This was the only movie that I truly enjoyed of the three after the deception of the second (it was the worst of the three), CGI was improved (but i hate to see cgi characters near of the screen) a bit, but even with that they have cut many parts of the manga that I liked,
but wasn't as rushed as the previous.
I still missing hirasawa's tracks but sagisu did it very well with this.

Vast improvement from the previous ones and God damn it got me good.
Everything actually worked perfectly for the whole Eclipse scene and it was all fucking brutal just how I hoped it would be.
Honestly, what was the icing on the cake was Skull Knight actually being in it. It always saddened me that Skull Knight and Puck didn't even have cameos in the anime, but seeing this just made me shriek with joy.

Alright I just finished the 3rd movie of Berserk and the one I was the most pumped to watch.. Overall it's a 7/10 for a few reasons.

1) CGI - way too many close shots of CGI (less than in the other 2 but still really annoying and lazy)

- The movement looked weird here and there and it really threw me off from a good screening experience.

2) They left out quite a bit of content from the manga

- I know the movie would've been 4hours + if they used all the content but it's still annoying for manga readers.

3) The rape scene, as we discussed earlier, had Caska smiling. That was kind of disturbing yes, but not how it happened in the manga

- She was crying at first then she became emotionless; it pissed me off more than it disgusted me.
- Also, yeah I fucking hate NTR so bad; I have to say it was worst to watch animated.

4) *Not related to the movie's production* The subs I had were terrible

Well, that was pretty rustling. You'd think after two movies they'd be able to make the animation less choppy. Maybe I'm blinded by nostalgia vision, but I still think the anime did this whole arc much better. I'm gonna pick up the mange before the next movie comes out.

yup look at the other pages from this discussion we've talked about it.. In the manga she cries and begs Guts not to watch and then when her mind "breaks" she becomes emotionless and the same as a doll. They really screwed this scene up and it looked way too much like a NTR hentai for me.

Aha then it's good that others thought of the same thing too. I mean I read the manga long time ago and I don't remember the details much BUT I do recall that she did not look like she was enjoying it at all.

Everything was great except the rape scene...

Still overall, this was a great movie. Sure they sorta screwed up the rape scene which was very important. However, given that everything else was executed rather flawlessly, I will forgive the blunder.

slightly shaky 9/10. If we accept partial score, I would only give 8.5/10

I didn't intend or try to compare the movies. If you really want to know the reason I place the third one on the worst position, it is the execution of key scenes and fitting the mood of previous franchise products. Berserk III was a mood killer for me and if it wasn't for the brand itself, I would drop it somewhere near the middle of its duration.

8 or 9...since this is my fave part in the original I'll go with 9. Would have been 10 if they included Wyald. Would have been 8 if I didn't read the manga.

The weakest of the trilogy by a small margin, for me... which is odd when it was also the longest and most faithful (in terms of the eclipse). In the other films there were a few new music tracks that added excitement/feeling - making up for the lack of REAL Berserk music, bar the intro track - but here there was nothing except the 6th track here. During the eclipse there was either silence or unmemorable pieces hidden behind the dialogue. That's in total contrast to the TV series, which stuck the slaughter/rape into my brain firmly enough for me to recall parts of it when listening to these BEAUTIFUL tracks:


^ The rape.


^ Judeau's end (lacked the punch it did in the TV series, without the dialogue lamenting over never confessing to Casca).

There were other problems with the whole eclipse monster-fest outside of audio. For one, Guts' rage wasn't conveyed anywhere near as well, as someone else in this thread mentioned. In the TV series I FELT Guts' emotions as he went berserk... but not here. And removing the Gaston relief-despair moment, right before the Pippin bit, took away from the double-whammy.

Also: FUCK YOU FOR GOING AT A SLOW, STEADY PACE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE TRILOGY, IN THE LONGEST FILM, AND *NOT* INCLUDING WYLAD! Why even bother adapting what's already been adapted wonderfully if you're only going to provide a far more rushed version of events, minus what got skipped the first time around!?... Uggghhh. Two anime adaptations and both times the best fight in the series went bye-bye. Its exclusion made what could've been fluid and excitingly paced into the sorta faithful adaptation that would've worked well in the other movies... just not here.

Alsoalso: it's been debated time and time again whether Casca enjoyed the rape. Is nothing new. What's certain is she did kiss Griffth back in every version the moment when Guts' eye was pierced.

I'm glad someone brought that up. Part of what made the anime so brilliant was the absolutely amazing OST. Even the opening and ending music was great and I usually hate Engrish but it just had this weird melancholic but also fantastical feel to it that just suited Berserk sooo perfectly. Honestly these movies just make me wanna watch the anime over again. This project has been a train wreck but I will say the third movie was easily the best of the 3. It was kind of nice to see the Eclipse with new animation though and to see Skullknight. I'm inclined to murmur very quietly that these two things make the project somewhat 'worth it' even if it's been pissing me the fuck off all this time.

So basically, this is the only movie of the trilogy that I won't give a negative rating. There are two things that really bother me though, the eclipse is RED not BLUE and Casca doesn't smile during the rape. These people just don't get it...

The possibility of Griffth still being number one in Casca's heart and that she would choose him over Guts if given a chance or that she loves them both and she can't decide who she wants to end up with, would be my worst nightmare and a good enough reason to switch Casca from being one of my most favorite characters to one of my most hated ones of all times.

