Sup /a/, just watched episode 2.
And i really started to think when Farnese started talking about the Band of the Hawk (which she didnt in the Manga if i remember correct), why people dont recognize Guts?
The Band of the Hawk were basically Popstars, and Guts was the second in Command, so how is it possible that barely anyone recognizes him? The only instance i remember is in the Ballroom, when the Muslims attacked. There was some Nobleman who recognized him at least.
Can someone explain?
>>143879137
Because Griffith was the hot-shit leader that mingled with royalty while Casca was the general-chick. Guts was some officer that was absurdly good at fighting, but he didn't really have any distinguishing features. All his crazy-looking trademark shit like the Dragonslayer, robo-arm, and berserker armor happened post-eclipse.
>>143879290
He had an exceptionally big Sword pre Eclipse already, and amongst Soldiers he was the Hot Thing actually, not Griffith.
So i dont understand why Miura wanted to make him some nameless Ghost post Eclipse. I mean the Timeframe between the Eclipse and the current Arc is only a few years.
>>143879506
>amongst Soldiers
Not many of those left post-eclipse senpai. Hard to remember "that mercenary dude with a pretty big sword" 3-4 years after literal monsters started walking around.
>>143879137
There's no form of photography or anything in Berserk, so the only ones who could recognize him are those who met him in the past. Most people who knew him before the Eclipse are dead, and the ones who aren't were mostly noblemen and random citizens who might have seen him during victory parades and such.
>>143879137
Photographs don't exist in Medieval times, all you get is hearsay, even if someone heard of Guts it would be difficult to recognize him, Guts does have a reputation among warriors as the hundred man slayer, Silat, Isidro, and midland guards know about this legend. The Midland noble guy only recognizes Guts because he's seen him before on the battlefield, and even to him he was just one of Griffiths soldiers.
I liked this episode a lot more than the last one. I guess I got used to the CG, and they used Hirasawa's music. Minimal djent guitars. Hopefully they keep this up.
>>143879710
They had caricatures and drawings.
Regardless, Guts is easily discernable becasue of his height and the fact that he carries a huge sword. You're defending bad writing. It's okay, Berserk isn't supposed to be perfect.
>>143879694
People would have heard of a tall man carrying a very big sword. Rumors fly by fast.
>>143879137
Because there is no internet in the Berserk universe. Yes, people know about Guts, but they won't recognize him because they've never seen him before.
>>143879137
Most people don't recognize him because they aren't even from the same country. It doesn't even make sense that Farnese recognizes him.
>>143879773
aside from the 10fps with the gci, it wasn't that bad. Gut's model is still way off and the pacing seems really fucking rushed, but it wasn't a complete disaster like the first episode
next episode will be important since we'll see how they handle the darkness and demons and what not. I have a bad feeling they'll fuck up the tone completely, but we'll see
>>143879844
Again Guts isn't famous because of his appearance or sword, his call to fame is that he killed 100 men. I don't know how numerous or practical greatswords were in medieval times, but Guts old sword isn't as unique as his giant anime sword, especially in a world where huge weapons like horse slayers exist anyway.
>>143879844
More the sword than the height, though. Remember, there are guys who are bigger than Guts, but they still use fairly proportional weapons. I do agree that at least other mercenaries and soldier-types should probably have at least a guess of who he is.
>>143879290
Guts got his fame as the "100-slayer", but it went pretty much as a legend among soldiers.
>>143879844
>would have heard of a tall man carrying a very big sword
We saw like 4 "tall men with big swords" pre eclipse. People know of his legend but nobody really knows what he looks like. Midland solders heard the story of "the 100 man slayer" but they don't really know its him specifically, just some tall dude with a big sword.
He only gets famous once he starts really fucking shit up but thats because he has one arm, no eye, wears all black, swings a sword the size most knights, and cleaves demons in half.
>>143880070
Is Vritanis in Midland? I'm not sure.
There were soldiers from many different countries there because the Pontiff tried to form some kind of Holy League against the Kushans.
>>143880070
>Midland
Midland is in worse state than Velen from Witcher. The whole place is basically razed at this point.
>>143880192
desu Midland doesn't exist anymore
>>143879137
streaming or torrent?
I don't remember, how much does his party know about his past?
>>143880929
Only Casca knew I think
What the fuck?
