| Compared to the averageness of the first two movies, after watching this one I can say: "I wan't to see what happens next!" ... too bad there isn't any more. The first two might as well not even exist. They're pointless in comparison. I was expecting just another mediocre bloodbath, but instead got a dose of twisted darkness and some really disturbing ... "stuff". I was a bit disappointed Guts didn't have his own sword through that whole eclipse thing though. He could have done so much better. I think they did a great job conveying Griffith's evil at the end... he doesn't say a word, but those eyes say it all. Even the lead-up, where he is one step from being dead, his arm breaking when he fell... that was quite extreme as well. I liked it! |
  |
| This gets a 10 from me just because I got to see Guts's naked ass! Surely, the movies will keep coming, right? There are SEVERAL more arcs that NEED animation. |
 |
| this was lovely stuff. The Skull Knight was bordering on deus ex machina but I expect that's just an adaptation issue so forgivable. Easily redeems the fairly aimless middle third. I'll probably even give the series another go now. Hope they're able to produce another trilogy ASAP. |
| everything is 11/10 except for CGI part goddammit why isn't there more... I might actually try to follow this on manga.... if there're not planning on more animation... sigh... |
 |
| Some may think The Golden Age arc is the best but I find everything after to be much more exciting and entertaining. These movies were really unnecessary for anyone who watched the TV series already. Do yourself a favor and start reading the manga. Hope someone continues to animate the rest of Berserk. |

| wow this was better than the other 2 movies and its also my favorite part int he anime aswell. i think there were a few scenes that were not in the anime..or i just didnt notice them. the action scenes look great and i really got used to the cgi after the first 2 movies.it looked much more fluid compared to the first movie. started reading the manga a few days ago..man the first chapters are long :D 9/10 |
| In the series they didn't show that Casca and Guts got saved and that Casca got brain damaged. Overall 10/10 I loved it. |
  |
| Definitely better than the TV series. I felt having a friend doing this to you, is the WORST! Still Griff was badass to leave everything behind and stand on his own. I wonder if that will later apply to the fellow demon lords or GOD himself will be taken down by this man? Looking forward to the next arc or follow up OVA like Hellsting :D |
 |
| WTF? |
| que odio que merda |
| Well that was brutal, not as brutal as the manga, but cmon that was horrifying. They left out a few parts of the rescue that I would have liked to have seen however I can get over it. It was not perfect but it was faithful to the manga and that's all I can ask. 8/10 |
 |
| A big improvement compared to the previous 2 movies. I hope the rest of the manga will get animated as well, but with either no or better CGI. |
| your waifu is shit |
| Instead of criticizing I'm going just going to accept as it is. I still prefer the Manga and the original series, but like someone mentioned before its freaken Berserk. Just glad they decided to give us something. |
| In hindsight one of the things I didn't like about the Eclipise was the lack of how expressive Guts was physically in the films compared to the anime (a big part of this is the limits of the 3d rendering). When Guts hears Gaston cry out for him in the anime Guts turns around with this desperate smile on his face with wide eyes like "Yes there's someone still alive!". Idk I felt like that was lost in the film. |
| First, the good. I truly enjoyed seeing the parts that weren't featured in the television series, and it was nice seeing Puck thrown in there for good measure. Also, the amount of pure malice in this movie was just seething through my screen. Holy crap. However, the beginning was noticeably rushed, but that wasn't my biggest problem with this film, which is something I relate to horror games like Silent Hill. The part when they're transported into the other world actually did freak me out in the television series. Perhaps it's because it was older, but everything was so visibly dark and limited, you couldn't see a blasted thing, much less the monsters. Furthermore, because everything was less detailed, you couldn't see what was going on, and even if you did, it was hard to tell what it was. The monsters were also more freaky, since you couldn't see all of them. The world itself was also a deep red, rather than the blue we have here. What happens as a result is too much flashiness. Again, relating it to Silent Hill, there's a sense of it all being far too detailed, aided by modern-day animation tech. That's nice, and I truly appreciate it for the large battles between human armies, but it doesn't translate well when fighting demons. If anything, these films seem to focus more at showing off gore and sex. While they were also present in the television series, here it's in full view and receive far more emphasis than to my liking. Another thing is the manner which Griffith acted after being released. In the television series, he seemed like a marionette with its strings cut. Even before his transformation, he didn't seem human anymore. I couldn't fully understand what was going through his head. Here, he's both conscious and aware of what's going on. His eyes are still human, and the film shows what he's thinking. It's a small thing, but by the time he makes a decision to sacrifice the Band of the Hawk, the film visually cues him into making the choice. I would have preferred it to be less grandiose and either something abrupt or something decided while he was still within his inner monologue. But, that is just my preference. This film trilogy wasn't bad. In fact, much of it was very enjoyable. It didn't do anything wrong, nor did it take any missteps. Perhaps though, its weakness was doing too much? It's hard to say, but the graphic nature of Berserk actually felt like a hindrance. A distraction. Overly glorified to the point where that's all I really remember. My favorite part of Berserk thus far is the dynamic between Guts, Griffith, and Casca. It's a shame that the graphic content had to drive the dynamic, instead of the other way around. |
| If anything, this movie was only required to extend the ending of the TV series. There was more I wanted to see when Guts woke up after the Eclipse though. Of course, the Eclipse itself was awesome. It maintained the brooding atmosphere the TV series had. I couldn't help but to think, if the third movie would have been so fixated on the Eclipse then the previous two movies should have dove deeper into the supernatural aspects of Berserk's universe. I guess for a movie trilogy, there was too much in too little time. Still enjoyable, regardless of its differences from the TV series. |
| For everyone who's mad after finishing the movie here's something funny: Manga spoiler: |

