SacredFactor said: LauraBirdie said: One more thing, can someone explain to me what the hell happened when Mozgus was hit by that big eyed demon, he was screaming, then screaming some more, fell down, everyone was attacked by tentacles, and the next time we see him he shoots FIRE in that spiral staircase? I just......like...HOW? And what is up with this sound design, the two screams don't even match the visuals The one eyed demon is another apostle. What he does to the priest and his group is pretty much turn them into mini apostles. Its similar to what happened with the pagan leader who had a goat on his head. Thanks, I looked up this part in the manga yesterday, in the anime it looks like the demon is attacking all of them, even hitting Mozgus to the ground, in the manga it doesn't look like it's hitting or attacking them at all, which would explain why they suddenly show up on the top of the staircase using magic of some sort Anyway, looks like the scene was just not translated into anime very well |
| So will we see Griffith or not? |
| shit adaptation but at least it still manages to entertain me with the recent events. Ufotable should be adapting this instead of borefest Tales. I'm just glad this adaptation isn't as bad as I initially thought. Actually have high hopes for next episode. I've been waiting to see them moving for years. Since I've been trying to avoid watching this till now, I just noticed the shit rating. This adaptation is shit but the recent episodes shows that Berserk fights are still awesome even in a shit adaptation. |

vincentekh said: Trust me none of these Studios mentioned can adapt berserk, the animation is just too much to be animated as "skuga" (animation technique),due to high quality of the art in the manga i mean just see how much detail Miura put in one single page,CGI was the only choice to conserve budget and time.Ufotable took almost 2 years animating fate/zero with HUGE budget and we have 5-6 fight scenes in 24 ep , where berserk almost every ep has fight scenes and it can go for more than 100 ep if they adapt all the manga.Can someone please explain to me why another studio/director like the creators of attack on titan/naruto/one piece/one punch man/mob psycho 100 takes on the berserk anime series project? I mean it is the most read manga in the world i think? You are almost certain to be successful with the series? This is a REALLY awesome guide explaining EXACTLY what went wrong with this production by the way, i found it super interesting! The problems go WAY deeper than the CGI, the cgi is not even the problem. I am currently enjoying berserk despite the cgi at least we have it animated after all these years. |

| wth they have wings 😲 Also he can shoot fire omg |
| The CGI was a new level bad in this episode. I can only hope it is because they focused their budget on the next episode. Human interaction/dialogue scenes that focus on faces are a common problem with CGI animes. But fight scenes can be better animated with CGI. This anime does nothing good with CGI. Fight scenes consists of still models and there is no lip sync in dialogues. |

| How the fuck is Guts is able to move so fast like that with that armor? This nigga must a ninja : Yup, he's a ninja alright : That epic staredown + Susumu Hirasawa's Hai Yo =  And something I forgot to mention in the previous episode discussion : the english version of the ED song is pretty damn good...although it took me a few seconds to notice the change, because you know...that engrish xD |

However as the guy says in the video, Berserk is still Berserk, and i still cant help feeling excited everytime guts swings that sword :) Thanks for sharing this. Most of those issues were actually touched on in previous episode discussions. Some people, including me, are in the fifth stage of grief, viz. accepance. Others started to lower subconsciously their expectations to the point that the anime even appears to get better. |
| Fantastic episode, can hardly wait for next week! |
| Now the devils have wings, is gonna be hard for Guts. |

Milchy said: I must have forgotten something or the series are really bad at explaining shit. Who the hell is that skull knight, where did he come from. How did Guts get Casca back, as far as I remember, the original berserk ended after that gore fest porn with him left alone in the middle of nowhere. You probably didn't watch the movies. Or read the manga. |
 looks like the next episode, Guts will have some bad moments fighting the angels. |
| Honestly this was a hype episode throughout and the ending was even more hype with Guts going up against a bunch of angels. Berserk never fails to pump me up. |
 |
| Farneese is my #1 most hated character. God damn, she's annoying... I like Serpico though. He's a cool dude. I wish he wouldn't stick with her. She honestly doesn't deserve him. I actually have respect for that one angel dude who burns when the sun touches his skin. I wish he'd find a new way of life since he doesn't like torturing people... Maybe he'll have a chance since he was the only one to receive backstory. Other than that, kick their asses, Guts! |
gophercg said: Tho Nina's despicable & should've died ages ago, her characterization is well done. Absolutely. If every character was as noble as Luca, nobody would stand out. Besides, I think that makes Nina more relatable than her. She actually acts like a real human would. She puts her own life first, yet hates herself for her cowardly behavior. Her anxiety and desperation also make the berserk world more belivevle. She reflects our own weaknesses and thats probably why most people hate her. |
| Skull Knight saved Luca cool! That demon baby is protecting Casca! brutally no affinity! LOL Guts is scaring Farnese too much! he's about to snap! That was great! Puck is now being visible to all. The end part was so awesome! next episode is hype clashing brutal fights! 5/5. |

