Watched both eps and I agree 100% with shinta. Bad bad bad. Even having a great storyboard on the manga they manage to mess it up. I dont know wtf they were thinking. This is a crime.

The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
I wonder how the art director can tolerate that when he compares to some masterpiece level scenes of the manga, showing a great deal of fine details.
Or he has a grudge against the manga artist and it is his insults against him...
I'm not sure the Geneva rules tolerate such lowly weapons of art destruction...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Maybe Berserk isn't popular in Japan at all and this is the biggest budget they could get?
Peace.
I dont think it is a budget issue. I think that this is a comercial/economic decission. They make the series and game similar so that it all makes one corpus or experience. This kind of things sell well in Japan I believe. Cross-platform or enhanced experience and so.
Having a cell game and a handart series would break that union thread. Im sure they are making way more $ from the game than the series so in the end its just to be expected that the game is the one reigning.
But said that... they have butchered the series. Its a sad day.

Worst of all is the article on Kotaku.com about this new anime. Praises it and calls it better than the original anime-series in every regard.

I really liked episode 2. The animation is absolute garbage, yes, but I thought the direction and voice acting were excellent. The music also fits the atmosphere very well. I don't know why they chose this animation style, but if cheap CG means they can animate more episodes, I see that as a good thing.
I won't argue about the music since that's mainly preferential, but what part of the direction was "excellent" in this episode? I'm not trying to attack you or anything. I'm genuinely curious because I didn't see it.
Peace.
Well, I don't have specifics, but I thought the scene with Guts and Farnese in the tent was done particularly well. There was a lot of variety to the scene despite being confined to a small tent with two people. Overall they are doing a good job with the camera angles and transitions that would be hard to pull off in a full 2D series. They just have to be careful to not over-do it, which the first episode did a little.
Also, Farnese is hot.
Still can't see it. It was standard camera work, with nothing standing out. That's not a bad thing, but I wouldn't call it excellent. It's acceptable.
Peace.
To each their own. I'm also a crazy Berserk superfan, so I may be a little biased.
I'm surprised a fan enjoys this so much, not that I find anything wrong with that. I'd think a fan would be more strict and demanding when it comes to adaptations.
Peace.
Generally speaking that's not necessarily true. There are those fans who are super purists and there are fans who are glad to see anything new, within reason. Personally I don't think this show is an utter catastrophe. But then again, I reckon I'm more tolerant than many.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
The CG is bad, but overall the Berserk atmosphere is there and it seems to be true to the original. I can look past the animation. The original Berserk is still one of my favorite series, despite the dated animation. None of the Berserk adaptions live up to the manga though.
That's the sad part. Several adaptations have proven that the anime adaptation can indeed exceed the source (i.e. Fate/Zero). This was one of the shows that deserved that exception, particularly due to how long the fans have waited.
Peace.
episode 3 is out
-----------------------
I donīt get it. Is the director for this anime simply incompetent, or did they just say "screw the horse rape scene, letīs put in no effort at all!"? That scene was awful! Rushed, silly animated, then ended abruptly. It completely lacked the horror that it had in the manga. It was supposed to be a slow, brooding scene, a giant horse cock being hinted at in the shadows, closing in on the helpless, innocent girl. Closer, ... closer, ... and closer. THEN Guts comes in to save her.
But they completely fucked it up. sigh
Other than that ... meh. Serpico is great. Thatīs about it.

It's weird this episode again felt worse after the second one. The camera was back to strange places, angles, zooms, and cuts. I reckon the second ep merely happened to have the kind of content that didn't necessite the foolishness in the director's opinion.
I can't help but wonder why the graphics are so bad. I sometimes get used to them during the action, but unlike with something like Arpeggio, for example, there's no sign I would get completely used to them as episodes go by. When the action ceases for a moment, I find myself staring at the subpar ugliness, hardly believing it.
What the hell was that noise we got when Guts was cutting through things? Im not an expert at slicing dogs and horses but Im pretty sure that it wouldnt sound like a frying pan.
About all the changes and omissions they are doing, a whole arc with awesome fetus fire extinguishers and "children" slicing, in the show I would like to think that it is cause they want this to be clasified for underaged.

No nipples. WOT.
Peace.
it looks so stupid, and it makes no sense.

I know I'm the guy that always exhort people to power through it and make peace with it, but man saw a few seconds of Berserk and couldn't handle this shit. Can't believe these people trolled us this way, fucking wasted opportunity after they had us waiting this long for one of the most popular series ever and this is the crap they come up with?
Fuck it, not going to give it a chance. And fuck whomever's decision it was to release this piece of shit animation.
