This is where it would get interesting - but it's gonna end soon.

It's horrific what happened to Griffith but he's made a deal that's gonna cost him and Guts now...

....Thats a joke right?

No character that is written by anyone with a shred of writing talent would be able to be the same again after having been tortured for a year, having his TENDONS cut to keep him from ever walking again, his tongue cut out, and obviously starved the entire time....

So ya. Grifith gets a pass for being a little bit different.

Holy shit thats creepy.

This was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in anime... not only because of the graphic aspect of the episode, but because of all the things that have happened in the last 20 episodes, the fact that you know these characters make this episode something almost unbearable to watch... Berserk reached a different level of horrific story-telling...

Also have anyone noticed how the art have been getting better and better? This episode was beautifully drawn and much more vibrant than the earlier ones!

So is this how Guts got his God "brand" thing mentioned in the first episode? Guess we'll find out.

And was that "flashforward" legit? Griffith and Casca name their kid Guts? Haha

Holy shit, Griffith. This is why you don't take demon-eggs from gypsies. It looks like Griffith was fated to bring about the apocalypse proper. Or maybe carry out the apocalypse?

Griffith...I have nothing but pity for that man. I'm not sure if I have ever seen an anime that was so detailed and graphic with a torture like that. That was very disturbing and horrifying. And now the supernatural elements have returned times 10.

seeing your former self look down on you...realizing how pathetic and pitiful you have become...clinging on to the dream that started it all...only to realize at last that it was nothing more than a joke.
dreams will betray you and drag you down.

After watching this scene twice I still don't understand why Griffith didn't want guts to touch him as the eclipse started. If guts didn't touch him could it have prevented him from being a sacrifice? but the others didn't touch him so.. IDK what the hell Griffith was saying that for.

Positively disgusting.

Also you know you've reached the point of no return when you start daydreaming that Casca is your wife and your kid is named Guts. ._.

So Guts can't keep in pace with an almost dead man who then finds the tamago stuff that OF COURSE fell on his lap in the middle of a fucking river! Talk about plot device rofl.

Also, didn't Griffith said a "real friend" chased for their dreams as well or something (when talking to princess). So he wants Guts only to be his dog and not his friend?

I really wish as well Guts would sort his fucking mind. Do you want to chase your dreams or do you want to be with Griffith and the others? Same thing for Caska, she can't sort her mind, too.

The imagery & framing were so powerful.

I guess that Egg really was his only option. I think he did plan on using it one day.

I wrongly thought the Egg already found its way back to him and brought him back to life.
I guess it's that time now but why was he worried about Guts touching him?

Did Guts ruin it once again for Griffith? or did he save him. This is getting really interesting now.

Man this is so sad. Poor Griffith he's crazy! This whole demon things seems extremely random to me though. Like it came out of nowhere. Definitely didn't expect there to be like supernatural things happen like this. I guess I'll see how that goes.

Griffith can still stand on his hands with his tendons cut, pretty strong.

I didn't understand how the guy is first running away refusing to let his dream go then minutes later dreaming about a "not so bad" peaceful life if he gives up only to wake up and to decide to kill himself (the ultimate running-away action).
Idem for this "Don't come. Don't come. Or else I'll never ... you." Yes, right... what?

Still, the episode was great with the main characters facing different truths (Guts in particular, he was so slow toreach this point -_-) and possible futures.

5/5 The way the other dimension covered everything looked like a computer effect, nice though.

And so it begins...
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me knuckles, unlike sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent
It's my first breath, first test
Feel the right then the worst's left
