In Episode 19, after an extended life update, I discuss the passing of manga-ka Kentaro Miura and the way that cultural reactions show the range of ways that people respond to such news (in some ways better than others). With this event as a heuristic for contemporary culture, I posit a different way of viewing artists - as people first, separate from their work, and irreducible to the sum total of their creations - and speak about the power and impact of Miura's Berserk series.
