Pretty all around intense episode. The more Guts gets involved into the darker side of the horrific events of story, it feels like the more he is suffering.

Skull Knight and Luca had some decent chemistry in my surprise.
Ah more Casca...she's also suffering too ;_; I think one of the truest statements about the episode is about how the world is ugly especially in Berserk.

Eh the episode was okay. I expected more of a fight between the angels and Guts; well, I guess Guts had to show his trump - the cannon

Pretty good episode.

Isidoro and Puck got some OP fight moves there. XD

The story of the egg is actually quite a sad one, In the end he just wanted someone to talk too. :(
The brand shape in the fire was really cool.

Guts action sequences are epic as always, Love the way he just wrecks through everything.

I loved the transient transitions to that blurred out rage mode scream when Guts saw the forms of God Hand.


It's sad to see Casca being treated like that.
Next episode should be really good.

Guts charges in one last time trying to save her.

Was a solid episode, still the plastic looking Skull Knight makes me laugh, but its just me I guess. I pretty much got over CGI but I can't get over how he looks lol.

This episode was good, could have been better ? as a manga reader i would say no, it was very well done!
The action was good, the background music during fights was epic !
The way they are showing the darkness and ugliness of the world is good, the 2D art is good and the music helps to feel the ugliness a lot.
As i expected, i am now more comfortable with the animation, i guess im used to it but i always believed its good for berserk to be done using CG, otherwise u wont be able to feel it. But again its only my opinion.

Well, looks like we're heading towards another Eclipse with the way this is all going. A shame that we're getting so close to the end just when it's really starting to get really good again.

Worst episode so far. 2/5. I enyjoyed the series so far. But this episode ... too much talking (the prostitute girl with the egg-demon at the beginning) and not much progress. I hoped there would have been a bigger fight against the priest-guy and finally rescuing Casca. But still in progress ...

Next episode will be better - I'm sure. Something big is about to happen with that egg-guy.

That egg creature and his backstory is really disturbing...

Guts defeating several of those guys was awesome to watch. I'm actually really looking forward to these last two episodes.

This guy really does look creepy.

It really shows how good the story of Berserk actually is when even this mediocre adaptation is able to remain entertaining. Credit goes where it's due; the transition and editing in the scene Luca and the Egg of the Perfect World was pretty top notch and I'm pretty sure they've either improved some of the CG models or are using more computer drawn images for the slower moments.

I am curious though; for those of you who haven't read the manga, how well are you following what's currently happening and is there anything you're confused about? A lot has not been properly explained and with two episodes left there's still a fair bit of ground to cover as well.

I already read ahead, I'm sure if they had a consistent release it'd catch up soon enough like HxH2011 though I'd like to see it animated (I'm not bothered about the Golden Age being reanimated though for the time being)

i must be the only person who likes the CGI, and his sword reminds me of the moonlight sword from bloodborne ect. lol my average rating is far lower than most people on this site so I'm thinking most people gave up after the CGI and gave it a kneejerk rating

I'm kind of one of those people. There are many things left unexplained. After watching original tv series and movies I couldn't help myself but to read some backstory on berserk wikia about skull knight in the first place, but also hand of the God and who are the apostles and what is their purpose.

I didn't want to read manga (I'm not manga reader) but I needed those info to fill up the gaps so I guess if fellow anime watcher wants to get bigger picture he/she should peep in berserk-wikia carefully choosing desired info like about apostles, hand of the god, behelit and maybe even meaning behind name of the show - Berserk. Anything more I think is not needed to comprehend the show and would spoil the enjoyment for those who didn't read manga.

Maybe I am wrong but that is how I did and I don't have any problems following the story in 2016 adaptation and I certainly don't know what will happen next so I still can enjoy in element of surprise in the show.

Then Berserk should really be your reason to begin with Manga. Or - at least - with the Berserk manga. It really surpasses every other adaption.

Re:zero is kinda good, even for me that hate those kind of 'harem' anime, that if you can even call that a harem anime...its not a 10 tough its good to see a protagonist that dont look like kirito for once.

And you have to be either blind or stupid to deny that the beggining of this series was shit...it was rushed, had bad animation, etc...was a mess, now its actualy ok to watch, even tough they still failed miserably to do the manga justice.

What make it more sad, is that we had soo many good adaptations lately, like one punch man.

Awesome episode!
Guts really went all-out and on full rampage slaughtering all those Angels!
LOL at those facial expressions of Isidro & others while watching Guts killing all those Angels!
Father Mozgus lost his composure for a while there!
Skull Knight still awesome!
Isidro was just tossed away by Mozgus like a trash! bwahahah!
Oh noes! Casca will be BBQ'ed! hurry-up Guts!
5/5!

The fight scenes were tense as usual and another addition to Guts' armory is a motherfucking cannon☆

Mozgus-tenshi with his Fire Breath to melt those acid slimes and his flicking off Ishidoro like a bug kukuku

Egg of the King really was disturbing, the creepily real-looking skin idol only makes it *shivers*

Casca looks kinda hot when she's scared... Considering that she might get even hotter soon enough.

Why I'm ''fanboy'', and we talking about anime or manga here? If you mean berserk manga, I'm waiting for a new chapter. Honestly even Berserk manga not even that good anymore, it's just become edgy shounen with stupid humor
and unnecessary characters, you can skip some volumes and not miss a thing.
