Oh, I thought you were already well familiar with berserk, so I just spoke like from that point of view. And sorry for the late response, I've been having problems with my computer lately.

Which one is that? lol. Episode 5 so far was one of the best single episodes I've seen in a long time. The one where Vicious comes in, Spike gets thrown out the window, etc. The episode was flawless.

It should be no surprise that I'm not reading an on going manga heh. I really only make exceptions for things I'm already heavily invested in via the anime. I'd like to read Real, but I'm also glad I didn't start it a decade ago. I want to read Vagabond by the same mangaka more than most things. But wait I shall.
I love when Aoki suggests Ippo have a name like Freddy Ippo since Ozuma is Jason lol. This is the best of the early on fights. You can't help but feel bad for some of the opponents sometimes. Jason is a really good dude. The training for the fight was so good. Using the playground to train ducking shots. Some funny ass stuff in episode 13 as well. Poor Aoki lol. You'll be saying that a lot during this series. Takamura just whooping their ass. |

Really fun show and just...really depressing. D-Boy went through about all there is to go through. And there was no upside either, aside from saving the world. And his only escape from suffering in the end was super depressing too. They really laid it on him.
I watched the original series last year and Blade was nothing like it. This is how you do a remake, if you can even call it that lol. I actually kinda remember watching Teknoman on TV when I was a kid. Of course I had no idea it was a horrible dub back then heh. I hear they turned Levin into a man haha. I almost forgot TBII existed. But the more someone talks about how bad something is, the more curious I get *laughs*. Only 6 eps. I'll have to check it out soon. =P |

So it's like the best of both worlds. We wanted to know more about past members and we've always wanted more material from this arc. Sound good to me. It won't be the easiest to plop into the normal timeline, but something really cool you watch around this part of the series. Taking the information we get from it and treating it as canon since he's the one writing it. Is it just me or does the poster look way more like the original series?

I love YKK and Aria first animation series (dunno aria manga). How's Yotsuba&?
Escaflowne can bring me peace even with action scenes, so wonderful ^^ and It's mecha! |

They seriously weren't kidding when they said that heh. All the blood in that room being sucked up was crazy. It even surpassed the manga in that area with the dude getting shot in the head and then Faiten beheading that other guy.
Making you care about the opponents is where Ippo excels. Even in this case where it's just Ippo's first pro opponent. Oda would have ordinarily not been anyone important in most series. But here he got a whole episode to expand on his character before the fight even takes place. So... in fight... YOU GIVE A SHIT! =) Who Mashiba is based off of. "Will that be a watch for you after it's finished airing? " I would think so. |

slice of life manga is cool |

*Aoki answers the phone*
*Gets hung up on* "Ippo's doing porn?" Great ending to that episode with Miyata above the steps. I've always enjoyed the background art in that scene. The music is perfect there too. I can't say enough great things about Takamura. There are lots of different layers to his character. Till that point you thought everything came easy for him. But damn, that was painful to watch since that's seriously how it is for some boxers. A fucking tomato lol. Just showing his shadow from the other side of the room was excellent as he clutches the fridge and pounds away at the ground. It certainly left an impression on Ippo that he'd never forget. Mashiba. =) |

First of all, I am a big Berserk fan, although I need to reread the manga, been years since I read the first part of the manga, and I loved the TV series.
The two big faults of the movie for me is the lack of the amazing musical score that made the TV series so grandious, but that's is we are comparing with the TV series, which is quite impossible not to do. Susumu Hirasawa almost completely alone built up and gave the strenght needed to a lot of scenes on the fist series in my eyes, so Studios 4ºC could had gon and picked up the guy, they are both alternative artist and alternative Studios, so that would have teamed up nicely, although I can start to feel studios 4ºC slowly trying to get rid of their alternative vein and trying to dwelve into a more mainstream realm, which will take us into the second big fault. Now enough of comparisons with the former TV series, the second major fault, and that you already know whats coming, its the full fledged CGI animation. Although not horrible in any way, in my eyes, it's just doesn't come into good port, I really dislike the usage of this computer graphics in anime or in whatever animation I like to watch. In this case the animation didn't merged well with the CGI, the CGI used is still not that advanced to be able to do the change smoothly, so that difference makes fo the whole animated experience an awkward experience every time the CGI changes back to "usual" animation, which is computer done anyway. It's like watching a computer game, I don't play those games and I just want to watch a Berserk film, not a computer game. I don't have anything against games, I used to play a lot when I was younger, but the games were also different then, anyway, I just usually dislike and avoid CGI movies, all of them, only opening excuses to watch titles like this one and other rehashed classic titles. If it's entirely new, I will probably not watch it. But apart from the animation, back to comparisons, the directional choices in some scenes were not bad at all, some scenes had a better pacing that in the former adaptation and even acomplished to adapt them in a better way than in the TV series. Take this scene fo granted, not only it's better in the movie, but it's ending it's faithful in the movie too. I can't say I loved it, and probably the right rating for it should be a 7, but I still can't give Berserk anything lower than an 8, maybe with time will come down to it's rightfully rating place, but for now it's a shaken 8 in my list. I see that you're keeping up with the new Saint Seiya series, and with a surprisingly 9 above all, so I can take that you're really enjoying it. :) I ended dropping it. I'm just a huge fan of the original. :P I know I started watching it with the wrong mindset, and it ended being pretty much a contemporary shounen, but my deal is that I am not really into contemporary shounen series. :P |

There is really only one way to sum up Devilman. If you like Nagai... you'll like Devilman. If you don't... you won't lol. It's as simple as that. The HK subs will probably scare off most that are even considering it.
