Mezziaz said: Yes, in the Casca rape flashback the screen is almost entirely blacked out. But i'm not surprised since it's still TV even though it might be airing late. Censor with casca rape flashback. And also other numerous times. When little girl is impaled, and the numerous shots of her (impaled on the ground, etc). When the girl is chopped in half. And then there is also when she decapitates her father its blacked out. Almost certain the bluray release will not have that censorship which is just Japanese TV censorship. |
hisokathebutcher said: Ictius said: so its not from the start Read the manga or, at least, watch the first Berserk anime so you can understand what is going on in this one. Well i guess i'm going to pass on this , the manga is too long and the anime before this one also suffer from bad animation . It skipped some thingss but it's adapted from one of the first chapters. Still, it's a long manga. |

| This episode felt like it was directed by a 12 year old. Camera moves around so much that you can't even comprehend what's happening. It never stops to let you take all that you see in. The animation is straight up trash as expected. The story is sloppily presented. But the worst thing is that the anime is dealing with some of the best material in manga history and THIS is the result? After just one episode I can safely say that this has the potential to become my least favorite anime of all time. |

| Atrocious first episode. We will never get a faithful adaptation, why do they keep fucking it up? |

Heisan said: Who cares about CGI and story butchering you guys forgetting something important, THIS IS BERSERK you know? You should be glad we are getting anything new besides than the recycled Golden Age. You guys are whining and ignoring any good aspect this anime has, which are the gore, violence, gore, dark story, THIS GODDUMM EPIC ost, which pretty much what defines what Berserk IS I would rather have not gotten another shitty Berserk anime at all to be honest. Why should one be glad with low quality bs like this? Berserk deserves much more. |
| Got to see it earlier than I thought. So, while I too wanted to see a full adaptation of the story, it seems we'll have to just settle with the Conviction arc. If that's done well, so be it. Honestly, neither the animation or the cuts to episode 1 really bothered me. Dare I say, it was actually solid to me. I could imagine so much worse (Studo 4c)... and actually, my biggest problem with it is something no one else has mentioned: Hiroaki Iwanaga kinda sucks as Guts. His normal talking voice sounds great, but, damn, he cannot scream worth a damn, and that's 90% of the character. He's no Nobutoshi Canna, that's for damn sure. The whole ending with Guts shooting up his canon is supposed to be the first crack of vulnerability you ever see in him, and in the manga and even from his face in the anime, it's obvious that Guts is actually terrified at that moment. Iwanaga plays it so bland, he ruins the moment entirely, "UUUGN. SHUT UP... I GUESS." Compare that to Canna in the PS2 game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH2SwUSoyDw I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe the English dub and Marc Diraison will do better. No one else bothered me though. Liked Puck and Isidro. |

| 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.

When I read the manga, my Guts' voice is actually a mix of both his and Canna combined; how that works, my mind will only know, but once I get a good flair for a Japanese actor (or any, really), I can always still read them in English. I know my Griffith always sounds like Kevin Collins; that IS Griffith, period. No Japanese guy has really come close. Mezziaz said: RealCW said: Hiroaki Iwanaga absolutely sucks as Guts.

| Wow, and I thought the movies were ugly, I have a whole new appreciation for them! Not that I've seen an incredible amount of anime in my time, but I seriously can't think of an uglier series. Combined with the very hit and miss music that at times is very jarring and sounds like something they'd blare at CIA blacksites to try and break al-Qaeda prisoners, it makes for a rather unpleasant experience. I don't understand why they'd bother adapting this manga just to hack off the Black Swordsman and Lost Children arcs. I was hoping to see Guts' romantic rendezvous with the female Apostle because it was so surprising and disturbed. Now, I will say, despite the poor visuals, animation, at times terrible soundtrack, needlessly screwing with the plot, have Guts deliver a quip even Arnold Schwarzenegger would have too much pride to utter, whitewashing Casca... I actually enjoyed the episode for the bit of story it did give us and finally getting beyond the Golden Age arc. But then again, if I only like it for the story why don't I just drop it and re-read the manga? Hmmm. |

