@gabisuu I just spam watched the anime and read the manga in under a week, and I will say that in my opinion, the story goes way downhill after the farmland saga arc. This really doesn't even remotely resemble the same story as the first before they met Hild. I do like Thorfinn's character change into being an actual person now (hated him in the prologue), but there is too much comic relief and every new character addition is terrible. Even you have to admit the story quality has gone down at this point, no? At one point, I would say this story was teetering on a 9/10 for me (I have berserk at a 9/10, and I was considering this story to be on Berserk's level), but now I have this story at a 7/10, and it could honestly be a 6/10 by the time it ends.