A few people HAVE recognized him, like when he went to that party of nobles to get farnese
But typically guts is going through hodunk backwood towns, wilderness or is fighting demons who do know him, he isn't constantly around the peerage and those that WOULD know him
>>143881496
His party knows about 'the Raider Commander' and the band of the hawk, but they don't know that guts is said commander, just that he used to be a mercenary. Guts purposefully doesn't talk about it,
>>143879137
Name more than one member of the Backstreet Boys.
>>143879844
NEXT WEEK RAPE HORSE
Just like everyone else has said, griffith was the poster boy of the band of the hawk. I like how Guts isn't well known. It makes him more mysterious to other characters. I love the moments when people watch him cutting 10 people in half with one blow thinking "so this is the black swordsman..... sugoi"
Guts is so badass in the new anime besides the mediocre animation I'm really enjoying it. I hope Farnese crawls all over his dick.

yes they were. that one looks worse than the manga like what the fuck?

Haven't even bothered watching, any good QUALITY moments to laugh at this episode or should I just not bother?
Am I a bit too extreme for believing that Berserk deserves better?
>>143887066
Me on the right
Do you think that we'll have nipples in the BD?
You know, I really thought Berserk was popular in Japan. But it can't be, because if it was they would've hired a decent fucking studio and done it right.
>one of the soldier actually says "H-HAYAI" during the fight with guts
Is that the japanese equivalent for the wilhelm scream?
>>143887143
I'm 100% sure they will add nipples as separate object to the model which will result in some retarded outlines.
In other words, the nipples look JUSTed like everything else.

>>143887368
It's probably not a problem for Japan, but since it's also released in the US then I guess that they need to censor it.
>>143887368
Nipples are too sacred to be rendered in their shitty engine

God I fucking love Farnese, best girl.
>>143887091
I don't get how it didn't get better.
Maybe I'm out of the loop, but it seems to be a pretty huge series and have a rather large fanbase.
I don't get how it gets shit on like this.

I hope the shitty anime at least inspires a bunch of high quality Farnese R34.

Humans don't see the supernatural at this point, like Guts
In the comic this meant that the lolis just looked like dead girls, and in this scenario it means Farnese stumbled upon a bunch of ancient skellingtons and assumed Guts had just killed then
And a fucking tree too I guess?
Why are they blowing the budget on random closeups of peoples' faces and letting the physics engine handle all the fight scenes?
>>143887843
>700 episodes with higher quality than this
mmmmmm no. A good 200 of those are QUALITY worse than this honestly.
>>143887868
>>143887617
that scene changed. in the manga they bring up the mountain of dead children that guts killed and guts is like "w-well.."
>>143887091
That's the pig apostle right?
>>143880929
Puck pretty much knows everything, Schierke has seen the eclipse in his mind, but doesn't really know any details. Caska is retarded, so obviously she's oblivious to everything. Azan, Serpico and Farnese know that he's the "black swordsman", but I don't think they made any connecion between him and the band. Isidro Ivalera, Roderic and Manifico know shit. Did I miss anything?
>>143887091
Yes. We already have the manga. Ya can't get all good ma boy
>>143886442
Should've put more [CLANG]
>>143888075
>Azan, Serpico and Farnese know that he's the "black swordsman", but I don't think they made any connecion between him and the band
So animu Farnese knows more already than manga Farnese post-boat?
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING way to make it worse:anime original scenes/ending
>>143888136
>anime original scenes
Literally next episode
Literally the previous episode
>>143882508
Wasn't in the manga. But in retrospect, things really have become shit since Griffith has started his rule.
Except obviously back in the black swordsman arc he wasn't ever reincarnated yet, so this doesn't really make much sense. But the '97 anime was pretty much stand alone, and never meant to continue, so it works well within it.
>>143888178
You've gotta be kidding me.
Wait
So there's no RAPE HORSE?!?!
>>143888211
No Rape Horse confirmed
Instead we get Miura's Magical Mole Mansion
I know we complained but the movies are masterpieces compared to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAz3Qd21bb4
I'm still trying to look at the bright side.
The way Guts eat the meme rabbit made me hungry.
>>143887843
JoJo has always been solid, DavidPro knows what they're doing. I would seriously do just about anything to get DavidPro to do Berserk, it'd be fucking glorious and everything Berserk deserves.
