Is it a CG studio?
>>138945063
they already fucked up by going with cgi.
>>138945063
>Studio: Liden Films
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>138945063
>Director: Itagaki Shin
Why?
>Teekyu director
AOTY confirmed.
>>138945445
>Tf when Berserk never gets an actually good anime adaptation
Just... Kill me please.
>>138945621
GEMBA is a CG studio. millepensee is rumored to be Itagaki animation studio which he made to more Teekyu.
>>138946015
>>Tf when Berserk never gets an actually good anime adaptation
how young are you?
>Studio: Liden Films
wew lad
so, will this pick up after party of blood and rape?? will we ever reach Berseker armor?

YES

YES YES YES
おいおい外人様も嘆いていらっしゃるぞwwwwwww
どうすんだ?ライデンフィルムwwwwwwwwwwwww
>>138946589
They're going either Black Swordsman Arc or Lost Children Chapter, probably both. Would need 2 cour or 2nd season just to get to the end of Conviction Arc, add the fact that Berserker armor ins't until like a 1/3 of the way into Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc and chances of us ever seeing it are almost nill.
>Tekyuu director
Masterpiece.
>>138945063
>Studio: Liden Films
Well, time to kill myself.
>Director: Itagaki Shin
Wait wait. What.
>>138945063
>Going to air on Animeism block on Summer 2017
I guess Mayoiga and Sinbad are only 1 cour, unless Souma S2 isn't going to air on that block.
>Itagaki directs Berserk
No VA announced for Schierke, guess they are not going to go as far as I would have hoped.
絶対売りスレに外人いるだろwwwww
I just want to see autism casca
>>138946686
No chance in hell of that, need 2 seasons minimum to finish Conviction Arc.
>>138946746
I honestly cant even remember when she shows up, its been so long since I read it.
I want this to stop. I don't understand, why do good series always end up with the worst adaptations and sequels? The original Berserk anime is still the best adaptation of the series, and it was a shoesstring budget flash animation. Why can't they just leave it alone? If they aren't going to do it right, why do it at all?
>>138946746
I remember the arcs, but not the order
>>138945063
>giving a shit about Berserk
>2016
I want you to fucking leave and take your overrated no-plot garbage with you.
>>138946773
>why do good series always end up with the worst adaptations and sequels?
cause the name alone is a fools proof
>>138946773
No idea. It parallels Guts' life, doesn't it? Just a series of hardships and disappointments. No castle in the sky for us, no worthy dream.
>>138946800
After The Eclipse is the Conviction Arc which has 3 Chapters, Lost Children, Binding Chain and Birthing Ceremony. Lost Children would easily be covered in less than 1 cour, but the other two are much longer.
Next is Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc, Schierke appears about half way through the first chapter, Holy Evil War, if I'm remembering correctly.
>>138945063
>the only reason they're makign all those movies is to make up for the drought of Berserk manga
>>138946896
It's Black Swordsman/Golden Age/Blacks Swordsman (assuming we'll ever get any of that which is not Golden animated), Lost Children, Conviction.
買わない外人様が嘆いているよう様子を暫し間ご覧くださいwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Okay, so this is a really fucking weird staff.
Director: Shin Itagaki (The only thing he's been doing recently is 7 seasons of Teekyu. Did Ben-to a few years back too)
Series Compostion: Makoto Fukami (Co-wrote Psycho Pass scripts with Gen Urobuchi. Wrote 6 episodes of Yuri Yuri S3. Not much else)
Series Composition Co-operation: Takashi Yamashita (Almost zero professional experience writing anything)
Character Designer: Hisashi Abe (Chobits, Devil May Cry, Wolverine. Not much recent work)
Music: Shiro Sagisu (Did the music for the Berserk movies)
Animation Production: GEMBA (CG Studio. Did a few mechs for a Macross movie once. Not good. Not even close to good.)
Animation Production: millepensee (Literally has only ever made Teekyu)
Production: LIDEN Films (Shouldn't matter to us at all. They're not animation production, they're just there to make sure production doesn't absolutely collapse and make sure they're not spending all of their money.)
Short form, this isn't a good staff listing and from the looks of it, it will be entirely CGI.
>>138946964
Ah true, forgot about Black Swordsman. Do we know if they're starting with Black Swordsman or skipping straight to Lost Children?
BERSERK WILL MAKE CGI GREAT
>>138946964
>/Golden Age
please, not this, both original anime + the movie trilogy were about this, dont waste more time on thisalthough is the best arc overall
>>138946988
I'm just pointing out that it starts with BS before flashing back to GA, which leads into the conclusion of BS and then moves into LC. It'd be nice to see all of BS animated, since we only got one episode of it in 1997.
>>138946977
What the heck
>>138945063
>Probably more CG garbage
Why can't the Japs understand that 3D has no future in anime?
>>138946604
No matter how bad the CGI is going to be, I'll watch it for Akio Otsuka.
>>138946977
>it will be entirely CGI
>>138947037
it could work, as BS is time line wise all after GA,
>>138947074
>Why can't the Japs understand that 3D has no future in anime?
i bet someone said this at some point when coloring went digital.
mite b cool
