About this Episode

Daily Release 4 of 4! SkullKast members Grail, Gobolatula, Walter and Aazealh recently flew to the northernmost island of Japan – Hokkaidō – to attend the first installment of the Great Berserk Exhibition taking place since Japan reopened its border to foreign tourists. We went to the big event four times over the course of a week, and recorded a podcast at the end of each day to document our thoughts and our overall traveling adventures. You can also check out our big posts on the exhibition, along with tons of images here: https://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?threads/sknets-great-berserk-exhibition-review.16369/

The Sound of Berserk (Free Minipodcast)

What should Berserk sound like? For much of the series, Susumu Hirasawa's music has dominated its adaptations. But in the past decade, we've seen a number of new approaches to the sound of Berserk. We dive into each of them, along with key selections and samples for the highlights (and lowlights) across the 27 year history of Berserk's music.

Episode 147: Hero (Vol 32-2)

Is Griffith hot? Better question: Are angels hot? We delve into this and so much more in our Volume 32 re-read finale. Our hot angel comes face to face with Ganishka, in an oft-referred-to scene that revealed much about the relationship of the God Hand and apostles. This portion of the series also effectively ends the Vritannis section and the Holy See Alliance's hopes of carving up Midland like a delicious duck. Everything fell right into Griffith's hot hot hands, in the end.
