Idea of Evil: Guardian Angels of Desire

Episode Summary

Reid and Gareth pick up where we left off last episode by discussing "Guardian Angels of Desire," from the end of Berserk's first volume through to the beginning of Vol. 3. This time, we talk about the first glimpses of Miura's Escher-indebted depiction of hellish alternate dimensions, are introduced to the God Hand and Berserk's wider fiction, deal with Sad Guts, and, of course, encounter more sweaty little creeps.
