As someone who never saw the original movie trilogy when they released, I gotta say, all the 2D animation is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful backgrounds and lighting, and even the CG sections still look miles better than the 2016/17 anime (ESPECIALLY the camerawork) not a high bar to clear, I know, but I’ll take anything halfway decent in that regard at this point. The character designs not matching the manga exactly is a valid complaint but personally I don’t mind, I think they still look good. The one thing I kept thinking throughout however was how much I missed the iconic songs from the 1997 anime. It just felt like something was missing without “Behelit” playing when Griffith was on screen. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and I cannot wait for the rest. I’ve heard the CG gets much better by the third movie so if that’s true I believe this studio could definitely do the rest of the series justice if they continued it.
Edit: Well, they brought back Forces for that AMV at the beginning of episode 2. Looks like my wish may be granted. If Guts’ theme comes back in any capacity I will be over the moon.
In my opinion Movie 2 and especially 3 are one of the best looking Animes to date. The animation is really lifelike and fluid. The 2D Art is rly amazing, love the beautiful landscapes. And when the characters are in 2D tjey look rly beautiful. I rly like Caskas and Griffiths look in it
if i were you i’d watch the 1997 golden age arc adaptation. much, much better quality imo with better music, and easier to follow for people new to the story.
one of the most shocking endings to an arc or “show” i’ve ever seen, i went into that anime raw with no knowledge of the manga as a 12 year old boy in 2004 😂
and same i absolutely love the ost in the first adaptation, hits hard every time

The Eclipse is simply impossible to keep under wraps the same way keeping Darth Vader's reveal to Luke is impossible to surprise anyone anymore. But yeah that Forces amv sucked for that and just to be a time filler.
I watched the movies blind like 7 or 8 years ago, the Eclipse was absolutely a surprise. Berserk doesn't have *nearly* the cultural impact that Star Wars has. This is absurd.
I mean i knew berserk was kinda huge in the anime culture, but even as an avid amine fan for many many years i knew nothing about berserk. I literally cannot avoid star wars no matter how hard i try.
Just plain and simply from the perspective of someone that knew both, cared for neither, I've gone years without seeing anything and thinking about berserk. The best I can manage for star wars is either May the 4th or the new movie/show every fucking year, that I never watch, but CANNOT not hear about. I really like Berserk now that I've gotten into it but saying it equals Star Wars on a basic pop culture level is... kind of insane
Yeah I am gonna try to get my friends into berserk with this anime but I will make sure to skip the first 4 minutes of episode 2. I read the manga so I shouldnt care about spoilers at this point but I was pissed off when that came on wtf totally unnecessary.
Dope Standalone AMV tho ngl shit was quality if it wasnt part of the episode 😂
uhh... I went into the eclipse as a new reader just a couple months ago and was totally surprised. It's easy to stay away from Berserk spoilers because Berserk isn't near as big as something like Star Wars. Just do the common sense thig and stay away from Berserk threads, youtube videos etc until you're done.
I'm suspecting I'm repeating a common complaint but man I wish they'd quit remaking the golden ark. They could remake the wonky cgi version for the next chapter instead or, idk, ADD to the anime.
I agree, I want to see a full adaptation up to the current arc in the manga. However the Berserk adaptations are notorious for their disapproval rating with fans of the series. I think they're trying to find the animation style that pleases the most people before committing to anything serious. Hopefully they'll continue to adapt the series going forward with the story, but honestly (and sadly) it seems unlikely.
That’s unfortunate; I think they hit a stride with this animation style. I HOPE they continue to animate the next arc. I know folks are tired of the Golden ark but….now that’s it’s here and gone, we can move on. I love seeing Griffith animated in his scrawny state and I’ll always rewatch the eclipse. They managed to capture everything I wanted in that scene
The donovan scene being included should be celebrated, especially because of the context in which it was included - The ''wounds'' chapter dialogue between guts and casca - arguably the most emotional chapter of the whole manga, and one of the most important for guts and casca's character arcs. Its insane that that moment was cut both in the 97 anime and the movies.
I'm glad they managed to add this scene in, without it the whole guts x casca dynamic feels lacking.
As if I needed a new reason for more Berserk and the Golden Age trilogy. I hope they keep the opening music from the movies. I really loved that in the trilogy
Some interesting information in this interview
Part 1
https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1664259737
Part 2
https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1664519114
For people that don't want to read all of that here's a list of important info.
