There was no zombie tree in the manga, not only do they gotta make it look like a ps2 game but they gotta add dumb boss fights too?

I feel like more than a lot has been lost in the adaption, it doesn't feel like the Berserk in the manga it feels more artificial and forced. Guts' and Puck's relationship doesn't seem funny and natural more tacked on and anime trope-ish.

It's such a shame because Berserk is perhaps the greatest story ever written in any medium, and yet anyone who watches this anime without reading the manga wouldn't know it.

There actually is a zombie tree, check chapter 95, it's from the lost chilren arc though. They just mashed all kinds of chapters together.

no wonder it seemed so out of place, just fucking adapt the manga is that so hard. Oh and don't use CGI unless you're square enix.

Parasyte isn't nearly as famous as Berserk is and yet look at the love and care and great animation that show got. Why do the Japanese want Berserk to have shit adaptions so bad?

First, Parasyte is famous. If you weren't around to witness the phenomena back in the day, go read all about it on Wikipedia. Kiseijuu was big and it still is, big enough to get 2 simultaneous adaptations the moment Japanese got the rights back. Might've been even bigger if they didn't sell them in the first place, or if WB didn't fuck it up with the western adaptation.

Second, it's just 1 episode. It might be better to wait a bit before calling this adaptation shit, you know? Just sayin'

And third, the previous adaptation was good. I quite enjoyed it as a stand-alone experience.
hate capital letters.
deal with it.

I loved the first Berserk anime, but all I hear is bad things about the newer movies. But this episodes makes me hate the studio responsible for ruining modern Berserk adaptions. And it's a shame the american adaption of Parasyte never saw the light of day as Japanese live action films are terrible and according to reviews the live action Parasyte is no exception.
