I’m going to have to pick this up seeing the Rock translated it!
HAHAHAHA :)
1:42 Dwayne Johnson lol
The Rock does it all, baby!
I was thinking of Rock from the anime Black Lagoon. Watched it recently.
Because of you, I got into this series. Thank you for showing so many of us the way! I can't wait to read more and more. I'm in love with Guts.
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.
I'm reading this story for the first time in these beautiful Dark Horse deluxe editions. So far, the series is enthralling, this flashback, giving us Guts' formative experiences seems a new spin on the unlocking of potential story that I'm really enjoying. It'll be a long 5 weeks till this can be ordered.
And then the wait for volume 5 will make people want to purchase the single volumes. :)
@@NearMintCondition Only a few weeks to wait now :)
I’ve been loving your videos but just realized I’ve forgotten to like them. No better time than the present!
That artwork is just so beautiful! Thanks for video! I’ve been on the fence about getting this series but just seeing all of that amazing artwork completely won me over!
Thank you so much for watching and yeah, the art is gorgeous.
Saw your videos reviewing this series and it got me hooked. Love this story!
I am so glad you are enjoying it.
So excited for this to arrive. Only started this series when Book 1 was solicited and I've been hooked since. It's incredibly addictive reading! Got my preorder on Book 5 already too! lol
It'll be here before you know it.
@@NearMintCondition but I want it now! lol
On a serious note though; genuinely doing my best to avoid spoilers and not just going out to buy all the separate mangas to catch up with the story. I keep telling myself to enjoy the ride and not rush through this one. Just stick with the Dark Horse release schedule and it'll be something to look forward to every quarter of the year! lol
silentkid
I second that,doing the same now 🍻
Bromar... I am incredibly excited about this! I read the first one because of you and immediately bought the other two!
I'm so glad to hear you like it.
Awesome! Keep up the great work! Been collecting the series through these books. The wait is seriously a pain
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.
Beautiful books, Dark Horse really are at the top of their game when they release collected additions. Already have a space on the shelf waiting for my vol.4
YES!!!
Glad to see your hand is ok now) Thanks for review!
Thank you and it's healing. :)
Loving these deluxe editions. I had never read this story and your overview/first look of volume one got me to try it. I am so hooked into the series now it is difficult not to pick up the individual volumes.
That is the difficult part. Do you keep reading. :)
If anyone from Dark Horse is here collecting reaction or feedback, Please take Lone Wolf and Cub into similar oversized deluxe format. It should sell well as Berserk, if not better.
MrMfp12 With Hellsing coming and the properties they own, I require Gantz and Lone Wolf & Cub (both of which they own) to receive this treatment. Honestly, they deserve this treatment.
These deluxe editions are stunning and the major manga series Dark Horse owns need the treatment. I’m also entirely for Dark Horse to also get out there and start buying manga series that’ll work with this style of edition because I would love Vinland Saga in this style (I know it has Omnibuses already but this would look so much nicer and have Nordic/Viking symbols on the front, considering how Vinland and Berserk are always being compared in both art and story, it really should be up there alongside Kingdom.)
My God, I would love that!
i have messaged on their feedback to bring a deluxe hardcover edition of lone wolf and cub and new lone wolf and cub since it is going to get more traction now that hollywood is looking into do a remake of the movie, it would help if you guys did the same
Naw we need gantz hard cover
Great vid, thanks for all your contributions
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.
Started reading this series last year when I heard you compare Savage Sword of Conan to this in a video. (was my first Manga buy ever, too. Got the Lovecraft manga stuff and the Battle Angel Alita box set since then as well.) So yeah, definitely getting this one. Looking at the video, the art has come a long way since the beginning...
I'm so glad you are enjoying it.
Can't wait for this. Busy reading Vagabond Vizbig Editions, 4 down 8 to go. The art is beautiful, not as gory as Berserk.
Vagabond, I hope he comes out of hiatus and wraps it up.
I went ahead and ordered the four volumes. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the series, so it’ll be good to finally get into it.
It is the BEST manga ever!
I can't wait to pick this up, I just finished reading the 3rd deluxe edition today! I am absolutely loving Berserk so far, I'm so happy I made this my first manga.
I also love the Golden Age arc. I can't wait to see what happens to Griffith at the end of it and how the story will transition back to the present, I miss seeing Puck :3 .
I can guarantee, you get to end of volume 4. You will not want to stop. Puck will be back.
