People over hyping and praising this manga as if it was written by God himself, is honestly so disgusting and delusional.
Guts is the biggest Mary Sue i ever had to bear reading. Although i noticed people called him 'badass'. Understandable. But that was what it cut it for me. I don't like 'badass' characters in the first place, because you know why?
Together with 'badassary' comes big, inflated, tumorous egos, and cringeworthy one liners.
There were absolutely no stakes when characters were getting raped/attacked by big ugly evil monsters, because Guts would ALWAYS come and save them from baddies. No matter how hurt, or crushed he would be.
Sure he lost an arm and an eye, but did it cripple him? No. He got a cool mechanic arm he could fire arrows and god knows what else, out of. The eye? No biggie. Still can see with the other. It happened only because the author wanted to further showcase just how badass and cool Guts was.
Onto the next point:
As many people said, the females in this manga only existed to be rape-bait. Nothing more, nothing else.
The author excessively forced nudity into this story when it was unnecessary.
You would see many fat ugly men, without penises and only beautiful women with their perky tits, but i guess that's every seinen manga.
At least Griffith was pleasant to look at.
Scull Knight (?) would always deus ex machina his way into the plot, so that readers wouldn't start complaining about Guts always saving the day.
So, how do i wrap this up? Don't know how, bye.
p.s. this review is all over the place.
