It's kind of weird that they're making continuity for the Count of all people with the Keeper of the Hounds. Is Theresa going to show up next and trained to kill Guts or what?

I'm watching at least the next episode just for Mozgus.

But yeah, this is pretty much trash and I'm only watching it to laugh at it.

I wished on that monkey paw for a Berserk anime that covered something besides the Golden Age, and I suppose this technically counts as that.

It wasn't always magic, Guts just killed enough magical things with it that it became saturated with blood and Eclipse Energy, so that over time, it became more effective at hitting supernatural things, like spookems.

She can still sort of fight, she just doesn't really control it. So a style of accidentally tripping with swords or pushing monsters/people into sharp objects or off cliffs.

Playing as a strong female character that could fight alongside any male character in her own right with brain damage that turns her into generic moeblob #738 is the saddest thing I can imagine.

So it's perfect for a Berserk game I guess

Of course people would do that with guts. But chainmail bikinis aren't :black101: enough for guts rage.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.
For a series that is ok with unbelievably brutal violence, has statements made by horses raping women, and just overall brutal mentality about the world, you would think nipples wouldn't actually be a sticking point. As it stands, I'm glad I am watching Barbie: Malibu After Dark.

Well she also hasn't been training like guts fighting monsters every goddamn night so maybe rusty too. It's gonna be kind of sad or cute if she ever gets better and the first thing she tries to do is swing a sword with who knows how many years out of shape arms working against her - yet still be in better shape than Guts after his latest fight in the armor.

? Half way through the process she remembers she hated his guts, then kills him before realizing what she's doing? Then she remembers the rest and Behelits to Griffith, then refuses to accept apostlehood and gets sucked into the vortex. Griffith becomes terribly offended that he couldn't save her from fate of his own making, and decides to sacrifice everyone in Falconia to try to bring her back. Godhand descends into Falconia to have a feast of epic proportions. Griffith realizes Casca is lost and the Godhand aren't actually helping him, so he blame-stabs the heart. The vortex sucks up the Godhand and all of Falconia, which becomes the new 'fallen city' filled with sacrifices. The heart is revealed to be alive, pulls Casca from the vortex, and elevates her to status as first Godhand.

That's certainly better than Guts connecting to Casca for the memory recovery process, and having her "kill his dog demon" as part of her and his "return to fullness". The have a son (named Griffith) and daughter (Shierke) and adopt a puppy (Judeau). Isidro becomes pissed that he didn't learn all the secrets and becomes Black Swordsman Junior, trained by Serpico, and Farnese and Shierke rule the world as the two spiritual queens with their boytoys. All goes well until Guts and Casca are out for the day and their children are set upon by apostles. And we all know what apostles do to children. Skull Knight saves them (afterwards, of course, how convenient) and takes them away from their bad parents without ever telling Guts/Casca what happened. Story repeats as "Children of Berserk".

It's kind of like how you can show Hannibal Lecter slicing a woman in to thin strips and displaying her in glass on US TV but nipples are illegal. You can get away with a lot more nudity on Japanese TV but actual nipples are still out.

It's such a shame that the sections that are standard anime are really nice looking but then switch back to animation that would make Reboot look good today. The pacing on this show is really weird too, we're already on volume 18-20(?) for the Tower of Conviction arc. Anyone that is watching this right now with no prior knowledge is already saying "WTF is this?" Although I feel like too that Berserk has been around for such a long time that people watching it really are just fans of the manga so the narrative of the show isn't that confusing to them.

Guessing from the two big black censor bars this last ep, and the lack of colored areolae in the last two at least, this show's gonna have an uncut DVD/BR release to show the high quality animation off. Well, at least show the probably awkwardly modeled and hairless female genitals if not colored nipples. How they'd be a worth a second watch I have no idea yet. However if violence starts getting dumbed down later, then we'll know.

Overall episode wasn't nearly as bad as you guys painted it out to be, but it's still fairly mediocre. I'll keep watching, though mostly as a snack to tide me over until new chapters.

Nah, they had better animated PS2 cutscenes even when the console came out. The animation studio behind this adaptation had never done CG, period, from what I've researched.

Links please. I want to see the resume behind the studio that doesn't understand offset curves or ease.

Also even the 2D closer section to Ep3 was lacking. Like 6fps/fours or something if that.

They'll spend all their man-hours and budget making Mozgus looks like a perfectly normal human being.

Or just get some average-looking guy off the street and rotoscope him.


What's "animation production?" Is this the first actual show they've done themselves?
