I went back to watch the original Cat's Eye. Its a fun time. Rui is my favorite. It makes me sad that her original actress died right as the girls reappeared in City Hunter and the Lupin movie. Toshio is cute in a sort of 'well hes a dumbass' way. Didn't start the reboot because I don't have Hulu....

But seriously.
The most fucked up thing about the eclipse was its duality. People want to say the eclipse was the worst thing ever, but they never go all the way with what that truly means. Manga/Anime has a very tried and true nasty habit of explaining exactly what is going on for the audience so there is no ambiguity, and the eclipse is no different. Slan herself provides the narration for the scene and explains exactly what is happening... "Love, Hate, Ultimate Pleasure, Ultimate Pain". These were the emotions being felt. Femto himself does not feel in the human sense, at best he was feeling hate. Meaning Casca was the one feeling those emotions. She was feeling love, and hate. She was feeling ultimate pleasure, and ultimate pain. People want to treat the scene as though it was black and white, but Berserk was never that simple. The true horror is that is was grey.

Casca loved Griffith, she worshipped him like a God, and she always wanted to be useful to him, and to be "his woman"... And in the end she got her wish, only - Femto was a Demon God, he did not love her back, and her only usefulness to him as a woman was being used as a living fleshlight in order to torment Guts (the man who Griffith loved more than her). That is some brutal shit. And it's way deeper and way more fucked up than the typical surface level interpretation of the eclipse... Casca hated being useful to Femto, but Casca loved being useful to Griffith, and in that moment she saw both.

In the heat of the eclipse she experienced the madness of a woman splitting in half, she was torn apart - and it broke her mind.

FAG

I find it difficult to believe Griffith could love anything or anyone other than himself though. We saw in the second duel that he didn't try to keep Guts around for his own safety or because the mission was ongoing- but because Griffith owned him. He was Griffith's slave, effectively. A thing he kept around and didn't want to change like some autistic child in a fit about a moved chair

I saw it as Guts being the first person Griffith encountered that he felt was his equal. Which is why he delegated more and more to him, only for Guts to eclipse him in things he thought he was superior in, and especially once his politicking blew up in his face.
 
Berserk is a bit difficult for me because I am not sure how to actually do it. Watched the anime with friends and it'd feel wrong to do the manga without them. What's a good way to actually experience the manga communally? I dislike doing it in the book club approach just because when I watch it with said friends we like to comment on events as they are happening.

I saw this as Guts feeling that as well. Betrayal is pain, and seeing his best friend do such terrible inhumane things just to ascend to godhood on top of being forced to watch his woman getting brutally fucked to orgasm (because I don't believe she actually fully climaxed with him) was the ultimate pain he hadn't felt before, and his father sold him as a sex slave. Guts essentially was emasculated even though he was fighting back.

Seriously, there's a reason no one's been able to top the Eclipse as the "Most Fucked Up Thing Possible" after all these years, and many have tried.

TheAlmightyLoli has multi hour long videos on it that you can put on as background noise. Despite him getting on his knees and sucking Gator's cock, his videos tend to be pretty neutral and that is especially so for the Berserk videos where he just recounts the story

At no point did Griffith consider Guts, nor anyone, his equal. Griffith’s entire breakdown hinged on realizing Guts and Casca had greater considerations than worshiping him as a higher being. The metaphor of the Eclipse was Griffith’s personality failings being made manifest.

So what you are saying is Griffith should have just stuck it in Guts' Bootyhole instead.