| Finally it's time the priest gets what is coming to him |
 |
| After everything Farnesse has seen, she freaks out after seeing Puck? Guts is so fucking badass. I don't enjoy the CGI but the story is great. I'm loving every minute of it. Skull Knight makes an appearance! :D |
| 臭い- |
| huh it goes to show i forget details aswell |
 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. |
| The entire last scene was actually incredible. Hirasawa's music elevated it to an entirely different level. It's amazing how his music is able to do that, time and time again. As @Zee530 said above, they're starting to get some things right more and more. Makes me wish Hirasawa could have done the entire OST, instead of the Bleach composer. |
| Not bad at all, I liked this episode a lot. 4/5! |
 Hisoka said: True love is finding someone whose demons play well with yours. Illumi said: . |
| The monsters were a little more fucked up than last time 0~0 Farnese feeling powerless and mindblown by all those weird creepy creatures (Puck :3) Nina still acting like a backstabbing pussy ~_~ Good thing Luca was saved by Shinigami Skull Knight-kun. Turns out that Father Squarehead knows pyromancy and he and his buddies are Hell's Angels. Loving the music ♡ |
 |
| Honestly the first time an episode got me as hype as the manga did |
| I'm amazed that this episode ended at just the right time. Nice job for once! One of the better episodes as far as action-buildup goes. |
  |
| Someone give the Skull Knight a medal! |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Pretty great buildup, looking forward for the next episode and its intense fight! |
 |
| Whatever that little demon thing is, it sure knows how to fuck things up! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Dude. The music and its timing in this show? 10/10 |
sosmetal said: I'm glad Casca was unharmed. Her powers and Mozgus' have awoken. I was unaware Mozgus had any powers to begin with. Wings? Not only him but also his henchman. I guess you can't really fake that. How did Casca just fall into Mozgus' hands? Farnese finally can see Puck. Skull Knight is back and saves Luca. The next battle looks like a tough one. Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| The more I look at Mozgus in this series, the more he kinda creeps me out.. He's pretty dedicated to his prayer though. |
 |
| I'm starting to feel sorry for the blonde girl. She might have been an annoying, cowardly cunt at times. But could you really blame her for wanting to stay alive? So yeah, I don't blame her for cracking under minimal torture. But what was that part about wanting do to drop Luca? I mean, the one person that has looked out for her the entire time and she was thinking about letting her drop to her death? What the fuck. I still don't understand the deal with Casca and what the demons want from her. The whole point of the brands was that those people had to be eaten for Griffith to become all powerful. So why is that mutated baby protecting her? Is it part of a plan to use Casca as bait to lure Guts to them? And then it's revealed that Heaven is real too, I guess? I love how crazy Mozgus' face got when the demons broke through the door. But seems they weren't demons, as I first thought, but angels. I guess they're going with the "angels are no better than demons" route then, which is fine by me. I like it. Man, I said it a few episodes ago as well, but I'll say it again: These episodes seem to be filled with so much stuff happening... It's hard to process everything that happens in 1 episode. Guts really seems to be in a bit of trouble now. Fighting 7 or 8 knights. Oh, almost forgot the appearance of the Skull Knight, that random character that came out of nowhere. He was about to fight a boss-battle as well. I guess next episode will be one to remember. Only 3 episodes left. I hope the ending to this series will be a bit more conclusive this time around. If they leave me on another cliffhanger with more questions than answers, I'll probably take a break and go read the manga. Or start watching something else. I started watching this season with the hope of getting some answers about how Guts & Casca got away. But I cast that hope aside pretty quickly. Still Berserk 2016 is good, very good. Edit: Be warned, there's a spoiler above. Leave now. Dude, that's a spoiler. |

| Skull bro saving Luca, nisu. |
 |
| It looked like the sacrifice mark reacted to the situation Casca was in so it protected her from dying so maybe you could say that know one is allowed to kill a person with the brand other than the demons themselves |
