Ugh (Berserk 12)

We've reached the end of the road folks. What an amazing anime trip it's been. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. While the podcast might be ending, this won't be the last you hear from us.Please enjoy our conversation after watching Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door, all while we reminisce about JeffJeff's Bizarre Adventure at large, and reflect back on nearly 3 years of anime recaps.

Note: we discuss a few story items that occur AFTER the 1997 anime series from 1:28:00 - 1:38:00But make sure to listen to the rest of the podcast after those potential manga spoilers!Well, here we are. The end of the line. At least as far as the Berserk anime is concerned. The gang recaps the final three episodes in a super-sized finale. You never forget your first experiencing of the eclipse.

Guts has returned to The Band of the Hawk and shares a very special moment with Casca. But the romantics don't last long as the two must lead a rescue mission to free Griffith from some pretty dire circumstances.

Corkus speaks more than he should, Guts says goodbye, and Godot the blacksmith admits how horny sparks make him.

Griffith, you dastardly man, you! This week we're unpacking the two-parter that sees Griffith and Guts' ultimate collusion play out, with enough twists and turns to make your head spin. It's a pivotal moment in the storyline, so tune in as the gang unpacks it all.

Undefeated in 100 years, the fortress of Doldrey sits as the final boss for the Band of the Hawk. Let's see if Guts can take some time away from playing dice with the boys in order to take on the slimy Governor's army.

Casca and Guts have reached a new level of friendship after taking down Adon Coborlwitz's 100-man army. Plus, Judeau's stock starts to rise, thanks to his magic healing fairy dust that he's been holding on to for god knows how long.

This week Guts and Casca are forced to spend time together in a tree hole where we learn how she came to join Griffith's army. Sometimes it takes falling off a cliff together in order to really bond with a person.

A stray arrow? A poison-tipped stray arrow? You know, to maybe kill Griffith? This week we unpack the assassination attempt on our fearless leader, who, let's be honest — is quickly becoming an annoying thorn in everyone's side. But after the slowest fall into shallow water anyone has ever done, we'll talk about Batman Guts and his sneaky mission that goes terribly awry.

The "will they, won't they?" tension between Guts and Griffith continues to mount as the Band of the Hawk faces growing conflict within the kingdom. Griffith has been attracting the wrong kind of attention and evil plans are starting to crystalize. Stray poison arrows and all that.