>>143884305
>>143886699
Nope, next week's Miura's own story apparently. Judging by the preview, it's gonna have the possessed dogs + the pig apostle.
[CLANGing intensifies]
>>143888260
What's there complain in these movies? Explain please.
>>143888295
A lot better than the first episode, but still a shitty adaption.
>>143887143
Who cares, it's not like this awful CG blob is any attractive. I'll stick to the qt manga Farnese, thanks.
>>143879137
After the civil war in Midland Guts disappeared, the band of the Hawk collapsed, Guts got injured during the eclipse, and Guts got more injured fighting Apostles. So he looks pretty different than when they would have seen him.
>>143887248
It was just Forces foreshadow, he knew that's the only thing that could make this episode any bearable.
what the fuck is going on with Guts' arm in this episode? seems like they did a shit job rigging these models, which would also help to explain the wonky movements (and lack thereof).
>>143887248
It was written during the nineties, HAYAI wasn't stale yet
better listen to Forces to numb the pain
>>143888490
I don't even know why scenes where people standing around needs to be 3D.
3D should only be used to make action scenes easier to animate.
>>143879137
so when did guts get the behelit?
>>143888131
Not necesarily. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the episode Farnese just brought up the band of the hawk, without even implying she knew he was part of them.
Anyway, just checked the interrogation scene from the manga, and there was no mention of the band.
>>143879137
>Sup /a/
>>>/v/
>>143888301
Even worse CGI that this series in the battle scenes, and plenty of cut out material.
I found them somewhat enjoyable, but they would be terrible, and would likely make no sense if I didn't already know the story.
>>143888732
>Even worse CGI that this series
HOLY SHIT SHOW ME PROOF
>>143888668
I can only assume ep 3 will be part flashback where Mole Apostle has the Count's behelit
>>143888668
From the count.
As for the anime, we'll likely never know.
Maybe we'd get a flashback if the behelit was important in this arc.
seriously what the fuck did they use to record gut's sword sound? it sounds like someone is kicking a metal bin
>>143888668
S P E E DD R E A D
>>143879137
It's a fucking magical fantasy set in the dark ages, they didn't have internet, tv, movies and other media flashing across the globe like we do making famous people instantly recognizable to everyone. All they likely know about him is he was a badass motherfucker and probably that he used a big sword, that's about it. And even if they did, what the hell would that change? Would people start saying "Woah check it out, it's that hardcore motherfucker that did all that stuff in that big war with that Band of Hawks, lets give him special treatment". It's not a shitty battle shounen, you don't get your dick sucked by everyone on the planet just because you're really good at fighting. Guts gets the respect he deserves from the people that actually get to know him, hell almost every single member of the Band which numbered in the hundreds looked up to him as a strong and unshakable big brother figure. That kind of dynamic is precisely what makes Guts as a character and his relationship with other people so substantial, it's not just some shallow one dimensional interaction, the characters actually learn about eachother and their relationships grow and change accordingly. Also why I consider Guts and Casca to be one of the best executed examples of a romance between two characters in manga to date, they've gone through so much together and truly fell in love. Even after everything that's happened he still lives purely for her sake, only time will tell if he ever gets her back though.

>>143889141
Ep 1 was trash but this was a whole lot better. Pacing seems kind of slow though, conviction in 25 eps actually allows for some filler so they're taking it slow I guess.

Holy shit, they are actually using most of their budget for 2d animation on fucking flashbacks.
2D needs to go entirely. It looks bad because there is discrepancy between low fps 3D and higher fps 3D. Also getting rid of expensive 2D means mkre budget for 3D. The technique is good but execution is still poor. With time this will be an amazing technique and make drawing obsolete.
>>143889558

I always assumed post-Eclipse their world got flooded by demons and everyone was too busy trying to survive to give a shit about name/status.
>>143889908
Nothing changed. Demons invading happened after the fusion of layers which happens WAY later.
Did anyone else feel like episode 2 was a significant improvement? I liked it a lot. There are still a few QUALITY moments, but I feel like with the introduction of a more colorful palette in the Iron Chain Knights I've grown to appreciate the art style more.
It helps that the show is now firmly into Conviction material instead of just trying to condense the Black Swordsman arc into 20 minutes.
>>143889412
>This episode was pretty accurate though.
No it wasn't you retard.
>>143890123
What wasn't accurate then? Even most of the dialogues were straight from the manga.
