Any redeeming qualities /a/?
>>143591556
the intro was pretty nice
>>143591556
Eliminates the need to argue over which is the worst show of the season.
>>143591556
Sone of the voice acting's alright.
When I see shows of such low quality you have to wonder what is going through the mind of the animators, directors and producers when they see the final product and think.....
Yes....yes this is good. We couldn't have done better.
It actually happened
>>143592544
>Yes....yes this is good. We couldn't have done better.
This is not what they are thinking. What they are thinking is "this what we could do with the money and time we had".
Hai Yo will be good and Puck makes me rock hard, but everything else is terrible.
It was better than the movie's cg stuff but jesus christ I don't understand why it's so hard to pull off
Ni No Kuni did it flawlessly
Wasn't the budget of the movies movies lot higher than of the show? So why do people complain about the animation? Sure the 3d is as good as it could be, and it'd be better with 2d, but it's good regardless
>>143592544
In all likelihood, this is nothing more than a cash grab. I'd be surprised if they gave a damn about quality or making sure Berserk is represented well. The '97 anime had a shoestring budget, but was clearly made with heart and appreciation for the series.
>>143591556
The only thing I like about it is that it's so shitty you don't get many apologists.
There have been so many adaptations I've disliked, and yet people around me would just look at how much they clumsily copy/pasted from the source and say IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME THING YOU FUCKING CONTRARIAN.
Not with this anime though. Here everything is so wrong so hard that it feels like the entire web is united in taking a fraternal dump on it, and whomever tries to defend it will be justly laughed at and dismissed with joyful contempt. It's refreshing, really.
>>143593126
>better than the movies
>>143593204

>>143591556
It is a source for excellent reaction images such as the one pictured in OP's post

>>143593622
That's not /v/, those are shitposts.
This shit will be unwatchable for people unfamiliar with Berserk. There's no reason for them to watch the second episode
>>143591556
It's literally 200% quality: The meme
>>143593766
Which kill la kill episode is this?
>>143593772
Theres no difference, anon.
>>143593842
>>143591556
I hope the rest of the anime is as much of a meme factory as the first episode was. I'll just think of it as Mayoiga Season 2
>>143593869

>>143591556
Probably...the soundtrack....which itself should be pretty good as a stand-alone but is used badly in the first episode...
Also, hopefully we get more Berserk merch.
That's literally it though. Makes we wonder how the hell they're going to handle this fight in the arc.
>>143591556
Maybe Guts should have stayed on that boat.

>>143593972
I know that's Kotaku and I should expect such retardation and I saw it last night but that article still pisses me the fuck off.
Berserk fans are weird, everytime something happens with Berserk all they do is want to watch it fail.
Don't get mad when Mirua gives it a half ass ending and abandons the cancer.
I like it, sorry.
Excited for episode 2
>think it can't get any worse
>this scene happens
Why does it sound like he's swinging a fucking girder lol
>>143591556
Not really as bad as people say.
The animation does give me a headache, though.
>>143599348
He has a big metal clip attached to the sword, so when he swings it it makes a metal on metal clang.
Sure is a funny meme though.
>>143591556
Like half of the ost sounds good, and the voice acting is pretty solid for everybody. The best part of it is the threads though. Everything else about it is terrible.
Will there be fire masturbation, though?
>>143599274
I would love to see new berserk things succeed, but this was clearly going to be a failure when the first PV came out.
>>143591556
I enjoyed it and have literally no problem with anything about it so far. The cgi looks good at 60 fps.
The opening was garbage though.
>>143594577
Judge me to be guilty for my incurable sins
>>143599430
>clang happens to coincide every time with the sword hitting something
>>143591556
Why are anon this retarded?
The CG isn't done by him, it's done by Egawa Hisashi and Satou Atsushi at the studio Gemba and those guys have nothing to do with Teekyu.
The only staff member who worked on Teekyu is Itagaki Shin (the director of Berserk) and the studio Millepense, which handle the 2d. You can see that the 2d was pretty fine in the opening even there were some few QUALITY. (Best part of Episode 01)
The real problem is the use of CGI and the one who does the Series Composition Fukami Makoto and his assistant Yamashita Takash because the pace they chose is terrible.
There is also a problem with the sound directing which is going to be fixed in the next episodes, hopefuly.
You know what, I didn't knew about until much recently and I seriously tried my best to try to enjoy... Whatever the heck episode 1 was. I enjoyed the manga, I admittedly haven't seen any actual anime adaptation of it. I mostly prefer mangas since I can skim through the story much quicker and no matter how crummy the art style may be, it's actually something done by the author itself, which I admire in most manga works.
I just couldn't. Every time I tried to give it a chance, the CG animation managed to look REALLY off and awkward every fucking time afterwards.
This might have been okay.If it were a PS4 game and these were CG cutscenes for it.And even then, I'm not sure.
Otherwise, to use this technique on a actual animated series? Just fucking forget about it because at least to me, it just doesn't work.
It's not to say this couldn't have looked nice with CG animation in mind. But this feels like it was made with barely any love to it, the animations just feel too erratic for my own good, more like it was simply made to make people remember Berserk is still a thing.
I'm not saying Berserk is some mesmerizing masterpiece that have this magnificent piece of work dedicated to it because it isn't, it definitely has its flaws, but of all ways they could have done to pay tribute to the manga, this definitely wasn't one of them.
>>143599430
The point is his sword sounds fucking hollow you rampaging asshole. Have yoy nevet played with a metal pipe as a child? Solid metal doesn't make resounding clangs like in this anime, it has a deeper noise.
>>143599662
>>143599661
2 pasta at the same time
Sasuga /a/
It's a fucking mess
But at least it's an interesting mess
>>143599647
When you hit something, your sword will slow down.
This would cause the clip to flip up due to the sudden stop.
But because it is connected it would end fly off, it would smack the sword.
They had an episode of Bill Nye talking about the principle.

