Sill feeling blue about all this.
Miura was a legend and Berserk’s storyline was among the best of its medium.
It really begs the question what happens to Berserk now as a property. I see people saying that hopefully Miura might’ve left notes for his assistants or an anime studio might attempt to pick up where he left off, but there’s always the risk that someone won’t get the message that Miura was trying to tell and deliver something that’s sub-par or just isn’t as good. Is it better to have no ending at all than one that is totally hollow and misses the point? Berserk might not just feel like the same story at all without Miura behind the pen.
It’s the next best thing.
I can’t really assume to know Miura’s relationship with his assistants, but his ailing health has been known for a while and it’s likely they’ve prepared for something like this to happen.
If Berserk continues, there’s always going to be that lingering impression of how Miura might’ve done it differently (my chief concern is the characters intricacies: It’s one thing to know these characters, but it’s another to understand them): It’s awfully big boots to fill in, after all. But I think he would’ve wanted Berserk to have a proper ending, even it meant he wouldn’t live to see it happen..
