If the Berserk manga is so good and popular, how come it doesn't have a double plus good anime, like Kimetsu does?

the mangaka is dead, so it's hard to milk the cow further.

No one has truly tried yet, every unadaptable manga or LN was unadaptable until someone did it.

The Berserk manga isn’t good. It’s amazing 13 volumes followed by 30 volumes of meandering bullshit nobody really cares about. The great part has already been adapted twice, the rest is “unadaptable” because it’s boring and pointless.

It's made for a very small niche; the investment to replicate Miura's art would be immense—look at what happened with the Junji Ito anime—and, most importantly, there's very little margin for merchandise.

It's extremely common to see teenagers carrying Kimetsu plushies, keychains, or clothing. Can you imagine a doctor in his office wearing a tie where you can see Cazca being raped while he talks to a pregnant patient?

Anime are huge commercials, the money is in the merchandise, which is why Vampire Hunter D movies were considered a failure. They are artistically beautiful, but they didn't sell enough DVDs nor did they significantly increase sales of the novels.

The third best selling manga of all time is Golgo 13
How does that work?

Golden Age is only good because you already know it will end tragically. If you read it without knowing that Griffith would eventually become a godhand member, it would be far worse. This plot hook from the Black Swordsman Arc hard carries the Golden Age Arc.

This is falsely said about a lot of series that are super popular in the west but Japan cares considerably less about Berserk

I hate Kimetsu no Yaiba so much. It literally ruined everything.
>the highest scoring anime movie used to be one of the top 5 anime movies ever made
>then KnY arrived and ruined it

>battleshonenslop used to be treated as cancer on old /a/
>then KnY arrived and ruined it by bringing in tourists and validating their shit tastes

>nobody ever seriously commercial success of franchise slop as a positive thing (imagine if someone did this and bragged that kids are wearing Naruto)
>then KnY arrived and ruined it

Am I a filthy casual for Berserk being my favorite manga? Yes it went to shit with the later chapters but it was one of the first ones I binged through.

Adapted from the moment the story stopped being good, no wonder it looks like absolute ass. Matches post-lost children well.

It does, the 2016 version is one of the best animes there is. Now, the casual retard might be confused by this, but it's really simple: Animes mostly suck, but they can have absolutely marvelous music, and berserk has some of the best there is, hence it's easily in the top 10 of all time.

The only good adaptation is the 97 anime, which is amazing for what it is. It did more with less. Every direction decision was perfectly tuned. It had an extremely low budget and 2 cours to tell the story up to the eclipse, and it did that as perfectly as it possibly could have. Even if you don't consider its limitations, it's still just a really good anime.
