much better appreciating the art and honestly its hard for me to read regular manga its too small lol
Damn these are beautiful. Love that the covers are in the back. If they are missing from omnibus like releases it always makes me sad a f. Gonna buy these for sure♡
I've been wanting to get into Berserk for the longest time, just started collecting Berserk, 4 volumes in and I just realize there's the Deluxe edition... guess it's time to switch to this deluxe edition lol
@@NearMintCondition Hell yeah man it looks sick, I hope the deluxe editions would come out sooner though, I'm anxious to read a lot of Berserk, but there are only two deluxe editions out, unfortunately...
Thanks for that size comparison at the beginning. I bought the Gantz omnibus and was a little disappointed by how small they are. From what i can see on your video this deluxe edition is the same size as the volumes in the Akira 35th anniversary Box set or the Ghost in the Shell Deluxe edition. I already have the first 2 Berserk DLX volumes pre-ordered. Let's cross our fingers and hope Dark Horse publishes the complete series.
Joe Chip I think DH knows how well this title sells and will finish it out for the long haul. I own several of their Omnibus editions, but this... this is a masterpiece.
@@acurlyboi2944 I didn't mean every page. I was referring to the pages that should've been colored. The opening scene with the demon in the woods at the start of Ch 1 was supposed to be colored but it's left in black & white. The same goes for the start of Ch 2 where Guts fights the ghosts.
I was patiently waiting for a price drop at RightStufAnime, so I could buy all 40 volumes in bulk. If I had done so, I would have lost a looot of money.
Growing up in middle school I only had 2 volumes of Berserk. At the time I didn't much care for the series. As I grew older and played games like Dragons Dogma, Dark Souls and Bloodborne, I started to get into the genre more. Hearing that the inspiration for Dark Souls came from the twisted Idea's of Berserk made me want to read the series. I quickly bought up as many volumes of Berserk as I could. I went from Volumes 2-10, then 10-25, then bought the rest of the volumes until current from RightStuf when they had bundle sales of 5 volumes bundled together labeled in a *Arc* like format. I will be paying closer attention to detail when I receive this hard cover edition, primarily due to the fact that I have received copies of Berserk where in certain instances the Ink on the pages have been very light during the printing process, as well as very dark in other instances to where the pages themselves felt weak as though they would fall apart. You can currently pre-order 3 Deluxe volumes through amazon which I'm excited for. I can't wait to sit down and re-read some of these in higher quality and with more attention to detail.
I'm sure that price was a factor or perhaps even licensing. I mean at $50.00 that's expensive for a manga. Throwing in the color pages probably would have increased that.
One thing I am loving about this new era of Manga stateside is more love for the older series. Jojo, Battle Angel, and now Berserk (as well as Gundam but I'm not sure how old that is) are beautiful in hardcover. I also believe Devilman and Harlock have started HC releases in the last year too so...yeah manga is getting uber sexy. Some series that I would love to see get the HC treatment would be Guyver (bioboosted armor) and Hajime no Ippo
I want Dark Horse to take note and give us those beautiful Appleseed books in HC format. And Viz to reprint Sanctuary in HC so everyone can enjoy how wonderful the stories are.
I’m might soon start to read berserk soon and was wondering if the deluxe edition would be a better purchase then the regular paperback also are the deluxe versions all caught up to the recent volumes or will I have to wait cause if they aren’t then I’ll just go with the paperback
This looks awesome. I already knew I wanted these and already have the pre orders. But this was great to see what it will look like. Amazon has vol.1 for under 30 right now also
@@NearMintCondition thanks looks amazing dark horse really did a great job with this release they just better not dare just up and stop printing future releases lol
@Chris Warner this presentation is purely amazing. To see my favorite manga like this....I have to say it was worth waiting over a decade to get this kind of treatment. Thank you for describing exactly what paper you all decided to use to showcase Miuara's amazing artwork.
@Chris Warner thank you for the info it looks great. got all 3 preordered. Only wish you would of put the volume covers at the beginning of each new volume instead of in the back but it suffices
@@NearMintCondition Yeah, I recommend them! I just have the first volume of Battle Tendency and I love it. The only things that could bother is maybe the change of names that are originally musical references, because copyright and all of that (usually they do this with Stands) and that starting from Diamond is Unbreakable the releases are not going to have the same design as the first 3 parts (JoJonium releases) so the inconsistency is going to be there, but the new design seems nice!
I have mine preordered with RightStuf and definitely excited to get it because I have never read Berserk. I have only ever seen a bit of the original anime series but I know it is quite beloved so when I saw this edition was being released it seemed like a good way to jump in the story. Now let’s just hope Dark Horse commits to finish printing these because their record for completing book series is spotty. Eden Its An Endless World is a perfect example of my frustrations with Dark Horse.
Yep I'm definitely buying all of berserk again lol
It's so worth it.

I'm sure that price was a factor or perhaps even licensing. I mean at $50.00 that's expensive for a manga. Throwing in the color pages probably would have increased that.
