Now idrc about how high something is in ratings but with how people r complaining about the 1 and 2 spots for anime i decided to check out the manga ratings and saw how big the gap was between 1 and 2 for manga. Now ive never read berserk but i have watched it and i do plan on reading it since its part of my fav genre of anything but if you had to say 1 thing that has even the slightest chance to get a higher rating then it wat would it be? For me id personally say rezero has a little bit of a chance like if more people were to read the wn itd probably go up mainly cause its only halfway done and its already really good.(thisll also help me decide wat to read after berserk)

One Piece might if it ends strong and Berserk ends weak.

P.S. ReZero sucks mega dicks for me, so I god hope no.

Berserk has been getting weaker in the recent chapters. One piece might do it but I dont want it to. I hope SBR will have the #1 spot one day, it deserves it. Monster as well. Wouldn't be suprised it some light novels top the manga one day.

God I hope not.

I have only read one volume of berserk so far and cant speak for its quality.

I dont want a FMA vs anyone who goes to #1 type situation in the manga lists, where it lowers everything to a false rating.

I haven't read one piece so I can't speak for it however in the case of berserk and I'm probably going to get grilled for this by berserk fans; I can see the massive drop in quality in terms of the story its apparent Miura doesn't know where to go with it he's flip flopping thus I have a hunch that despite him purposely taking forever for the inevitable in order to save it somehow, its still going to end lacklustre therefore putting it at second or perhaps even drop in rating. It'll solely be up there because of the amount of die hard fans its accumulated over the years (and the initial masterful storytelling). Still I hope this guy gets off of idolmasters and proves me wrong.

Side note, Re Zero's trash ( in my opinion) Its blasphemous to mention it in the same sentence as Berserk.

Considering that it's still consistently publishing, has a really high rating already, always getting better and growing in terms of rating, one piece probably has the best shot.

No, Berserk has been at first since 2007 and it's only been increasing ever since. 9.35 is the highest its been. Unless One Piece keeps rising and gets a massive score boost once it finishes (considering people would need to read 200 chapters for their score to count at this point), then maybe. I still don't see it happening though.

Many people on forums say Berserk is worse but this is definitely a vocal minority considering that the score is still high and increasing. Most people love the story and I don't think Miura will deliver a bad ending since he is working on the story at his own pace. Berserk is also very popular so it won't be an easy target for haters.

haha it looks like you have two people here dunking on rezero so I'm just here to show my support for that series. Rezero will probably never surpass Berserk though. Despite that, you can still read both series and decide which you enjoy more. Personally, rezero hits the mark for me just a bit more than berserk, but that's just what I like.

yeah i havent actually read those but i have heard there all really good so i do think itd be pretty cool since i actually do plan on reading one piece and ive watched monster so i already know how good that is but honestly i dont think monster or sbr will make it mainly only because there both already done and relatively old but honestly anything could happen.

Yeah I've been hearing alot about the quality drop and that the author wants to end the series already or stuff along those lines but hopefully he doesnt end it abruptly or just stop it altogether cause i still plan on reading it and personally the endings of things has a really big effect for me and i dont like watching or reading things ik wont continue. Also personally for me i mainly like rezero cause it basically has everything i like which is y i also want to read berserk cause it also has all the things i look for in anything(dark souls is my favorite series so i think that explains wat i generally look for in anything).

IDK about him wanting to end it.. Its the opposite with him he's taking forever because he wants it to live on. Personally I never read series which are on going or have a bad track record in terms of hiatus but I got tricked into reading Berserk and so ice been stuck. In any case, fair enough if you like Re Zero that's you and a side note did you know dark souls was inspired and based off of Berserk

I figured out like halfway through dark souls 3 that dark souls was pretty heavily inspired by berserk and when looking for the comparisons i noticed some of my favorite bosses were inspired by berserk which made me watch the 1990s version which was really good and basically made me want to read berserk but i couldnt find the time but im definitely starting it soon. Definitely props to berserk and the author for inspiring my fav series

If you plan to read one piece plssss give it a shot until arlong park ends and decide if ypu would continue it because lot of people dropped one piece because the start was just pretty fine and don't worry it just keep getting better......

Weaker? How? All i see is a slow build up and probably 1st time ever in the series where everybody just kinda stops suffering for a short period of time. It's not the chapters that are bad but the shitty release schedule. I heard people were talking shit about Berserk during the boat arc too since it took Miurander 10 fucking years to finally arrive at the destination point. Meanwhile i find boat arc to be one of my fav arcs. The difference it i read it in 2 days and people were slowly digesting it by all years probly being mad about the "filler."
Yes, I'm mad about the filler how did you know. I don't want fucking breathers when you release 2 chapters a year. That is just lazy writing at its finest and shouldn't be defended.

I'm not even going to defend the schedule. It's shit. I'd rather have drop in drawings quality and monthly chapters than the shit that is currently going on. At this rate it's going to take at least another 30 years untill Berserk is finally finished.
Yeah thats true. The shitty schedule is the reason I actually hate Berserk now.

One piece, if it gets the "one piece" ending, don't see oda messing it up.
There was another which I would have said a few months before.

SBR does have a chance, it has ended so its score isn't gonna fluctuate much now. If berserk keeps putting out these kind of filler chaps for too long, SBR might occasionally rise up to 1, or perma if berserk fucks up.

Difficult to see a Light novel taking 1st. Monogatari is at 11th

Surpassing Berserk , it's very unlikely.They have a good lead and barely if never goes down right? This means you need to surpass Berserk with your own appeal , it's just too hard

Even though i really like rezero, i doubt re zero will never reach 1st place.
The most considering to be 1st stop is the story who still ongoing, like one piece, grand blue, vinland saga, or even kaguya.
But whos know, maybe bots can answer that.
YES

One piece score is increasing steadily over the past months and it won't be ending for at least 5 years, so if the quality keeps improving then it might come real close. It might even surpass berserk if oda does the ending right.

What's your thesis? That if an author dies before a work is completed, that work is inherently the best of all time and nothing could ever surpass it?

Yes, if it's Berserk, not even Araki-sensei or Togashi-sensei would be able to surpass Miura-sensei's masterpiece.

There will always be great series out there. And people will have their own preferences, obviously. But it impossible to describe how much of an impact Berserk has had.

The strongest contender is One Piece, the score is steadily growing right now and it still got 5++ years ahead, if Oda continues to deliver the current quality of OP itll most likely end up passing Berserk

I wonder what do you mean by 'pass' berserk... based on what? Can only be MAL rating or overall art quality(debatable) I assume, which is certainly not the best way to rate series.

Well, authors death helped prevent it from inevitably dropping down to 7/10 or so by the actual end of it...

If we speak seriously though - berserk as it currently stands shouldn't even be in top 100... maybe not even top 500 but that's a bit too much for current moment likely... not enough of decent series as it stands... but as time goes it will certainly drop below my personal overall top 500...

People were expecting too much from it and it's kind of sad that we won't ever be able to confirm that it has been shit all along.. oh well...
If we take last arc we had outside of context that it's berserk manga - it's literally a generic almost shonen type seinen with a quality of 5/10 or so...

Not the best but has potential to be top 3-2 in OP, even top 1 depending on the rest of the arc
