Watch him be like the opposite of Schierke; where that video up there made her look almost immobile when not moving with the wind magic and stuff, but possessing massive AoE, he'll be super-mobile but have among the smallest attacks of the group or something. Relatively, I mean; this is a musou game, so he'll still probably be hitting tons of people at once somehow.

 http://www.manga-audition.com/zenon201610-haraxmiura/ Crossover Legends! Pretty great interview with two of my favourite mangaka, quite a pleasant insight into their worlds. I never thought I'd see Hara do a rendition of Guts, let alone something that badass!

The latest anime episode was pretty good. Still suffers from some incompetent camera direction and a bit of floaty animation, but otherwise nice.

I thought they were going to wait until next episode to reveal the full brand. But you're right, it wasn't well executed. God drat it, why don't they have a different director doing this show?

The hand reveal is one of the best scenes in the manga. I was very sad that it lost that impact in this episode. It was the thing I was looking forward to the most.

Something I noticed on rewatching the first episode and definitely continues throughout: Relating to the 3D, the biggest problem with direction in this series has 100% been camera FoV/zoom. It never changes in any given scene, they only move the camera, never touching the zoom. Closeup shots could benefit from a little fisheye, especially any given Guts grin; or like when he sees the girl's body about to be eaten by the tree, stay far and zoom the gently caress in! Instead we get general tunnel vision in every shot and it really affects sense of distance and leads to everything feeling slow no matter how far they make a character move in the 3D scene. Everything feels like it's always the same distance away (because it is) instead of actually changing perspective. Someone is just loading a stock camera object, pointing it some direction, and calling it good. The opening shot of episode 8 is the most apparent offender, but then later during the Serpico cliff duel they seem to have figured it out in one shot, but back to stock in the next. Episode 9 is a little better, but still feels cramped 90% of the time because it's like they just loving forget about camera zoom for 'boring' shots. Further edits: I found one zoom- So I went back and checked Knights of Sidonia, and the first episode is the same way: Camera zoom never changes. Especially apparent in Bear-lady scenes when they struggle to fit her in shots with the regular characters in a tiny room. But, by the second episode they seem to have figured it out and use different zooms for stuff like pilot reactions vs quiet cockpit shots. It's amusing to be watching Shirobako on the side and they talk about 3D trying to replace 2D all the drat time too. 3D doesn't do any good if the director doesn't know the tools.

It makes sense that a director from 2d wouldn't have any experience with focal length, cause it's kind of a non-issue in 2D unless the animator really knows what they're doing. I wonder if they even have a layout department for this show or if the animators are doing it all like they do in 2D in Japan. Personally though the way the camera pans and the fact that shots cut before they have a chance to really land visually is what bothers me the most.

Was this model just taken from a stock 3D model library with generic saint statues? Because otherwise I don't get what a lowercase T has to do with the Hawk Religion.

Midland had some kind of religion which was clearly modeled on Christianity and was already established for many generations prior to Griffith co-opting it. Although I suppose it's possible that if the Godhand were involved, then Griffith's arrival would have been prophesied, and in that case maybe their iconography should have been hawk-based all along.

There is a pope who met with Griffith and made him the proper king of Midland or whatever. And the Holy Chain Knights and Mozgus' crew work for the generic capital-c Church as well. It's just vague not-christianity.

PhantomOfTheCopier posted:Griffith has not been crowned, nor yet wed to Charlotte. The Pope specifically states that he will be alive to see them married, and the Midlanders are following Griffith because he had Charlotte and she retains inherited power. Basically, yeah. But they follow Griffith because he's their Messiah, not just because he rescued Charlotte.

He's basically both the second coming of Jesus and King Arthur coming to save Britannia, because Midlanders still tell tales of The Band of the Hawk and of Griffith. Then he comes back, saves the queen and is somehow able to control horrible monsters in the only safe place they know of after defeating the Kushan hordes. Honestly I need more commoner eye view of Griffith. Straight up new peasant wandering around Falconia.

bman in 2288 posted:Basically, yeah. But they follow Griffith because he's their Messiah, not just because he rescued Charlotte. Later they are all standing around scared witless as Griffith leads them all toward the Kushan demons and only then are the apostles unleashed in their true forms. Everyone goes along because... telekinesis girl tells them to and then goes charging into the field. Hell, what would even be the point in fleeing at that point? If your side loses, you're getting run down by demons. If you join in, you can be a part of Midland when it recovers, which is what you've wanted all along. Instead they get a guy who flies on a huge beast, that suddenly produces a golden city. Crops grow like weeds, whiskey rains down from heaven, everyone has a job, and there "are no monsters" (because they're all friendly and helpful and helped win the battle). Now the boring commander that Charlotte told you to follow has his kingdom; gently caress Midland; all hail Falconia.

See, Musou/Warriors doesn't really work for Berserk as Casca or Judeau but that trailer is 100% why Berserk Warriors is a great idea. Zodd is the coolest.

Look, they were able to bullshit up ways for like Marin and Agitha to fight hordes of enemies in Hyrule Warriors. They can do something for Casca and Judeau. Heck, those kinds of fighters are what they have the most experience with, what with all the basic sword-wielders in Dynasty Warriors. e: Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-r1lbxjRiI

Don't get me wrong, I love that you can play as those too, or others who are basically mortals amongst superhumans, but it makes less sense in an adaptation way. They definitely need to get in on showing that Skull Knight action though.

Omega Force tends to handle light weapon or rapier-users by having them massacre 50 men in a rectangle in front of them as opposed to Guts massacring 50 men in a semi-circle.
