That's it, I turn my back on Miura and his work. Fuck that old faggot.

I spent a year and a half hyping the Berserk Anime to all my friends that didn't know the Manga. Saying it was one of the best Manga in the world and that they were gonne suck my dick for making them discover it.

Just watched the first episode...
I couldn't even finish it.

> 3D Guts looks like he's on meth
> Them poorly made models
> Them poorly animated models
> Not getting a fresh start so we won't miss anything from the manga this time
> Fucks up even more by introducing characters too early
> That fucking 3D, goddamn ... I still can't believe it
> Even the music is lame as fuck. Where's Hirasawa ???

Worst thing is Guts looks good when he's not in 3D so why the fuck did they have to stick with that shit ?
Well anyway, no matter what happens next. I don't give a fuck. I won't buy any more volume and won't care about the video game either since it's a musou (it's like they do this on purpose).

The truth is just that Berserk is bad. It's not that somehow every adaptation fails the amazing original material. It's just bad. The comic is shrouded in this cloud of nostalgia that makes people unable to see it for what it is. But when it's adapted, and the flaws are just there, glaring at you, it's undeniable.

Second of all, no one on this board actually thought it would be good when the PV came out, right? The terrible CG and music were already plain to see and hear, the only thing the show gave us we didn't expect was CLANG

Stop giving others the fault for YOUR mistake.

If your friends wouldn´t read the manga in the first place, that should´ve been your sign to stop bothering with them
Instead you´re going on their nerves with an adaption that everyone knew would be shiet ever since the movies.

That's not true at all. I read it all over again once in a while and everytime, it's a good read.

>>143742360
Well the movies had 3D and it's was pretty well done. Especially the second and third one. I know they're movies and the budget is not the same but the difference is too fucking huge.

>>143742481
Like I said, I think that the movies were pretty good. Except for the fact that they skipped too much important events. But the fights, the musics and the art even with some 3D there and there were all excellent.
Also, I didn't watch the trailers so I had no idea it was doomed from the start. I just wish one of my favourite Manga was gonna get the adaptation it deserved.

If you go from the point of view of someoene that is discovering Berserk trough the 2016 anime, this shit is a complete mess. It doesn't make sense and they'll never get why Berserk is considered as one of the best Manga ever.

I know these people are a minority but any professional studio should have taken that in consideration.

I mean, I know Berserk is overly-dramatic in some ways and over-the-top angsty in some ways and #edgy in some ways, and I totally get all that criticism. But what makes it great is that it manages to overcome those things. I knew about Berserk for years but always brushed it off as adolescent garbage because its main character is so "tormented" and he has such a stupidly giant sword that looks like a 13 year old deviantart user designed it.

But then I read it. And now I "get it" and I think Miura is a genius. A master artist and storyteller of the highest caliber. So this show makes me sad because it's just going to encourage those criticisms and make Berserk look even more like Saturday morning shonen for adults who don't want to admit they like that shit.

Well the world isn't turning around you, anon. If you're going to adapt a Manga with an important story, you don't just "flashback" 10 volumes worth of story and background. That's fucked up.

>>143744210
sauce on your pic.
>>
>>143744326
Well what's even better is that unlike in other games/manga, its absurdity is a plot point. Guts can't go anywhere without people saying "is that a sword?" or "that can't possibly be a sword." Berserk might be one of the most self-aware series there is, which I think is why Miura takes so fucking long. He's hyper self-aware in a crippling way.

But best of all is Guts, Guts is just so fucking well made as a character, he feels real, thats why this series has a cult following.
He is a kind man, but has gotten fucked over by life so hard at every corner and turn that he slowly is loosing the grip of his very humanity, yet he longs after rest and a place to belong, and a purpose, so he continues forward, against the impossible, and he knows this, yet he continues.

Yes. Gigantomakhia has just a few chapters but it was a good read. The art is good like in Berserk. Has action, fight, humor and loli. With also a open ending.

I don't get people who claim this, Berserk was shounen in the golden age with tits and gore if you want to pull that card. It had a three way love triangle, it constantly upped the stakes each volume which culminated in the capture of Doldrey, and it had a rescue arc (which is a signature of shounen). I mean you can say it was better but pulling the shounen card is retarded.

premier numbers don't really tell you anything. plenty of shows only manage to build hype halfway through their season, and plenty more have lots of viewers for the premier but trickle off by not managing to hold viewers attention.

crunchyroll was probably betting this would pull in a lot of new subscriptions because Berserk has such a large and dedicated fanbase, but I don't think it will. pretty much everyone who invested in this is going to be embarrassed.

True or not, you shouldn't present it as such. You can equate it to any great literature they may have read, or a great show they enjoy, but labeling it as THE BEST is too much.

They have a motive as deep as the motives that the old Band had.
>>
>>143750027
I enjoy the manga too but it's far from perfect and has plenty of flaws. Farnese and Serpico feel like the only members of Gut's group with any real building of their characters.

Ishidoro feels pointless and annoying and feels a lot like he was only added because they were trying to make the manga more "kid friendly"

Puck has turned into a character whose sole purpose is to make pop culture references.

Schierke has no character motivations other than just being told to go with Guts. Nor any dreams. She's received very little "fleshing out" and seems only to exist as a tool for guts to be able to go semi-berserk without totally losing control.

And those three are three of the more fleshed out characters in the group. Sure there is Caska, but she doesn't even really have a character currently. She's just fucked in the head still.
>>
>>143761590
I'm not sure how that is a rebuttal or anything of what the guy is saying. In fact it supports it. Very few characters outside of Guts have extensive characterization. Which isn't necessarily and issue, but Berserk by no means is a manga full of "fleshed out characters"

I always found their circlejerking trivial. Also, the way they barged into manga threads was plain obnoxious. Insecure fanboys put Miura on the pedestal with their endless wanking and now they can burn it all down themselves. The tears are delicious! I'm loving every second of it.

this might be bait, but I agree that no way Berserk even with a truckload of money could match up to the manga's art. Maybe if you made a series of movies or something and had the people working on like Ghost in the shell or akira than it'd do proper justice.

>>143764831
I don't get why people are so allergic to manga, Berserk is the textbook defintion of READ THE MANGA. There's no grey area here, the 1997 anime and movies while all nice (especially the old anime's soundtrack) are merely supplementary and only worth looking into if you're a big berserk fan. That and honestly reading manga (for me at least) is a lot quicker than sitting through anime and you can read at your own pace.

This should prove without a shadow of a doubt that Berserk and its fanbase has always been irrelevant and ignorable.

>Dragonslayer being DA tier

Except for the fact that taller swords have existed and been used and a sword like that makes more sense in inflicting damage on gigantic fantasy monsters. Cutting up giants into slices with a thin katana is even dumber. DA kids tend to over design weapons to a point where said weapon looks more like an autistic decoration. The dragonslayer is made to be as simple and rough as possible. No decorations, inscriptions or ornaments. Almost the opposite of deviantart tier designs.

No matter which one you picked you would be fucked no matter what. However, if you were able to use one of them profficiently, taking in mind that Katanas are fucking useless against armors and most of their users would rather favour naginatas or yaris over katanas, and the Dragonslayer is basically a giant fucking hammer shaped like a sword, well just choose the hammer.
