I'm finally fully caught up and can check in on this part of the forums without spoiling myself! I am feeling so excited for the new episode this weekend (got my pre-order all set up and looking forward to translation) and have been so struck with so many emotions through this last volume. Casca's return was handled so, so excellently. Probably the single high-water mark of a series that is absolutely full of them. Really feel like Miura's in his prime and can't understand how people in other parts of the Internet can say with a straight face that this series ever "dropped off." Looking forward to staying with Griffith for awhile if that's the route Miura takes. I find his episodes to be incredibly interesting, and I'd like this sequence to be fleshed out a bit so that we can get a nice, long chunk of Guts-Casca interactions when Miura's ready to share them with us. Gotta rest and reflect a lot more (as well as get on those Skullcast episodes I've been so pumped to check out!) before I join in theorizing, but wow. What a series.
