Favorite arc
| Was wondering what people's thoughts are. |
| Everything before Schierke is good. |
 |
| Golden Age. Everything after that didn't happen for me. |
 |
| Golden Age is a masterpiece. But Lost Children is a better sweet story that I like the most. |
| How I love a game |
| I really liked only the first arch. All subsequent ones got worse and worse for me, including Golden Age (still good for me though). And I hate the current RPG-party circus with sorceresses, monkeys and comedy fairies. |

| It's gonna be really hard to find a best arc poll where the Golden Age doesn't win considering it's what actually made Berserk the story it is, it conveys the most important plot lines and shaped the narrative and motivations of the protagonist. Conviction was my second favorite arc when i was reading it through the first time although i gotta admit "Lost Children" has aged quite well on me. Falcon of the Millennium empire is basically universally considered as the most boring arc. The current arc is shaping to be my favorite one from a long long time considering how important to the story is gonna be the and also because Miura's artwork have evolved through the years and is a delight for the eyes. |
| I'd be surprised if anybody here picks anything other than Golden Age. Unless if we're talking strictly the artistic appeal. The Idolmaster, however, has put out some beautiful panels in the newer arcs. |
| Have to say Golden Age. Partly because of the 1997 anime that got me into Berserk. I love Casca, and I love seeing the character development of her and Guts, and how their relationship changes. |
| I like the one where he went inside a whale. Tell me when this series is over so I can read it again. I remember following it 10 years ago. |

| Mal is easily the most stupid site for discussing Berserk and this poll and the replies prove it. First of all Lost Children is not an arc, its officially a part of the Conviction Arc. Its also only 2 volumes long. And second of all a small reflection on the Berserk community outside of the smaller fanbase that actually tries to understand the world and story post GA knows how much the world and characters expand, especially in the Millenium Falcon Arc. The highest point of the manga in terms of writing and Art has to be Volume 34, the battle against Shiva. Fantasia is too short to judge but has been promising thus far minus the Sea God stuff. |
| To be honest, 90% of the praise Berserk gets is thanks to the Golden Age. Everything after is good but not godlike. So yeah, the Golden Age is pretty much Berserk. Nowadays I can't see that clearly if Berserk is still the "best manga ever" as I used to think some years ago. At least we are out of the boat and Casca is herself again. |
| Black Swordsman because it has action and slashing and killing and monsters, and Guts is mysterious. Golden Age was cool, all the politics and wars, I liked it. What came next was so so, Schirke amd Farnese are kinda boring and I don't understand where Guts is heading. |

| I have always been a huge fan of Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc and then The Golden Age arc is a really close second. |
midascruzer said: Everything before Schierke is good. This, the series went downhill as soon she was introduced. It became very generic fantasy and lost all the appeal the first half had. OT: The best arc by far is the Golden Age arc, its one of the best written arcs in any manga, maybe the best even. Guts and Griffith were at their peak back then and incredibly compelling and the climax of the story was shocking and impactful. Conviction is still quite good but everything after that is just a boring dragged out mess. Miura himself has lost interest. |

Actually its not just MAL, most people everywhere agree the Golden Age arc is by far the best part of Berserk. The world expands a lot sure but in mostly generic ways. Like the unique part of Berserk were the apostles and God Hand, instead of fleshing that part out we get cheesy magic, witches and generic monsters. It basically turns into a high fantasy story which is just boring compared to the first half. Character wise its really not that good anymore either. Guts and Griffith have lost all their complexity and became one note (one a one note god, the other a one note badass who fucks up monsters). They barely get any meaningful character focus. Casca has returned now but was basically nothing for 20+ volumes. The most focus goes to Schierke, Isidro and Farnese who are just shit in comparison..especially the two former belong in some JRPG not Berserk |

| Golden age, super generic answer but it’s just too iconic, it’s cherished the way it is for a reason. Conviction however, is great too. |
 |
| Millenium Falcon is probably my favourite by now, followed by Golden Age and Conviction Arc (that are equally great). Tho I have to say that one of the most impressive and emotional parts of the manga so far has been in the latest chapters, Fantasia Arc, in the Corridor of Dreams. It's really fantastic how Berserk can be so marvelous in basically everything it tries to do. |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
| I haven’t finished yet but by a large margin it’s the golden age arc that got me hooked and made me fall in love with berserk. |
