| @up and @upup well i do prefer comedy, everything else pretty much the back and main story are important to me. sure there were other flaws but im no graphics whore, i want gameplay. #dwarffortress |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| I thought it was a good way to end the season! Building up to a great third season which I will definitely watch! 8/10 |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| They completely omitted the emperor, the full-moon child, and Azan.... the animations of the last few episodes gone downhill as well. |
| Isidora channeling his inner dark souls. Good series. I'll give this one a 7/10, where as the first gets an 8/10. This one seemed to be a lot more build up and exposition than anything, which isn't bad.. It's just, not all that great either. Especially with the small amount of episodes we get. Here's hoping Berserk 2019 will exist.. |
| Of course, this being Berserk, the story's definitely a 10 but the adaptation had a lot of things that could have been done a lot better but I actually had a lot of fun watching this because it is Berserk after all and numerous parts throughout were done really well. I wish they could've sticked to making everything animated in 2D instead because they did a pretty decent job with the art anyway. Schierke and Sonia's fated meeting was nice to watch, with the little witch deciding to stay after seeing the hunky Black Swordsman waiting for her being my favorite part. It would have been a lot funnier if they had the pirate say that he couldn't swim before getting whacked with the oar by Isidro like in the manga. Azan's reappearance was skipped along with Guts' amazing fight with Daiba on the beach, and the whole Charlotte rescue operation so that's a bummer. I hope another studio redos this and include all the missing parts too. |

| Basically a Berserk season full of fantasy, I love this more than 2016 although this is an incomplete arc. Having an explanation about the universe, Griffith's return, Berserker Armor, Band of the Hawks return, Physical and Astral world combining, and magic. I wish there will be a nice adaptation for Berserk, I'd love to see this along with the 2016 to get a nice animation and plot. |

| this was one of the worst parts of the manga, even if it had animation that was acceptable still wouldnt ve made this show much better 3.5/10 |
 |
| >maiden clothes Schierke lmao Bit of a weird spot to end but as good as any I suppose. Fascinating season in terms of lore and epicness, but fight wise I think 2016 worked better, had a more blow for blow feeling. 2017 generally feels more polished though. Hoping for a new season soon. |

| Damn that’s it it’s still a good episode and it says it will continue but it’s been around 5 years since this finished airing but it’s fine I’ll definitely begin reading the manga |
 |
| S2 was definitely a step above the first season. Enough has been said about the character models and movement, but the cinematography and shot composition were noticeably better across the board this season. I think the story was presented well too. This episode was a nice way to end things, and it even went full 2D for the last few minutes, which was cool to see. Since it never got another season, I'll definitely be picking up the manga now. Although there were some parts I really didn't care for (namely, the troll cave), I was satisfied enough by the latter half of the story and the ending to give it an 8/10. |
WolfWood37 said: The ending animation was such a tease....the whole series should have been done like that. And that was a pretty weak endpoint all things considered with what happened during the season. 6/10 I agree, they ended it just as stuff was about to get good... What a shambles. |
| Omitting very important bit of the story (ch. 231-235) that concluded the Holy Evil War Chapter of Millenium Falcon arc, and starting another sub arc without finishing it, was a mistake in my opinion. Unadapted part of the story could've been a wonderful finale to this anime. Welp, it wasn't the first time where something was not adapted. Season 2's finale was an ambitious attempt to adapt 5 chapters in just one episode of standard length. I think the creators succeeded in delivering an okay adaptation. Not perfect, of course. You could feel that the story was quite rushed, and that few character interactions seemed to suffer from it as well, but it was not as bad. It wasn't good either, but it was far from something I'd call as extremely bad. |
| Not the strongest finish imo but it was nice to see two members from opposing sides form a little bonding and that precious witch smile, in the end, was pretty nice. Guts is really winning the hearts of the female cast here, lmao. Unlike the 1st season, it felt like the story was being covered at a faster pace and there seemed to be multiple arcs so I wasn't as engaged but that's not to say it didn't make up for it in other ways. In particular, it was nice to see the concept of magic here and it's been a while since we've seen an upgrade to Guts strength and outfit. Seems like something he might be prone to overusing but it could be a dealbreaker in tight moments to come. God, the usage of the Guts theme song by the way, it was almost meme-like at times, redundant but it's a banger so no complaints. Entertaining Farnese - Casca, Schierke x Isidro and Farnese x Serpico moments here and there throughout the season, and it was nice to see Guts appreciating some company as well. Griffith appears to have created another Band of Hawks with members with a great war resume, meanwhile xD. A clash between the two is inevitable and that's probably why Guts snuck out of the group in the end there. I hope some sort of sequel to the memorial edition is announced so that the chances of going beyond this point in the manga will be there. Definitely curious to see how things progress from here on, might check out the manga if there's no news of it whatsoever for a while. 6/10, as well. |

| that's..... it? man, we really need season 3 :( |
| Yes weak CGI, but better than nothing! no one had balls to make it but I'm glad they did! (I haven't read the manga and I'm not a fan of reading manga!) I enjoyed the story, voice actors, soundtracks and ...! Please make Season 3! |
| Really nicely animated tavern scene at the end, if only we got that for the whole adaptation, still decent watch with getting used to cg, better pacing and also simply because I find Berserk's story amazing as hell. |
