Revelant posted:Berserk is like a fine whiskey that only get delivered twice a year. When you get it you marvel at it , taking you time to sip and let it last. You feel a little bit sad when you finish this bottle, but you know the next one is gonna be just as good.  Man, both ippo and berserk are 20? That's nuts. At least berserk just slowed down, and didn't take a nice long roll in the poo poo like ippo has been doing.

It was from a game or something I think.

Tormented posted:I like the only two pictures of Caska is of her crying. :O I noticed that too. A strong female character? Better downplay that til the release. Would you consider Caska a strong female character, actually? I'm not sure if I would. She's set up like that, but then she's there exclusively to execute Griffith's will, then is in love with Guts, or something, and then gets raped literally retarded. I'm actually kind of uncomfortable with the idea that rape may or may not play a part in her characterization. I really dunno what to think

OnimaruXLR posted:So, putting aside all this rape and misogyny, I'm kind of at a loss as to the contents of the first movie. I think that an adaption of the Golden Age arc up through the 100 man battle and Guts and Caska's reconciliation would have made a good place to start, but we've already seen footage of stuff beyond that. Was that stuff just shown out of context to drum up hype, or was it shown because it's going to be in the first movie? I would assume that a chunk or all of golden age will be the first movie. They will make zero earth dollars if they start after. The Berserk TV was very poorly received, right? So we have to assume that the movie watching public (who are the people they want to court, not people who they know will see it anyway IE the fans)would be completely put off by starting in the middle. It would be a big misstep, I think. That said, it would be awesome if the first movie also ended on the eclipse and the movie bombed and no more were made, so that both animated adaptations have bad end.

temple posted:The kid appears outside of a full moon. He is only corporal in the full moon, because the full moon makes super magic. I don't like the magic stuff in Beserk because it reminds of all other fantasy manga/anime and it pisses me off. I get why the moon matters to the beserk world but its overused and just annoying to hear about in this manga. I must admit I was away more engaged with the golden age arc because magic was so loving scarce, and sort of more special because of it, but i think it's more a problem I have with golden age feeling very well defined and the rest sort of running together in my head

Yeah, berserk has been out at a VERY good pace (historically speaking). The movies will certainly catch up to the current content... assuming each release does well. As soon as one tanks it's over.

The cg looks bad. It just can't pull off the style. I'd have rather by far it was animated traditionally. That said it'll still be a spectacle worth watching. It'll just be unwatchable in a few years. Unfortunately I feel the same way about big chunks of the rebuild movies as well. The cg people walking around look so so SO bad that I can't believe they thought the could use it for more than story boarding. The ONLY time these shambling, souless piece of crap haven't looked awful was in Highschool of the Dead, and that's because they were portraying zombies The melding of styles to make it look passable is interesting, but it's like... clearly traditional animation would look better.

Given Rebuild's "1 movie a year" claim was disproved about 5 years ago, I am highly dubious all three berserk movies will come out in one year.

The beginning of the movie looked awful and I was afraid the whole thing would be this horror show of grotesquely poor cg but they eased up and it ended up being pretty enjoyable and much less distracting. Way way too short, goddamn.

If they removed the CG the movie would be 10 minutes long. You realize the movie is primarily Cg because it's vastly less expensive than hand animation, right? Commie's subs were great, a few typos but more than reasonable for a speed sub. For a movie that literally has a TV series and a comic that are better and basically anyone who is watching this movie has seen and committed to memory, the typos on a first out sub did not bother me. I enjoyed it on the whole, looking forward to the rest, found myself laughing when I watched an ep of detroit metal city and saw some CG that looked better.

Sakurazuka posted:Yeah, the next one is out at the cinema in a couple of months I think, so at least they're being released in a pretty timely manner. Unlike the loving Evangelion movies. The delay for eva is not animation it's writing. They are making it up and doing drastic changes as they go along. And the cg in Eva is as bad as berserks. Looks at the people walking scenes before the school in 2.0. They look like zombies. The bad cg is BAD in berserk. But tere is enough good combos that it makes up for it, while still being vastly worse than what hand animation would accomplish. If they could manage to get out all the movies but take five times as long for the same price with hand animation is take it, but it's VASTLY cheaper, and unfortunately you can tell too often.

Do we have actual figures and responses to those figure from the first movie? Because if they are bad we aren't gonna go anywhere, cheap production or not. Each movie is going to bring in diminishing returns.

Yeah, aside from the fanwanky slowed down 'look how cool thiiiis is!" scenes, I vastly preferred the anime series take. Especially when it comes to side characters and development. The problem is you can make really cool CG stuff, like with FMVs or say Advent Children, but that's a stylization. The problem with this is the CG itself is a style, but it's trying (and failing, mostly) to ape another. It's like not even uncanny valley. It's like uncanny uncanny valley. Like when you see those down syndrome looking girls in the Kanon adaptations.

Yeah, I guess the idea is to get people excited but it feels SOOOO much more like an accompaniment than something that can stand on it's own I'm not sure the audience is there. It certainly wasn't for the series, at the time. I hope it does well overseas but I have a very strong feeling that we will only get the promised three, which is silly since, as stated, there's a pretty good anime version already, and the manga itself. But yeah, there's no way that it was going to start after GA, at least not as movies. It would be totally incomprehensible.

WickedIcon posted:the first movie at the very least holds up pretty well on its own. Ehhhhh I don't know about all that. Nothing that happens in that movie has any build up or makes much sense. It's a bunch of scenes that either look really good or look like a dog just pinched them out, then it ends.

Ccs posted:It's weird, there are all these articles out there saying the second movie is better than the first (like this one: http://kotaku.com/5922239/the-second-berserk-movie-is-better-than-the-first) but from the looks of it that is definitely not true. I think the split is between whether it is a good adaptation (no) or a more coherent stand alone thing (probably not). FiftySeven posted:In defense of the films, the second one in particular, They are trying to adapt a part of the story that could take up way more than 3 films. The changes to the story that they have made are not so huge that they make it incoherent and jarring. It's like anything else. To please the fans, it would have to be 1:1 like the original source, which would make it very difficult to get into for new fans. This isn't a defense, this is an excuse for it being bad, which doesn't stop it from being bad. The reasoning behind making it bad isn't the issue; The issue is that it is bad (it is not good).

Considering the sheer quality of the sporadic chapters, he's hardly just lounging about between putting out the occasional chapter.

It probably has to do with working on the same piece of fiction for 20 years. That's some serious poo poo. It wouldn't be so bad if there was more of a clear direction than the really not terribly compelling 'lets get to elf island!" (never get to elf island) thing.

Dr Subterfuge posted:I'm curious now. Do the movies do this better? All I know about them is from some of the posts in this thread. It actually much much worse than the anime at that. The third movie is pretty dope, and I hated the first two, but they do a real poo poo job at translating the story or the characters, or even making sensible stand alone products.
