So, it seems like it will be full CG based on the renders, which means it will be garbage. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the official website says under the "comments" and "news" section? I can read only basic moon.

It saddest me to know that this anime adaption of Berserk is going to be another CGI animation, at least I hope they get to adapt a bit more than the black swordsman arc.

Jeez, this is giving me nightmares from the Kingdom anime YUCK.

Damn shame here when there's potential for so much more. CGI doesn't have to be bad, that One Piece mini movie thing in 3D I thought had pretty great CGI, but I HIGHLY doubt we're going to get anywhere close to the production values of that thing in this.

It isn't just the characters that look funky as hell, it's the animation overall that look like garbage. It looks so unnatural and robotic, and for a series that has so much movement and action sequences, having this super awkward animation really kills the whole experience.

I was hoping this would have more hand-drawn animation and less CGI, this looks more choppy than the first two Golden Age Arc movies. Maybe they will iron out the kinks between now and release. I thought the third movie struck a nice balance between hand-drawn and CG.

But the classic washed up look is what makes the manga more in-tone and that's what works here.


CGI here is doing great.
It's the metal music that kinda ruins it.

people is getting annoyed lately....
i understand they let down your expectations..

but geez...
people if you really don't like it then don't watch it...
and even if you said you won't watch it, you'll probably watch it even if it's only skimming it...
it's not like 'the worst' thing has happened...
you should be happy we got more of berserk..
and the manga is back too(even if it's a monthly release)..

you could at least appreciated them that they're making more of this series...
it's not like you can make an animation with the level in that PV...
talking shit to something you can't even make is unacceptable..

It's more of an opportunity cost that the series has. If it gets a new anime, there likely won't be any remake of the same story arc in the next decade (hell, the only case I could think of that a show was remade from its adaptation was Fate Stay Night. And that wasn't even exactly a remake). So if this new post-Golden Age arc is completed, it'll be the last time this particular arc (which will introduce characters who were never before animated) gets adapted.

Now. If it were just another ecchi-harem manga/LN, I don't think many people would care that much. But clearly Berserk has a huge standing in the community that has read it, even if it's not as popular as mangas such as FMA or Shingeki no Kyojin. Hell, it literally is the MOST highly rated manga on this website. (http://myanimelist.net/topmanga.php)
Maybe people who have read this manga consider it the epitome of the medium. It is unique and emotionally gripping to many. The series is legendary.

So with the perspective of how highly regarded the series is, and how much of a opportunity to make something that could be amazing, both of these facts in mind, I think it's easy to see why many people are angry that the CGI show in the trailer (which should normally SELL a series) are very very low quality. They don't look like the manga, and are stuck in that "uncanny valley" for Anime that doesn't look real nor 2D. It tries to imitate the effect achieved by 2D animation and just looks like 90s promotion ads 3D instead.

With the animation that has done One Punch Man and Shingeki no Kyojin justice, I think Berserk deserves something similar considering how well written it is.

I'm really not too sure why this Anime was made if it was going to look like what was shown in the trailer, to be honest. To produce something so... inorganic, such as the action shown in the trailer, seems to be NEGATIVE promotion for Berserk.

Also, the music hints that the producers got the mood of Berserk COMPLETELY wrong. this is not suppose to be an action SLICE EM ALL series (even though at times it feels like that in the manga). What makes Berserk good is the characters. The complex emotion involved in the hero and heroine. The desires and motives of them all that may be dark. It's more subtle. Like the Conviction Arc shows, it is almost religious. I imagine a background music made by a chorus when I think about a Berserk battle scene. epic and founded by the emotions of the characters.

but this... This hyper action rock-music accompanied CGI with skeletons that look like they were from some early 2000s underbudgeted game makes me think of everything that this could have been.

CGI CAN look good. But not like this.

I'm not too convinced. You might be noting the labor costs and the returns from Anime as a source of Anime's inevitability to switch to CGI, but that's not compelling to me. What seems clear to me though is that Anime's business model has to switch. Currently producing Anime is cheap, way cheaper than the 80s and 90s I would imagine since studios no longer produce 24 episode or even 40+ episode shows that seemed like they were common back then (now I could be very wrong! Please let me know.)

This seems to have enabled content producers to make ridiculous number of shows available. Most of the shows produced each season doesn't even get touched. Most Anime may have to switch to a different business model if the current mass-produced low cost shows become too expensive. I honestly don't think that the quality of cheap CGI currently will get the desired output: to get people to be enchanted by characters enough to buy the source material.

CGI models could be good. I think there as a Haruhi-look alike character that was one of the better handled CGI series'. But if they want to do it cheaply, I don't know if we're at that level yet. With Sidnonia, Berserk, and Ajin that's upcoming, all the biggest contenters' animation from CGI seems really really inferior to handdrawn shows.

There may be a resurgence for demand of HQ shows made by anime, maybe there won't be.

Honestly it's mostly peculation on my part. Please don't take it too seriously just because I spat out a lot to read on the internet.

TL DR: CGI probably won't be dominate b/c how bad cheap CGI models look right now, and anime might have to switch to produce more premium anime.

That cgi looks good to you? Its disgusting, looks like a god damn ps1 game and what were they thinking DRAWING guts's face but making everything else CGI. that makes no sense. his face is the ONLY nice looking thing there right now.

Bleach's composer? oh he did the movies right? I never liked the movies tbh. I'd rather have Susumu Hirasawa from the original anime doing the music.
