Was it REALLY that bad? After hearing everyone bitch and moan about it I went in expecting an absolute shitstorm
The only problems it has is the CGI and some of the QUALITY, but the OST was fucking fantastic and it captured the feeling of the series pretty well.
Figured you guys would overreact to everything, it's not the best but it's certainly not shit. I get chills from that ending scene with the OST just before the ED comes on, that shit was well done.
Even if the anime flops, at least we can all agree the OST so far is great right?

I think you should be aware of new style.
Each version of berserk is great for me, with his own perception, 97 anime, trilogy golden age , manga, video game ... it's a real pleasure.
I want to say kentaro miura valid all project, so it's not bullshit :ganishka:
I see a lot of haters about everything on internet, people are never happy! :mozgus:
I see a new berserk anime , a new berserk video game, the story of the manga become interesting again... It's wonderfull :griffnotevil:
Eat some berserk and open your mind my friends! This serie have an identity, a special style artistic so be happy

The pacing, character design, imagery, music and general direction were largely fine (to me, that hasn't read Berserk for about 5 years and recalls little of the original chapters) but anime is a primarily visual medium and Jesus fucking Christ the CGI was horrendous.

What the fuck is enjoyable about it? They butchered the canon, it feels rushed, nothing is getting established well, the music doesn't fit and in most cases is lazy remixes of the movie soundtrack. I'm sure if you went in never reading the manga it would still be complete fucking garbage because of how schizophrenic the elements feel together and how fast paced and stupid the scenes are.

Not really. Also it's the first episode, they had to cover what was generally going on in Black Swordsman + Lost Children, the pacing will defintiely slow down now with Tower of Conviction.

>nothing is getting established well
Like what? The one thing this episode tried (and succeded) to establish was Guts's personality, and his abnormal daily life post-Eclipse. They also set up other lore shit, like the prophetic/fate side of things (Schierke at the start), and the way elves are seen by common people.

Arguing that we should lower our expectation because "it's an adaptation" is a shit piece of an argument. This is Berserk and it deserves a good adaptation, not something we should watch and say "IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING!".
It was horrible an if you think we'll get decent pacing with 12 episode you are sorely mistaken.

>>
>>143586744
>How so?
They skipped Lost Children and are skipping most of Black Swordsman. They combined Snake Baron's men with the guys who get possessed by the evil tree. Isidro is introduced as a fucking bartender. They'll have to write in Guts getting the behelit in some other new retarded way since they aren't doing the Count. The dream Guts has was altered poorly. Casca is white now. Ton of other shit if I sat and thought about it long enough.

>Not really.
Kind of, yes. There's no need to show Schierke at this point, but they still did. Black Swordsman and Lost Children got the knife so they're combining different scenes together. The storyboard and music also throw the pacing off to be some crazy action series when this is really not the tone of Berserk and never was.

>Like what?
See above. Schierke was shoehorned in, Isidro's intro is shoehorned in, the behelit will no doubt be shoehorned in. But the worst thing here is Puck, since they're cutting out most of Black Swordsman and Lost Children, how the fuck will he develop alongside Guts? Those are like the MAIN FUCKING ARCS where we only see Guts and Puck together! Later on, Puck acts like they've been together fighting apostles for a long time now. They can't give him that attitude anymore, because it'll never happen. We'll be thrown right into the Conviction arc. Pre-turnip Puck is getting axed for the most part, which is shit.

>I liked it.
Fine, but I didn't. I thought tonally it had nothing to do with Berserk, and I hated that there were remixes of the movie soundtrack. The movie soundtrack fit Golden Age enough, not perfectly, but it did the job for the most part since Golden Age is about grand battles in a more classical medieval feeling era. That shit does not fit anymore, but neither does the new stuff.

Not that guy, but Isidro is portrayed as a thief who couldn't stand being home with his parents / guardians and doesn't take well to authority figures so he left very young to live on his own and find his own way. Also, he's just a kid. Being a bartender is just stupid here and doesn't fit.
>>
>>143587214
My argument is that it shouldn't be changed because there's no reason to change it. I'm here to watch Berserk, not a chinese ripoff.

Yours is that it's ok to not change it, because it's a minor thing. As it's a minor thing to not animate both the Count and th eLost Childrens arc. After all, they can just explain the Behelit in another way, right?

Did you watch the episode? He's not a bartender, he was trying to get into that merc band, and they basically had him serving drinks.

Alright, so you are just a sperg who can't handle watching adaptations.
Yes, skipping Lost Children sucks, but mostly for the fights and character developments. Plot points like the Behelit actually can be introduced very easily. Hell, they could just say he already had it from an earlier Apostle he killed and be done with it.

>That feel when I can animate better than the stuff shown in this episode
Japanese aren't good enough with 3D yet, they constantly go overboard with the panning and rotating cameras.

They actually have limited 3D animation, which is something completely retarded in of itself because the inbetweens are automatically generated between key frames.

I can't believe they didn't learn any lessons on the movie trilogy, which wasn't too bad but this is just several steps down in terms of quality in every front. Specific scenes during fighting were just incomprehensible.

Framing, pacing, animation and even the soundtrack was frankensteined from the old anime and movies.

I'm going to keep watching because it's awe inspiring that my fellow students can do a better job than these guys. S

Super small detail, he's still serving drinks like one. I can't see him doing this ever regardless of what it was for, and the fact he so quickly shifts attitude about it is retarded and makes the scene feel shallow. There was no reason for the change aside from the fact they need to cram and rush things.

Can you please stop arguing by insulting other people or is it impossible for you? Yes, adaptations change things, but this doesn't mean all adaptations are good. There's a degree of change I can accept, some that I can't.
Skipping two entire arcs is not ok. If it's fine for you, great, but don't just say "they can explain it in another way" because then it's not berserk anymore. You entire argument is that it's ok to change stuff granted they animate the parts that YOU want to see.