>>143889976
Apostles began appearing in greater numbers before and after the Eclipse. It's what originally caused the mobilization of the Holy Iron Chain Knights before they were ordered to track down the Black Swordsman. Magic and the Supernatural were returning to the world even before Femto merged the realms.
>>143890064
That's because episode 2 actually followed canon through the most part.
Episode 1 tried to merge 2 arcs together in the worst way possible.
>>143890123
Yes it was. Any change is a direct result from the cut of retribution, but the circumstances themselves were accurate mostly.
>>143890064
It was a step in the right direction.
>>143890182
Nitpicking but it was skull knight that did that, Femto just baited it. And yeah guess you're right, they even explicitly show snake baron and all the troll stuff is before the fusion too.
So why can't cult girl see elves? Is that important?
i'll just continue to ignore this anime and wait for BDs
and then i'll weep
More like Bers-wreck. But it'd the third most popular anime on CR (after Naruto and Bleach) so I guess they got their money's worth.
>>143890317
Firm believers deny the existence of the supernatural in their hearts. It's what drove the good spirits out of this world.
>>143890317
It's because all the magic and demons and shit is just Guts imagining things and going crazy.
Those skeletons were real people Guts deluded himself into thinking were skeletons. That's why the soldiers said they found countless bodies.
I don't know why, but it feels odd Mirua refers this as a fantasy manga. Fantasy series usually focus on worldbuilding while Berserk is centered around vengeance and salvation.
>>143890351
I meant Naruto and One Piece.
why bother making an unfaithful adaptation of one of most revered manga ever? though nowadays i guess you can pull numbers on hearsay only...
>>143890161
>>143890281
>Even most of the dialogues were straight from the manga.
You need to read the manga.
There should have been zero flashbacks, mention of the lost children arc, the scene with puck getting guts to call him puck-sama, no mention of the band of the hawk, and the scene with puck talking about becchi.
And the next episode is a near complete rewrite of what happens in the manga. This adaption is a disaster.
Not to mention the art, music, sound, and animation is still completeshit.
>>143887143
makes me wonder what they'll do with the horsecock next episode
>>143890317
Only people that believe in super natural beings can see elves. (i.e small children and Guts) I'm pretty sure that it was explained in the Lost Children arc that was cut from the anime,
>>143890317
It's very important. She, and many others that just don't believe in elfes can't see them because they are set in their own ways. Their conscousness refuses to acknowledge the existance of such supernatural beings.
It's important, because it's kind of simmilar to how the Idea of Evil came to be, just through pure faith and hopes of people.
>>143887617
im pretty sure she was referring to the party that was trying to anbush guts but got 2spooky5me'd
>tfw the game literally has better models than this shit
how the fuck does this happen.
Why don't they just shoot him with a crossbow?
>>143890064
Yeah, Serpico and Azan look okay. The knights look good. There were more hand-painted backgrounds in this episode, which helped. Actually, all of the characters look fine except for their faces. All of the facial expressions look so wonky and stilted, and the cel shading falls across their facial features in the weirdest ways. The only character that ends up looking good is Serpico, and that's because he just doesn't emote with his face very much, not even in the manga.
>>143890430
I read it annually. The adaptation is good for what it is.
The entire problem is axing retribution and we'll have some rewrites until we get to a point where that's solved. Best case scenario would have been it starting with skull knight breaking through the black sun. Retribution is my favorite arc too so I should be mad but at least this isn't golden age anymore. We'll never get the 1:1 animation.
>>143890064
maybe you're just getting used to it
>>143890597
It wasn't good in any way. It's changing the story for the worst, in the worst way. And it looks and sounds like shit.
>>143890659
I felt this way during ep 1. Then I became zen. Drop the hate, it'll kill you.
>>143890743
Stop projecting, you sad piece of shit. Episode 2 was just as shit as the first.
>>143890743
>Peace and love everybody
Has Berserk taught you nothing?
>>143890430
>if they cut or change anything at all no matter how minor it's a complete disaster
You don't think that's a tad overreacting? No adaptation is ever literally 'the book' verbatim.
This episode's story was pretty faithful overall. Yes there was some stuff cut and some other scenes added, but nothing I could reasonably see calling a disaster.
As for the next episode, whatever it is is supposedly written by Miura, not the show writers just doing whatever they want.