As a metal worker, you're a cunt and you need to stop explaining things you do not understand. A giant slab of metal would never sound like it does in this episode no mattet how you hit it, metal ring attached or no.

Yeah, fuck this. Dropped.
Pros:
>The VAs were decent
>Fight scenes were okay
>Music was good
>The OP is good
Cons:
>CG is shit
>Sounds are crap
>The way the music cuts is very jarring and doesn't fit well

I was just explaining why it sounded the way it did.

*That "should" have this magnificent piece of work dedicated to it because it isn't

>>143600025
Then we can agree it sounds bad and lessens the impact of the strikes and continue making fun of it, yeah?
>>143599974
>music was good
everything but the battle music
that sounded like fucking ass
The number of changes they've made to reduce violence is baffling. I'd of preferred having black shadows, mosaics and other bullshit everywhere then having an uncensored disc release. As it stands now the disc release is going to be a neutered show that downplays everything that makes Berserk into Berserk.
Shit is super disappointing and makes me appreciate the movies we got so much more. I wish Studio 4C had been contracted to make more Berserk instead of getting this toned down baby shit. I'm so sick of Japan being such gigantic pussies now.
>>143600034

Fun fact: The upcoming Berserk Musou game will also be censored in Japan. All the dismemberment and extreme gore will only be in the US version. The CERO rating system in Japan has become a de facto censor.
Anyone who grew up in the 80's or 90's can feel just how toned down anime and JP games have become. The only thing still allowed to be edgy is manga and even that's at risk of being censored soon.

Honestly, I would rather have it look like that episode of Gurren Lagann when the art direction was all fucked, than the CG. Even if it doesn't match the art style of the rest of the series, at least it's tolerable. And cheap, since money is obviously an issue with this incarnation.

I like the look of the show more than I thought I would, and by that I mean it doesn't really bother me. I wish they would make it a little less noticeable though. Slowing down the frame rate and choosing the right camera movements would make the CGI not so god damn noticeable.
>>143602448

It's still a great representation of the conviction arc, something we have never seen animated before. Guts is edgy as hell in this, but it's very true to the manga at the time, it's how he acted early on before he mellowed out, most of the lines are straight out of the manga.

>>143591556
I can deal with the 3DCG even though it's poor. They can improve, and although the model rendering looks derpy most of the time, you can see they're trying a lot with the actual animation.
I can deal with the blend of chapters too. I don't like it, but if they actually make it fit, I guess I can kinda turn a blind eye.
The censorship though? On a Berserk adaptation? DROPPED.

The scene of him cooking and eating a rabbit wasn't in there either, but it was still a good scene. They are taking some creative freedom with the minor details while keeping true to the grand story, which is something that excites me, they aren't just following a script, they are trying to keep it new and interesting,
Don't be so quick to pass judgment, berserk has never had a high budget, the animation isn't the best, but it's not about the animation, it's about the story
>>143603565
That poor thing really have nothing in its life.

>Some retard who defends the 90's anime is an accurate representation of all berserk fans
>>143603928
I fit in you're mum last night m8.
Berserk should never be adapted. Let's just drop the idea of watching Berserk and keep reading it.
4/10 if it was any other anime, 6/10 or 7/10 at best just because you like berserk, 3d just looks bad
>>143603931
You trying to tell me you don't want to see clipping in your Berserk?
>>143603879
Relative to the quality of source material perhaps.

You know I think the show would be a lot better if it started when Guts is on the boat and they don't do anything at all while on the boat. They just sit there, FOR YEARS.

hai yo is ok
>>143603879
It's still better than Brynhildr and Mekaku City Actors.

Shit talking the animation by posting something that's in almost every anime ever, stop nitpicking CG so much you gay babies.
>>143603907
Man, I'm glad Gattsu finally got his own anime. Too many Beruserkeru animes don't include Gattz Guriffisu and Kyasuka
>>143604004
DUDE

MY LOVE TO YOU IS LIKE A BOAT

But what is the point of CG if you're still going to animate it like 2D?
Bunny looks like it doesn't have any fucks to give.
>>143604106
Even from like the five seconds that was in the next episode preview, I could tell it was great. One of only two good things from the show.
>>143601058
look at the top of his head
>>143604069
>>143604212
Because people will still shit on it for having "forced animation"
And Japan thinks that mimicking 2D with their CG stops people who are used to CG from hating it, but it's obviously not working.
