I’ve personally never watched or read any of it, and I doubt I will after hearing that SA is pretty much an essential part of the work’s story. However, hearing how much of an influence it’s been to FromSoft, I wonder what the community thinks about Berserk.
I suppose it didn’t, as I have neither read nor watched it. Unless you count the fact that it was a big influence on FromSoft’s work and I like how that turned out
I guess it’s not uncommon for artists to take influences from work that a fan might not enjoy, though. I don’t particularly care for the Beatles’ music, but some of the bands I do really love are often barely removed from being a “what if the Beatles were around in x decade” cover group
