Mixed Feelings
This is essentially your run of the mill, filler "re-cap" episode, used to fill in time while a studio gets out a delayed episode, or to pad out the production schedule.

As such, I will be simple with this, even for a recap episode this seems to have no attention to structure beyond the first few clips. I say this as we have Schierke narrating as she observes Griffith and then we hear her perspective a few times as she ruminates on Guts. Then it snaps to Farnese' perspective for a moment, showing mostly how she felt during the first arc and the demise of her faith. From then on it just throws out moments from then to the present point in the story.

That all said, it's hardly a recap, it's more like a clip show. Perversely, I did enjoy that part because it essentially just collected a whole bunch of scenes where Guts kicks ass and eradicates enemies with his humongous sword. It does start to become amusing how many times you hear "Oh Ashes" and other assorted battle tunes, you can probably craft some sort of drinking game out of it.

All in all, a fairly sub-standard offering, editing-wise even for a recap episode. You could find a similar set up in a "Top Guts Fights in Berserk" style video on Youtube. I'm sure there's one out there.