>>143890787
L O V E
>>143890804
Actually this is what it teaches. Tone heavily changed. Miura got out of his edgy phase, I don't think we'll ever see another rape horse event for example.
>>143890430
I gave you a benefit of doubt, but it seems you're retarded after all.
The flashbacks were just that, flashback, they were just meant to give some backstory to the viewers, and had no impact on the story and action of this episode.
>mention of the lost children
Well, gee, I wonder why there were none. It's almost as if they cut it from this anime!
>scene with puck
They literally cut like 3 lines of dialogue, which is why I said MOST of the dialogues were straight from the manga.
>no mention of the band
Again, just to go with the previous flashbacks, and again it was just about 3 lines.
>puck and becchi
Literally two lines, which in the manga fit on less than a 5th of the page.
Your complaints are simply retarded. Nobody ever expects any adaptation to be 100% faithful, and this episode was more accurate than most adaptations get.
As for other things, yeah, the CGI still sucks, the music still mostly sucks, and so do the sound effects, that's not what I was saying. I know the anime is shit, but at least that episode followed manga properly.
>>143890841
From what I've heard it's supposedly "scenario by Miura" which doesn't mean he actually wrote all of it.
>>143890430
>>143890659
You're the same kind of autistic faggot who bitches about every single minute change in Game of Thrones because it's "NOT MUH BOOKS!".
The art style is a valid complaint, though I've grown to enjoy it (or have become complacent with it) from this newest episode. You gotta understand, Berserk adaptations will ALWAYS be low budget. Let's not pretend the 97 anime didn't look like shit, it was entirely carried by the characterization and soundtrack.
>She isn't trying to see me
>She cannot see me
>She isn't able to see elves
what did he mean by this? I haven't read the manga so I don't know the backstory but what does it imply?

>>143888732
>even worse CGI
anon, you need to re-watch the movies. the first one has that opening scene, but other than that, the CG isn't distracting.
they also skip over guts' pre-merc days + gloss over his bonding with band of the hawk, but those are the only bits of note they snip out. everything else is intact, and prettier by a large margin than the '97 anime.

Wait what?
I guess that makes a lot of sense when you think about it. He literally went mad after he found out what happened to grif, and that is why everyone and their mother is hunting him down and why no one seems to be aware of the deamons except as fantasy stories from long ago that maby never were real.
>>143891070
Because that's from volume 1 which was written way before. It's inconsistent. It happens more often.
>>143891136
Is this some stupid theory that's actually being validated by fans?
>>143890935
Think about it this way: she's basically a Catholic. In the world of Berserk, everyone used to be pagan and worshiped nature, and was in tune with nature and the astral plane. The Holy See Religious Order took hold throughout the land and, just like the real Catholic church, rooted itself on pagan sites of worship, displacing paganism as the dominant religion. As a result, a lot of people people lost their attenuation to the astral plane (where the elves live) and basically forgot how to access it. The Holy See religion displaced that part of their mind/spirit as well. Thus, especially religious people find it difficult to "see" things in the astral plane.
>>143891070
Because they believe in tormenting elves. After all elves are clearly for____
>>143891136
Anon that guy is either trolling or just making shit up because he doesn't know.
Puck says in the manga that people who are set in their ways or beliefs or whatever can't see elves and shit. He also said people rarely see elves in cities or other places with large crowds.
>>143890391
This is true. Guts is struggling with PTSD like Rambo.
>>143888604
It was explained in a previous thread but basically this.
>Berserk has big budget for movie series.
>Production time during Golden Age was to allow Berserk to be finished.
>Berserk was not finished.
>Future movie releases scrapped.
There are hints there may be a Black Swordsman movie to fill in the gap between the previous movie and the tv series, but its slim.
>Everybody catches hell thanks to lazy manga artist who wants to play video games.
>TV series announced, has big budget.
>Manga still not done.
>Budget gets cut due to drop in popularity.
>Previews you saw are the finished product to be released on BD later.
>>143879137
>The Band of the Hawk were basically Popstars
Television didn't exist in medieval times. Love /a/
>>143891215
>Puck says
If he's imagining Puck then what Puck says can't really be taken as fact can it?
>>143891246
what? that sounds like rumors from 10 years ago
no one actually expects miura to finish berserk nowadays
>>143891210waifus
>>143891285
Yes. Just like how he imagined being handed keys to his prison cell and imagined escaping with a half nude puritan girl.
