Berserk (or Beruseruku) has been in publication since 1989 and is still running to this day (though with frequent and long hiatuses). On the surface, Berserk is an intensely raw, gritty, and dark fantasy epic.Underneath, it is an introspective and considered character study about a solitary, morally grey man struggling with his demons and his past, in an ongoing journey across the world.
The point here is, Berserk is far above the mere term of epicness and I think a little patience (and 13 bucks every time a manga comes out =P ) is not too much a big price for it. So yeah, long live Miura ^.^. Patience is one thing, waiting decades for a proper end to the story is another.
Vinland Saga's first attempt at an adaptation was pretty much well-received and is already slated for more, given how it's still an ongoing manga. Vinland Saga's anime is also a lot more approachable than Berserk's mess of different animators, producers, and directors. DeVe.
