A lesson without pain is meaningless. That’s because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart… A Fullmetal Heart.

With Kentaro Miura’s passing, it really got me thinking about how some people who claim to be DGM fans treat Hoshino. Now I’ve shared my thoughts on how I feel about those people but I’m going to try and express my feelings differently.

Miura was a once in a lifetime talent. People can try and recreate his art and stories but they’ll never be able to reach the hearts of people like he was able to. In 30+ year long publication, Berserk has gone on many hiatuses. A single arc took almost a decade to conclude. Even more so, the climax of the story was on its way, taking more than a couple years to be reached with limited chapters. Despite the wait, Berserk fans eagerly waited for every new chapter release. Memes were made about the hiatuses but everyone understood that they would wait as long as it took to see the end of the series.

It’s a mixed bag with the DGM fandom. I know a lot of us are patient and constantly supportive of Hoshino but in recent years, I’ve seen a lot of bitter and malicious posts and comments made about her. The most common complaint I’ve seen is that Hoshino spends more time buying stationary than working on DGM. Or there’s the complaint that she’s being lazy because even though the series releases on a quarterly basis now, some chapters are only 12 pages long.

People fail to understand how lucky we are as DGM fans to even get quarterly chapters. I had just gotten into the series when it was coming off it’s hiatus so I wouldn’t understand how older fans must have felt. I think a handful of the people that complain forget that Hoshino has carpal tunnel syndrome. My mom also has it and it’s truly a burden on the body. The fact that Hoshino is able to make consistent, beautiful art is amazing.

All I am asking is that we as a fandom be more patient and kinder to Hoshino. We never know when we’ll lose her.

Lady Eboshi was awesome. You know why? Because she looked at a town full of abused and exploited women and said “Fuck this shit”

And they said “Look lady these girls are just trying to earn a living”

But Lady Eboshi didn’t take that shit. She said “Well I’ll buy them and if they want they can come with me.”

“Lady you are hysterical you can’t afford…”

“Fuck you. I’m paying for all of it. And you know how? These ladies are going to work for me. I’m going to pay them to make iron for weapons and you are going to buy those weapons.”

LATER

“Your town is so big and succesful the Emperor wants it. You better sell out now because all of those natural resources are protected by the Gods so you might as well…”

“Fuck the Gods. Fuck the Emperor. Fuck your shit. It’s my hot town I’ll do what I want.”

She also took in men who’d been crippled and were cast out to be beggars and gave them work they could do and plenty of respect and care. Lady was feminist as fuck.

See above for why Lady Eboshi is one of the best characters ever. Technically, she’s the antagonist after you learn San’s story and how Eboshi is hurting the environment, but she’s not villified by the story or by any human characters in the town because of her humanitarian efforts. She’s an antagonist for San and Ashitaka at some points, but in all others, she’s nothing less of a hero. Even at the end, when her town is ruined, she just smiles and says “This time we’ll build a better town.” with the implication she’ll make a prosperous town for her people without harming the environment.

tl;dr - Lady Eboshi is the best

Princess Mononoke is such a great movie for not creating a single defined villain in it. Everything is more complicated than it seems and everyone is trying to protect SOMEONE. Seriously, this movie is a masterpiece of storytelling in that sense, on top of being one of my favorite (animated) films of all time.
