The original was great but short-lived. How do you think a well-animated modern day Berserk anime would do?



Edit: and do you think Claymore could also stand the test of time if it got a reboot?

Aye, just watched a 2 hour video on the Berserk timeline and yea its a shame it hasn’t got a good adaption. The story is so spectacularly detailed and unique and the world has character down to every acorn. Plus it’s gorgeous(only word that fits), the art from 10 years ago is miles ahead of most manga/anime today.
Only thing is that the end is nowhere in sight so we’ll be watching the reboot w our grandkids lol and a good studio.

Berserk is already a top Anime of all time with the 1997 adaption.

Even the original was not accurate. All Berserk adaptations don’t follow the manga. The producers all seem to have their own idea of what the story should be instead of what it is.

But as far as Berserk adaptations excluding the original, it’s the era of battle shounen. Seines adaptations are rare indeed, unless Netflix or Crunchyroll foot the bill, but you usually end up with a Blame experience (adaptations is made to be more appealing to more people not just anime and manga fans). I have given up on a proper Berserk adaptation, the manga is more than enough for now

I highly doubt a Japanese studio would ever procure the funds and promotional materials for a proper adaption of Berserk. It’s just not popular material for most anime fans over there.

the original adaptation is already amazing. to me the original has great animation even tho its old. what berserk needs is an adaptation that covers the manga super accurately. the studios that i’ll trust to properly adapt berserk are wit studio and MAPPA

Berserk is the greatest manga of all time. Of course it has the potential to be the greatest anime of all time, but it ain't.

Would be great if they did a proper adaptation like they'd spend 5-6 years just to make 10-50 eps. I think that much time is necessary if they want to adapt the art properly and not use shitty cgi

I mean, it would never happen since large animation studios have admitted they're legitimately scared at the prospect of tackling these legendary seinen manga like berserk, punpun and vagabond. Because if the animation isn't up to snuff it'll get barraged by current fans and if they spend the fortune neccessary to give it the animation it deserves then it wont make them any money since berserk doesn't have the widespread popularity required to get them back that money.

And why spend 3 years and tons of effort to make a 10/10 masterpiece when you can make a mediocre romcom and make money off of it?

Redline was studio madhouses last truly ambitious title. It was amazing and kicked massive ass but it flopped. Why produce an anime for 7 years in complete 2D animation with over 100,000 frames of animation when you can make highschool girls go kyaa and rake in the money?

Reality is truly dissapointing bro.
He died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right? I bet he was happy.

Good luck with berserk Kouji Mori, you'll need all the help you can get. We believe in you.

I'm not sure if the adaptation would surpass the manga because the art is one of the best things about berserk imo

This Version of Berserk is in fact top Anime of all time for me. Creating a better adaptation than this seems almost impossible to do. Make the animation more fluent and smooth, and it could lose its magic. A "Proper" adaptation either needs to create its own style and be disconnected from the Manga or be a miracle, both is welcome. However, since Seinen adaptations in recent memory (Viland Saga) tend to be more battle Shounen than their original Manga I guess both would not do the Manga justice even if they get the art style right.

And no i dont think Claymore, while being decent, comes even close. It may stand the test of time, but not nearly with the same status Berserk has.

Easily. It would roll attack on Titan and tuck it into bed over and over. Berserk is just better. It’s simple.

Berserk is the best Manga ever drawn imo. So it’s maybe impossible to adept. But if... let’s just dream on.

Berserk is the greatest storyline of ALL TIME. It is a masterpiece, it is literally a piece of art. The 1997 anime is still one of the best anime of all time even though it's so old. HxH and Berserk are the best anime I have ever seen, I just pray I will see the end before I die. The creators of Castlevania should adapt Berserk.

I second this. Just because its score isn't in the top 50 anime page doesn't mean anything. Evangelion is one of the best anime of all time and its score is 8.3 so that's pointless to think about.

The ambience of the 97 anime is basically impossible to replicate nowadays, so even if we did get another adaptation, as faithful as it would be to the manga, I highly dount it would top the original one for me.

Yeah, at least as far as series goes. There are only a few movies that I might rank higher.

I am already enjoying this version more than 99.9% of other anime.
I'm not really a manga guy , but Berserk seems to be worth it.

Correct me if I'm wrong , but 1997 version is more like a prequel to what's Berserk truly about.Like a demo version of true dark Berserk.

Anyway , this adaption is done really well. Nicely done pacing for drama anime , but no feeling of losing everything else other than action parts like early seasons of SnK. Characters are deep , story is great. Animation is miles better than Utena's ugly repetitive backgrounds mixed with creative Ikuhara's decisions.
I hate everyone equally
