| Skull Knight long time no see! Is it me or it got better or I got used to it?! |
 |
| Orgy and Farnese childhood flashack were too rushed. |

| my god they just shoved farnese's backsotry in a post credit short scene? it's like they're really trying to just blow through this arc to go right into the Millenium falcon arc. |

It does feel like that. I do hope that at least if they do that, it leads up to some badass moments later on (fights with Berserker armor, apostles, etc). On the other hand Im quite eager for this series to end. I hope its 12 episodes not 24. |
| That deymn Dark Skeleton Knight (don't know the name) was badass looking entity! 4/5. |
 |
| Berserk 2016 was a mistake. |
Manaaja said: Berserk 2016 was a mistake. Down to 6.09, it might actually get into the 5's before it's over. Quite the accomplishment for a MAL score. |
| I still remember when the score for Berserk was 8.92 That was right before everyone saw the first episode |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| "Bitches on my dick cuz I look like a goat...oh wait" The way Luca just started spanking Nina out of nowhere had me dying xD |

| this episode is like in fast forward mode |
| I may just witness the dumbest scene I have ever seen in an anime....or one of the dumbest....like wtf did I just watch? |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Gah, the naked cgi Barbie doll bodies look so damn stupid and bad that it just distracts and annoys me all episode and I can't really enjoy anything. Some of these scenes are supposed to be disturbing and horrific, instead the animation just makes it looks silly and ridiculous so you're face palming instead of feeling horrified. |

| Skull Knight, sex, drugs, rock and roll, and spanking.... yeah good shit. |
 |
klaymore said: this episode is like in fast forward mode This 100 times. I blinked a few times when the credits rolled. Just rapid fire stuff thrown at you for 20 minutes. It was hilariously awesome. |
| I don't need no instructions to know how to rock! |
| I'm liking the OP and ED a bit more now. Bird man isn't so bad looking when his skin isn't boiling and he looks fairly clean. They pronounce Joachim as "Yoh-wa-heem-ooh" that is fucking confusing. Also, that nippleless sex isn't doing it for me. He sure dipped his ding dong eagerly in her bleeding vajeen pretty quick. That's just fucking gross. He's still alive though, tough fella. I still don't know why Nina's vag was bleeding? Is it because she takes part of that demonic orgy every night or something? I kind of hoped that Luca would just leave her. Nina is fucking annoying. She deserved more than just a light spanking on her ass and a round of bitch slaps. I am more interested in Serpico, he's like a sleeping dragon. I think the episodes are getting better and regardless of all the hate it receives (which I also admit, I hated it at first), Berserk still has 71,000+ viewers. Hypocrites, the lot of them. |
| 臭い- |
| AH excellent episode all around. This feels like a sequal to the other berserk from the 1990's |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I think I have a problem with the direction. The way each shot is handled, how it pans from one 'panel' to another, and the cuts to a different scene. The way the camera/view pans in each scene was somehow very annoying. I just watched this right after a beautifully animated episode of Mob Pyscho, and the contrast was telling. Other than the visuals, it was fairly decent, though a little too rushed. Some of the scenes from the manga become hilarious when animated, I now realise - like Mozgus crash-landing on the ground a thousand times or Nina getting her naked butt spanked. Oh, does anyone else feel that Casca sounds terribly odd? Her voice - well, basically the weird shrieking - doesn't fit her character *at all*. It sounds more like a dying velociraptor.. |

| The spanking was unexpected! |
 |
| I wonder how uncomfortable the animators felt making this episode. What's with that Krang looking thing? It was protecting Casca? Also, nice face-plant. |
  |
| I could have lived with the CGI, which is a thing I'll never get used to completely, but this fucked up pacing and rushed production really just lacks any potential to translate Miura's work to the screen. The manga is nothing like this. It's long, pondering and gory as can be. Miura spends a hefty amount of time with each panel and adds symbolism and foreshadowing to the most mundane things. This anime is the complete opposite. Everything happens in an instant, nothing gets fleshed out and why people in the series do things as they do becomes unclear. It could be worse, I'll give it that, but it is nowhere near decent in my books. Of course, if someone enjoys it, let them. But I advise you to read the manga, since it's a masterpiece. |
| uh oh! |
| SO that is the Skull Knight. What was with the ritual and Casca? This is so interesting, but I can't help but feel they're cutting some stuff. Haters of this anime should be eliminated by now ~ |

