That knight is probably the only truly good character in the whole of Berserk, actually it's just him and Luca.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

As a person who's only seen the anime series and movies, and not read a single work of manga, I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the direction the story took. I've been expecting this to be more about Guts vs The Godhand, but who knows maybe the last episode will pleasantly surprise me. With that said, I've come to appreciate the show for what it is, and I'm enjoying it.

Berserk is one of the best manga in terms of story and art quality, this tv series of course cannot compare at all, but it did its job since i am still watching :)

i think this episode will be better if they can improve the fighting scenes, sometimes quite hard to tell what is going on

The animation and CGI of Mozgus and also the fight were all unexpectedly good. I guess that they reserved most of the budget for this episode.

Just, I think Guts' VA can't handle him well. His volume falls short I think. I don't know how to describe better but it sounds like he is whispering even while shouting.

Guts barely surviving again, though they don't seem hopeless enough.

Fire & vfx were surprisingly good.
Some confusing action framing as usual. Mogzu fantastic4 look was epic, all the animated feathers/wings is one of the few things cg is much better than 2d.

Nooooooo Mozgus is down. And lel so next episode really is a final one.

Why even bother with Berserk if you'll only do 12 episodes.


Another season has been announced for Spring, it'll be back.

Is it just me or was VA for Mouri Kogoro the voice of Mozgus?

Guts is the main man for being able to kill those monsters. Great action and its a pity it is near ending for me.

Isidro saves Casca from the flames. He really did make up for his mistake. Nice team work between him Puck and Jerome. Nina always running away and finding herself in trouble.

The scripture saves Mozgus but it was also his own weakness. He gave Guts quite the sermon but Guts wasn't having any of it. Mozgus was a tough opponent. He died respectfully for someone who was quite Evil himself. Those holy flames.

Farnese is speechless, even when handed the flame.
Cut through until dawn. I wonder what morning will bring for them?

Mozgus is finally dead. I instist that this remains a faithful adaptation iirc but all those close ups and the animation were tiring. I never really liked how the action in the tower of conviction arc drags sooo much, like every fight is incredibly long and then guts has to face other enemies when I'm just like... enough. Anyway onto the final ep.

Good episode, pretty much. I enjoyed the action, which is what Berserk pretty much is to me right now. Time for the finale.

So Guts faced off against some stronger enemies this episode, at least more than the typical ones.Overall good show. The show had some great moments, but really, it is nothing in comparison to the original manga.

I knew I hadn't seen the last of Zod! I hope he plays a big role in the final episode. I'm disappointed that it only was a sneak-peek at him and that he didn't feature anywhere else in the episode.

It felt good seeing Mozgus being beaten and all the townspeople that had their hopes up being swallowed. Blonde girl almost got cut in half and I was almost hoping for it to happen. You can be a coward, but she's taking "being a coward" to the next level. Little to no responsibility, not a shred of honor, always looking for a way out...

Why did the egg eat the baby? And are we gonna see Griffith soon? I'm getting annoyed by all the unanswered questions I still have from season 1. I've already decided to not watch the next series for a while. I'm thinking it's time for the manga after this one.

Time to go to the final episode. Right now, this season was better than the last one. If Berserk 1 is an 8/10, this is a 9. Or season 1's a 7 and this season's an 8.

Guts finally getting to hug Casca was poignant.

I guess a strength of Berserk beyond ascending a revenge story to the level of an ontological struggle, is how it breathes new life into the accursed lovers archetype.

I really liked the way in which Guts vs. Mozgus was adapted.Same goes with Guts vs Angels fight from episode 10. Both of them were just really entertaining to watch.

I was in awe about this fight between Guts and Mozgus! I haven't seen such an intense and good fight for a looong time.

Even though I'm a Christian believer who believes in the power of prayers, I have to agree with Guts. It is said that "God helps those who help themselves" or "he that gapes until he be fed, well may gape until he be dead." Through prayers, God collaborates with people. Based on the saints' stories I read, usually saints not only pray but also act at the same time.

Also, these people seemed pretty much self-centered, as people usually are, especially in times of panic. If they were a bit more considerate of one another, helped, and encouraged each other, perhaps they could put some resistance like Isidro, Puck, and Jerome.

I see myself talking right now, but I don't know what I would have done in their place, haha. I like to think I would have had at least 10% of the courage shown by the brave ones, though I don't know for sure...