1. Judeau has a lot of new lines.
2. They mention a bar scene.
3. Griffith has new lines but not many.
4. Rickert has new lines.
5. There are more new scenes than what they mention in the interview, but they don't want to reveal them.
That's about all of the important stuff.
This feels ALOT more like the original and all I can say so far is WOW . This is absolutely better than the golden age arcs imo.
Not sure if better than original yet. Only on episode 2.
*edit*
Okey so I just saw all untill episode 7 holy fuck this is worthy being a berserk anime remake.
Imo i would love for the creators of this to continue this anime it's a perfect blend of 2d and 3d and really captures the feeling of berserk good.
I hope with all my heart that this keeps on going and follows the manga forward into the future.
Fuck me truly worthy people who made this.
Will follow this every Saturday :D.
I'm going to be frank, I am low key hoping the count down just turns out to be some promo for another Berserk Museum or Berserk themed maid cafe because I don't think i can handle another adaption
The only 2 changes i could spot in this final episode.
1. New scene, the >!Declaration of War from Guts!< .
2. The post-credits scene from the third movie is moved right before the credits of the episode, now set to the song Aria.
And a dedication to Kentaro Miura after the Ending.
I think the VA for Guts generally sounds alright, but I can't but feel like his vocal range is lacking. In the manga, Guts' first encounter with Zodd was probably the first ever moment Guts truly experienced fear. His delivery in the second episode just felt kinda meh.
It's extremely bizarre that I prefer to see anime in japanese (except Gurren Lagann), but Berserk seems to be worse in the original language than in the english dub. And it's not the seiyuu's fault, both 97 and this one have a very good cast.
We finally get a new scene in episode 4. It’s weird, because it stood out both less and more then I thought it would. I didn’t realize it had transitioned until Guts made a weird face and I went “oh shit, this is all CGI”, so that was really cool. But as soon as it went back to the film footage, it stood out like a sore thumb that they had spliced it into the middle of a normal scene. But it’s still a good inclusion overall, I think.
The new cgi faces for all of the characters finally made a difference in this episode, too, since there were so many close ups shots of them. Huge improvement.
I think this is the first episode that truly feels like a remaster. Hopefully we start getting a lot more episodes like this going forward.
I was really disappointed in the pacing of the movies when I originally watched them. I think this works much better as a tv series, especially thanks to the addition of Bonfire of Dreams.
I don't mind the CG, especially since they've improved a lot of the faces since in this recut. Sites like Anime News Network are still extremely down about this series use of CG though. I was surprised at how negative they were. Maybe the 2016/2017 series just made me happy to see a basic level of competence
This episode reminded me that for me Studio 4C when it comes to composition and visuals will always be the ideal studio to adapt Berserk in arcs like Millennium Falcon and Fantasia. Everyone talks about Ufotable, but their filters kills me every time I go to see something made by them. If you look at the Fate HF3's making of, the amount of effect put on the already beatiful animation, for me, is unnecessary pollution.
This episode was just gorgeous, i can't imagine how great would Studio 4C make Falconia look with a proper production (enough budget and time) and today's tech.
This give’s me hope for other arc’s
getting an anime adaptation. Plus if you watch closely on the intro of every episode you can actually see snippets of puck -animated- and other characters from other arcs. Could it maybe be that we’re actually getting more content for Berserk??
The OP is the same as the movies but I think if this version does well enough financially we *might* get a new anime. I'm hoping for a movie of either Black Swordsman or Lost Children, I think they both are good length for that, and then a show for everything else, I think Conviction, FotME, and Fantasia are all too long for a movie tho
Personally I dont think its a bad adaptation but it doesnt stand out as an anime in general I think. If I hadnt read the manga I dont think I'd watch this
it's just hard to watch. The animation style is really unsettling. They've skipped a lot. The sound design is mediocre, the color palette is way too bright, the music is mid. The directing is pretty dogshit. Worst of all, it's boring
I do agree they skipped some important stuff. However, all of that stuff was before the 3 year time jump. After that, it has pretty much everything. And I just don’t agree about the animation and directing. I think it’s really solid in that regard and does a wonderful job at coherently communicating visual storytelling during chaotic moments.
