What they promised. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejBQL8nfLpI What we got (plus skipping almost the entire arc). |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. god damn when will this nightmare end? |
I thought Mike Judge said he wasn't bringing Bevis and Butthead back. |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| Anyone hating this from the get-go who is just going to complain about every single episode is free to drop this show right now. We don't need your negativity flooding the discussion pages every single week. |
| Gotta love all those negative reviews. Only 1 episode has been out and all i see are 1-3 ratings xD But well.. it's pretty accurate to how i'm feeling as well... CGI was slightly worse than what i was expecting since having watched the trailer... |

HyperL said: Yeah, you won't be able to know Guts's backstory (which is basically a third of the whole Berserk story). You should watch the first anime or the three movies (or you could read the manga).GoldenDevilGamer said: A little bit of a retelling near the beginning of the series, then it will quickly become a continuation of the TV series and the movies Does that mean I shoudn't be watching this before watching the first version or reading the manga? |

| who cares about the CGI, they juped 40 chapters and 2 arcs and mashed it together in twenty minutes.. |
HyperL said: GoldenDevilGamer said: A little bit of a retelling near the beginning of the series, then it will quickly become a continuation of the TV series and the movies Does that mean I shoudn't be watching this before watching the first version or reading the manga? To put it simply: yes To be more in-depth: You won't have a clue what's going on. The first anime adaptation (97) is a decent one of the first (chronological) arc, but skimps at both the beginning and end. The film trilogy from 2 years ago is an even more condensed version of that same arc, but with much much worse writing and animation. Avoid this at all costs. You could possibly watch Berserk 97 and get familiarized enough, but really the only way to go is the manga. But you'll have 16+ volumes of stuff to read before you should actually watch this anime... and then you'll just be disappointed. |

Well the characters aren't bad, but they are probably going to be judging where this is headed. |
Uberspyguy said: Get ready for a metric ton of people who either hate this show because of: A.) The CG B.) Because it doesn't adapt the manga perfectly panel by panel I think people need to realize that CG is going to become the norm in anime because it's much more efficient in terms of production than traditional 2d hand drawn animation and in terms of an adaptation do people not get the fact that anime and manga are two completely separate entities? They exist in parallel to each other. An anime doesn't have to adhere to the manga at all if the producers want to take it in a new direction. As someone who reads Berserk this first episode already shows that they are doing things differently than the source material but for all that is unholy can we not relish in the fact that we get to see Guts kill shit again? If CG becomes the new norm then Anime will die. No one likes it. That's what happens when no one likes something; no one watches it, it doesn't get money, and it dies. Just like my hopes of ever getting a faithful, decently animated adaptation. |

Z4k said: True, the lost children arc wasn't adapted. I'm wondering if this series will decide to cover that arc later (rearranging the source material, just like ReLIFE).GoldenDevilGamer said: This is how it started in the manga, however the series will skip a major arc in the next episode , because it was already covered by the movies and the tv series. So you should watch either one of the two to understand Guts's goal and know his backstory. Lost Children arc was never covered by the movies though. |
|
| This is clearly garbage. I think I'd better drop and read the manga... |
| ok :p |

MagicalMahou said: So this is Berserk... I can see why people like this so much. But it is a particularly good kick-off to the season, compared to Spring *cough*Mayoiga*cough* No, this is just some sort of vomit with Berserk title slapped onto it. Its absolutely NOT representative of what people love. comparing this to proper berserk is like comparing Big Order to NGE. Still to ohigh. Sure if you want entire manga be done in 12 episodes. Madhouse(big maybe), Bones or David Production would work out well I think. |

We don't need your negativity flooding the discussion pages every single week. Honestly, you should have seen this coming. I know I did. People like us, who have no problems with the visual aspects, are just going to have to power through the hate. There's going to be a lot of it. Can't say that I haven't seen it coming. I just have a fool's hope that now that everyone got that out of their systems we can actually talk about the show without seeing five pages of nothing but complaints. |
| Well, that was a disappointment. But it was obvious it was going to suck by watching the first trailer, so it's not that big of a surprise. Let's see if it can recover from this abysmal first episode or that it might get better later on. |