This 3rd movie was very good in my opinion, but i read so many comments saying it was bad and things like that, it was a bit rushed yes, but in the worst of the opinions i could give this movie an "Average".

Well, the beginning was pretty damn intense.

WB GUTS!

I'm not sure how much I agree with Casca's way of talking about Griffin. Oh I see Guts and Casca's relationship seems to have taken more of the romance side. "Baka" lol.

Oh I can tell Guts is PISSED OFF.
Watching a very weak Griffith in this movie sort of made me feel awkward tbh. Well, it's something related to his childhood most likely. I have no idea wtf those four demons/gods/devils or whatever are from the second half of the film. They sure look fugly though. Oh wait, they are the God Hand.

Nope, it's not a dream

Judeau ;.;

Great movie. This is probably my favorite of the trilogy. 8/10. And damn it Griffith, you made one hell of a choice there....

This was easily the best movie out of three movies. It was pretty spectacular to watch. Though adaptions doesn't end up perfect and most of the reasons were already mentioned in the posts prior to mine like Caska suddenly smiling while she gets raped by Femto (Griffith), lack of Wyalde and Guts declaration of War at the Angels. Though regardless of them, the movie was pretty good watch and definitely something I will watch again, the gruesome yet one fantastic story, the deaths and the feeling of Berserk is something I really love about this franchise and hopefully we'll still be a live if the manga ever ends, and I hope it will be one hell of an ending as well.

Seeing the Skull Knight again was great and the song after the credits was amazing to listen to as well, and I hope we'll see more of him and more of these Berserk movies for the next arcs as well. The movies aren't perfect adaption, but they are pretty decent adaptions. Definitely something I would recommend to people who have read the manga at least.

It's hard for me to say this movie is the best of the three, though it would be easy to do so. However, each movie is unique and in it's own way amazing.

What sets this one apart IMO, is how much more I guess brutal and raw this one was compared to the others. It was done really well and I really cant wait to see what is next.

A bit dragged out with all the artistic angles and mood flashbacks, but this was actually rather good. Still some crap cgi and the subpar two prequel movies makes it question if it is really worth watching. Well, I guess next up is reading the manga I've been holding off.

My god, that was fucking amazing. Is this the final movie to the trilogy? I hope not, that was WAY better than what I was expecting. Since I never bothered with the anime, I've been reading the manga from the beginning. It's so nice to see it animated so beautifully. It was so awesome to the point that I didn't even notice any flaws, 10/10. :)

Wow. I didn't know this was so good. The rage and suffering of Guts were portrayed so well, and he is mega badass. He kills everyone like if they were nothing.
Well, I think I am a little bias because I have always loved medieval films and series, but this was awesome and Guts is my new favorite character.
Time to read the manga. I hope the Berserk project continues; however, they need to improve the animation and make the movies at least 2 hours long.

As a fan of both the manga and the TV series, I'm extremely happy that this trilogy was made at all and I'm hoping it will prove successful enough to merit further releases of Berserk animation, be it film, OVA or Tv series.

When adapting material, the director/writers will always make choices in order to fit the budget and so I won't go into details of what I liked or didn't like. They did a fine job and this was an exhilarating experience. There is only one thing that really pissed me off and that was the rape scene. This is supposed to be the most brutal and excruciating experience in Casca's life, so much so that she completely loses her mind and has been that way for the past 15 years or so. And yet in this film they show unequivocal signs of her enjoying it at some level (the blush, the moaning). That I did not like. No human being can have any enjoyment at that kind of treatment, period. I think the production team got carried away when making that scene.

Now here's to hoping that we soon get news on a new Berserk project. I hope to see Farnese and Serpico animated (Isidro not so much I must confess!).

Due to the intense and less content they have to make this movie seems slightly better but the studio did the same shitty work as usual really. It's a sacrilege to animate Berserk with things that look like video game engines.
Anyway i'll give that they didn't pussyfolder around sex/rape scenes and violence but at some point i got the feeling that they where going overboard with the sex stuff. No am not a prude but it seemed like they gave so much attention and time to showing tits and sex that i was wondering if they wanted to gain points by it.
Also i thought the rape scene was kind of badly executed. They should have make Casca show a little more suffering instead of making her seem like she enjoys it.

Anyway it was a really bad nightmare with this three movies. I expected something awesome and i got a butchered story in the first two movies that left important characterization out and a lazy cheap studio that made movies with animation worse that the cheapest of anime and ed caricatures.
Hopefully it's over and Studio4 just burns to the ground and never gets close to Berserk again.

Out of the 3 eclipses I still prefer the anime version the most.

This one might have been extremely brutal and gruesome, but it lacked the depth the anime and manga versions had. I liked that they didn't show you everything in the anime version either (while still being quite gruesome) it allowed the audience to just imagine what was happening to all the characters and what not. Sometimes less is more you know?

Not a bad film, not a great film. The film series really didn't do a great job of making us care about the band of the hawk like the anime did. This makes the eclipse scene even less effective.

That being said, I enjoyed it a good bit still.

Damn that rape scene is all I can remember now thinking of this series it. Like wtf they made Casca seemed like she enjoyed it like my feelings on the whole series just seemed to get confused because Casca seemed to enjoy I kept thinking she still loves Griffith like that she doesn't even care if his ass is super demon god . The ntr was strong in this one man.
