| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Holy shit, Griffith shows no mercy. This episode really made Griffith look god-like. We got to see some war action on the battlefield too. Bloody and violent as I had expected. Decent episode. The body count piled up fast. Nice to see Grunbeld and Mule this episode. Sonia is such a Griffith fangirl lol |

| Good episode. Griffith just wrecked the Kushan army and all he ever did was just stab their leader in the eye. xD The action in this episode was actually quite good for a CG series I mean. Glad to see Farnese and Serpico joining Guts. Isidoro's teasing had quite the reprecussions though. :3 Griffith brings humans and demons together, no one is able to resist this man's charms. I always liked how Griffith leadership was portrayed when Sonia took Mule on a tour of the Band of the Hawk. |
 |
| And the the new Band of the Hawk is born. Good episode music and action were one point. |
| where is this going to end? same part as Berserk Musou game? and then wait 7 years for next season lul |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Good episode overall. CG of the Kushan faces was terrible though. No trolls and one too many Floras in the next episode preview. What the heck are they doing? |
| Great episode, keeps progressing down the manga. I just can't wait for more bad-ass Guts screentime :( |
| Insert Signature Here. |
GangsterCat said: where is this going to end? same part as Berserk Musou game? and then wait 7 years for next season lul Maybe by then their CGI quality will move up from being on par with a PS2 to PS3. |
| Griffith's new army is super strong, but I really hate him for naming it Taka no Dan after what he did to the original one. |
 |
| Then, Guts' and Griffith's teams are formed. Kind of random the introduction of the new Band of the Falcon generals though. Griffith is OP in every way :) |
| 6 hours and so little replies, this shows how the people doesn't care anymore, I'll still watch of course lol Well, a solid episode, not great neither bad, just... right The good thing about it it's that makes me think about the future of the history |
 |
| I can't believe that after sleight improvements at the end of the previous seasons the animation has tanked so badly again. Props for Raksas being the nicest looking thing in this show, though only serving to make everything else look significantly uglier. |
| Finally, the kebab removal arc begins! |
| They really let themselves go with the pacing, even compared to the previous season (I believe this episode alone covered material from over 10 different chapters.) |
| HOLY #(*&) Those men look lethal as hell. Must be all on Zodd's level or more. |
| *Too complicated to cared* |
| Griffith has a roster! |
| Wow.. Griffith looks so beautiful! Now I'm not sure which is the antagonist loool. The CGI gore is okay, no complains here. I wonder what is Griffith's main purpose with his rebirth though, I'm kinda itching to read the manga now. |
| Griffith is really try to recreate the Band of the Hawk, like nothing happened to the original members -.- I remember skimming over these chapters in the manga. |
| Wow, a lot of blood was spilled in this episode. |
  |
| Might have been _the_ episode I've been waiting for since s1 was announced. |
| Certified "cute girls doing cute things" expert the cute girls doing cute things club needs you! maybe you didn't give re:stage dream days a chance; please re:consider |
| DAMN Griffith is building one massive army. All that blood. Farnese & Serpico tagging along. No more sleep. |

| Are we gonna see any skull knight or berserker armor anytime soon? Enjoyed this episode. Lots of kushan blood spilled MUHAHAHA |

Pacing here was fine, and much better than the previous two episodes. I don't remember how many or which chapters they adapted here, but I'm sure most of them were the battle, which play out faster in animation. Half the episode to show their prowess, and the other half to introduce the new Band of the Hawk. Don't see how they could have handled that much better. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| A lot of awesome introductions with Griffith's group which I really enjoyed. |
 |
| nice action and Griffith has no mercy |
 |
| OMG! Lord Griffith has so many Overlord General Minions! Everyone regards him as the Ultimate Savior! So this is where Farnese finally cut her hair! 5/5. |
 |
| Awesome episode. Lots of Griffith and the other chars around him. Was fun to see him flying and killing the enemy leader. Farnese with shorter hair looks sexier. Looking forward to the next episodes. |
| Despite the derp faces in this episode, this season is pretty good IMO, more Berserk is always a good thing. And we see Lady Flora in the preview! Wheee!! BTW, a quick check on the manga chapters and I found out only chapters 192-195 are adapted in this episode. That isn't fast. |