Awesome and helpful video👏.
I can't wait for this!! can't wait to get them all, I still have my original volumes and I honestly don't want to get rid of them.
Same.
I want volume 4 so bad, the waits are killing me!
Already preordered what you can for this series. It’s epic!
It is!!
I am highly looking forward to getting this book. It’s dope
Oh yeah!
I absolutely love the series, definitely one of my top manga. I didn’t catch it in the video but how’s the print quality? I was interesting in collecting these volumes but while reading some of the reviews, it mentioned that some of the images seemed a bit blurry, or the lines weren’t as crisp. In the video the lines look crisp but in person do they look sharp?
Damn they definitely need to do that for other mangas I love it !! Great review!!
Oh yeah they do.
I will have to pick these up, I love Berserk!
As do all with good taste. :)
I already pre ordered it (i just watch your videos because your reviews are sweet and to the point and i like seeing them before they release) but. I could very well be sent to Navy bootcamp early before it gets here so I'm pretty sad. But knowing it'll be at home waiting for me will only motivate me to get through it. Berserk has helped me through so much. Its so much more than just a manga. 10000% getting a berserk tattoo after basic training.
Oh man. So first of all. Thank you so mcuh for your service. It will be a sweet waiting for you at home gift. You get that tat and I want pics!
Near Mint Condition will do brotha!
yes vol 4 is out deluxe edition , l Will like big book than standar manga size , l don't know maybe because the inks is much lighting then old manga .
Good review thank you
Thanks for watching!
Yep, these shall be bought as soon as I finish the sandman omnibuses (omnibi?)
Also...those Sandmans are great.
Thank you Dark Horse for giving Berserk what it truly deserves...plz keep printing these editions in future, I already have 1,2,3 deluxe editions of berserk and I have read each of them in 1-3 days , I will buy every Deluxe Editions of this series as they come out ..
Thank you NMC for making videos like this ...really buddy thanks a lot for explaining to new readers ( like me ) how great Berserk is !
I would love if Helsing get these editions too...I have never read or watched that series but I've heard lot great things about it.
You have no idea how much your comment means to me. Thank you so much! Hellsing Deluxe editions are coming this summer:
www.amazon.com/Hellsing-Deluxe-1-Kohta-Hirano/dp/1506715532//?tag=nearmintcon-20
Thanks a lot for sharing the link ...the cover looks really nice !!
I'm on 4 volume on 2 days bro This is madness
Volume 4 is out GAAAAHHH!!!! those chapters are what I have been waiting for 😍
And you said around 13 books before it catches up? omg rip my wallet 🥺
It's an advance review, but the volme comes out this month.
Part of what makes Dark Horse one of the best publishers around (in addition to their original releases and reprint rights) is how crazily inexpensive their Deluxe and Library editions are. Their MSRP is ~/>40% less than what the Big Two charge for the equivalent format and pagecount, and arguably even higher production quality.
For example: Harrow County Library Edition vol 1. A 288 page, 8.3"x12.5" hardcover with thick, high quality paper, dust jacket, and ribbon bookmark, for $39.99. And their build quality has always seemed very good; I don't recall any scandals about glued binding, separation, splitting, low quality paper, etc., which have all plagued Image and DC at one time or another. It's like if Humanoids released their OHCs with a dust jacket or fabric-wrapped boards, and added ~60 pages to them, for the same price.
Love Dark Horse. One of my favorite American publishers right now along with Fantagraphics and Image.
I agree.
Manga collectors hate dark horse cause they take forever to reprint volumes(if ever), spine changes, poor quality omnibuses like Astro Boy and Gantz(cause they sucked at reprinting the singles!!). For the love of god please reprint Lone Wolf and Cub, Blade of The Immortal, and complete Eden: its an endless world. Fuck dark horse.
i got the first three my birthday is in February so I'm definitely getting volume 4 this month
Awesome!!
Imma start Collecting the Deluxe Editions! Hope my money won't run out ! 🤤😂
Thanks a lot man! You're Awesome!
You are awesome!
My body is not ready... *HELL YEAH!!!*
No one ever really is.
need to start reading berserk...
Volume 11 is my favourite volume. Band of the Hawk vs the Black Dog Knights... maaaaaaaaan. Seeing Guts struggle against Wyald and the savagery of it all.. it's so fucking cool. It really makes it easy to understand just how tough these apostles are and personally when I saw Guts on Wyalds back, stabbing away with a broken sword, I literally got goosebumps man. That shit was so intense.
