Yeah, but the rape was a bit more of a double whammy. Almost raped AND it was by these being I didn't know exist. While, yeah, it can work; it's nowhere near as powerful as it should be, should any attempted rape be omitted.


First of all Im going to wait for the episode because Im not 100% sure that some kind of sex attack wont be included, if not by the horse then by something else. Lets see.

Second I dont think (personally) that the rape horse event was the most defining event for Farnese, but maybe Im wrong. I thought that the entire nightmare during the tower of conviction, not to mention the cave of trolls during the millenium falcon arc (where they are completely surrounded and helpless, and Farnese fails protecting Casca), were the key things which made Farnese give up her faith.

I thought rape horse was more of a quick panel joke thing, and Guts quickly disposed of it.
The POSSESSION itself I feel was much more defining psychologically for Farnese, because of the shame involved and also the fact that the demons confronted her with her dark side (that she liked burning people alive, that she was an insane sadomasochist, etc etc).

Im hoping for the possession and at least a sexual innuendo in next episode. Im not too butthurt about missing rape horse because he was a bit more funny than scary tbh. I am MUCH more butthurt about missing out the count arc.

All in all, while episode was a 'little' bit clunky, I think episode 2 really stepped up the quality. It was the same quality as the movies and OH GOD, the music, that was awesome.

This isn't praise, as far as I'm concerned.
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.

I'd watch this anime a hundred times in a row before I ever sit through Studio 4c's Berserk trilogy again.

[Sarcasm on:] I see you're a real fan of the movies [Sarcasm off:]

Each their own I guess, I liked the old anime, I liked the movie trilogy, and I like the current episodes, and I like the manga. Sometimes I think its more about people being picky than just sitting back and relax, while watching/reading something good

Is that really the trend now? To censor things and include them on future releases?

It always made more sense to me to just cut them out and then... they're cut in all versions.

Something like nipples seems like it would be an open and shut case like that for me.

Doing it the other way reeks of near blackmail or some sort of underhanded tactics in terms of selling: "We promise, if you pay us, we'll make it better on the home releases" or something like that.

I can only give that the middle finger.

I think it has more do with the production company wanting to avoid causing an unnecessary ruckus.

When something airs on public TV anyone can potentially tune in at any time and ending up seeing something deemed unappropriate for that particular viewer.

When the same content is released for purchase however it is different as you the customer then hold some responsibility to do some proper research to know what you are getting into.

Is it dumb and extremely disappointing that the general society still hasn't come further, were something as natural as female nipples are still considered offensive and unappropriate material? Yes, yes it most certainly is.

I personally despise censorship like a cancer, though I can still understand why it's being done even if I don't agree with it one single bit.

I'm glad they're sticking to the story...though taking an original route and omitting a few scenes is going to hurt it a bit...

Also, this one's a keeper:

That's been the trend for a while now. A lot of ecchi anime use steam, convenient beams of light, inexplicable beams of darkness (which the Casca rape flashback in episode 1 used), or really awkward closeups to hide nipples in the broadcast, only to remove them in the DVD/BD release.

It's actually also true for violence. The Tsukihime broadcast in 2003 used an awkward closeup to censor Alucard being dismembered, but in the DVD release it was fully displayed, so the practice has been around for at least 13 years.

It was a lot better than the pilot episode and I surprisingly enjoyed it.
The animation is still a shame and shouldn't be allowed, but the pacing is good and I think this could be an alright anime adaptation.

That CG gore tho.

Farnesse has a fucking stupid hairstyle. Who the fuck wears twin tails on the battlefield?

Also, I'm surprised they didn't chain his stump.

Farnesse went to town with that whip on guts and on herself. I knew that bitch wasn't normal, she has no nipples.

It was a good episode. One thing that bothered me and I don't know if it was like the manga, but Guts getting captured and by an unintentional knockout stab from a girl was unbelievable seeing he was once in a same scenario with Casca, probably worse, against Adon and he plowed everyone away.

they cut the entire lost children storyline so they had to make up for it somehow. the real reason guts was able to be knocked out so easily here is because he had just defeated an apostle and her horde of quasi-apostles. the reason why the HICK's even found him in the first place is because when apostles die their bodies revert back to human so guts leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake earning him his reputation at this point in time

I'm liking this new character Lady Farnese? Is that a play on the word fairness?
Shes a little ignorant though but that works in her favour.

The conversation between her and Guts was rather interesting. She's seems reasonable even though she didn't agree with what he said. I guess most people are when they're around Guts. He talks little but says it like it is.

Puck was funny and I'm liking his character. I thought he was a Fairy and not an Elf. Surprised to know that the Lady wasn't able to see Puck. I wonder what Guts wants to ask her.

I liked the song that played while they were on the Horse. It reminded of a track from the original anime. Good fan service.

She's punishing herself for losing her cool and torturing Guts, hence "charming" Would have been more charming with the nipples intact as in the manga, but oh well..