So the Berserk movies' cast returns. And we get Yoko Hikasa for Farnese.
>>138946977
>Shiro Sagisu
>not a good staff when he had done EVA and BLEACH
>>138947184
One person doesn't make the stuff good, especially the composer.
>>138945063
>the director of Teekyuu is doing Berserk
Does not compute. Just, what. Will Guts be prone to sudden outbursts of sublime retardation and talking at least 3x normal speed?
>>138947184
>the music is good, surely that will make up for everything else being shit!
>>138947224
It's not Susumu Hirasawa so who gives a fuck.
>>138947074
Why can't you understand that it's the other way around? Nobody is motivated enough to get good at 2D animation nowadays. It's more like anime doesn't have a future, period, and 3D is the only thing that's barely keeping it alive.
>>138947262
>anime doesn't have a future, period
See you in twenty years when it's still going.
>>138945063
>tfw Berserk will never get a good adaption of post-golden age
Christ, just let madhouse do it.
>>138947299
when its 3D, and we already have the expertise, filters nad engines to make it looks like drawn 2D
>>138947322
Yeah, but does a project like this have that experience or budget?
>>138947311
Even if madhouse adapted it,there would be faggots like you complaining about every single thing in order to have something to complain about.
>>138947262
>3D is the only thing that's barely keeping it alive
Give me a call when a CGI anime tops the sale charts... oh wait. CGI filth is consistently amongst the worst sellers.
>>138945588
Fuck off moeshitter.
>>138947262
Bullshit. Japs are awful at 3D, and can't even seem to understand the basics of it. If they stopped paying their 2D animators like shit and making the same shitty anime who don't sell every season, maybe animation would be good again.
>>138947184
>>138947207
>>138947224
>劇中歌:平沢進「灰よ」
Hirasawa once again confirmed for insert song. This time named "Hai yo" (Ash).
>>138947262
What are you even talking about? CGI is not an important factor in the industry right now.
>>138947346
I really don't give a fuck about faggots on 4chan complaining about Berserk, as long as I get a good fucking adaption.
>>138947370
>maybe animation would be good again
Animation's gotten worse?
>>138947341
baby steps, baby steps, Arpergiio, and BBK BRK look good, you can tell its CGI but its better than past experiments
>>138947382
>good adaptation
>this staff
Yeah, right.
>>138947393
>inb4 the otaking squad starts posting OVAs with muh shading
>>138947393
Welcome in the 2010's, where more than half the series every season are LN or manga garbage adaptations.
>>138947426
>animation
>>138947370
Sales have actually been relatively stable since we started getting comprehensive records.
>>138947439
You're right, japanese animation is not animation.
>>138947224
I really hope we get better stuff that that fucking electric guitar shit in the PV. I wouldn't mind it in anything other than Berserk. Doesn't fit at all.
>>138947469
Nigger, one of the advantages of calling it anime is that you don't get ambiguous statements when talking about the actual animation involved. Stop being a retard and use the normal terms.
>>138947370
>If they stopped paying their 2D animators like shit
and china will pay their workers fair too
I feel bad for the guys but most of em do it out of passion (cause working for a fucking 7/11 pays you better)
thats why going for tech that easy up their job is the future...(or all go jobless)
>Teekyu director
The fuck...
>>138945063
Why not just continue the fucking story from the original anime adaption?! I watch it every few years and it still makes me cry when it ends after the eclipse.
>>138946977
That sounds like a terrible staff
>>138947405
I was under the assumption that we were speaking about the hypothetical scenario in which Madhouse would take over.
>>138947587
>Why not just continue the fucking story from the original anime adaption?
cause that was what Gold Age III did, just a little after eclipse
>>138947617
I'm saying continue that anime(100% 2d animation and none of that 2d3d shit).
>>138947674
im kinda of sure that non anime now days is 100% 2D, or maybe just like 1 per season at best.
you must let em try, is no, they will never get better and we will be stuck with mediocre shit for ever
Why are people surprised at the Teekyu director? This was confirmed to be a short comedy anime with Berserk characters months ago.
>>138947824
I'd honestly prefer that.
>>138947552
3D doesn't make things easier. If the backgrounds or characters are fucked up, nothing you'll try will work. Rendering is a pain in the ass and costs a lot of money, wich most productions don't seem to have. And most 3D animators are shit anyway.
>>138946977
Canipa pls.
I guess the silver lining is we are getting a new Hirasawa piece. Hopefully it's as good as everything else he has done.
>>138945063
wow, shit staff for a shit adaption nobody asked for.
>>138947847
>Rendering is a pain in the ass and costs a lot of money
Pixar maybe, anime CGI is more affordable
>>138947587
It's like Superman/Batman/Spiderman, EVERY adaptation has to show their stupid origin story even though everyone knows it, but in Berserk's case the "origin story" is long as hell.
I've given up on a good complete adaptation of Berserk, it'll never happen, just read the manga.
