What the actual fuck have I just watched.

Lol what is up with this supernatural stuff? It felt like it came out of nowhere.

This.

I don't know, of course I was expecting to see some demonic stuff, it was obvious after episode 1, the behelit, that beast they fought against... But this is way too much coming out of nowhere.

Looking forward to some explanations and proper wrap up on final episode.

Now, delving even deeper into Griffith's mind, I can understand him better now. Guts being the sole person to make him forget about his one and only dream, I can see how because of losing Guts, Griffith lost himself.

This was too unexpected.. I think it'll take a while for me to really say anything about it. I already feel like I should re-watch this entire show from the beginning.

So surreal, mind-blown, full of metaphor on existential melodrama, pain, dreams, that IDK if I even understood it as much as I should.. felt depressing TBH.. Simply amazing. I understand why it's a masterpiece.


There's no commentary for next expisode.. I have a bad feeling about next episode..

So this is where Griffith becomes the bad guy. Well it's partly his own fault for falling into despair simply because Guts beat him in a fight, but torturing him for one year certainly played a bit part as well. I know where he'll go first to get his revenge...

I have always seen that manga panel with the hand reaching out to a black circle and now I know that things were too fucked up in that one still picture.

That is where the brand is from!
A lot of deaths is coming I think, Am I ready?

Next episode...

Amazing. Showstopping. Never-been-done-before. Incredible.
But, for real, this episode was great and full of philosophical implications... How far are you willing to go? How many sacrifices are you willing to make in order to achieve your big, humongous, dreams? When is too much? When is too little? And, most importantly, is Griffith really guilty? Wasn't this part of his plan? Didn't his people knew that this is how it was going to end?
Guts have been marked like a cattle. He is nothing but Griffith's pawn and he should have known that. Griffith's dream is higher than life and higher than death. He would never stop just in the name of friendship. He doesn't know what 'friendship' is.
Can't wait to actually motivate myself to watch the last episode. I'm really curious about what's going to happen. I know Guts will definitely live with the mark trying to escape his fate. Oof, only if he didn't fall for Griffith's trap (in reality ofc i wish griffith would just forget about his dream and accept a simple life, and gut would just integrate in a group and learn that life is made up of compromises, but this anime is great nonetheless) ((kind of wished they just led a homosexual life like God intended but a man just needs to live on))

Damn, Griffith just lost it. One one side, I can understand him. He was tortured for 3 years, his tendons, tongue cut. Also castrated (probably). Crippled for life. Not only were his grand dreams lost, at this stage, even a simple normal life was out of his grasp. No wonder he went nuts. But at the same time, I'm kind of angry he just decided to sacrifice all his comrades to a bunch hideous monsters.

Wow, tbe ending isn't dissapointing. These last few episodes have been 5/5's so far.

In hindsight, the first episode was a bit unnecessary. Sure, it gave a glimpse that gets you hooked, but it feels a bit off. There isn't a big "everything fell into place" click. It feels unrelated to "this" adventure of Guts.

4 Demon lords/Gods appeared. And one of them was looking pretty fine. Griffith chose to sacrifice his remaining "friends". Well, we already knew that they weren't his true friends to begin with. Seems like seeing Guts (together with the mindtrick from the Demon Lord) was the final push he needed to sell out to his ruined dreams.

The brands have been dealt. The banquet is about to begin. All I can hope for is for Guts to go Berserk, one last time. End this thing with a bang.

Time to put those grasses on... One last time... B-) (I'm gonna miss that corny themesong)

Masterpiece.

I'm super impressed by how OLM handled everything in such a creepy fashion and the antagonists all look incredible and scary at the same time and I love it. The whole red-colored setting is perfect and it's so appropriate for something such as the eclipse.

Also, that griffith illusion was pretty cool and it once again solidified how well he's written. I love it.

I wonder if Griffith would still have made the choice he did if he hadn't been tortured and mutilated.

The Griffith heel turn surprise is lost on me because Miura-san himself spoiled the story in like the first chapter of the manga. Oh well. The art in this episode is amazing.

In the end, it's Guts that gives Griffith the idea to follow his dream to the end. What a weird twist of fate!
The Eclipse is one of the best thing I've ever seen in an anime, disturbing and stunning at the same time.
This is the turning point of Berserk, Griffith makes his choice. It's like the Crucifission, a pain before become divinity, but this time he has to choose evil to become an Apostle.
Now the REAL horror begins!
