>Tell me why, tell me why ....

Are we ever going to get an anime this good ever again?

most anime people would rather argue over best girl and watch low-stakes entertainment; berserk and stuff like it is seen as too heavy for the overworked masses and anti-social otakus

>>283220159
Overworking people definitely leads to shittier entertainment.
People are only ever in the mood for a limited amount of shit after their stamina runs out.

>>283220159
lmao, you're this mad over an edgy shock value first Seinen with le rape where Guts has sex with a demon

>>283220159
>most anime people would rather argue over best girl

Is this a jab at Evangelion fandon?

>>283220051 (OP)
If it had adapted the whole arc with no censors it would be the best anime of all time

>>283220331
yeah, i'm mad. wanna have sex?

>>283220051 (OP)
Greed Griffith sold his army for power... Ah who knows, also greed why bother with something of quality when anything labeled as berserk is going to give profit?

>>283220687
I agree, they shouldn't have cut out Skull knight

Amerifat posers that think Berserk's prestige comes from the cheap '90s anime and not the manga deserve to be tortured to death.

>>283220912
Stfu, the 97 version was kino

>>283221225
Keep posing you ignorant Amerifat cunt.

>>283221274
Fuck off retard.

The Berserk QUALITY was epic.

Nope, not getting out of this chair.

>>283220795
The anime was a self contained 2 cour story that encouraged you to read the manga, and at that it succeeded. There was no time to introduce all of the magical elements like Puck if they were never going to be referenced later. Adding skull knight with no follow up would have been dumb.
It ended at the perfect scene. Even now we still don't know skull knight's story, and we'll never know, because Miura had no idea what to do with Berserk after the golden age or how to end it.

no, the new golden age was pretty good in the parts that weren't cg, and some of the cg was integrated well. but a full berserk anime would probably not happen.

Honestly it's a good anime but as an adaptation it's piss poor and as the manga goes on it just gets worse and worse as the rest of the manga continues to heavily reference the fantastical elements of Golden Age.

>>283225333
I'm always a lover of minor characters, so I also don't like how the only glimpse we get of the old lady who sold Griffith the Behelit in the 1997 is through the fraudulent Godhand flashback where Conrad is cosplaying as her chastising Griffith as a child. We saw her be concerned for Rickert in the manga, and I believe she never would've yelled at Griffith like that.

Can someone explain why this landscape is so eerie?

I prefer this adaptation because it kept this moment

>>283220687
Skipping Wyald really helped the pacing and allowed for the eclipse itself to have more of an impact, but reducing all of the Black Swordsman arc to just the one not particularly great episode is a huge shame.

>>283225643
Nah Wyald is essential, anyone who thinks otherwise was filtered. Everything in Berserk is essential from Black Swordsman to the end of Conviction.

>>283220051 (OP)
Berserk was never good

I don't remember, did the anime say he was raped ?
>>283225333
Nice bait

>>283226146
No. I rewatched it a while ago and was expecting for it to be implied somewhere in one of Guts' childhood flashbacks, but it's never even hinted at. They imply instead that Guts' trauma comes from him being a child soldier and killing Gambino, which yeah that's fine, but him slowly developing an intimate relationship with Casca doesn't hold the same significance without that added context.

>>283226300
Yeah, i think it matters to the story.

>Satoshi Kon dead
>Kentaro Miura dead
We will never have Hirasawa composing scores for any anime ever again, won't we?

>>283226300
Somehow without ever reading the manga or interacting with the fandom I gathered just from the anime that Guts had been sexually abused and, like Casca, I assumed it was Gambino that did it

>>283225664
For the adaptation, no it wasn't. Nobody is skipping arcs in the manga.

>>283220051 (OP)
>bu-but anon, it's just a slideshow!
I don't care. Well-drawn slideshows with minimal animation win over dogshit art and clunky animation every time.

>>283226300
I was about to call you a liar because I had a very clear memory of a frame with Guts having a nightmare about Donovan, but you are 100% right. My brain literally just coloured in the fucking manga panel where Donovan is holding Guts down.

>>283228189
You might be remembering the memorial edition which does have that scene in it

>>283228224
Yeah maybe; I was imagining it in the style of the original anime though, which is fucked up.

>>283228008
PREMIUM low budget kino, it mogs the fuck out of the movies