| I personally enjoying this anime more than attack on titan 2 |
| Yeah, good luck to Guts for when he has to fight all these crazy powerful "people" that Griffith is assembling; all of them are surely at least as strong as Zodd, if not significantly more so in some cases. |
| Griffith is so ugly now wtf. |
 |
| Ok, here's the thing - I loved the episode, but: Man, they're going way too fast. This episode had so many epic moments that easily could have been dragged out more to create an epic feel to it, like the introduction of the godlike creatures that now suddenly have joined Griffiths team. And the fighting is cut through so fast, I mean the stuff in this episode could have been made into 5 or even 10 episodes, with a more in depth storytelling and longer conversations. The music that plays in the background is weird as hell, what the heck is that crazy mumbling woman whispering sound that keeps overlapping the background music? I mean cmon animators, don't ruin these epic Griffith moments with weird music stuff! Now for the animation, which I do think is good despite the CGI, especially Griffiths design is rather nice, with his eyes being the best part - keep having those shiny eyes there, Griffy! Other than this I just gotta say that I am optimistic for the continuation of the series, but please lets hope they don't rush it. There was a perfect pace in season 1 from 1997, let's hope they will take their time when time is needed. Rant over, hehe (I do like Berserk and that is why all this had to be said). Looking forward to next episode. |

|
| I like how easy Guts accepted them. And the devil army is complete... |
 |
ALL ABOARD THE IRVINE HYPE TRAIN!!! CHOO CHOO!!! |
 |
| Okay, im not familiar with manga at all so why Griffith still wants to conquer the land if he is a God now or something? |
| Whoa damn grifth getting hishis loyal servants together |
| Pacing was better in this episode and everything else was pretty inoffensive quality wise too. This is probably the episode that felt the most like a competent Berserk adaptation out of this ongoing series. 4.5/5 Tekakurika said: Okay, im not familiar with manga at all so why Griffith still wants to conquer the land if he is a God now or something? The short answer is that no one currently knows Griffith's motives except for Griffith (even up to where the manga is currently), |
 |
| The Griffith Reborn how "God Angel" orthe weaks "Redemer" xD although rurrounded of Devils and Demons!!!! |
| I really enjoyed this episode. Yes, it all still looks awful, but the slaughter of the Kushan by the new Band of the Hawk was wonderful to see finally animated (even if imperfectly, to put it diplomatically). Even the music was decent this episode and I think they handled the slower moments very well, taking appropriate time with Sonia's tour to Mule and Griffith's... whatever that was... with the dead. Definitely liking season 2 more than the first. Not a super high bar, but hey, I'll take it. |
*Jumps* Didn't think I'd see Irvine animated so soon in my life. He looked quite nice, considering the state of the art we are in right now. I just didn't like the last scene where he's shown, would rather they left at your third gif, much like in the manga. The trajectories of the arrows in the second take also leaves to be desired, as I recall, the arrows came with quite the arch in the manga, as they were pretty far away in a distant hill. The presentation of that scene was just better in the manga (well, I wonder where it wouldn't be I guess). I'm pleased overall with the Neo Hawk commanders in the adaptation. It's just too bad they can't model all the other immediate henchmen (like in the first scene illustrated here). In the manga they are highly detailed and designed, seeming to have their own personalities. |

You're right in the anime the angle makes it seem like Irvine and the archers are much closer. His debut in the manga is more impressive though I think Locus's anime debut was well done. I checked the manga chapter (Ch 192) and the henchman are very detailed, I don't mind if they look derpy in the anime if it means the Neo Hawk commanders will be well animated. Next stop on The Irvine Hype Train Choo Choo!! |

| Oh lovely Griffith is an unbeatable god and he has a new more evil/powerful/demon Band of the Hawk...yeah Guts is screwed. |
