I'm glad I read through this. I've never read Vagabond and after seeing all the praise here I did a little research and it sounds like something I will love. I'm going to pick up a couple of volumes straight away.
berserk dude is gonna write berserk until he dies. moving at the pace of a glacier doesn't help win over anyone. i guess it's a nice surprise every couple years to check on how many chapters he's wrote but it doesn't really matter anymore.
i wonder what his dayjob is. or how much percentage he gets from sales of berserk.
The Akira 35th Anniversary box set arrived the other day.... it's very nicely done, worth the money. And so it begins, this epic should keep me going for a while. Great to finally read it unflipped, I only ever read the serialisation in Manga Mania back in the '90s before.
you wont be disappointed, mate. if you like the lone wolf and cub movies or ninja scroll, then vagabond would be right up your alley. it's one of the best manga's i've ever read and one of the best depictions of a samurai i've ever seen.
you could also tell street fighter took a lot from the same source material in terms of ryu's and akuma's character.
The only manga that ever kept my attention was battle angel alita. Really loved it years ago.
Speaking of Vagabond, I've had my eye on that one as well. Blade of the Immortal has also piqued my interest, as well as Lone Wolf and Cub. Just wondering which one of these three samurai manga would you guys recommend if you only were going to start one of them?
Nausicaa is definitely worth your time, it is excellent, with plenty of mature/adult themes running throughout it's course (war, environmentalism, greed, power, etc.). The amount of creativity and detail that went into the world of Nausicaa is on a truly epic scale and in my opinion is one of the better examples in the medium (hard to go wrong with Miyazaki). Akira is another manga you might enjoy and deserves it's status as a classic, great art, world, and characters. Domu, by the same creator as Akira, is also great, it is a much shorter read than the aforementioned two, but is highly enjoyable and it might help you figure out if you would enjoy Katsuhiro Otomo's longer work.

The underlying themes are quite adult, even though the stories are set in a fantasy universe. This reminds me of someone I talked with on a Warhammer forum about John Blanche's art. His argument was that the aforementioned was a bad artist because "The anatomy was all off and shit"
You sound like a robot.
Still reading One Punch, My Hero Academia (Yusuke Murata is one of my favorite artists), and that's about it. The wait for Berserk is frustrating as it never lasts long enough to really tie you over to the next chapter/volume...
Just got the 12th volume of Sailor Moon.The manga feels like it goes by quicker than the original anime
I can not think of a single instance where this isn't true of a manga and its anime adaptation.
