You see this thing? It's a behelit. I've tried to make scrambled behelit before, but I just can't crack the thing.

He exists, but I don't know how close to release or why he wasn't there.

e: Chapter summary. More next month!

Sounds like a really great world and character building chapter.

If you can put void's hands over two glasses and pour champagne down that cape into those glasses, woo!

Also next time I think I'll just read the Korean without understanding anything then wait until the translation is out. Back and forth reading and looking is tough; it'll take a few more rounds. Still a very detailed write-up.

Someone needs to slap Isidro upside the head, but no else in the party seems to be making a comment. What's so special that Guts would withhold that? Just his comment to Isidro many moons ago that "Some things you have to figure out yourself", or is it that Guts wants to leave that part behind him?

Puck is quite the marshmallow.

The conversations in this chapter might lead to some interesting responses from the team. Only Roderick and Shierke seem truly unoffended. But great building of tension before they get to the elf king.

Very happy. :circlefap:

Feb 2017 release, and I'm sure buyable versions won't look quite that good but drat that figure is ridiculous. There's a cheaper one without the Behelit too.

Pretty enjoyable this week, there's a lot more 2D, Godo is all 2D. They did the Mozgus bit quite well. Sticks well to the manga too. Probably the best ep yet.

Did Guts' voice-actor always do such bad acting in this show or did something weird happen during the recording for episode 4? Starting off with the least interested and caring "stoop noo" was just... :doh:

I doubt I'll catch up before the next one is scanned. I just finished the Guardians of Desire chapters. Reading has been slow going tbh.

When I first read it, I had to force myself to stop each day. Just pick a target time or chapter count and don't look ahead. You'll have the joy of suspense and thinking about possibilities.

Honestly I am just super busy, so I just don't have the time to binge berserk like I've done with other series in the past. It is really good tho.

I'm of the opposite luck: I've been binging for a couple of days now, making this the 3rd time I've read the manga, and I have to say, it's really engaging, especially the character bits and the party interaction. It does nothing but make me sad that the new anime is turning out the way it is. This stuff, when it's not making me feel really uncomfortable, seems to get better every time I read it.

Well, episode 4 followed the manga. The direction is still bad and the production values are still crap (especially the coloring on the CG models). I dunno, I'm not angry anymore, just kinda sad that a better studio isn't handling it.

Why the gently caress do they do poo poo like go through the trouble of hand drawing Godo in every single frame and all his movements and poo poo and everyone else is in fuckin CGI just pick one or the other with some loving consistency arrrrrgh

Yea, same here, but I'm on Volume 5. I knew some of the events through the anime(I'm on episode 10) and because I did do what I wasn't supposed to do, but I was amazed at how much I STILL didn't/Don't know or noticed until I started going through the manga. Binge reading would be hard for me, tbh, and honestly, I'm in no hurry anyway.

These next couple chapters are shaping up to be like chapters 201-202, which are my favorite in the entire series. I loving love the mechanics and lore of the berserk universe.

The characters that have been hand-drawn, like Godo and Charlotte, only have that one appearance in this story arc. Wonder how they'll do Skull Knight and Silat.

This is meant to be scheduled for 2 cours. If true, that probably means Millennium Falcon, so the two probably have CG.

I can see the constraint on the stick breaking as she drops it, and the animator didn't bother to fix the spacing.

Why must you do this to me, CG Berserk.

The one thing I will give them credit for is the eyes. They look less awful than the CG anime eyes in the first Berserk movie, probably because they're doing them with textures instead of actually modeling them.

Like that stick constraint is any worse than that right arm as she lifts the large weightless metal blade to her forehead. Or tweens from forehead wipe to pause to lowering the arm.

Our only hope is that by the end of the season the animation staff understands the transition to 3D animation from 2D enough that the closing episodes look somewhat better than the first few.

Thanks as always! You guys do great work.

I like that Guts is also incredibly impatient to just meet the king already. More and more connections to Norse mythology, I wonder if any actual gods will show up? Or at least apostles that look like them.

So that's why Griffith had Flora killed. He wanted to destroy her home and strengthen the world tree, further wrecking the world. What an rear end in a top hat.