I just kinda wanna see how badly they'll manage to botch this up |
| I honestly enjoyed it regardless of the CG (used to it now, since Ajin and Sidonia no Kishi) and the adaptation seemed off. I was wondering what the hell was going on at the starting point. Weren't we supposed to start off with the black horseman rescuing Guts and taking him to the secret lair in the cave in which then he meets the fairy and same other girl? Its been a while since I read the manga, so not too sure. Either way, people should just be happy that the anime is continuing, yes I am not too happy about the CG (I wouldn't absolutely mind if it was of better quality) and its weird that it started off in a different place. Did these events actually take place, I forgot if they did? If so, in what order did they take place, after Golden Age when he gets taken out of the hell pit or before that? Or did they just not happen at all? Also what arc was skipped that people are talking about? |

| The problem about this is not even the CGI, which is secondary. To me the major problems are: - The pacing (too quick) - The camera all over the place - The soundtrack is great but all over the place too If the pacing was slower, the camera still and zoomed out, then it would already look much better. |
| The CGI is just awful, dropped about halfway through. 3/10 what a disgrace. |
 |
| It's shit, utter trash. Dropped. |
 |
Yes that would be by far the best choice, if you haven't read it yet |
| i haven't seen the original, is this a spoiler for me? |

Bernadottekun said: El 3D es bastante malo, hay movimientos y posturas que se ven realmente poco naturales, incluso con algunos "errores" diría, creo que incluso las escenas de combate no están del todo bien logradas, no pudieron darle la potencia y fuerza que quisieron, ni lograron tampoco dar dramatismo cuando hizo falta, sin embargo el capitulo tiene tomas realmente buenas cuando va hacia la animación tradicional aunque prácticamente se utiliza para primeros planos de rostros, por otro lado es verdad, la única manera de ver todo lo que falta del manga animado quizá sea ésta, quizá la obra maestra de Berserk no se merezca este trato. Disculpas por lo extenso de mi critica hacia el capitulo Un consejo, este foro es mayoritariamente inglés, así que no te van a hacer demasiado caso. Mejor escribe en inglés o busca un foro en español. Lo siento, pero es lo que hay :( Translation: "Some advice, this forum is mostly in english, so almost no one is going to bother reading your opinion. You should write in english or look for a spanish forum. Sorry, but that's it :(" And for the chapter itself... Well, another proof that we can't have a decent Berserk adaptation. I´m from Spain so this is even funnier considering that the manga here was published by three different publishers, and two of them went bankrupt after publishing it xD |

| Soooo.... I haven't either read the manga or watched the previous anime adaptation, but I've heard a lot about Berserk and it seems AWESOME!! Hahaha, on the other hand, I don't think I'll be eable to stand this 3D animation, as I couldn't stand Ajin either. Still, I'm looking forward the the next episode, though I think the manga would be a much better alternative :) |
 |
| I don't mind the CG but it was just sloppily done. It was more clumsy than the CG used in Sailor Moon Crystal during the transformation sequences. The thing that is sad about this series is the way they did the story. Everyone should be used to a little skewing when it comes to adaptations but considering how badly they did this by mixing the Black Swordsman Arc with the Retribution Arc? My god I could die. Thankfully I've been reading the manga. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
Fuseteam said: i haven't seen the original, is this a spoiler for me? Yeah, man. It's like picking up a book 16 chapters in. You could still keep watching it (if it improves) and see if what lead up to this might interest you, then you can go to the original manga. To be fair, the manga starts off (volume 1) chronologically at volume 14+, so, that was already kind of a spoiler. |

| Berserk still cant get a proper anime with good animation that covers stuff before and past the eclipse. CGI was terrible even tho it didnt bother me this much. Its new berserk stuff animated so im watching it anyways but im just glad i did read the manga. |
| holy shit this garbage is ranked #12 |

I just don't see why they keep cheaping out on berserk adaptations. With all the money they spent on the 3 movies + this they could have done ONE good TV series. ^Everyone needs to see this quote. |