You are so right, so much badass action in that one volume alone.
nice dude i sold all of my 40 single volumes to to put the money in collecting the hardbacks, i mentioned in 1 of my previous comments that i will keep it al sealed until they are up to date to the story then read it all over again :) that seem to be the best / most fun option for me XD & keep up the good work man
They are doing the whole thing... and coming in July!!! Hellsing Deluxe:

@@NearMintCondition yea I heared about it thanks I buy my books from bookdepository
I can't wait. I am reading Berserk for the first time with these books and I love it but the wait....
you can read the story online without waiting, and yet, collect the books when they come out ;)
i don't have a lot of money...
...but sometimes you have to invest into things that bring you joy. i am going to buy the first book.
i watched the 90s berserk anime last year and i was completely hooked. this anime was my gateway into the manga medium. berserk was the first manga i read. i was completely blown away. who could have known that comics could transmit such adult content? ...
thank you for your videos, without you, i probably wouldn't have spent the money.
have a great day.
Thank you so much for watching and I love the way you worded that!
Volume 13 will be the first one to be compiled in Deluxe Edition #5. First time readers, be prepared. 🙊
They about to find out. The true meaning of friendship ;)
@@NearMintCondition *laughing nervously* 😂
@Marcela Ferreira ___________ did everything thing wrong!
Hey Guys, Is it confirmed that there will be 13 deluxe volumes? I know there are 40 books so far...(hiatus...) and each deluxe has 3 books to one volume. 6 that can be ordered at the moment I’m just stressing in case print stops half way through the run, same feeling with the blade of the immortal deluxe.
@@daynightstudio4210 That's a projection for the number of tankōbon published until now. If the total number of compiled material exceeds the 3 in 1 projection, I believe Dark Horse will compile the last volume with an extra chapter like 4 in 1 or even divide the two latest volumes. They'll manage it.
I just got all four books in one go. It cost a bit, but it was worth it! Cant wait for the next book!
It is excellent.
@@NearMintCondition Best thing I ever could have bought. As a collector, it really brings an impact on the bookshelves. Beautiful looking books!
You getting those awesome bookends? I pre ordered as soon as I saw them!
I'm thinking about it. ;)
Nice Video!
I had always been tempted to get into Berserk,big fan of GRRmartins Ice & fire books (Game of Thrones tv series never did the books or characters any kind of justice) and being that my main love is ComicBooks via trade & Omni, Berserk seems perfectly fitted to my tastes, anyway on viewing your video review on Deluxe vol 4 last week I bit the bullet and ordered Deluxe vol 1,2, & 3! just received in post today,beautiful build to the books and looking forward to plunging head first into the first 3 volumes as a complete Berserk Nubee🤓👍🍻
I'm so glad you got them and I hope you enjoy them!
Near Mint Condition
Cheers man! 🍻
Btw Incase you didn’t know Dark Horse are releasing limited edition Berserk Dragon Slayer Sword tip and handle Bookends for displaying the Berserk Deluxe Editions..
Might wanna give them a shout out when you no doubt review vol 5 on its release 😎
It's been a long time since I read beserk due to hiatus. Time to save up and buy this sexy edition and start from the beginning.
This is THE edition to get.
@@NearMintCondition For sure. Can't wait to get it.
Have you done a video on your top ten favorite manga? If not please do one.
That is coming. Promise.
great vid thumbs up
Thank you 👍
I own 1-10 but I’m missing 4 and waiting on it being delivered to read past deluxe 3 the wait is killing me
what do you think will happen first, the hardcover's catching up to volume 40 or another volume getting released
I have often thought about this. I think we'll get another volume and two if we're lucky.
Is this your fav manga?
Nice video btw
Unrelated to Berserk, but what do you think of the ultimate universe (besides spidrrman -- which you just did a reading order of) -- I don't think I recall seeing ultimate X-Men or F4 in your collection?
and a question regarding berserk, do you believe the story is even going anywhere anymore? it seems like it's just going to go on forever at this point, there are no stakes.. no ending in sight. and it's gotten a bit silly. these deluxe volumes are great, tho.
Omar i do not know where to post this question / favor. So apologies for my question not being related to Berserk DLX 4 ( which i have already pre-ordered).
