Ask Yoshi Anything

[Nèro]

What about the Naruto author? Do you think he copied Akira at some point?

 

[Classic Adamas]

You're the protagonist in your own anime and manga. What is the title? What's it about? What's the story and the genre?

 

[Nèro]

Would you visit Canada?

 

[Yoshi]

I like Kishimoto too, and I never actually got the impression he copied Dragon Ball until the War Saga.

Guts, Berserk, a former mercenary who slays demons, and a man who is conflicted between revenge and protecting his loved ones, as well as an action, adventure, horror, supernatural, and a dark fantasy that overtime becomes a light fantasy.

Only for a specific reason now. I already visited Niagra Falls as a Teenager.

What do you rate every Berserk arc out of 10?

 

[Yoshi]

Black Swordsman: 8/10
Golden Age: 9/10
Conviction: 10/10
Millennium Falcon: 10/10
Fantasia: 7/10

Black Swordsman is just an introductory arc for a bigger story arc, so its rating is self-explanatory.

In retrospect, the Golden Age Arc is great, but also overrated, because Berserk is at its best when it's about demons, not politics. Conviction is a better Story Arc for Guts than the Golden Age is. I used to rate Millennium Falcon lower, but then I realized it's also Griffith's Story Arc, hence the title, and it's a better Story Arc for Griffith than the Golden Age was, as well. If I stop and think about it, the Golden Age was about both Guts and Griffith, and so is Berserk as a Manga. People occasionally make the mistake of assuming Berserk is only about Guts, but that's just not the case.

Finally, Fantasia is fine as a Story Arc, I feel like it gets too much criticism just because it can get boring sometimes... LOL.

 

[Nèro]

Have you played Wii?

 

[Yoshi]

Yes, although not near as much as when I was a teenager.

 

[Nèro]

Did you enjoy the Wii? What's your top 5 Nintendo systems?

 

[Classic Adamas]

Black Swordsman: 7/10
Golden Age: 9/10
Lost Children: 7/10
Conviction: 10/10
Millennium Falcon: 10/10
Sea God: 6/10
Fantasia: 8/10

Black Swordsman and Lost Children are just introductory Arcs for bigger Story Arcs, so their ratings are self explanatory.

In retrospect, the Golden Age Arc is great, but also overrated, because Berserk is at its best when it's about demons, not politics. Conviction is a better Story Arc for Guts than the Golden Age is. I used to rate Millennium Falcon lower, but then I realized it's also Griffith's Story Arc, hence the title, and it's a better Story Arc for Griffith than the Golden Age was, as well. If I stop and think about it, the Golden Age was about both Guts and Griffith, and so is Berserk as a Manga. People occasionally make the mistake of assuming Berserk is only about Guts, but that's just not the case.

Sea God is terrible by Berserk's storytelling, but not by Manga storytelling in general, considering Berserk is one of the best fictional works out there. Fantasia is fine as a Story Arc, I feel like it gets too much criticism just because it can get boring sometimes... LOL.

how can you do Black Swordsman so dirty?

[Yoshi]

Did you enjoy the Wii? What's your top 5 Nintendo systems?

1. Nintendo GameCube
2. Nintendo 64
3. Gameboy Advanced
4. Nintendo Wii
5. Nintendo DS

thoughts?

I honestly don't have that much to say about it, other than that it's a great read, but still inferior to Berserk.

 

[Nèro]

Are you a virgin?

 

[Yoshi]

No.

 

[Classic Adamas]

No.

With a woman?

 

[Nèro]

So you like dbzf?

 

[Yoshi]

With a woman?

Yes, unfortunately. But I want to save sex for a woman I'm in love with.

So you like dbzf?

I liked most of the members. I didn't like some of the staff, however.

 

[Nèro]

Have you tried Ritalin?

 

[Yoshi]

No. I've tried Adderall, however.