Gaiking said: pagan rituals, they get doped up and have orgies, fun for the whole family. yes they've cut quite a bit.SO that is the Skull Knight. What was with the ritual and Casca?

| Quite the fucked up episode, especially that ending! |
 |
| Crazy orgy, that! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Great episode. My highlights: - Disabled Casca being funny - Nina's bitchiness - Luca spanking Nina xD - Skull Knight finally making an appearance - A nice "touch" on Farnese's backstory.. - Mozgus' prayer and sublime brainwashing techniques.. oh wait, they actually cut off the short story he tells Farnese in the manga... The whole anime is rushed as hell though. |

| I appreciate they don't add in genitalia, but everyone just looks like a titan from AoT. This episode was whack. The last half of it was just.. So unnecessarily trippy. Still enjoyed it either way! |
Whoahoho said: Cult orgy!!!!!!!!!!!! That whole thing was fucking weird... And then she spanks her? Seriously? She just killed some kid and all she gets is spanked. What the fuck |
| Ooh the Skull Knight, been a long time since I've seen him. |
 |
| OK, first of all: who's that skull-wearing motherfucker that looks like the Wild Hunt and Hellrider had a baby? The stuff he said was so cryptic and hard to understand, even after rewatching it a few times. Just look at this paragraph: "When the place of power attains a critical treshold, what normally lies in the realm of Gods is incarnated, once every thousand years.You and the girl will find yourselves thrown into that maelstrom, as though tracing a passage through time." Wakaranai yo! Could you be a bit more specific? As far as I know, this is the first time I see him. So I guess he's someone from the manga. He looks badass, but I don't know him. Why was Guts thinking about that time he saved Casca from falling while talking about "relying on his powers in the past"? What did this guy have to do with that? Also that last remark he made: "Don't have more than the one that you care for." That gave me some Zod the Immortal vibes. I wonder if he's still around? He saved Guts when he was in a pickle before. Perhaps he'll show his face in this season again as well? I can only hope. The part with that blonde girl and the cannibal orgy was pretty screwed, but it would make total sense with all the starving refugees and the crazy "torture monks" they have to worry about constantly. Desperate times, eh? But what was up with her punani? Just a "regular" STD? Didn't seem to bother her that much during the orgy. Oh lol, I almost forgot about the spanking she received. That made me chuckle, that situation was so absurd! "You've been drinking human soup and having wild sex parties? You deserve a spanking, young lady!" I don't know what to make of the ending. The boy being dragged on shore and seemingly alive and well... The deformed baby demon that first gave Guts a hint where to look and then saved Casca when she was beset by demons... As I thought, Berserk giving me more questions than answers. I'm not surprised at this point. Edit: WTF, good thing I checked some of the opinions or I would've totally missed the post-credit part. I usually don't watch past the credits, because that's where they put the "next episode preview". And what good does it do to (partly) spoil the next episode already? But no, this time they give some backstory for Serpico and Farese which I would totally have missed otherwise. |

| Wow so many elements were introduced this ep: the next incarnation prophecy (will it be created ex nihilo or will it use a body like Mozgu's for example?), the macabre past that links Farnese and Serpico (will he betray her for revenge?), Casca's and her ghoulish protector (who, what, how), the intense eyeballs that spied on Mozgu and saved Joachim (and to what purpose?). So many questions, and will any of them be answered? |
 |
| Mozgus' prostration was nicely animated. So was that hilarious moment when Luca punished Nina for her questionable heretic behavior. |
