The Guardians Of Desire - Part 3
ANOTHER weak old man gets kicked by Guts this chapter…and we’re here for it! This action-packed sub-chapter gets into the regenerative slug-meat of Guts’ battle with “The Count,” and we learn more about who that mystery girl at the window was from the previous chapter. Does her daddy make her happy, or saddy? There’s only one way to find out - listen up and enjoy! Intro violin theme by Ryan, and mixed by Steve. The theme was inspired by long-time Berserk composer, Susumu Hirasawa’s, ‘Sign 2.’ Check out Steve and Joey’s other podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/probing-ancient-aliens/id1321801647 https://open.spotify.com/show/3aREEXpe4DE37LsNkUxntW Check out Steve and Joey’s Patreon for that other podcast: https://www.patreon.com/probingancientaliens

The Guardians of Desire - Part 2
Guts and Puck are back to kick old disabled men and feel sorta bad for it…kinda. The evil Count (aka Slug-Man) is PISSED that Guts almost murdered his beloved Zondark, so with a fairytale kiss, Zondark is back with a vengeance and most of the chapter is a battle in Vargas’ finished basement at his mom’s house. There’s also some great foreshadowing of the themes that will permeate the entire series and keep us strugglers coming back for more. Enjoy! Intro violin theme by Ryan, and mixed by Steve. The theme was inspired by long-time Berserk composer, Susumu Hirasawa’s, ‘Sign 2.’ Check out Steve and Joey’s other podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/probing-ancient-aliens/id1321801647 https://open.spotify.com/show/3aREEXpe4DE37LsNkUxntW Check out Steve and Joey’s Patreon for that other podcast: https://www.patreon.com/probingancientaliens

The Guardians of Desire - Part 1
We dive into part one of the three part sub-arc: ‘The Guardians of Desire’ this week, where Guts and Puck go up against the Cartman-esque “Count,” who’s beheading fools left and right for being heretics! And as chapter 1 introduced the world and characters, and chapter 2 introduced the gravity of Guts’ daily existence, chapter 3 introduces the “macguffin” (of a sort) that will haunt the characters of Berserk forever after: the Behelit. Intro violin theme by Ryan, and mixed by Steve. The theme was inspired by long-time Berserk composer, Susumu Hirasawa’s, ‘Sign 2.’ Check out Steve and Joey’s other podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/probing-ancient-aliens/id1321801647 https://open.spotify.com/show/3aREEXpe4DE37LsNkUxntW Check out Steve and Joey’s Patreon for that other podcast: https://www.patreon.com/probingancientaliens

The Brand
We’re back to cover Berserk vol. 1, chapter 2: ‘The Brand,’ and it’s a lot more nuanced than we expected during our initial read!
