| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- His sword is a lot smaller but it's still way too big for him XD |

| Great episode. Anime is making progress. |
 |
| WOW...i actually thought grif was a chick till he spoke..O.o Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| What do you expect ? It's made in '97. I'm excited. That's rare.. |
| Well , Oriental Light and Magic , it seems they are unsuccessful in making good anime .They never did something spectacular.I guess that Berserk it's their best work.I understand your point. |

| Guts is crazy for not joining but he is cooler solo, Id like to see him in a team and dominate |
 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. |
| Mmm.. I guess this is much better than the first episode. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| What censorship? |
Sabinlerose said: What censorship? I'm guessing he's referring to the fact that Guts lacks genitalia in this episode ... he's a Ken doll when naked :O I can see why people have touted this anime so much. Nice old-school fantasy stuff so far. Seems like episode 1 was a cold opening late in Guts' career, and this is his early days as a merc. Hope we find out how he got his robo-arm. 4/5 |
| wtf is with japanese going all out with their boobs and being wimpy with penises? PS. I think Guts voice is a little too old for him considering how young he is |
| "Where will a newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite" - Motoko Kusanagi |
| The animation is a bit off, but oh god, THE MUSIC! There's not a lot of it in the series, but wow... O.O |
There were way too many pan and scans, zooms and repeated frames in this episode. It is almost just like a talking manga. The sounds sorta make up for it, but they definitely didn't spend much money developing this series. |
| I have to agree with the animation's flaws, but i really liked the interactions the characters had with eachother. You can clearly see how Griffith thought himself to be so much better than Guts when he was on his horse looking down on him. And the nightmare made Guts more mysterious and intriguing. And the way Griffith talked to Guts about how he gets what he wants always. Personally this anime has a lot more going on with the relationship-zone than on the fight scenes. At'least for now. |
| Im actually quite fond of this art style, and the animation still feels smoother than good stuff like Trigun. I'm intrigued by the story and character relations that will develop (though Im a little spoiled on this). Actually I love the entire artistic aspect of this so far! Which is quite rare Btw it seems that the sword is kinda matching Guts body size, you've seen that the sword got smaller as he got younger in some scenes, like it's part of him. |
 |
| So this is a look into his past..Great :D |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| In the manga, I got the impression that Casca gave up her virginity to keep Guts warm. I guess that could be part of the censorship or I could be dead wrong. *shrugs* |
 |
| I love this anime - its atmosphere is getting me. And the music, dialogues or story - just perfect.

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Well Guts seems to have had a rough upbringing to say the least. Griffith is an odd bird also, this shall be interesting. |
 |
| Suddenly recognised Asuka's battlecry :D |
| Great episode, seems we have some backstory and character development and to my surprise Wakamoto Norio sure was a nice addition to this episode/anime! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| Okay, this episode was certainly far better than the first! Loved it! Griffith's voice is perfect, while Guts's and Casca's could be improved, but at least they're not like the english dubbed version (which totally sucks). The opening and ending are weird, but I certainly enjoyed it when Guts's theme kicked in! Ah, memories... the Band of the Hawk... <3 |
| Nice, I just HAVE to go watch ep3 to see how the duel goes with Guts and Griffith. The way it built up was just too awesome. |
 |
| Interesting episode. |
| Damn, this is gonna be an incredible series from the looks of things. That OST before the battle between Guts and Griffith was amazing. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Decided to watch this episode first since its seems the actual first episode is further in the timeline, like Shin Mazinger Z or Gungrave. |
| Interesting, starting off with the story after that adrenaline-packed episode 1, I'm liking this. So many remarks here on the animation, not sure if it's cause I'm watching a remastered version (if there's much difference at all) or you're all just nitpicking. |

| Re Watching in English dub, Its weird seeing my older comment when I first watched this? Well the OST is more apparent and it was beautiful when they first introduce Griffith to Guts and when they talked. |

| Older anime has a kind of campiness to it that I find very endearing, heh. |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |
| whats up with that sword? it should have definetly been bigger in the flash back when he was a kid. Did the sword also grow? |
| Guts got laid while he was sleeping? What a fuckin BOSS!! |
| Oh my - griffith has white hair instead of blond and caska is an aborigini. The moment when they crossed swords I was kinda excited though. |
 |
| Griffith and Guts, such weird names, I already ship them :3 |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I wasn't expecting something so stiff. At least, the close-up stil imagels have some very nice drawings (probably not like the manga but for an animation it looks good). And the second main character seems promising, if it focuses on their relationship. 4/5 |
| @noGiAnime I don't mind it thanks to Lodoss, where the buildings and characters were pretty detailed (actually too much in the case of the characters). I prefer such details to the kind of thing who is the focus nowadays: we have very simple characters with eyes overexaggeratedly filled with a multitude of effects, and the detailed backgrounds are only present as digital paints who don't look like drawings anymore, despite how pretty they can look. PS: ever watched the Gunm or Lodoss to senki OAVs? |
Ya ive seen both its been a long time though so ive got em on my list to rewatch |
| Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? This Griffith guy looks like a girl, how can he be so strong like that? even stronger than Guts himself, lol. Though the interaction between them was great, and the cliffhanger was awesome. Great episode. |
| Nice to see Guts without his junk xD Kinda hoping he doesn't meet the Band of Hawk, but.. they're important too F* Griffith! xD I really hate him, if not for him Guts would have a very better life |
"Signature removed"   |
| OH MY GOD ISHIDA AKIRA!!!! JUDEAU'S VOICE IS ISHIDA!!! What a pleasant surprise, i always recognize him, i knew it was him <3 Anyways, nice episode. Golden Age Arc here we go <3333 I've seen the movies (and manga) prior, so let's see how this compares to it. |
 SEIZON SENRYAKU: Hungry 100% of the time.Vzla-IT |
| Cool ep, more story developing than in the previous episode, still too much time spent in fights for me... |
| Man.... Griffith is such a fucking badass. Unbelievable character. Don't know who is more badass, Guts or Griffith? or Casca? Nevermind, all three of them are badasses. The music is excellent by the way. The music during Griffith's introduction was haunting and don't get me started on Gatsu... shivers and tears, man. Frick... I need to watch the next episode, but all I can do is listen to Gatsu for hours on end. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |
