Idea of Evil: The Golden Age - Part III

The Superculture Review

Gareth and Reid cover chapters 23-69, from "The Battle for Doldrey" through to "The Immortal Once Again," in volumes 7 to 11 of Berserk. In this episode, the Band of the Hawk falls apart, leading us into a discussion of the changing dimensions of Guts, Griffith, and Caska's relationship, with all the commentary on friendship, sexuality, and power that comes along with it. There are also lots of eerie moments as the Eclipse draws near and, par for the course at this point, plenty of terrible scenes to discuss.

Next time: the Golden Age comes to a close across chapters 70-94, from "Requiem of the Wind" through to "He Who Hunts Dragons," in volumes 12 to 14.

We've also created a PayPal link if you're enjoying the show and would like to help us recoup our costs and allow Superculture to continue more collaborative projects like this one.