It's kinda cool to see them uncolored though. More detail stands out, plus it makes it easier for fans to color them how they want.
Where can I find the colored pages?
@@Azure_Six most worthwile scans have them, and the origional Young animal magazines.
One thing I am loving about this new era of Manga stateside is more love for the older series. Jojo, Battle Angel, and now Berserk (as well as Gundam but I'm not sure how old that is) are beautiful in hardcover. I also believe Devilman and Harlock have started HC releases in the last year too so...yeah manga is getting uber sexy. Some series that I would love to see get the HC treatment would be Guyver (bioboosted armor) and Hajime no Ippo
I want Dark Horse to take note and give us those beautiful Appleseed books in HC format. And Viz to reprint Sanctuary in HC so everyone can enjoy how wonderful the stories are.
During Covid19 I bought this as something to dive into since I’ve always wanted to get into it and I love the Dark Souls series
You are in for a treat if you are reading it for the first time.
I will be buying Berserk deluxe edition volume one this Friday for us Australians
Love hearing that!
Thank you 🙏
I’m might soon start to read berserk soon and was wondering if the deluxe edition would be a better purchase then the regular paperback also are the deluxe versions all caught up to the recent volumes or will I have to wait cause if they aren’t then I’ll just go with the paperback
The deluxe is the way to go. So far we are on volume 7 of the deluxe and on the way to 8. So it might take two more years of deluxe to catch up.
The first manga I've purchased. Thanks a ton for this content.
Thank you for the kind words.
$25 on Amazon right now. What a steal
Damn, we get ripped off here in the uk
@@rolan5948 same, Im in Portugal =(
This looks awesome. I already knew I wanted these and already have the pre orders. But this was great to see what it will look like. Amazon has vol.1 for under 30 right now also
That is a great deal for this wonderful book.
Can't watch right now but my question is does it have premium paper like nice white or is it that recycled paper
It's the thick white matte paper.
@@NearMintCondition thanks looks amazing dark horse really did a great job with this release they just better not dare just up and stop printing future releases lol
@@TheSymbiot3Venom I'm sure with the popularity of the series and the demand for this format...they are going to go through with the whole thing.
@Chris Warner this presentation is purely amazing. To see my favorite manga like this....I have to say it was worth waiting over a decade to get this kind of treatment. Thank you for describing exactly what paper you all decided to use to showcase Miuara's amazing artwork.
@Chris Warner thank you for the info it looks great. got all 3 preordered. Only wish you would of put the volume covers at the beginning of each new volume instead of in the back but it suffices
How was this not on my radar?!? Oh Well, it sure as hell is now lol. Nice job, love your vids man!
Thank you so much, brother. Glad it's in your radar now.
Wow 😮
It's a thing of beauty.
Just ordered a copy! will be my first and probably only manga collection
It will not disappoint. :)
i need a jojo deluxe volume too
That would be awesome.
The hardcover releases of VIZ are already considered like deluxe editions
I really need to get those.
@@NearMintCondition Yeah, I recommend them! I just have the first volume of Battle Tendency and I love it. The only things that could bother is maybe the change of names that are originally musical references, because copyright and all of that (usually they do this with Stands) and that starting from Diamond is Unbreakable the releases are not going to have the same design as the first 3 parts (JoJonium releases) so the inconsistency is going to be there, but the new design seems nice!
@@Luna-kb2qv I really hope that they make Jojoniums for the rest of Jojo and not just the first three parts
As a person who has never read manga on a piece of paper (only by computer) this looks REALLY clean and good, id love to have the chance to try it
You should really check it out.
I have mine preordered with RightStuf and definitely excited to get it because I have never read Berserk. I have only ever seen a bit of the original anime series but I know it is quite beloved so when I saw this edition was being released it seemed like a good way to jump in the story. Now let’s just hope Dark Horse commits to finish printing these because their record for completing book series is spotty. Eden Its An Endless World is a perfect example of my frustrations with Dark Horse.
With the popularity of this book, I'm sure they will see it all the way through. Shame about Eden and MDP, but there is still a chance we get those.
Near Mint Condition I agree I’m still hoping they eventually get finished.
I am so ready! This will be my first manga so I'm excited to let you know how I like it :) Thanks for the overview!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I really hope you enjoy it and yeah for sure let me know.
So how was it 😂
Essa edição tem que vir pro Brasil...
I really hope it comes your way!
Se for pela panini o preço será absurdo, ou a qualidade não será a altura desse.
When never gonna know how berserk is going to end another master peace left unfinished
I am heartbroken by this.
Why not do a video on all of your Berserk stuff?
I don't mind showcasing it. I' can do that.
@@NearMintCondition How many of the mangas do you own?
kytim89 quite a bit of the older stuff. :) not much of the newer.
This looks so good. Very happy I have it on pre order. I don't have a guts tattoo for no reason.
Oh shit! Do you have the Brand of Sacrifice or just Guts?
@@NearMintCondition it's golden age arc guts on my fore arm
