It may not be my absolute favorite ever, but its up there and I highly respect it 7- A very good series, but not without its flaws. still top 20%. I really liked it. 6- better than average. Not one of the truly great series, but at least fairly good. 5. generic schlock, I really wouldn't bother. Either that or a vile anime with Godlike production value. 4.

Though I do want to point something out. You said that the fans of the show are like bronies and will attack anyone who doesn't worship it. Are you serious? I've never seen anyone do the sort of thing before (though I've never went to 4chan). That's pretty bad.
Also, you've said that many of the Japanese didn't like it. I've heard that many didn't even watch it or buy the DVD since it was during the time of the giant earthquake they've had over there. Rather surprising.
As far as the PS4 situation goes, there's a LOT of great games to be played - Persona 5, Nioh, Bloodborne, the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD remaster (they just came out with a remaster for XII as well), the list goes on and on. If you have PS Plus like I do, the free games you can get are pretty interesting. Last month, they had all 5 episodes of Life is Strange up for download. This month, it's Until Dawn.

I really need to update my own Berserk review.
Idk man, I haven't been getting any joy out of anime as of late. Outside of rewatching classics like Golden Boy and JoJo, I've been losing my patience for a LOT of the shit I see.
Given this though, I sure as hell don't support the Palestinians on the matter either. I believe everyone has the right to self-determination, but the whole situation in that part of the world is so fucked up to the point where both parties are guilty as sin. On the one hand, you have a Zionist agenda that's dedicated to perpetuating war after war for the sake of creating "Greater Israel" by using the USA as their hired muscle erstwhile perpetuating apartheid within their domain. On the other hand, you have a disenfranchised people that have become terrified or apathetic to the situation that they live in to the point where they turn a blind eye to extremists and terrorists who go to ridiculous lengths to target Israel erstwhile throwing countless innocent civilians under the bus.
Everyone involved with the Israeli government, Hamas, et al need to be captured, detained, and tried for war crimes in an international court.
btw are you a Monogatari fan ? I am reading the novels. never saw the anime tho