it's not fucking fair. Moefags are fucking laughing at us.
Stop getting mad. All anime will be CGI in 7 years.
literally who's?
>>138947917
Oh don't worry, Berserk will get the adaptation it deserves one day.
Just long after we're dead
>>138947985
Fuck off moeshitter.
>>138947902
No it's not. Unless you're calculating some shit without textures, rendering is one of the most expensive things since it's never right the first time and there's always tons of problems with it.
I mean Liden films aren't the best looking studio but the Terra Formars adaptation was pretty solid so lets pray.
>>138948004
Anyone who dislikes moe things is probably a tryhard, and anyone coming to /a/ while shitting on moe things is probably a cancerous /v/faggot who watches four shows a season max and then desperately insists he's into anime.
>>138948022
>you fucking have to like moeshit or you should just fuck off.
Jesus christ, is there even any reason for me to discuss with a person as dogmatic as you?
>>138948054
You do realize that "probably" is the exact opposite of dogmatic, right? It's just a statistical tendency - the people who shit on that stuff like you're doing typically watch very little and complain about the industry constantly and have anime as a secondary hobby or something like that.
I'm not even going to watch it. Fuck this. Berserk deserves the best 2D animation
>>138948073
That is the case, yeah, /v/ shitters are a cancer and should be dealt with by hostility.
That does not warrant shitting on everyone who hates moe though, especially on a Berserk thread (I assume that /v/ shitters like stuff like Jojo now? Or OPM?)
>>138948054
What do you think fuck off means? No one wants you to discuss anything, we want you to leave.
>>138948010
>Unless you're calculating some shit without textures
and anime CGI is more plain, more about filters nad light than textures
>>138948120
>we
I will never been content with 3D animation unless its Advent Children-tier.
>>138948120
>we
Fuck off.
>>138948120
Fuck off moeshitter, if this was a moe-thread(for lack of better term) I would agree with you to tell shonenfags to fuck off, but no one asked you moeshitters to shit on edgeshit in a fucking Berserk thread.
Fuck off, you're not welcome, and you're not contributing, lurk more, and stop mentioning the cesspit of shit that is /v/.
>>138948145
No one's shitting on edgeshit or Berserk, though.
>>138945223
Terrible... KILL ME
The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing Guts has to suffer far worse things than this
>>138948247
Yeah, like being the MC of a manga that will never end and having a waifu who doesn't recognize him and is retarded since more than 20 years.
Not even remotely excited anymore.
Who originally thought it was a good idea to do Berserk in CG with the Golden Age movies anyway? Why a medieval setting? It makes no fucking sense. It doesn't fit at all.
>>138948280
>Why a medieval setting?
What?
thank god the shit series gets another shitty adaptation
>>138948280
CG never looks good no matter what the setting.
>>138945063
>teekyu director
Huh? Well, at least he's expanding his horizons.
>>138948280
I remember reading that is was to do with the large battle scenes and armor. They didn't have the budget to animate everything without it.
I imagine they wanted to save costs also (as originally they planned to do more movies past the Golden Age), but by the time the third one came around they knew it wasn't going anywhere. That's probably why it looked the best out of the three.
>>138948312
>mfw Berserk became moe
>>138948298
CG is more often used in high-tech settings where there are robots or cars or whatever. It sort of makes sense for those types of anime (though like >>138948307 said, it's always shit) there's no fucking purpose for a medieval style series like Berserk to use CG.
>>138948307
Macross Zero did it well most of the time.
>>138948328
>becomes
>>138948303
Back to your Keion thread you vermin.
>>138948328
>the Berserk anime will actually be about Isidro and Puck comical duo, with guests like Farnese or Skull Knight
It's going to be good, just don't Hype, expect the worst.
Well, it can't be worse than the movies, right?
>>138948328
>implying berserk isn't moe
>>138948312
Maybe this means that we'll get more than two cours this time.
>>138948444
Well, they probably won't have the movies budget.It'll probably be far less.
Akio Ohtsuka is voicing Skull Knight again? Well I have my reason for ignoring the CG hate and watching this.
>Yoko Hikasa is playing another slut
Colour me surprised, she's playing another worst girl
Mai Nakahara as Schierke when?
>>138945936
>Berserk with Teekyuu's pacing and animation
I never knew I wanted this.
>>138948444
The movies had some semblance of traditional animation, especially in the second and third installments. This whole thing is gonna be CG worse than the first movie.
>>138948651
Don't forget the Susumu Hirasawa insert song and Unsho Ishizuka as narrator. Seriously they have the sound nailed, why did they have to fuck up what we visually have to see so badly?
>that cast
So it's not Golden Age again, thank fuck
>>138945063
>Basquash director
Maybe.
>>138945063
Itagaki Shin is too good for Berserk.
Fuck the haters
>>138945063