I really would like to have your opinion on Hellsing Deluxe Volume 1 coming in July 2020. Even better if you could make a video on it like this one. Berserk 4 is a 1st day buy for me but I am on the fence about Hellsing . Although it looks like Dark Horse wants to repeat the Berserk winning formula i am just not that crazy about Hellsing art. So please i would love to have your opinion on it.
No apologies needed, my friend. So Hellsing only lasted 10 volumes, I'm thinking there will be 3 deluxe hardcovers. I am very much looking forward to that one too. As soon as I get it, I'll make a video.
So because these are sown binding would you need to open it up the way you
done a video about opening omnibuses?
I would.
Near Mint Condition thanks!
i can't wait brooooooooooooooooooooooo
Its coming!
Unsure where to find this info. How often do these deluxe editions come out? Do you think they would finish the run?
They are going through the whole thing. So it looks like three a year.
Does this cover the eclipse?
Man honestly out of all of the things in Berserk the torture done to Griffith is the one thing that unsettles me. I can’t imagine a whole year in a torture dungeon and all the things done to him. Also the fact that they never show his face because it’s that ghastly. 😰 still absolutely love the arc
I can see that.
Sweet
Man I always thought if I took the sticker off I would be slapped. I thought maybe I would devalue it even though I haven’t sold a book ever
LOL not at all, they look slick without those stickers.
Is Volume 1 still in its first printing? Great videos BTW!
Yep, still in stock. :)
www.amazon.com/Berserk-Deluxe-1-Kentaro-Miura/dp/1506711987/?tag=nearmintcon-20
I only have money for one deluxe volume. Which would you recommend?
I want the one with the best artworks and that is the most interesting. People said that those are 4 and 5 since that's where the Eclipse happens.
They are right. 4 would be great
@@NearMintCondition Great, thank you!!
I finally got the 4 deluxe volumes so I can drop a shit ton of money now and so I can start buying them as they come out, also this is the first time buying manga in my life cause berserk is godlike
Berserk is life. Excited you are reading for the first time.
Near Mint Condition actually I’ve read it online since I wasn’t sure if I’d buy it anytime soon since I’m 17 and don’t have a steady income yet. Also not only is berserk my first time buying manga, but berserk was also the first manga I ever read, and berserk was also my first time ever watching anime through the 3 movies, other than Pokémon when I was young. Holy shit, I just realized right now how berserk was my first time in experiencing both anime and then manga, I am truly lucky
Dude I believe volume 5 is out now
Soon. :)
Great effort by darkside to bring The Rock to translate it
HAHAHA I wonder how often he hears that. :)
You say the release date is February 26th, and the Dark Horse website matches that, but Amazon says it's not releasing until March 12th. Anyone know what's going on there? Was the release date changed, or is there just a delay on it coming to Amazon for some reason?
I'm VERY eager to get my hands on this one, so it will be great if I can get it earlier than expected.
Glen Noctor Amazon is usually two weeks behind comic shops.
@@HansBoopie Ah, that makes sense. I must have never realised before because I don't often keep up with new releases. Thanks!
Buchu got you!
do you recommend the paperback or hardcover for someone new to the series
I love the oversized art in the the deluxe editions. But give the trades a shot since they are cheaper.
Near Mint Condition on amazon rn it would be cheaper to get the hardcover do you still recommend paperback?
Hellz no! Get the hardcover :)
Don’t know anything about Berserk, don’t read Manga but I love the leather cover and the quality of the book. Also why don’t they use color in Manga? It always seems to be black and white, which I don’t like. Just imagine how great those stories could look with some good bright colors.
In my case, when i first got into manga i rlly wanted them to be colored. But once i started reading more and more, i noticed that i actually enjoy them in B&W instead of them being colored.
Tho if you read jojo manga, you will appreciate the colored version more than the B&W one (at least it was for me).
Keyoff yeah I figured it was for faster production. I’m not a manga reader and I don’t plan on it anytime soon because I am new to reading comics and already have a lot of reading to catch up on. Maybe one day.
Lokman I’m don’t read manga so maybe you are right but still I think adding color sure would be nice. I understand the preference but how do you know if it looks better if you never seen it with color?
Maybe if your favorite manga books were colored you would actually enjoy them more but since you enjoy them already then you don’t think it’s a problem.
@@fishin4bass2002 i understand what you mean and your perspective.
As i mentioned before, i read jojo part 5 the B&W version and compared to the colored version, the latter was superior imo. And as i read Manhwa (korean manga) i rlly do enjoy them being colored and wouldnt think they would have been as good in B&W format.