>>143879137
Because it's the motherfucking Dark Ages and there's no TV, cameras or anything?
How dumb can you be?
>>143891246
>Previews you saw are the finished product to be released on BD later.
Has it ever actually been the case that the BD release was so much different from the televised airing?
Reminder that we atleast got this song out of this whole thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZuJWi1FQKM
>>143891246
Is this actually how it works? Why wouldn't he just do it? Is he some JJMartin tier shit?0.23
>>143890557
The game models actually have textures on them, because they're supposed to look like decent 3D models.
Unlike the anime, where they're 3D models that are supposed to ape 2D animation and hide the fact that they're 3D, so they end up looking like half-assed cel shading with incongruous black outlines and cheap crosshatching.
>>143891177
he's just been berserk this whole time
>>143891328
>Rumors 10 years ago.
The first 3 movies has an opening title crawl with would be animation all the way up to the black armor Guts gets later, and before hand there was animation captures from private screenings featuring Guts as the Black Swordsman, Casca after the Eclipse, and the rest of the gang prior to the armor.
But thanks to Berserk not ending on its time period it was set, the movies awful sales report, and complications arising from fans about cut content the movies went from a solid 9 movies to 3 only.
Remember, the end of the 3rd does state "This is only the beginning"
Heads rolled thanks to Warner Bro's funding the project.
>>143891459
wait what, i'm not familiar with anime CG tricks
>>143891363
He could of broken out, stolen the key himself, or perhaps the guard just drooped it. They are after all the rejects and noble class that are full retard battle wise.
>>143891470
The answer was in front of us the whole time.
>>143891285
Would you stop. Plenty of other people throughout the manga interact with Puck, and the manga is not told in the first person with Guts as your unreliable narrator.
Don't try to start stupid berserk memes because dumb people actually believe them and then we end up with people unironically spouting griffith did nothing wrong and it's a waste of time.
>>143891425
I kinda like it desu senpai.
>>143879137
>Guts
I thought his name was Gatz.
I want to get into Berserk beyond the "golden age". When in the maga does the stuff post-eclipse begin?
>>143891578
no, his name is gatsu
>>143891594
The fucks a maga?
>>143891495
>the movies went from a solid 9 movies to 3 only.
Seriously thank god. At least with a series there's a chance of them not butchering the conviction arc.
>>143891070
They already believed in elves before they captured one?
Remember one of them also knew about the witch tree being used for unholy sacrifices, and he was right when it ate all of them.
>>143891554
never mind then, please continue being productive or something
>>143889141
I look forward to the next episode, we actually have some new shit.
>>143891624
Christ... My keyboard is just not working well tonight...
>>143886442
[CLANG INTENSIFIES]
>>143891594
You need to start from chapter 1 and read all of it.
>>143891624
make america great again
>>143891594
the first chapters up until the golden age arc takes place after the eclipse, and then chapter 90something onwards continues it.
>>143891454
Lets put it this way.
His handlers claimed he was busy playing Idol Master for a solid fucking year, and that every time a Idol Master game came out on the 360, which he bought just for that game, he would spend months on end playing it instead of working on the manga.
So the meme became reality, of him adoring Idol Master, and the boat shit.
Last year only 13 pages released "or it was the year before" this year alone we barely have anything.
They are finally releasing a new book "book 38" and its sparse as fuck with pointless backstory to Guts's past as a merc.
There was even talks of them wanting him to just wrap it up already because its taken far to long and threats of pulling him from producing at all due to his lack luster track record of dead lines.
>See you soon.
>10 years later, 1 new chapter.
I know that the whole sea arc was made between then, but that is filler to the big thing we all wanted, closure.
>>143891624
dono, has to do with detegents
>>143889894
Berserk consistently creates the best reaction images.
>>143887843
it's fucking embarrasing seeing how much of a fucking mess berserk last week and today only too later have the hypest episode of jojo yet
>>143891687
But I want to skip all that Band of the Hawk stuff because I've seen it animated enough.
>>143887941
all those people just randomly standing around... berserk deserves so much better
>>143891625
>The 3rd movie finally started to correct the faults of the other 2 and getting their footing for a good combination of 3D and 2D.
>It gets scrapped for straight up SCIFI channel tier 3D garbage.
