Look, the story of this anime is great because it's Berserk. Berserk has good story and as far as I know, they didn't change much from original manga. So story is good and well-paced. The decision to change or remove parts of original story for anime adaptation is on director and staffs so they did made right decision by stick to the source material.
Also, we've finally move away from Golden Age arc to Black Swordsman arc, so that's a plus. Credits to them for not repeating the same story for third time. Nothing wrong with GA arc tho. It just got adapted like twice at this point.
Suzumu Hirasawa came back to made OST for this show too and his music are still GODLY.
BUT THE ANIMATION, MAN. I get that Berserk is hard to animate due to Miura's God-Made art style, especially with TV budget. But there's no way you gonna do Berserk justice when characters look like cardboard cutout that just survived F5 level tornado like that.
