They're getting marginally better at animating facial expressions, too.

To be fair, didn't they have the entire orgy cavern doped out of their minds? Nina knew what she was doing outside of that, but at that point she probably didn't much care if he was screaming between her legs or off a cliff; anything would have made her smile.

In any case, Nina/Luca are basically the chapter bridge for Farnese. Nina is Farnese the whiny little brat that smiles when people burn, flawed to the core, nothing but a bag of hot air. Luca represents what Farnese can become, centered and stable, somehow externally flawed but fundamentally solid at the core. Nina becomes Jill, Luca becomes Farnese.

Even in this awful CGI poo poo fest, when my man Guts swings that sword and things die, it's the best thing ever.

Man, I really hope the game has some of the more famous music tracks. I'm just rediscovering how nice Blood and Guts sounds even if the main lyrics should be silly by all means.

It's kind of lighter than the absolutely sob story that was Lost Children though. Or at least, I remember a few more sillier things in between the gore and horribleness than LC. Which you really need every now and again.

:psyduck:

Is that really the sound they used, a hammer striking a piece of sheet metal, for spanking? They couldn't even slap some whiner from the finance department and record it?

I admit that Luca looks a bit pissed in that, but Nina's expression is the one worn by a ditz who drops a box of cereal at the grocery store.

They've toned the clanging down a bunch since it seems though. It sounds more like a thudding impact nowadays, which is more like it should.

Guess they really are just going to use that as slight annoying cue that Guts needed to recast the Dragonslayer - or they got enough complaints and improved their sound design at the right time.

Following a chain of related videos led me to this, a fairly in-depth analysis of the things wrong with the new anime.

they had the common sense to draw this at least!

e: They've drawn some other emotional things that should have been drawn all along in previous episodes too. It's still not great, but that's a step forward in my book.

"I just got this info from skullknight.net. So I wanted to share it here too! (if someone already did it before, I'm terribly sorry)
The album will be released on September 14, and here's the track list:
灰よ(TVアニメ「ベルセルク」劇中歌)
BERSERK-Forces 2016
Aria (劇場映画「ベルセルク 黄金時代篇」三部作 主題曲)
FORCES II (「ベルセルク 千年帝国の鷹篇 喪失花の章」ゲームサウンドトラック)
ZODDO II (「ベルセルク 千年帝国の鷹篇 喪失花の章」ゲームサウンドトラック)
冠毛種子の大群 (Large Chamber ver.)
INDRA 2016
Ash Crow (TVアニメ「ベルセルク」劇中歌)
Sign (「ベルセルク 千年帝国の鷹篇 聖魔戦記の章」 ゲームサウンドトラック)
Sign-3
Aria (カラオケ)
灰よ(カラオケ)
Ash Crow (カラオケ)
"Ash Crow" Probably the official title for "Hai Yo", but I'll wait for the release date for certainty. Oh, and what's your opinion about this? :)
EDIT: Thanks to Google Translate, I just know that 灰よ is pronounced "Hai Yo", now I feel dumb lol."

Someone mixed a near perfect Hai Yo a couple of days ago that doesn't have any show sfx or anything else ruining it.

By far the best cut I've found; there wont be much difference with the full version unless it has another chorus or something.

What are we up to now, 8? There was a few stupid shots like that top down of Guts running, but they're getting better at picking what to show and how to show it. Still can use an overall improvement of using 2D and 3D.

At this rate the show will have one or two episodes left before it becomes halfway watchable.

Apparently the guts faces in this episode are legit traced...

Which is cool because it's better than what the animators can do clearly. They should go back and do Mozgus that way

I'd be cool with straight up motion-comic approach over a lot the CG.

I mean they probably can't get the animators that worked on the Golden Age movies to help so you might as well try to do the best possible fix.

This would be really cool actually, if we're talking about a shoestring budget. They really went for the worst of both worlds in their approach.

This is cool and pretty much confirms we'll be able to play as Grunbeld, Locus, Irvine, etc. if they're digging that deep off the main cast.

Based on how some of these games work, I imagine most potentially playable enemy characters won't be unlocked before actually finishing the story mode though.
