Derfel10 said: Shioneri said: Highly agreed, I find most 3d animation in anime looks very stiff with cheap models which result in being unbearably horrible, Berserk 2016 has both but Berserk 2012 has decent models, the only problem is just felt too laggy and unnatural, if they could fix this it sure be as good as Orange works And from the preview of the bonfire scene you can see that the models are even better now. Berserk 2016 not only looks stiff, but they also had that horrible shading going on, trying to simulate a 2d animation. There's nothing good about this sin of anime, apart from the soundtrack. Yeah right, I heard they also plan to add the scenes of Judeau's last words of farewells so I hope they gonna nailed it since it was a terrible decision not including that on the movies trilogy |

| If someone wants more "fps" then you should try to watch it with interpolation on in your videoplayer (if not using Crunchyroll etc.) or with SVP 4 (SmoothVideo Project) program (30 days trial). Second one requires at least decent graphic card like gtx 1060. There are tutorials on the internet or Youtube. I watched Beastars s01 with such software for better fluidity. |

Stardrake said: Yeah, no. I forgot how bad the pacing was in the movies. It feels even worse here for some reason. They toned down the CGI, which is a good thing but overall, not much improvement (is it me, or is ost different?). One can only hope next 2 episodes actually add scenes from manga that were omitted from the movies like First battle and fucking character interactions. TekTation said: just give it to OLM to make it and stop making it 3D... such a good manga being all messed up... Yeah, agreed. OLM probs is the best choice. They did way more with less. Give them normal budget and they'll make a masterpiece. It's not the studio that counts, it's the staff (and also budget is a very minor factor in digital anime productions; I don't think Berserk 1997's relatively static animation was the result of a low budget). The odds that they could reassemble most of the original creative team are very slim, and reassembling everyone would be an impossibility. For instance, the art director, Kobayashi Shichiro, has been retired for a decade and passed away recently. I don't doubt that people working at OLM could put together an excellent Berserk anime if given the opportunity, but it would not be like the 1997 anime. It wouldn't be produced on cel, it wouldn't have the same art direction, etc. I would love it if there was another Berserk anime in a style resembling the 1997 series, but it's very unlikely to happen. |

Did this man actually just suggest that people should watch an entire anime series interpolated or am I tripping πππ |

They changed lots of facial features and improved Casca's hair If you are interested in a new Berserk anime please watch this legally to voice your support and interest. Thanks for the comparison. |
| quality i need a remake hopefully after the end of this |
Drax72 said: It's the Berserk movie trilogy edited to a TV format with minor changes. The movies followed the same part of the manga as the 1997 Berserk series did.Animeizreal said: Is this a adaption of Season 1 or what is this ?not an animation that Berserk deserves, but this is what we got so, guess i'm gonna enjoy it |

| So far, it's just small adjustments in lighting, storyboard (the little flashback scene is far better now), some shortened cuts that went for too long in the movie anyway. Very nice stopping point, this TV edit is going well for now, but I do hope it give us some more scenes like the one teased in the trailer going forward. Guts flashback has a great opportunity to be expanded upon in full later on, . There's a countdown going on up to episode 10 (70 days in total), so I imagine is where they will announce the more major adaptation expansions and perhaps a Black Swordsman arc adaptation. |

While I agree with most of this, 1997 version did have low budget and did have major factor in adapting the series since, back then everything was going into Pokemon anime. Berserk was originally planned for 26 episodes but they end up cutting it to 25. Now, it's different story. And besides, studio can do whatever art style they want to. If they want to copy Berserk 97 style, they can. Like you said, it is up to director and creative team. |
TheAnimeWorld said: Drax72 said: Is this a adaption of Season 1 or what is this ? This is a TV-Edit of the Movies which basically is Season 1 as it adapts the second arc of Berserk or the first arc in chronological order. Still some good old Berserk though so happy to watch. |
| I don't remember, their interaction from the original anime was also that homoerotic? It feels like even Casca thought several times that Guts would be her rival for his heart lol. |
 |
| I loved the 90s version so much and never watched these movies. Getting to revisit the story in this format is kind of fun… but it is making me miss the music from the original. |
| CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG 2016 was worse than this? Holy Griffith's gay aura! Not joking, if I hadn't read the manga, I would have totally thought this is a romance between Guts and Griffith. |
 |
| Well I have mixed felling about this tbh. On one hand I think it was great and on the other I just think it's meh. Well I am happy with any new things for berserk but I hope next episodes will be a little better. As far as I remember this is similiar if not even the same just like it was in Golden Age arc movies... |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |
| Seems like the same ol shit, I mean it wasn't bad nor good, twas more nostalgic but i'm guessing thats just what us parrots say :v |
 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. |
| Let's go, new Berserk TV series! I wonder how movies are going to be turned into episodic format. I hope we will see more than one additional scene. Good episode. Its pacing was nice (whileit was not perfect, it felt better than the pacing from first 20 minutes of Movie 1, to be frank) and visuals were pleasant to watch. I saw improvement compared to the first movie. More light effects, more detailed faces of background characters, more shots with better dynamism. So far it looked alright, even though I knew what to expect, since I'm familiar with the manga and I saw the original movie trilogy. I'm glad that I was able to easily detect many improvements done here or there. I bet there were more of them that I just didn't notice myself. Marmer said: They cut donovan from the flashback He was there, in the slideshow shown during Guts' fever nightmare. Memorial Edition had this fragment improved compared to its movie version, so we could actually see something (like characters), instead of just looking at fog running in few frames per seconds, lol. |

| Leaving nostalgia and CGI hate aside, should I watch this or the 90s version? Not sure how well has aged the old Berserk. I'm thinking maybe I could try this as my first Berserk experience. (I don't read manga btw) |
| Griffith wants Guts and is already treating him differently from the other folks as casca says. Griffith definitely has courage here. |
 |
| The story is same but the graphic is improved. |

| so is this going to be yet again another remake of the original? or will they add something new, i wish some studio would actually finish the damn story instead of remaking it again and again π |
| The comparisons against the '97 anime favor this series actually quite a lot.. |
| I would imagine Memorial edition to be without CGI that I saw in this 1. ep. |
| Guts vs Bazuso.. and then of course the classic first duel between Griffith and Guts. Golden Age arc is SUCH a classic.. |
| I've just finished reading the Golden Age arc. I've read that this memorial edition is basically the trilogy movie but remastered into 13 episodes, so I don't have to watch the movies, right? Anyway, seeing the characters come to life from manga to anime form is pretty interesting. Having read the manga, Guts's flashback with Donovan and Gambino was a good way to refresh my memory. Griffith with his pretty face and charisma, Casca being jealous at the start, Corkus, my boy Pippin, etc. I didn't expect Judeau to sound like that... bummer. I thought he'd sound more... girlish? I don't know. Pretty good first episode so far. |
