<p>Here read the part about Deanimation cut out. Another one of the Top Manga (and Anime) which uses this is Full Metal Alchemist. The purpose is the same for i.e. Comic relief especially with the Elric Brothers.</p>

<p>In some chapters or even as cover art in berserk puck is drawn fully with detail as shown here:

<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/dqcB1.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/dqcB1.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>But in several chapters he is drawn like this:</p>

<p>Is there a reason for neglecting detail? I noticed that when he comes in as comic relief he seems to miss alot of detail like so. But is there some sort of artistic reason behind this choice that I am not aware of? </p>
