| Just pick up the manga. It's not like the movies are even gonna adapt more man 115 chapters of the 332 available in English. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |

Neane1993 said: Wow. Yeah, after reading that I don't know if I want to invest 4-6 hours watching the movies, but maybe one day when I get bored enough, I'll pick them up, and only if they are all available.

Still, I'm going to watch the 3rd too just out of morbid curiosity to see how bad they can mess up something as simple as the utter and complete gorefest that is the Eclipse. Lets just hope Eva 3.0 doesn't end up like that. |

| I'm gonna have to agree with those that just suggested picking up the manga. I love the series but the animation for these movies they've been putting out just doesn't look good. To be honest I think it looks terrible. Just read the manga, it's awesome. |
| I made some killer babaganoush... FOR VALHALLA!!! |

| Just starting volume 5 of the manga and it's bad ass. |
 |
| Movie 2 is already out there in the interwebz. But as many have suggested: pick up the manga instead. |
 |
| dont know why there making movie remakes when THEY NEED A FUKIN SEQUEL instead. blah blah go read the manga blah blah. well...i mite jst have to |
 |
| Yeah, like others said pick up the manga but just don't rush through Berserk like a mad man. Once you catch up you'll be like most of us here waiting for just one 20 page chapter to come out every 3+ months. Berserk II should be out fairly soon. It already is, but still waiting for subs to come out. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| I disagree, the animation looks superb compared to 90% of everything out there now, not to mention the original series when it released in 1997. Also, they announced the trilogy before the movies were released, so you can't really claim to be surprised when they lack some detail. 3 movies will cover the span of 26 episodes... I don't know, what do you think? |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| second one acTually isnT done To bad i ThoughT |
| Havent' even watched them yet, never was into the anime too much either because I knew it didn't cover much. The manga is great though, maybe I'll watch the movies. |

| Anyways, read the manga is the best solution katsucats said: I disagree, the animation looks superb compared to 90% of everything out there now, not to mention the original series when it released in 1997.

I don't know, what do you think? the original is the manga. It is not just the details, they cut scenes of the utmost importance. |
| Is it just me that's wishing the the rumor of the anime series being picked back up (which has been around forever) will actually become a reality now after the time they've invested in making a movie trilogy? |

So if they actually go through with this plan then I hope that they actually have a larger gap between the releases and make each movie longer. If not then lord all mighty please have mercy on our soul!I dont know about the anime getting picked back up, but I believe I read somewhere that they will continue making movies after this trilogy. Which makes sense, because the titles of the movies are Berserk: The Golden Age Arc |
| To those wondering why they did the remakes instead of a sequel: They HAD to do remakes in order to do the sequel. The ending of the original anime butchered the fuck out of the source material, leaving basically everything crucial out of the Eclipse. It was a messy, ambiguous clusterfuck. The point of these movies are to basically set the stage so there CAN be more of the series adapted. The only real important part of this trilogy is the final movie, where they left everything out in the original series. They don't need to go into super depth with these 2, it's obvious only diehard Berserk fans are going to watch these movies anyway, ones who have already seen the original anime and know bits like where Zodd through Guts the sword. But of course, they couldn't just go and release the third movie randomly, thus the first 2 movies which do not go very in-depth. |

But of course, they couldn't just go and release the third movie randomly, thus the first 2 movies which do not go very in-depth. I dug through some online sources back around the time they announced the production of the Berserk Trilogy Movie project. There were a few quick one or two line sentences regarding a "2nd season" of the anime or a "follow-up to the anime" other than the Movie project. The info I found said the series ended at ep 25 due to $$$ available at the end of the 25th episode, amount of manga story available and with a couple quick 1 or 2 liner posts about the continuation of the story-line in animated format might rely on possible $$$ available after profits from the Movie Trilogy. I don't have any sources to directly quote as this was all info that came from individual's reviews of the movies on various sites. The main thing that appeared several times was the "Production Cost of the anime franchise". I can only imagine the budget vs profit values that the Movie produced. I only wish that either 1 - The popularity of the movie series warrants enough funding & interest to continue the manga story-line in anime format (not in a movie format) 2 - If the above doesn't happen, then the people that decided to spend tons of $$$ on making the movie trilogy regret making the Movies instead of continuing the Manga Story Arc's in "tv anime series" format. 2a - They also get flamed nonstop by people demanding more berserk story line continuation in animated format - instead of butchering several aspects of the anime (which is near perfection) in the first 2 movies I've watched. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed the first 2 movies I've watched so far, however they in no way compete with how all the elements (story,voice acting, music score, animation) came together in the anime which is easily in my top 5 of all time series. |