Why the fuck don't these people actually give a shit about 2D animation? E-fucking-nough with this CGI meme.
>>138945063
What the hell is wrong with Guts face? He looks ugly as shit.
>>138950078
The shitposting is already here.
>>138950078
It's already here. Imagine how fast it'll flop because these imbeciles can't hire a competent staff.
>Year of the Buddha Twenty Six Teen
>CGI anime
I think what gets me the most is that they purposefully take out frames so that it emulates how 2D animation flows, making it look fucking janky
Expelled from Paradise had decent action scenes though
>>138950033
fixed a few things too
>>138945063
>Director: Itagaki Shin(Teekyu s1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
It may be shit, but I will still watch every second of it. I really hope the animation will not be that much CGI as it seems to be. After all in Black Swordsman arc, nor even Lost Children you don't really have full scale battles like in Golden Age, only Guts vs everyone.
Pic rel is probably the closet we get to something like that in those arcs.
>>138950248
They just need to go back 2D. CGI isn't good on anything and it's getting really fucking annoying.
At least someone gets the memo.

>>138949905
>>138950277
Brilliant.
>>138945063
Why couldn't those faggots get Orange or the studio who is animating Bubuki Buranki this season to animate Berserk
This is just his side project waiting for more teekyuu to adapt, right?
>>138950339
Better yet, why not just make it handdrawn in the first place?
>>138950277
saved
They couldn't get the Rage of Bahamut staff and studio for this?
>>138946977
>this fucking staff
it's gonna be one hell of a ride
>>138950358
Because it would look absolutely terrible unless it's 99% stills like the original Berserk anime.
>>138950358
Because we aren't in the past grandpaI'm serious though, if it can be animated as well as Buranki is being animated then I don't really give a fuck, the PV we saw had him being stiff as fuck
>Berserk
Who cares?
>>138950395
>hand drawn
>past
We might as well call Instruments "old" because we can just compose them on a Ipad!
>>138950366
Funny you should say that given a large portion of the main animators used for Bahamut worked on the 4C° Berserk movies in the first place.
Wonder what Miura thinks of this
>>138950467
Absolutely nothing, he barely even cares about berserk anymore
>>138950467
Who cares, the guy is on hiatus.
>>138950467
he approved this since he said "YES" to an anime adaptation obviously
>>138950461
The 4°C movies looked great during 2D sections, if not a bit too clean
this is too, predestined
>>138949905
>>138950277
>>138950515
God fucking damn it, I can't imagine what they'd do with Vinland Saga if it were EVER animated.
>>138945063
>>138946977
>>138950431
fuck off casual
>Those staff
I'm ready for the ride
>>138946977

R-right? I liked the music of the movies...