But at the end i guess its just because the manga being in B&W is what makes it unique and compelling to the reader. Tho, there are some special colored chapters, which i find amazing, but at the end i feel like the manga is in its best format being in B&W.
Maybe its just a personal preference, or its because that is what makes it unique compared to other medium....? Or its just because i have consumed a good amount of it that i like it as it is :)
You get used to it. A lot of other series I've read are in black and white. Walking dead is black and white.
So is this the last berserk deluxe manga or are there more on the way??
Documented Horror more on the way. Three a year.
5:45 in the last words of the text the line :
"Miura supervised twenty five episodes of the 1997 anime television series and contributed to the 2004 Dreamcast video game. Sword Of the Berserk Gut's Rage."
It's a error the video game Sword Of the Berserk Gut's Rage was Release in 1999 not in 2004 (in 2004 it was the video game Berserk: Millennium Falcon Hen Seima Senki no Shō on PS2) Dark Horse must correct this if they can.
That's right 1999 was THE Berserk DC game.
@@NearMintCondition Exactly, one person must say this information to Dark Horse before they release the Deluxe Edition Volume 6 of Berserk (because like the volume 5 is in preparation is dead).
By when will you have deluxe volume 5?
Should be June.
would love to buy these editions, but by the time they are caught up to volume 40+ its going to take another 5 years or more......
Three to four a year. I say four more years.
so if i wanna catch up after watching berserk 1997 which one should i get ?
Volume 5
@@NearMintCondition thanks so volume 5 is what happens after ep 25 1997 berserk ? Sorry I just wanna make sure first manga ima read
Yeah 100%. Since they are three in ones. Volume 13 is the Eclipse.
Do they take out the hidden chapter?? Chapter 83
It’s in there.
4:31 Well, it sure is a better name than Alan Dracula.
FACT
I really want to buy these deluxe, but I a just concerned about them not finishing the story! I don't want to buy them and the story goes unfinished and abandoned.
Silver Knight that’s all up to Miura, who has stated that this is the final arc.
which volume has the golden age ark?
Starts in volume 2.
@@NearMintCondition and ends in what volume?
In deluxe edition volume 5.
It starts in 1 lol
Hey man haven’t you received Vol 5?
No sir. I haven’t heard from Dark Horse in a bit.
Near Mint Condition Oh damn. Isn’t it out tomorrow in comic shops?
People who are reading Berserk for the first time through these books, prepare yourself for the next volume.
They gonna know.
I can't read backwards its weird
Its not weird, I know several people that can't adjust their reading brains that way.
This comment will probably get buried but hopefully somebody can help me. I just finished the 1997 Berserk anime and holy shit after seeing that I now NEED to buy all of these Deluxe editions so I can experience the rest of the story. The "problem" is that I already have a huge list of omnibus and other books that I want to buy (a few of which are coming close to being OOP). So I just wanted to know how likely these books are to go OOP? I don't usually collect manga so I'm not sure if its similar to Marvel omnis where you need to be quick or if these are more evergreen type books that I can pick up at my leisure. If they are likely to go OOP sooner rather than later then I'll move them to the top of my list. Damn the FOMO in this hobby is real!
Dark Horse told me they plan to keep Berserk Deluxe Hardcovers in evergreen. Meaning they will stay in print.
@@NearMintCondition Thanks that's fantastic news! I'll definitely be picking these up but it's great to know there's no rush.
I might skip buying omnibus and focus on this one and Hellsing :D
My man!
Same. I have hardly any manga but berserk and hellsing are must haves I hope they give trigun the same treatment!
NANI
2:26 Why would you describe it as “gratuitous”? That is not the right word to describe that. Should’ve just said that you can’t show it on TH-cam.
Does anyone else think Wyald is the worst Berserk antagonist? I think I get it, he kinda examplifies pure nhilism. But he just doesn't get my interest like pre much every other Berserk antagonist. He's introduced out of the blue as well.
I wish we had to see more of him.
@@NearMintCondition yeah, with a lil more character building he could've been good, but as it is; he introduced, he's nhilism personified, he dies. Even the tinman at the counts arc had more build up and payoff than Wyald. Wyald is more a plot device than a character. That being said, his little arc is still enthralling and exciting, just less of a perfect masterpiece compared to every other minor arc in Berserk
it's a mess, they should have added the volume 13 to finish the arc with this book
They know how to get you to come back.
