Revenge style plots are done like in Berserk, and those turn out to be legendary.
grim, dark scene described as text
Although it does have Griffth (one of the head apostles) raping Casca and it is very demonic, it has very archaic setting. You can question the rape but it allowed for Berserk to happen.
I do not want to come across as justifying it as fiction, and I do not think something like Berserk can or will be made again.
Also a warning, that scene is too grim and dark. If you have not watched it and cannot stomach it, please do not watch it.
However if women started making anime or movies that featured a lot of male rape I bet you’d see a sharp condemnation of the media by men as the concept and plot device now swivels to focus on them
There are too many chuds and incels/femcels out there. Acceptance is one hell of a thing, and closeted celibacy really allows to give shape to loser personalities. I know this so deeply because once upon a time I had incel like behaviour, and it was very, very horrible. I took my time and developed myself because I knew how wrong it was for everyone and myself.
Its alright, I have plenty scars, and it was not on you. I have battled a lot of depression and suicidal tendencies.
Even now I am fighting a demon, struggling with it. Skillet, Disturbed, Thousand Foot Krutch, Three Days Grace, Imagine Dragons and Five Finger Death Punch are my jam.
Berserk has really spoken to me so far because of Guts’ trauma… he and Casca mirror each other in that way, I feel, and it allows for exploration of themes dealing with trauma very seriously rather than merely as a plot motivater for Guts. He’s a big, strong, angry man but he also allows himself to cry and to remember. I agree that it goes too far sometimes, I just love Berserk and think it’s incredible how a manga from that period actually had the nerve to tackle CSA against a male. As a genderfucked AMAB person, in part caused by the abuse I endured as a child, it is absolutely liberating to see this embodiment of manliness struggle in a similar way and attempt to overcome the toxic aspects of his masculinity. His fight for revenge is not only for Casca, but for the reflection of himself.
The anime removing a lot of that aspect of Guts bothered me, although I still enjoy it. I have to go into it with the meta-context of Guts having undergone the same trauma as he does in the manga to get full appreciation out of it, though.
Apparently the assistants are continuing it (5 chapters so far) after Miura’s death, with Mori Kouji as the writer. He’s made some good stuff, some decent stuff, and one piece of garbage, so hopefully it’ll be a decent conclusion

I cannot write more, this is depressing.

Kill demons with Metal
Metal and rock. I also listen to deadmau5, the only correct way to do EDM.

I will try out that song. CS 1.6 and Source veterans will always be appreciated.