| Honestly I didn't mind the animation in the movies. I thought it wasn't great but it didn't ruin my experience. However, the animation in the 2016 anime is appalling. My problem isn't even that it's in 3D, it's in bad 3D. Watching the movies got me hopeful that this new anime would be at least half decent, but I can just tell, even after only reading to the near-end of Golden Age, that the plot is going to be a jumbled mess for a while. Not to mention that the series almost completely lacks the beautiful direction and framing of the movies, but it's not all bad. The voice acting isn't too bad, my only complaint is Puck but honestly that's just nitpicking at this point. I would have to say that the major problem I can see the whole series having, just judging from the first episode, is that it doesn't stand on its own. If you just had to see the movies to understand everything, that would be slightly better, but to fully understand the movies it's recommended that you read the manga, which is a cardinal sin of any adaptation. The goal of any adaptation is that it can stand on its own, and I worry that the series won't be able to pull it off. |
| It was a good episode regarding the action and Guts, but the CGI is awful... The only character that I find well done is Guts. It was also hard to understand what happened during the fight with the big monster. As a Dark Souls fan, I liked the atmosphere so I hope it will be a good ride. |

The goal of any adaptation is that it can stand on its own, and I worry that the series won't be able to pull it off. Exactly why Berserk needs to be adapted for real, as an anime, beginning to end. They keep doing these bizarre half and half adaptations they never even line up with one another, and no one who's read the manga will understand hardly anything, but their changes only infuriate those well versed in the story already. Catch 22. I noticed in the preview, Guts has a Behelit too... whose is that? The Count wasn't included; is it trying to be a continuation of the first anime, so is it the Snake Baron's? But that directly contradicts the new Golden Age films... etc. See? It's a mess. |

| The whole thing is a giant mess, but I think they're either gonna mishmash Black Swordsman bulletpoints in wherever they can. I honestly think that they just need to say fuck it and adapt it from beginning to end, like you said. |
| Can someone confirm something. I haven't read the manga so please, no spoilers. I would like to know how faithful it is. Does it also blend arcs together!!?? Ive seen the original 1997 anime though. |

They skipped them entirely, barring one or two out of place scenes, in a wholly new context. For example, the whole demon tree and bandit thing originally was the start of the Lost Children arc (volume 14) where Guts saves a girl who was kidnapped by these thugs, but his brand brings about demons into the trees and he has to fight both them and it. Here they included that scene, barring the girl Jill, and included it at the end of what happened in chapter 2, with the skeleton army and the other girl and her father being murdered. |

Gao481 said: Valkata said: So that basically amounts to a few nitpicks here and there that have no overall impact, and here I thought you were going to elaborate on the "We are skipping like 2-3 arcs" part.It's not about the golden age arc at all. First, Guts DOESN'T have time to be a gourmet cook at night, because he literally can't rest at all. The fire helped a little, but he extinguished it, which is in complete opposite to the manga. Fire is needed for him, to keep the specters at bay. Isidro's character was completely ruined, he looked like a piece of shit. When he was introduced in the manga, he had wits and stole from adults. And Guts' introduction was shit too. He goes into a bar and kicks the shit out of some guys, just because they're in his way. Furthermore those guys DIE in manga in the first few panels in a gruesome way, here he brakes some teeth and we don't even see that. If you think that nothing is changed, you should really re-read the manga. And that tree in the manga he totally obliterated it, here he was almost killed. How can he fight apostles, if he is almost killed by firewood ... I'm not trying to say that it hasn't been a bad anime so far, but it hasn't become a bad adaptation just yet The whole thing with Guts being almost destroyed by the tree is enough to ruin him. In the manga, he was exhausted after fighting the Elf Apostle Rosine. In the manga he destroyed that tree without breaking a sweat. Secondly how is destroying Isidro's character not important ? Thirdly, how can anyone that is a fan of Berserk not get angry when Guts has time to eat at night, while at night he has the most dangerous encounters and is the least safe. And yes, we are skipping Guardians of desire arc and Lost children arc, which are fundamental to provide characterization for Guts, Puck, and to some extent for Isidro. |