>>138950844
Yeah, that's true. I guess cute always sells.
http://anichart.net/spring
what anime is an example of how berserk should be made then, by which studio?
cant be a studio that doesnt do loli nudity.
>>138950811
Wouldn't it make for an interesting experiment?
Who knows, it might turn out better than imagined.I'm worried for the way they'll translate Puck's jokes into animation.
>>138948120
>we
not your personal army, moecancer
So, what would you rather have? Studio Pierrot animating Berserk or CGshit?
>>138951222
studio filler?
>>138950596
MORE SERIOUS
>>138950912
Is this a PV for this serie? I've only seen a shitty CGI one with skeletons. This one doesn't look that bad.
Although I find it strange that he just attaches his arm like that, I always though that those metal straps on his arm were also part of it, and couldn't be separated. I think that would make it more solid.
On further inspection they got it right. In pic rel he puts the straps first, and only attaches the hand after that.
>>138951372
That's the teaser from the third movie.
>>138945063
GRIFFITH DID THIS
3d animation is the queen bee of anime
>>138947235
I'll miss having Hirasawa all-throughout.
At least he's doing the intro...
>>138948328
Oh, you mean page 7?
>>138950912
>Puck
Ideally, they'll cut out the more incongruous comic relief.
Which is sadly 95% of his screen-time nowadays.
>>138952216
>Ideally, they'll cut out the source content the original creator explicitly felt was necessary
Fuck off.
>>138952178
pluck is not moe.
>>138952339
You want them to take the time to animate every fourth-wall breaking Yoda joke?
Pre-Golden Age is the only time Puck acts like an actual character and not as a comic-relief backdrop to everything else going on.
>2016
>asking for 2d berserk animation with non-shit detailization
>>138952556
Oh yeah?
who cares
alright, I think that's enough
>>138952678
qt
Dropped.
Okay, one more.
>>138952633
Puck was still a comic foil back then. But he was actually capable of emoting and interacting with characters beyond making referential jokes.
>No Susumu Hirasawa
H-hey at least the CGI got decent by the third movie, r-right?
>>138952853
He can do that post-Golden Age too, just not as often since the tone overall is much lighter.
>>138952898
I can barely remember the last time Puck wasn't chibi.
With the main cast as big as it is now he's lost any purpose in the group dynamic.
>>138952860
Susumu Hirasawa is writing an insert song for the series.
>>138952860
Hirasawa is doing the OP.
>>138952678
Miura can sure draw waifus
>>138945063
>Liden Films
This adaptation just can't get any shittier
>>138952860
t-that old man has better teeth than mine..
>>138946977
>Animated by literally who studio
I'd take Liden over Gemba or whatever it is
>>138953060
And then murder them shortly after
If worst comes to worst, I'll still be happy to see animated Farnese and Serpico after all this time.
>>138945223
>LIDEN FILMS
First they ruined Terra Formars, then Arslan, and now they are going for Berserk. Someone please, stop them
>>138952462
You can't deny it.
>>138953083
Fuck you, I was thinking the same
>>138953279
Rickert is right
>>138948383
This possibility frightens me more than any of the existential horror that Berserk used to be about.

Wait, what, I didn't read this anywhere

> Shiro Sagisu
He's such a horrible match for Berserk and made the already terrible movies even more shit with his awful soundtrack, why do they keep hiring him?

The soundtrack is one of the few things that was done right in the movies, at the very least I'd give them that, all of it felt ominous and building up to a disaster

They killed Schwarzesmarken too, this very season. Everything they touch turns into a turd.

This. Soundtrack in the movies was really good. I loved that chromatic sounding piano at the eclipse, too.
It's been a while since I've watched the movies, but I seem to remember that there were too many scenes without music at all, that bothered me.

>at least the CGI got decent by the third movie
I always thought the animation looked fine outside of action scenes.

>implying it will look that good
Your hopes are too high, anon. It will be even worse.
Will they animate the Blacked Swordsman getting Blacked?

The animation was terrible when there were many armored characters. So all the battles basically.
Check out this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RjnvvCvNy0
If the whole trilogy was as well animated as this fight, it would be great, but at the end you see once again that whole armoured units are done terribly in CGI, that's what makes it unbearable.

It's canon whether you like it or not, anon.

Schwarzesmarken is great though

They had a brief apperance in the second berserk movie in the ballroom dance.
