| liked it much more than the 1st movie; got me slightly excited for the 3rd one which looks kinda awesome still hate the CGI though |
| CGI felt a bit shaky, but I enjoyed it overall. I actually felt like they caught Griffith's emotions pretty well when he challenged him to a duel. He looked batshit serious. FUCKING GOT TO SEE PUCK! WOOH! |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Go Guts! Nice spear he's got there. Well, there's a lot of action so that's good. A bit too much actually. On the other hand, I liked the bonding between Guts and Casca. I knew Guts and Griffon's forces would prevail though. Nope, it's not because they're the protagonist but the fact that they got GUTS. (no pun intended) The dance was okay I guess. I think it might be Guts' first time! Lol. Casca also seems to be having fun as well and enjoying the moment. I think the climax of this movie would be the duel between Guts and Griffin. What I didn't expect though is for Griffin to get his ass handed down to him that easily. Shame. Anyways, the scenes with the rain of Griffin and the princess was awkward as hell. The Hawks needs Guts though -.- shame he left.. 6.5/10 for film. |
 |
| The movie was awesome wasn't boring at all.Also i think this is the only CGI i can watch .Also the sex scene was a bit awkward since he's seeing guts a guy while having sex with a girl. |
 |
| Based on the first one I was expecting a lot more plot, which seemed to go out the window. It was good, but did just seem to be entirely battles. Re: censoring - I saw this on UK TV and there was a lot of nudity (and non-graphic cunnilingus etc) throughout. |

| Same bad CG animation, but better than the first movie. At this point I'm not sure if Griffith really lost, or if everything is still going according to plan. Guess I'll find out in the next movie. |
  |
| need more sex imo..... good ep overall minus the CGI shit's about to get real next ep... |
 |
| I personally really enjoy the CGI. This movie was outstanding. It's got its issues but very visually pleasing and being followed along by friends who havent ever watched the show or read the manga. |
| Perfect movie the next one is going to be awesome i can feel it. |
  |
| Well I guess the version I watched was uncensored which is good, I was disappointed the Queen subplot was taken out but oh well. I wonder how much will be cut out of the final act. |

Sabinlerose said: I personally really enjoy the CGI. I agree. Personally it's the best usage of it I've seen to date, not talking about the previous movie mind you. LayedBack said: I find this terribly ironic =/Another butchered movie. The impression I get is that Studio 4C doesn't really give a fuck about Berserk and that's a shame. Honestly I would be probably be okay with it if they just fucked off with the CGI and actually animated the battle scenes like professionals. I already know the story anyways so one only needs to piece together the important events while watching. The real problem is they aren't even getting the damned battle scenes right. The one positive thing that might possibly come from these movies are a continuation of the story in to the Black Swordsman Arc. Unfortunately I have absolutely no faith in this pathetic studio to actually do justice to the rest of the story anyways, so I officially throw in the towel and say a big FUCK YOU STUDIO 4C for ruining perhaps the last chance to ever animate such an amazing story. Oh well, there's always the masterpiece that is the manga... *holds the volume of the eclipse in arms like a precious demon child* - they'll never take you away from me, never! Considering that the original season wasn't even 'animated' - only some still frame shots that even its manga betters. & the manga is bad for a variety of reasons. Whoever is responsible for removing all those excess scenes I applaud, they were substandard. Maybe the fact that I watched the original season & know the overall story blinds me to some faults of the omissions, but what I do know is this version has not made me cringe like a wretch. From where I stand, this is vastly superior. Studio 4C for the win. |

| it was a pretty badass movie i really want to see part 3 |
| The Battle for Doldrey was much better than the first film. On to the next one. |
| A lot of things were cut this time, but I guess I lucked out since I didn't read too far into the manga, nor did I watch these films directly from the television series. It gave me time to forget a few details, or even whole plot points. The cut things didn't impact me as much, so what I got was a turbulent ride from start to finish. I'll say this though: the plot really hates Casca. It does feel as if she's only included so the story doesn't become a sausage-fest, and I wouldn't have minded if she wasn't talked up to be the capable captain. Most of what happens to her isn't even her fault, so it's a shame that she's constantly getting shown up. It might be the nature of the story, or it might just be Berserk never being kind to its characters in general, but it's most apparent with her since she's one of the main characters. Still, it makes me wonder how I would feel if I had kept up with the manga. Perhaps I would have pointed out all the mistakes and liberties taken, and thus branded these movies as failures to capitalize on a well-established fan base. As it stands now, I'm detached enough to have enjoyed the audiovisual splendor that I just saw. I suppose I'm looking at these films as standalone entities, so as they are, I'm still enjoying them. |
| I didn't like this as much as the first movie. The issue of pacing was definitely apparent through the shift in scenes. There wasn't a strong enough feeling of tragedy or even relief. Guts leaving wasn't nearly as depressing as it was in the show. Too much of the underlying story was brushed aside for action and views of landscapes. |
| This movie was good, though the first movie definitely surpasses it. What I didn't like is how they cut out the scene where Zodd throws Guts a sword to help him during the battle of Doldrey. I was expecting that scene, kind of. I think the movies should be at least 2hours long, even Mobile Suit Gundam movies of the first series during the 1980's was that long and it turned out to be much better paced than the original series. Also I think people are complaining too much and trying to just find the bad things in the movie instead of looking at the more positive ones. The animation was perfect and the CGI didn't bother me at all. |