At the very least, they could've made it half a dozen trees or just SOMETHING believable enough to tire Guts out enough to be captured by the Holy Iron Chain Knights. He's not invincible; if I recall, he had a fair bit of trouble dispatching of Rosine's Apostle Spawns (the bandits from earlier), so a couple trees would've at least been *something* But we can't forget that without the most brutal fight of Guts we've seen (Rosine, ie, slaughtering children without remorse), Guts' inner beast has no chance to begin to manifest to him; as I recall, it's right after that fight that he hears and sees it both at the same time since right after the Eclipse. |

| comming from someone who has never watched any of th berserk prev animes nor read the manga, this anime is actually pretty interesting to me, the 3d rubbed the wrong way but the story so far was intriguing enough for me to keep following it, i give it a 7/10 if it was regular 2d maybe it would gotten a 8/10 |
 |
| Berserk from 1997 looked better than this. |
 |
| The production is shitty and I don't like the western style action with fast cuts instead of proper choreography, but the soundtrack is pretty good and Berserk is still cool. |

| As a Berserk fan since 2003, does it make me a bad fan that I didn’t hate absolutely everything here? I liked the OP, and it has better animation than the actual episode itself lol. Humor with Puck was good and spot-on. The CGI is so low-budget, but thanks to shows like Ronja and Knight of Sidonia I’m used to full-length CGI. 3D CGI in anime is something I hated for a long time, but realizing how prevalent it’s become now, I guess you just have to get used to it. It’s here to stay. A shame that the CGI couldn’t be better, though. As expected of the Ben-to director, there are too many quick cuts and other unique directorial choices. It makes for something stylish, but also gives you motion sickness… Not sure if it was the best choice for Berserk. The music is awful. The scene with Colette was completely ruined. And that “BLOOD AND GUTS AND BLOOD AND GUTS AND BLOOD AND GUTS” song is abysmal. I hated it in the movies and I hated it here. All being said, I can deal with the shoddy 3DI CGI, but skipping arcs like the rest of the Black Swordsman and Lost Children is painful. Also, randomly adding Isidro way before he’s supposed to be introduced was just weird. And I sincerely hope it’s just the lighting when it comes to Casca. For now, I’m withholding judgment until we get a better chance to see her. So, yeah, I didn’t hate everything! But I hated most things! A ringing endorsement! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| I just can't get over that SHIT CGI. It's fucking unbearable how bad it looks... It looks like a fucking school project from 1998. Are you kidding me? Put the budget into great animators instead of this ultra crap. I've never read the manga but from what people are saying it isn't very faithful either. I'll have to read it instead. |

| Berserk deserves better than this. |
 |
| I.. actually liked that. The music, voice acting and overall sound design were pretty good. Sure the CG isn't the best, but it's tolerable (especially for us Berserk movie fans). I do wish they didn't skip the moth arc though. |

It's really fucky, but Isidro showing up really isn't as drastic as it seems. They just put him there so they could jump into the conviction arc without people thinking, "dafuq is this?" Really, all they needed to do is show that he had an interest in Guts and followed him, but he doesn't interact with Guts til later so it makes it 'okay'. If we saw Isidro randomly showing up when fighting those Skeletons, and speaking to Guts; yeah that would have fucked it up. I'm just curious how they'll handle the Conviction arc cause it's obvious they just mashed a shit ton of stuff into episode 1 just to get there. They better deliver if they took such a huge shortcut like that. |

If they're only sticking to the Conviction arc (should be hard to do anything past that with 24 episodes, unless the entire thing is just butchered), it's just another obvious set up for their later introductions, which I too am okay with. |

| Well, I seen it....and it sucks. I haven't read the manga but i've seen the originla 1997 anime. This was rushed to hell. Felt like the way Game Of Thrones is now with all the details cut out and just showing the big parts. Its like a bunch of random scenes put together like wtf!? pacing is shit too. Its not the same man, music sucks too, got rock music going on n shit. Only piece I liked was the song in the preview for the next episode. When guts got free of the tree to save the kid.....was that....dub step!!!???? it was hard top hear but it didnt work man hahaha! The beginning scene from Chapter 1 and Episode 1 of the 1997 anime, the bandits that guts kill....he doesnt even fkn kill em like in the manga and original anime, just knocks em out like wtf? Thats where he reveals his sword amn but no, they had to reveal it later. I admit it was a cool time but its still shit. The whole vibe is just different, feels like your below average fantasy anime thats just trying too hard to be tough and dark. Fuck this, I've done and dropped it. I'm gonna read the manga when I get the time. |
