I really hope the new movies are announced this year or something. I wonder if they will give 2 movies each to the evil fairy arc and the flat face pope/inquisition arc.

I doubt the former needs two movies, it's not that long and not really directly relevant to the plot. They might even cut it, and while I'm not really sure how I'd feel about that it would make more sense than 90% of the other stuff that got cut.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I doubt the former needs two movies, it's not that long and not really directly relevant to the plot. Yeah thinking about it, it would be understandable to cut the Rosina arc. I would rather they didnt though, it is a cool part of the story and the first event that starts to illustrate how Griffith's ascension changed the world. Could potentially fit quite nicely into one film as well. I'm reading the manga again right now, I read the whole thing a couple of years ago up to the sea god but this time I have started from volume 14 as I watched all three films and volume 14 seems to pick up where they left off. Did they cut much from the films? All I remember being missing was the battle right before the eclipse where Guts fights the giant monkey demon. Franz von Dada posted:I don't think Rosine arc could stretch out for two films but the Tower of Conviction probably would. I thought on the whole the films were amazing and really did the original artwork justice unlike the animated series. The 3rd film in particular was one of the most well animated things I can remember seeing. Hard to watch at times though!

I thought the Golden Age movies were on the whole pretty terrible, more for their storytelling than their animation, and they leave a lot of questions about how they're actually going to try to continue the story after cutting so much. The fact that the demon-fetus didn't even make it into the third movie leaves a pretty glaring plot-hole later on. I think that I'm really too overly optimistic about the movies still. I want to just imagine that they cut all the minor plot and character details because they were trying to adapt such a complex narrative at less than 90 minutes a piece, which, to be fair, already had a pretty decent, albeit outdated, adaptation in an animated media, but then when I actually think about the stuff they added I can really only put it down to terrible story-telling. See, I want to believe that now they'll actually slow down and make really good, self-contained movies out of the Black Swordsman/Conviction arc stuff. I could see the three stories (Vol 1-3 stuff, The Lost Children, and The Tower) making really great, mostly self-contained, movies. They aren't exactly sweeping epics so much as episodic Conan-style fantasy adventures, and the scale of the setting of the narrative is a lot more claustrophobic and dark. Even though all indications point to them totally skipping the Black Swordsman stuff (interviews, splicing Guts *nearly* hurting Femto at the end of Movie 3), I could still accept something like that. Then I remember that loving Disney dance scene in the second movie and I just want to break down and cry nerdy tears.

Well, they cut out the Queen subplot, so they have no reason to go through with the assassination fake out and can party it up, since, you know, they won, achieved everything they set out to do, have no reason to fight and can dance all they want. The intent was to show that they're happy before Guts leaves and Griffith fucks everything up, and while it's obviously not as good as what the manga did it works in the context of the movie. The worse plot holes are the ones they don't even bother trying to cover up, like how Guts shows up outta nowhere in the third movie, no indication at all of how he found the Hawks, or cutting out that stuff with Rickert's group getting attacked by demons before the Eclipse and how he survived.

It's been years since I've read the manga OR seen the original anime, can someone give me the lowdown on what the problem is? I remember the plot with the Queen and the minister that was left out entirely but I thought there was some kind of party. Or maybe that was just in the TV anime. I'm not sure what the problem there was? (Except for early cameos.) Unless you hate ballroom dances or dancing in general.

At least it wasn't like the original anime where it was so heavily implied that Rickert was eaten that I was genuinely surprised that he was rescued by Skull Knight in the manga.

Zogundar posted:Unless you hate ballroom dances or dancing in general. This. Berserk is about the grim futility of fighting destiny and the misfortune that befalls those that try, so having everybody smiling and dancing and just being so drat happy is completely assbackwards from the tone of the manga. I thought it was fine, as were most of the other changes that weren't just straight up omissions, but I know some people get really bent out of shape about it.

I don't hate the movies, they're perfectly watchable as a quick and dirty recap of the Golden Age, but the whole project was definitely a risky proposition from its inception. The limited running time can't possibly pretend to include everything from the source material to keep the hardcore manga fans happy, which means that a lot of cuts have to be made as well as some subjective changes and additions to cover them up, and at the same time I imagine the producers and staff members also wanted to create a different experience of their own, in order to take advantage of the specifics of the format and the studio's real or imagined strengths, rather than just mechanically follow the footsteps of the TV series.

The Lost Children arc is metal as gently caress, though, and would probably make for a much better standalone movie than the Golden Age trilogy and a great intro to Berserk.

I can only hope we will get, sooner or later, an adaptation of the Lost Children arc or even just continuing on with The Black Swordsman for that matter. I don't mind if it's the studio responsible for the movies or some other party. The Golden Age is both iconic and popular, but there's really so much more to this property than that.
