It remind me of the earlier graphics for ps2 when it just came out and they weren't able to tap into its full potential yet.... lol still going to watch it though. Also key visual cover looks pretty cool.

Its the continuation of the story, not a remake.

Not much hyped for the animation but I'll still watch it for the ost and to refresh myself of Berserk's story, been a while since I re-read any of the older arcs.

That trailer is like:

50% REALLY good stylistic choices and scenes that just work perfectly
50% REALLY horrible vomit-worthy scenes that just feel poorly done


The shading also sometimes works and sometimes feels VERY out of place.

Isn't this basically adaptation of the very first mini-arc pre-flashback and the arc right after flashback?

Man, the CGI was really bad, I can't even stand to watch it for 30 seconds.
If only the CGI was on Biohazard level, then I'll watch it.
But this shit was terrible. So I'll drop (remove?) this from my list right away!

Cgi looks nice and then cgi looks bad and it just goes back n forth. Why do they have to do this to something we been waiting for so long for? In fact, WHY fuck about with ANY big projects but everything bad or just meh are left alone and sometimes have much better staff and studio like wtf man!?

DB Super and now this is gonna join the list of crap revival of great stories. Fuck you. I hope to god though that everything else works out and its the cgi that is trash.

Wow so much people going rage about the new PV. I think the new PV doesn't look bad. Sometimes looks cool, sometimes looks.... meh ? (Also the OST is sound pretty good.)
But, fuck it. As long as I get a new fuckin berserk related. I'm gonna watch the shit out of it (and the fact that this is the continuation of the movie/series. Makes me pretty hype)
Well what I really concerned in the most part is. The "censorship" like I can't imagine something like berserk will have a censorship. Like seriously?

Good to see some people agree with me

At least the visuals look better than Kingdom anime. For some reason Kingdom was rated high on MAL, even though the story is not as good as Berserk. So, why all the hate for Berserk which has better visuals and story ? At least it is better than not having any anime at all.

Still secretly hoping that the anime will have at least some hand drawn animation, which looks better than the CGI used.

Brutal.

The hand-drawn gritty artstyle give us a glimpse of how it could have looked and then we get putrid CGI like a slap in the fac.

Absolute brutality, what a bloodbath.

No. the first close-up of Guts face when he slashes with his sword, that was hand-drawn in the first PV in winter, in this one it isn"t.

Hmm...No Jill in the voice cast...Maybe a foreshadowing that they are going to skip the Fairy Arc, and therefore take out important character development...

Atleast it looks way better than Kingdom, Knight of sidonia or Ajin animation in my opinion. Also amazing animation does not make a good show. I would rather watch a CGI anime with a great story than an amazing animation with a mediocre story anyday.

With CG shows like this the action scenes tend to look really cool while the rest just looks out of place and awkward. I hope they don't ruin this like what happened with the 1st season of Kingdom.

If we're doomed to have bad CG Berserk, at least give it to a somewhat competent CG studio like Polygon Pictures or something.

Tsk, the CGI is pretty bad. Some parts just gave me headaches. And the shading is terrible in some parts. It was more brutal than the gore in Berserk, lol.
The tone is great though and same with the music.

Hand drawn isn't only more expensive, it's much much more time consuming. In CG you simply use the same models you create for characters over and over making minor changes such as blood and cuts on characters, for 2D you need to redraw different poses, expressions, and any other detail separately. This is the same for backgrounds, special effects, and whatever else appears in every scene.

OK. Here's what I thought.
I think the December part looks better in the facial part and the crow part.
Meanwhile the June ver. Looks better in the blood pool scene (less censoring)and slashing scene (afterwards).
Oh yeah, they also changed the armor design

I think a CGI series can work but they either needed a big budget or the talent to make this work. What they showed in the trailer is not impressive what so ever and looks even worst than a lot of CGI show in America.
