| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Badass! Very cool action and plenty of gore :D Looks like an interesting story too, looking forward to seeing the rest. |
 |
| First impressions = very brutal lol. Kinda reminds me of Hellsing and Claymore and I loved it when he killed those thugs at the start :P |
 |
| Good action and animation, they cut out alot of the stuff from the manga, but that's inevitable. One thing I didn't like was the voices in the dub I watched, which is to be expected, since these are all minor characters apart from Guts. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. |
| Finally decided to pick this show up. What I was expecting: CLAYMORE What I got: CLAYMORE So I'm all happy. The background art is a bit below par but the animation is good. Very good so far. |
 |
| This is good, this is very good). |
 |
| Was good,not much of a story at all..just killing,lol Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| So confused. Now I know why my friend told me not to watch the first episode. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Definitely a higher quality animation then I was expecting for it's time. |
| This episode needs an epilepsy warning. Seriously, I'm still foaming from the demon dream flashback |
 |
| the animation = bleh it made the action look rather bleh in fact the animation throughout the show is quite ..... bleh PS. why did they get rid of puck? He was hilarious! |

| Rewatching this by the Box of War DVD-set. Funny how i decided to be more open minded and watch this with an english dub, it didn't include it...truly, man has no free will. I have read the manga, but i'm giving my opinion on the show alone, not how it par's with the manga. The episode was ok, but gives too much questions and spoils the viewer. I'm glad that when i first watched this show, i skipped the first one and started from the second one, then came back and watched the first one--> much better. And this show looks kinda low budget. When compared to Slayer this looks more stilted and cheap. Maybe the animation team tried to mimic Kentauro Miura's(?) artwork so much that it brought down the animation. The small details are nice though. |
| Dafuq is this shit?! ... I like it. |
| kick ass so far |
 |
| Interesting start to this somewhat overrated series tbh |
 |
| Fucking Brutal. |

Jonnieh said: This episode needs an epilepsy warning. Seriously, I'm still foaming from the demon dream flashback LOL I thought the same. Old animes love to flash as much as possible [cough]Dragon Ball Z[/cough] The episode was decent. The main character didn't seem to have much personality but hopefully he'll be more developed in the next episodes. |

| Gore is pretty awesome right?? Is the second episode about his past??? Cool ... I'm gonna finish this series soon..It's plain awesome :D |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| Watching this after seeing all three episodes of Golden Arc movies and I am sold now :) It is good enough for me to see all other episodes from another point of view. |
| Was it dark when the anime was flashing. It has to be dark. Hurts man. Anyway, I guess we can't really say much about episode 1 without watching the rest of the show, so get on it people. If you really liked episode 1, try the manga. ITS AMAZING |

| Damn has a nice art style. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I've read the manga and though about checking out the anime, although the manga art style is superior, the anime looks pretty good especially for the time it aired. Love being able to watch Guts (the main character) be a bad ass :) |
 |
| Well that was a brutal fight, finally getting around to watching this show. I've seen bits and pieces of the manga so I doubt it will get a brutal as it but i could be wrong. |
 |
| Knowing what I knew about the series going in, this episode just confused me. I can definitely see why people would say to avoid this ep. |
| Just started this after years of wanting to watch it. First episode was meh but I'll keep watching and hope it picks up! |
| The OP and ED are 90's alt magic |
| I like supernatural violence but this opening ep's kind of ridiculous and put me off the series before; after enjoying the film trilogy I'm going to give it another chance. Shame we won't get to see what happens after though. |
| Pretty crazy first episode, lots of action with a rather dark and brutal atmosphere! And well I totally love it! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I'm starting my re-watch of Berserk and the first episode is better when you know everything about the story. |
| That was awesome! I thought I wouldn't like it, because I read the manga first, but this was still really great. Managed to keep most of the key concepts in. |
 |
| Aww where is Puck :C I want Puck! What is Berserk without him xD Oh well. If only I had watched this some years ago! Right now quite a lot of things seem wrong, especially after you read the manga and imagine things differently. I just wish I could make this anime myself xD and a season 2... |
| Ahhh I see where tf2 demo and naruto's zabuzza got inspired from. |
 |
| I've read a chunk of the manga before watching this, but I only remember bits and pieces. This will be an interesting ride. As a note though, that was one of the most ill-fitting openings I've seen as of late |
| Well, I've been meaning to watch this for a while, finally got around to it and I'm regretting not starting it sooner, I'm hooked. |
 |
| This is brutal |
| Loved the episode. Looking forward to this series! |
| Previously: BlueXRam |
| I've read the first 12 volumes of the manga, but this was confusing. Everything was all jumbled up. The OP sounds like a lost Pixies gem, and the ED was pure Smashing Pumpkins circa 1995. Both are great. But that techno song in the middle of the battle sequence sounded really corny. All that said, I really liked it. Didn't love it (yet), but I want to keep watching. |
| Rewatching this in dub, its still fucking awesome. |
 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 opening is so good. |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |
