Viz also has a trailer for the english dub out. It sounds ok, I guess. The actor for Guts sounds better than he did back in the early 2000's, but the others sound the same. I wonder what new stuff the "hardcore" crowd will latch on to and nitpick the poo poo out of.

I had been meaning to post the same thing - I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of it. The actors (and their direction, for that matter) has improved so much, I think the only comparison I can make is the difference between Funimation's DBZ and Kai dubs, it's such a huge improvement. My only issue with it is, and it could just be my setup, it sounded like the actual volume of the voices was a bit higher than it should have been and kind of drowned out the music\sound at times. I switched between both audio tracks just to be sure and it really did sound like there was a difference between the Japanese and English tracks. I also like that they even made the weird flashback scene with Gambino a little better with lines that are actually (gasp) understandable.

Pyrotoad posted:The only thing I need to know about this dub is if it has any outtakes or not Nope, the only extras are a trailer for Neon Alley and some production drawings. It's weird because the dub itself is great but the actual release is pretty  . I was really hoping they would put in something like the original pilot that was pitched to Miura because I've only ever seen clips of it here and there.

Boscogn's death has been uploaded online: (spoilers, obviously) http://vimeo.com/55362937 All I can say is  they chose to go with throwing a flag over having Zodd toss down his sword, what in the gently caress? Who the gently caress thought that was a good idea?

jsun posted:As awesome as the third movie looks I don't think I can watch it. I have a hard enough time reading the part where Caska gets raped that I couldn't stomach seeing it in glorious HD. I'm just a big pussy I guess. Naw, it's uncomfortable as hell. The animation looks like a big improvement too which will likely make it even worse.  I'm still excited as hell at the prospect of getting post-Eclipse stuff animated, poo poo like the fight with Mozgus should at least look pretty awesome.

I'm kind of torn with the second movie because once again it's not nearly as loving terrible as the fans were making it out to be, but the pacing is pretty atrocious. The removal of the Bonfire of Dreams sequence and the Queen subplot really fucks with everything. The 100 man fight is absolutely brutal and loving awesome, on par with the assassination from the first movie. I also have to admit, I like how they slightly altered Adon with having him captured and used as a way to get into Doldrey which makes more sense than his weird rear end fake death routine and Casca and the other reinforcements just randomly appearing at the gates behind thousands of troops. Also the cameos by Puck, Serpico, and Farnese aren't really that bad, as the way some people had been talking about it made it sound like it was some really blatant poo poo but it's, what, a split second for them? Who cares? The change to the fight with Boscogn is just needlessly dumb, and I really, really missed the scene with Guts in the bar with Corkus and Judeau. It's such a shame, because with more competent writing\editing\direction\everything, a lot of the character development that was in the manga and original anime feels like it could have been easily kept in.

I think the speculation is that he's either working pretty far ahead so that chapters can get released in a more timely manner as work continues (for the sake of Young Animal and the movies perhaps) or could be helping out in some smaller way with future OVA's\films, approving changes and things not unlike what he did for the original anime. Kind of hoping it's both because after watching the second movie I'm still absolutely baffled as to why they thought ballroom dancing was a better scene than the Bonfire of Dreams sequence.  The dub is still really good though - Mike Pollock still loving owns as Adon.

Sakurazuka posted:Be warned though, it's 15 years old now and the animation wasn't amazing even when it was new, although it officially has one of the top five best anime soundtracks ever, which makes up for a lot. There are Blu-ray rips floating around and they surprisingly give the animation a big bump in quality that makes it far more watchable. It's a shame it probably won't be released outside Japan, because the DVD's haven't aged well.

Undead Unicorn posted:And they never released the entire series on DVD I remember reading (and thinking) about how loving badly Viz Media botched releasing it. They put it on SyFy of all channels IIRC, dubbed the whole loving thing (no small feat at something like 60 or 80 episodes or some poo poo) and barely promoted it or marketed it in any real way and when, shockingly, no one buys the first DVD release because no one knows what the gently caress it is they go "welp," and pull the plug entirely, making it literally impossible to watch the series without pirating it as it now isn't even loving available on Amazon Prime to purchase. e: wait nm, the website says it can still be purchased on iTunes only? Why bother removing it from Prime or the other services.  , indeed. They could have pulled a Cowboy Bebop and gotten people interested who otherwise wouldn't be but, hey, Viz Media and all that.

I'm only finding this out now but apparently a translation patch was finally finished and released for the PS2 game that came out years ago. I'm playing through it right now and it's not exactly great but the character animation is really nice and it's satisfying as hell to annihilate loving everything with the Dragon Slayer. The patch has quite a bit of poorly worded text but it's hard to complain. I still find it a little odd this never made it outside of Asia, but IIRC part of that was due to the issues facing Sammy's US division. It's really odd that the first game made it over here as I don't even think the anime or the manga were licensed in North America during that time, but the sequel got completely passed up despite having an established, albeit niche, audience clamoring for loving anything past the Eclipse. I think the graphics were good for its time, the cinematics are nicely done, and there are some  moves Guts pulls off during boss battles that I'm sure would make Miura proud.The counter/reversal system is a nice touch, but leveling up feels way too slow. This game also makes me really miss the original Japanese actor who played Guts, that dude knows his poo poo when it comes to sounding utterly pissed off and yelling and everything.

SatansBestBuddy posted:The first two movies really struggle with that, and some scenes get it right (Guts first fight with the band of the Hawk) and are able to be their own movie while still telling the same story as the manga, but then other scenes aren't sure of how to make that balance work, like the calvary battle at the start of the second movie, which again resorts to more manga style storytelling and pacing for a when Guts and Casca fall off the cliff. It's loving weird how some scenes are engaging and really well done (the assassination in the first film comes to mind) and then there's stuff like extended ballroom dancing, removing Godo/any mention of Guts time spent away from the Hawks, replacing Zodd with a flag pole toss in the Boscogn duel (seriously  ), no Bonfire of Dreams, etc.I get that doing three movies with that amount of material is no easy task, but, god drat, to me it felt like they really missed the mark.

apropos to nothing posted:Just read through this over the past 3 days for the first time. It's the first manga I've ever read and I only started because I heard about how it influenced Demon's/Dark Souls/Bloodborne and wanted to see the inspiration. It's probably one of my favorite stories now. I was really worried going in to that I would be turned off because I had heard about the hyper violence and rape and with the latter I was really afraid it would be used to titillate, but was thankful to see that it hasn't been played that way at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD94dVu8lqQ It's going to really suck when Miura dies and nothing is resolved.

PiedPiper posted:It was pointed out to me that in one of the scenes when Skull Knight swallows the behelit Miura used the sound effect of an object hitting something hollow. So SK is basically an empty armor. This sound was also used in the cameo at the end of the Dreamcast game when he shows up and swallows the Behelit that belonged to Balzac. IIRC, it sounded like dropping a rock in big, empty tin can.

For real though, Idolmaster jokes aside, what in the gently caress does Miura do to make a living, is he actually taking years to draw a few loving chapters here and there or is he taking an advisory role for the new anime or loving what

I'm not opposed to some buttrock in Berserk, but it would take some time to get used to it.Ccs posted:You guys saying it looks like the PS2 cutscene need to take a second look at that PS2 game. This is much higher quality. Going back and rewatching it, yeah, it's not as bad as I thought it was originally. I think it's the stiff walking animation that made me cringe the most, but it looks alright once it switches to hand drawn face later on. And not to beat a dead horse on how well the games nailed the look/sound of Berserk, I wish they would use that sound that the Dragonslayer makes when it swings through the air, that made destroying poo poo in those games so satisfying with how heavy it sounded.

Dude's voice is cool as poo poo, but nope, they didn't get him back for the movies. They got some other guy who hasn't really done that much which makes me believe they probably couldn't afford to hire the old cast or something along those lines.

I hope they skip important scenes and replace them with utterly useless ones. "I mean, we have this whole subplot about the queen wanting to kill Griffith and his revenge is a huge part of showing just how cunning and dangerous Griffith is becoming, and there's also that 'bonfire of dreams' thing that's a pretty big deal, but idk, I think people want to see some ballroom dancing, that just screams Berserk."
