It's a recap so it will change names I suppose

Let's hope that the studio made the previous episode look ugly af and skipped out on a week so that they can make the Berserker Armor episode look glorious (or at least decent).

Recap after 9 episodes... doesn't get any lower than this. Why didn't they just slow down the pacing from the beginning? Sigh... I will just stop here

This was episode 9.5 (recap episode to give the studio more time and stuff)

Episode 10,11,12 are left.

Usually they have recaps half way through the season so this might be a sign that there may be 20+ episodes :/

Who am I kidding, They don't have the money to do that.

So I'm confused...it was a recap episode but it's technically episode 22 (or eps. 10 of season 2) which is weird. It feels like the studio didn't have time to make a new episode...because it would be weird to do a recap of a 12 episode season after episode 9! Not a bad recap episode though I guess...the preview got me super excited for next episode! That Berserk Armor looks amazing!!!
I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!!

Half the episode actually recaps stuff from the 2016 season which i guess is fine and second part of the episode was all just the troll "arc".

That was pathetic.

Looks like my gut feeling last week about this being a recap episode was correct. Last episode looked like shit though (didn't think this show could look shittier) so I guess it was expected.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

One of the worse recaps I have seen. Going with a score lower 2 than the normal series (5 vs 7). Too much skipping (it started even a bit early in the 2016 series). This wasn't really necessary. They should have recapped the 2016 series before airing the new series (so they could have started 1 week later - not having to fill this gap now with a recap cause they started early).

I think that's not the problem. They were doing so well until last weeks episode, something must of happened that caused this. I don't know if it's money or what, They better give us a amazing end.

That's exactly why they had a recap episode: they didn't have enough time and/or money to finish episode 10 for this week so they put up a slideshow of old animation. The weird thing is usually you put a recap after episode number 12/13 but with Berserk 2017 it's after episode 9 and for a series that is just 13 episodes long.

There's only one reason for this and it's resource mismanagement.

Here's the kicker: this isn't even the first recap. There was a recap right before this Berserk season started airing too.

The production issues in the previous episode...and now this recap - I can only hope this is all because they put everything they had into the upcoming fight in the next episode.

The important matter here, of course, is the ridiculous amount of recaps this anime season. Tight production deadlines, limited budgets, overwork - it's obviously getting bad. STOP MAKING SO MUCH ANIME PER SEASON, JAPAN. Lighten the load. For god's sake.

I am legit only watching this show just because I love the Berserk manga. If I only sorta liked Berserk I would not even still be here.

The opening is also not nearly as good as as from 2016. I mean whenever I see Griffith make that shit eating grin I just put my palms on my head like oh boy.

It was just all the actions scenes put together (2016/2017). Fortunately, the quality of the animation progressed over the episodes.

I'm still hyped to see the next fight.

As expected, things are less epic in their condensed form. Was nice seeing some of 2016 again though, also the extended version of the ED.

Was it really necessary at this point of the story? Especially when there were few minutes presenting things from the first season...? I think this recap was not necessary. At least not before the season's end. Not to forget everything was extremely rushed and it resembled more a compilation of random scenes than actual recap meant to remind about certain stuff happening in the past in the anime.
