def berserk, aot even if 139 didn't happen was not better than berserk
also maybe u should not compare one is seinen and the other is shounen since in shounen characters tend to have very strong plot armor even in aot
berserk can be compared more with claymore in terms of themes and slashing

AoT for sure.

I started reading and watching Berserk and I thought I'd like it more than I did in the end.

I'm especially disgusting how the female characters are treated and the author is throwing in rape scenes just for the shock value. That's really putting me off more and more.



Also I like the AoT characters, or some of them, and world much more.

AoT had a crazy anime adaption and I was constantly engaged pre Marley. So I will give it the point in hype and action. Even if the manga art wasn't impressive. But peak Berserk smokes AoT easily in terms of writing. It's admittedly long ago since I've read it, but from what I remember it felt far more grounded. The characters had more layers and the dialogue was rich. In AoT the plot and characters often felt contrived like they were merely fanservice. Especially when Eren became an uber edgelord. Painfully juvenille, not adequate for a series as bleak and ambitious as AoT.

Comparing seinen with shounen is too much of a reach.

Look mate, there are some things you just don't do in life. And one of those things is comparing anything to match Berserk.

Look, I love Aot more than most, but there shouldn't even be a comparison though.

Berserk isn't exactly great when it comes to not having plot armor though. It does a great job of killing of characters in the Golden Age arc. However post that major "good guy" characters never die even though there are shit ton of dangerous fight scenes in the story.

I've never read Berserk so I can't say anything about it but AOT isn't really anything to write home about. It's easy to say that the last chapters ruined it but that's just not true, it was decent in the beginning with a somewhat original premise and serviceable characters but there were already noticeable cracks in the story going back as far as the inner government '""politics""" arc. It kinda redeemed itself with return to shiganshina but the basement reveal ruined what would have otherwise been a fairly compelling mystery, branching into the incredibly contrived world plot which showed that Isayama had no idea on how to write geopolitics, culminating in the retarded-ass paths and rushed garbage ending. So maybe Berserk?

If you will ask me what do I like more- Biryani or Pizza? I won't be able to answer it bc they are completely different food that tastes different and is cooked differently. So I can't say which one is better. That's the same case for AoT and Berserk. Both stories tackle multiple themes brilliantly. Both stories have brilliant Protagonists and Antagonists and both stories have their fair share of well-written side characters. It all comes down to preference.

Tho I am quite surprised watching all this variety of answers.

Guts is a bland edgy mc, the politics and worldbuilding of berserk are terribly written. The only good thing in berserk is the art.

Berserk is an extremely realistic story with real life elements,Aot is a great show indeed but it doesnt stand out that much to me,because of the weird ways they handle the "problems" in the show(Annie's crystallization, levi's fidget spinner mode etc.) And the story is too *DEEP* that in the 2nd and 3rd season most of the their was spent in foreshadowing amd explaining the big storyline,which is good now,that we already in 5 seasons but if u were to judge each season separately than it isnt THAT good.

Both decline in quality after certain events, so in terms of absoluteness, both are lacking. But compared at their respective peaks, Berserk is far better.

Berserk. Easily.

Attack On Titan isn't anything special at this point. It was. But at this point no. I still like Attack On Titan mind you but it's not special like Berserk is.

Plus lets not mention the overall MAL score compared to AOT.

bruhh Sorry madam but still her character was written way better than the queen of simp mikasa and other shitty and dumb females characters of aot and if you talking about the edgyness then your best show's main character is filled with edgyness and cringe at the last in the manga btw its totally okay if you like aot more but first look at your fav characters first bruhh

Okay then? I always ask myself if we have seen the same show and characters, but on the other hand, I really don't care about that.

You can act butthurt and attacking me as much as you want to, but that doesn't change how disgusting the amount of rape, especially graphic rape, and the treatment of female and also gay characters in Berserk is in my eyes.
Well okay, it's an 80s manga, but it doesn't hold up well today at all to me.

My answer would be neither
Because Steel Ball Run clears both of them

And yes, this even includes Golden Age Arc and Pre Chapter 139

Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli is easily better written than every character from both series.
Not to mention we have over well written Minor Antagonists like Ringo, Sandman. And BEYOND FICTION arcs like Sugar Mountain.

Why choose one, when you can enjoy both. I don't think there's any need to compare them, comparing them will only provoke endless heated arguments by fans of both side. I have respect for both Miura-sensei and Isayama-sensei (yeah, I can agree what happened in the final chapter was not good) but I really enjoyed all the plot twists and foreshadowing before the final arc. Both have a special place in my heart.

comparing aot to berserk is ridiculous in all mannerisms i think aot at first had something going with it but it all went to absolute shit at the 4th season, berserk has all the factors that make the story good and it's world is far more broad so it'd be like a longshot to compare them especially if you read berserk. world building in berserk is far better than aot they can't compare, characters are far better, story is 1,000,000 times better, mystery is 1000 times better. character development is 100x better i don't even think theres a need to mention that one because of Eren timeskip lol.

but this is just my solidified opinion that i believe to be a fact because of all the factors and aspects of berserk that heavily outweigh AOT in all regards personally it would be like aot walking on a tight rope and falling.

i think its also a gender thing i mean mangaka was totally focused on males at that time and he also inspired by some hollywood movies at that time specailly the hardcore slasher types and read many books regarding demons and their true nature.he just wanted to create a fucked up fantasy world and yes he did it. and those graphics scenes was neccesary for making it more real and beyond humanity. offcourse you are not gonna unserstand that bc you are current days morals always will gonna tell you that this thing is not right no matter if its a fictional or real you can't differtiate.but whatever who cares jusy stick with our morals bc its always a good thing atleast in my case

I don't think the two should be compared, however, here's my take.


AoT has some really smart writing, and I appreciate that. However, the climax fell flat and left a sour taste in my mouth, and the writing was nothing special after 123.

Berserk, I'm still too early to judge it properly, however, the writing is phenomenal. AoT is smart, but Berserk is on another level. It's not as smart as AoT but the character development and plot progression is on inhuman levels. Kentaro really poured it all into the series.

AoT relies more on shock factor. Berserk relies more on gradual progression. AoT relies a lot on foreshadowing whereas Berserk focuses on the build-up.


Personally, I'd favor Berserk.

Also the AoT fans who say AoT is better, you're entitled to your opinion, get rid of your bias and give Berserk a try.

It's your opinion so it's not wrong. However it's a terrible, garbage opinion. The themes and dialogue in Berserk are insanely good. AoT also has some good themes but it's dialogue is carried by occasional good quotes by some of the characters. Don't mind me, I love AoT, but Berserk beats it easy.

Complexity does not automatically make a story good, it's execution is very very important. Look at Naruto, simple plot at first but grows more and more complex, however the execution just doesn't keep up.

Also I don't know what kind of emotional capacity you have that you liked AoT's ending. I guess you're an EreMika shipper?

The themes, art, dialogue, and characters carry Berserk. AoT is carried by the Colossal Titan suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Berserk's execution is what makes the story good even tho it's simple. AoT's writing, foreshadowing and Levi being a Beyblade make it good.