But he also displays a dislike for crummy mercs early on in the manga and a sense of idealism. Why the fuck would he even want to join these douchebags? We would have seen him doing that at some point in the manga, but I can't recall it ever happening.

The worst part to me is the tone. It doesn't feel like Berserk at all.

What do they think Berserk is, fucking Attack on Titan or Kill la Kill or some shit?

Let's be completely honest here and stop being butthurt the show isn't the perfect adaptation we wished it was (and which the manga deserves).

First episode was, all in all, pretty bad. The CGI was painful to watch, there were a few mistakes in the sounds, and some stuff was changed from the manga.

However, it was not THE HORRIFYING CATASTROPHE you autists make it out to be. It wasn't good, but it wasn't unwatchable garbage either.

If I had to rate the 1st ep, I'd give it a 5.5/10, and the OP was alright.
You faggots would call any berserk adaptation shit, but you need to understand it's not easy to adapt something as successful and polished as Berserk. This one looks mediocre but definitely not a complete failure.

I mean I think they have a good style to the cg with the shader they got going on. But they need to completely redo Guts' model and work on the animation. The animation lacks any sense of weight or impact and Guts looks retarded anytime he's cg on screen. Also work on the sword sound effects. The DONGs sound dry and like a bell not something slicing through bone and rotted flesh.

Like anywhere else you have specific directors with specific styles. Berserk isn't directed the same way Gits:innocence was which isn't directed the same way Knights of Sidonia was.

The director of Berserk is known for directing closer to the way music videos are, that is why the show is the way it is. Not because he happens to be Japanese.

This is just bargaining. It's what people used to say with Jojo and the awful OVAs. "It's not easy to adapt it, it's not fleasible, the fights they cut wouldn't look good animated", etc etc etc.

It just takes a good studio with understanding and love for the source material.

I'm talking about TV animation, film production is another thing entirely and their production time wrings out most kinks.

However even in Gits:innocence the spinning cameras during the parade for example could've all just been held shots and been more appealing, every single scene. It's just exacerbated when it's a TV production.

Imagine how bad the rest of the series is going to look. A lot of anime go overboard on the first episode to get the audience hooked. Fucking dragon ball supers first episode looks amazing and then it turns into an ms paint comic.

So if this is episode one, then this shit is likely the best they could do. It'll only get worse from here on out.

You don't even need 60fps, just auto-generated frames on 1s at 24fps is more than enough. Here's some of my student work at 24fps, I have less keyframes than that sidonia clip linked and everything is done with clean splines.

Interpolation is gross anyways.

I love the show because it's Berserk. Yet I'm disappointed that it goes against everything I was taught in the past 3 years and I can read the flaws and understand why it looks so bad.

More importantly it had excellent direction and atmosphere flying out of its ass in every scene.

Even ignoring the awful cg and changes, the new Berserk is incredibly shoddily directed.

I'm pretty sure that skeleton fight is the 3D equivalent of a series of action stills too, that was barely a fight.

I can honestly say I don't mind the CG. Don't get me wrong, it does look really ugly, really often, but so long as the story and dialogue are there from the books, I can definitely handle the shitty CG.

That being said, I was incredibly disappointed that they skipped the entire Black Swordsman Arc and the Lost Children chapter. It felt like such a missed opportunity for them (including Miura) to go back and polish the Black Swordsman up to make it as great as other arcs like Conviction. It also seems like a mistake since Conviction happens chronologically right after Black Swordsman, and we got the Golden Age movies already as a sort of prequel. All-in-all, I'm disappointed on pretty much every front. CG aside, I was hoping this would be the chosen one.
>>
>>143589979
Yes, animation, as opposed to a still shot of Guts standing in front of a tree which is exploding despite no scene of him actually slashing it having ever been shown, with shakey camera being used in place of actual animation, despite the fact that it costs literally nothing to move a prerendered CGI model

Voice acting was good, Opening was nice, I'd say about 65% of the 3D was passable, all of the 2D was amazing.
Overall I'd give it a 7/10

Friend, how goes the drawing?

You didn't forget about the drawing, did you?
>>
Do any of you like Griffith?

>>143590610
Their worst game is AC4 and fuck you if you think otherwise you fucking souls babby.
>>
>>143590416
They've already told us DS3 was the last souls game they're going to make

I like Griffith's character and the scenes between him and Guts during the Golden Age arc.
But as a person? Griffith is a piece of shit.
>>
>>143590605
Opening pan of the village, Pucks face for 5 seconds, Guts eating, Gut's face for 3 seconds in the carriage, and that's practically it.

I really live for those 5 second 2D bursts.

No one cares about AC

I really don't get why Berserk hasn't had a good adaption yet. I mean, come on, it's one of the best know and popular series around and has tons of fans. Why does it always get relegated to some shit CGI or a slideshow?

Fuck, The Heroic Legend of Arslan anime looked 1000 times better than this and its no where near as well known or popular. Why does berserk keep getting shafted?

>>143590001
IIRC it has a circle link on it that I assume hooks onto gut's armor somewhere, Godo would have seen to that shit.

I have no idea about the Berzerker armour though.

>>143590265
I don't get why you fags think From would make a good straight up Berserk game. They're games don't play anything like how Berserk should be played.
>>
>>143590676
Of course not, buddy.

Didn't know you were a Berserk fan.
>>
>>143590863
I assume not enough women like it to justify the expense.
>>
Why does it change art style every other fucking scene

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GET PEOPLE THAT HAVE ONLY MADE MOE SHIT TO MAKE FUCKING BERSERK
>>

Why is guts eating a burger the best reaction image?