| Why does the description for the movie thoroughly spoil the entire plot of it? I feel sorry for anyone who just wanted to look at the page but didn't know the plot of the series. |
mikezilla2 said: the real question is were do we stand as far as more films being made? The studio has yet to announce anything,but with the manga returning to monthly serialization...the chances are definetly there.But none can say for sure. |
 |
| much better than the series. |

 |
| While I preferred the animation style of the original series, these movies serve well as a shortened version of the story. I felt the events of the Eclipse lacked impact due to the removal of details explaining the relationship between Guts/Griffith/Casca, which was a natural consequence of reducing the overall length. I made a note of some (non-dialogue) changes I noticed in comparison to the anime series, in the spoiler below: |
Mirai, zura~!  |
| And so does Griffith's defiled human body locked in his armor become Femto who's Demon God body possesses the helmet that was locked on his head when he was still Human... But seeing Skull Knight tho ... The way he blocked his own attack :D |
 |
| Okay some parts were beautiful, but what made it less appealing was how laggy it felt and some emotions were dialed down a bit. But Fuck yes This was great. I need to rewatch the anime or reread the parts of the manga that is out. This is only the beginning? Well it was cool to see him put on the dark swordsman armor after the credits. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| From what chapter should I start reading the manga after completing this movie? |
| Holy shit lil Rickert still alive? wow thought he was a goner when i saw the original anime. |
| All this resulted from suppressed gay feelings for each other... God damn it Griffith and Guts. Now everybody is dead. |
Mr_Shnb said: Holy shit lil Rickert still alive? wow thought he was a goner when i saw the original anime. I thought he was going to die and kept waiting and waiting, surprised every time he didn't. I'm glad he lived though. |
| Magnificent! Masterpiece! "So basically, this is another battle... Nothing has changed at all.... Nothing at all!" Madlib said: From what chapter should I start reading the manga after completing this movie? From the beginning... This is worth reading. Look for the best quality. |
  |
| Wow, i was expecting the movie to end with Guts screaming. This movie was way better than the previous two. |
| That was fantastic, hard to watch even now but still utterly fantastic. I think the perfect Golden Age Arc Anime Experience would be to watch the original 1997 anime upto episode 20 and then to watch this film. |
Madlib said: From what chapter should I start reading the manga after completing this movie? From the start, always from the start when it comes to any manga. But particularly here as the movie removes several small, but important, scenes as well as makes some changes that make scenes significantly less enjoyable |
on 
| dam the movies r really good remakes n they explained how they got away from the demons n wat happen 2 Casca but they made Griffith look more like batman |
| I've enjoyed watching the scenes in this movie a bit more than the original since it went all out with the violence and graphic nudity. Guts x Casca was a beautifully sexy and amusing moment~ They also gave info about the reason why those "Guardian Angels" exist and put Griffith's torture to full effect. The Eclipse was very well done and truly brutal to watch... What happened in the last parts of the movie explained why the 2016 version started out like that too. I want Guts to punch Griffith after pulling off that evil Batman NTR on Casca. |
 |
| 8.33? HUH? This was pathetic. First 2 movies were quite ok but this POS was pointless, dull and went from ridiculous gore to boring fields of wheat with some wanker undead horseman who was conveniently introduced with no connection to any of the characters. RUINED story. WTF were they thinking to end it with this stupidity? |
| People have really low standards. Throw in some sex and a whole lot of ultra violence and everyone will praise your otherwise sub par effort. Typical. |
adios said: People have really low standards. Throw in some sex and a whole lot of ultra violence and everyone will praise your otherwise sub par effort. Typical. Yeah, I almost feel sorry for the people who think these shallow CGI-shitfests are even close to being proper adaptations of the manga.. |
| Wow, the eclipse scene was the most disturbing thing I have ever seen in anime. Overall I liked this trilogy more than the original anime. This ending makes more sense to me. |
| sick and stuck in bed and saw the trilogy on netflix this last one felt like end of eva and claymore had a baby, and this shit was horrible - i don't mean the movie was bad, but i knew some of the spoilers (mainly the griffith goes evil, rapes casca) but wOw i didn't expect it to this extent: i wasn't prepared for this. i was genuinely horrified, i had my hand over my mouth and my stomach was dropping. i "oh my god"'d so loud that i woke my dog up when everyone started getting eaten. i've seen A LOT of "edgy" anime, in fact anime with blood and death are my favorite but this was on another level, the second half of the movie was horrific and i LOVED it (despite being so scared i cried lololol) i feel like i did it backwards, but i enjoyed this intro to berserk. the animation for all three movies was stunning: tbh i did kinda hate the bits that were cgi animated, but that's just me - i'm not a fan of cgi in anime. but the regularly animated scenes were stunning, though what got me the most was the scenery. now, off to watch the original series and read the manga!! |

| Boy, they really went all out with the sex scenes in this adaptation. Fun watch but I still much prefer the original TV series and manga. Not even going to bother with the 2017-18 CGI series. |
| Unfortunately they missed really nice parts following the part of the escape but, for the rest, it's really a good movie. I hate the fact Caska seems to enjoy the situation, why Miura decided to make this scene like this. It didn't was needed. At the end of this trilogy, I can say that the manga is better obviously, but this films aren't that bad how I was think. Sorry if there are errors in my english. |