| Awesome movie, but again CGI moments ruins everything |
 |
| The movie was good enough for its content. Many scenes were left out like, the assassination of the queen, the attempt to poison Griffith and his murderous gaze at the minister, which was creepy yet awesome in the manga. Plus, the short fight between Griffith and Guts could be analyzed more, in terms of their strategy. However it was a 90 minutes movie so something had to go I guess, I cannot complain. I especially liked Guts fight with the battalion, his scenes with Casca and the sex scene between Griffith and Charlotte, which portrayed excellently Griffith's emotional state. |
| As someone that hasn't read the manga and also hasn't watched the original TV anime, I thought this was a VERY good movie. Action was great, animation was even better. Yes, this movie moved fast, but it wasn't hard to follow and it's very interesting. It definitely manages to hold my attention. Really looking forward to the third movie now. The preview was very disturbing. |
 |
| This is where Griffith became Darker ... When Guts whooped his Ass, he always thought he was stronger then him just because their first battle Griffith won .... |
 |
| This looked even more laggy than the first, I enjoyed it and all but since its a movie it was a huge rush to the end. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This movie made it pretty clear why CGI was used, it would be pretty much impossible to portray the scale of the battles, not to mention the HORSES. Did any of you ever try to animate a horse? Or dozens of them riding into battle? Not saying the CGI is good but at least try to understand what they were going for. That being said I don't really agree with using the CGI outside of the battles, like the king giving his speech and everything. In enjoyed it, the preview for the next movie looked epic (and crazy) |
| Well damn that sex scene is waaay more detailed in this than the anime. and wow i thought the king had normal daughter-complex but this nigga really wants dat pussy LauraBirdie said: This movie made it pretty clear why CGI was used, it would be pretty much impossible to portray the scale of the battles, not to mention the HORSES.

Wtf are you talkin about lmao they already animated battles and "HORSES" in the Original anime and it was 10x better |

Wtf are you talkin about lmao they already animated battles and "HORSES" in the Original anime and it was 10x better In case you've got your nostalgia glassed on, the horses hardly moved in de old anime. Look at episode 15 and 16 , there's only a handful of scenes in which the horses actually MOVE, and most of the time we either see only the riders or the horses legs. I absolutely LOVE 2D animation, but that does NOT look better than the cgi here |
| The gay undertones between Griffith and Guts was strong, especially when he needed to have "hate sex" with the girl because he was so distraught about him leaving and imagined Guts the entire time... So much angst... So many misunderstandings... Damn it! You both mean a lot to each other! I didn't think Griffith would lose his reason to live like that but I guess Guts meant more to him than I originally thought. If only he had known he left because he wanted to become his equal and be considered his friend. |
| Just started the Berserk franchise, and i thought the movie was great but you can really tell they omitted a lot of things especially when they defeated the Tudor. There seems to be a past between Tudor and Griffith, and it was largely glossed through. Can't wait to start on the manga after the 3rd movie. |
| Watching Guts annihilate 100 men is the best thing I've seen in quite a while. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| This movie was gold~ From the 100-man slaying to the Doldrey Siege, it managed to recreate the splendor I felt throughout the original and added in a bit of entertaining content like the dance scene and Farnesse, Serpico, Azan and Puck's cameos. Guts found out about the dreaded period lol They left out Zod's assist and Griffith's sex trade with the Governor but I really didn't mind it much. If only Guts didn't wander off... That's one graphic sex scene that I'll remember for ages to come. It'll be hard to eclipse over this one :o |
 |
| Well, well, well... what have we here? Same as before? Almost: - again, everything is reduced to the quintessential trio of heroes, removing several sub-intrigues (though they are kind of mentioned, leading sometimes to weird things: Griffith being seen as a menace but only once the target of an assasination), a useless flashback and a good deal of dialogues (and secondary characters actions, even Zodd whose blade gift wasn't relevant to the central story anyway), - triple little guest-starring (nice surprise), - a few scenes were really well directed, especially once all the slaughters were over (yes, I include the "relief" sex scene even if it used quite a simple way of telling) - still the same disjointed series of "acts" as before - but the movie closes in a better way than it opened (compared to the previous movie too), - even more 3DCGI scenes and some movements for them look very choppy, - they are now used for a lot of close-up shots (for no real reason, since the characters are still), - I probably forgot a few things. Enjoyment: 3/5 Score: 5.5+/10 |
| This second film is less beautiful than the first. Unfortunately, they have omitted different parts that should have been adapted and is really a pity. Moreover, they've changed some parts and that wasn't really good. |
 |
| I only came here to say that griffith has a dick. He didnt even have one in the manga. (at least i dont remember) 10/10 would look at griffiths dick again. |
  爆ぜろリアル！ 弾けろシナプス！ バニッシュメント・ディス・ワールド ! |
| A lot of CG this episode. Two battles and the dance. The animation is well done overall, but I didn't like the art in particular. (Movie 1 was so long ago I forgot what it looked like). I really like the dance scene. The movements, the SHADOWS. Oh, for once, shadows move in anime. |