>This is a good thing.
>>143891126
I'm not saying that they're bad, as I mentioned, I found them somewhat enjoyable. There were scenes that looked genuinly good, like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RjnvvCvNy0 but there were plenty of battles, where the soldiers were just awful to look at. Just mechanically moving cans.
And they've skipped plenty of stuff:
as you mentioned most of the bonding scenes (in fact, I'd be surprised if you only watched the movies and ever remembered the names of the commanders), they cut Godo completely (and thus the sparks talk, which is one of my favourite scenes),
they cut bonfire of dreams, also a great scene, they cut Griffith's plan to kill the queen, and thus Guts' assistance in it
they cut count and Roshinu attacking the band pre-eclipse,
they cut Zodd's assistance to Guts against Boscogne
they cut all Guts' doing after he left the band
they cut Judeau and Corkus talk before Guts left
they cut the Bakiraka and Wyald, of which the '97 series in also guilty,
That's just from the top of my head, but as I said earlier, I doubt the movies could be enjoyable unless you already know the story.
manga>'97>movies>'16
>>143890895
>and had no impact on the story
It did though, up until the rape horse Guts hadn't had Casca on his mind for who knows how long. They completely retconned the rape horse and Guts' reaction, therefore retconning Puck's glimpse into his soul and Farnese's perception of a man who gets really mad.
I'm not even reading the rest of your bullshit post.
>>143891594
Volume 1 to 3, then around 12 or 13, I forget. Your better off reading the golden age though, both adaptations rush the shit out of it and cut a load of stuff.
>>143891756
It's a good thing if you'd like a chance of the story and characters actually being portrayed accurately. If all you care about is what it looks like, then i guess not as much.
>>143891692
Thank you. I'll get to buying then.
>>143887852
>>shit music
The music isn't shit.
But the sound design and level are.
And the directing in general are too.
I swear for like the first 10 minutes of the episode there wasn't a single moment of silence, and that's a signature of both bad directing and bad sound design.
>>143891703
sounds like he did what the majority of his readers would have given similar opportunity.
>>143891425
Did they actually put "Oh Tonio, he was a good man" in the preview, or is this vidoe memed?
>>143891748
both adaptations cut significant amounts of content. You need to start from the beginning anyway because the manga begins in media res with a three volume prologue chapter
>>143891540
Literally in the fucking tital, we amnightsamamalon now? This explains a lot including why the author cannot find a good ending that he things hard core fans will accept.
>>143891765
>they cut the Bakiraka
no.
She saw him multiple years ago at a party, once.
>>143891578
HIS NAME IS GOTZ
AND HE CUTS THINGS WITH HIS BIG SORD
>>143891884
>The music isn't shit.
Yes it is.
>>143891922
That isn't canon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZuJWi1FQKM
I don't understand...
>>143891966
So even less reason for her to recognize him.
>>143891624
Fuck off Hillfag
>>143891916
Well I don't remember seeing that in the movies, do you?
>>143882508
It's the series doing it's own thing. Same reason why Skull Knight, Silat, and Puck aren't in it, why there's so much Corbowitz, and probably a few other things I'm forgetting.
>>143892052
If she's on a mission to hunt down the black swordsman, then she has a pretty good idea of who she's hunting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUMLwN5z0mI
>>143891888
that's the joke
life's simply unfair
>>143892101
But nobody knows that the blackswordsman is the same person that was n Griffith's army. It's been multiple years, and everyone else except Casca, Griffith and Guts are dead.
>>143879137
>No rape horse confirmed
I fucking knew it and I still had hope. Fuck it. Into the trash it goes this piece of shit.
>>143891703
I mean think about it, you creat some great story, your master imagined greatness, but the big wigs want you to keep pressing on, keep releasing, keep making money, do you end it or milk it for all it is worth?
Is it even a question?
>>143891966
>Yes it is.
No it's not.
Blood and Guts as well as Hai Yo are fucking sweet, and the rest of the soundtrack plays well during supporting scenes.
Get some taste, faggot.
>>143891922
That's only canon in the movies. Serpico and Farnese weren't at the post-Doldrey party in the manga.
>>143892221
Midland nobility are probably the only ones that could possibly recognize him. And other than Owen (was that his name?), he hasn't met any.
Makes me wonder what would happen if Guts met Charlotte