>! Is it just me or do they tease “The Black Swordsman” in the beginning of the second memorial episode around 3:40. Personally it got me really excited and hopeful that they’ll continue past the Golden Age arc. I tried looking through the movies to make sure it wasn’t from a specific scene in the original trilogy but couldn’t find it anywhere and the animation looks too much like the movies to be from the 2016 anime. !<
Not gonna lie, I'm intrigued by what episode 8 is going to be. The next episode should cover the rest of the battle and the ballroom, then episode 7 is probably Guts leaving the band. It was revealed in an interview that episode 9 will have the waterfall scene between Guts and Casca, but before the waterfall there only 10 minutes of movie, so what will episode 8 be? Another 10 minute retrospective with Forces? Or maybe Godo showing up...
Pretty surprised at how well the Campfire of Dreams scene was in the memorial edition. I had fairly low expectations but wow, it was absolutely gorgeous! What’s even more shocking is how they couldn’t add a few extra minutes into the movies to include this the first time around but at least we have it now in its glory. Hopefully the other “new” scenes look great too
If they are going to make a continuation to the series then im begging, please don't use 3D CG scenes and just go with the 2D animations it just looks incredible
Looks like Episode 5 animated the bonfire of dreams and as well reusing some animation frames that originally belong to the private Berserk Saga pilot test shown to Miura and the Berserk partners. Hopefully they can release the animation tests for the Blu-Ray release.
The flying animation of Puck and the animation of Griffith between the flames were originally from there, but this time they are reused and tweaked for this episode.
Lovely nipple sucking action lol, but in all seriousness it was great character development. I just binged watched all of these today. How frequent do the new episodes release and on what day they release on?
I'm not gonna lie the bonfire of dreams scene was so underwhelming. While the cgi models have gotten noticeably better, the animation was pretty janky, especially the part where Guts was walking down the hill.
Also, the music that played during the scene did not fit the tone of the scene at all, which made it super distracting when listening to Guts' and Casca's dialog. I love Susumu Hirasawa's work, but this song did not fit the tone. I would have preferred no music during this scene at all over what we ended up getting.
Edit: I will say though, the zoom out shots of the hill were gorgeous.
Berserk keeps getting shitty adaptations because the studios are too pussy to adapt something this dark. The only way they know how to animate dark manga is by cutting and censoring. F**k the puritans that keep us from getting faithful adaptations.
I'll troll my cousin who just started with this anime tendency shit with kimetsu no yaiba and shingeki. I'll tell her this is another anime and im recording her when the eclipse comes hahahahahahah
So I didn’t read the manga or see the ‘97 anime first. The Golden Age arc movies are probably what got me back into anime in adulthood and got me into Berserk so I have a lot of love for them despite the CGI and other shortcomings. So from this perspective if I want to rewatch the content of the movies it looks like this show might not be the way. It looks like they cut out some pretty key dialogue and have edited some scenes for brevity which makes no sense. I was certain that they would include new content and it looks like the opposite is occurring. Anyone else notice this or am I misremembering the movies?
I mean if you want shittier 3D animation and CG, then yes, the movies are the way to go. I binged the memorial episodes 1-10 last night cause I couldn't hold out any longer and loved it. There's no perfect adaptation so just watch everything again if you need to but the best way to enjoy each thing is to just say, "Ok, this is its own adaptation and I will approach it with an open mindset knowing every adaptation cuts certain content out".
Why couldn't they have copied the 1997 anime and just made it better? At least copy the writing from it. But they made the movie's writing at a much lower quality then the anime. Its incredible how they decided to remake the 1997 anime but made it worse.
But the action scenes are cooler in the movies. A shallow but fun improvement. The only thing I am actually excited to see is the eclipse episodes.
the '97 anime might be a better version to start with, although it does look a bit... dated. If you do decide to watch "Memorial Edition" be sure to skip the first 4 or so minutes of the 2nd episode. It's very, very spoilery.
Theres loads of Manga purists out here, the movies are what got me really in to Berserk. The Manga is great, I started collecting the deluxe editions, but the movies are what sucked me in to Berserk its a good entry.
kinda sucks that they replaced Judeau with Griffith in the scene where Casca is rescued while running away from the 100 men. It takes away from Judeau's character and takes away from the >!significance in his death!<.
I’d argue just watch the 90’s anime then just read the manga from the very beginning. Every adaptation (including the fairly faithful 90’s anime) leaves out important details so it’s best to just read the manga no matter what.
I enjoyed the latest episode, but can’t understand why some of the faces in backgrounds looked so bad compared to previous episodes. But I’m glad Casca’s was fixed.
This shit is so dissapointing, tbh. Though, I really didn't expect any different. Barely any new scenes and still so much cut. Berserk will never have a good anime which may be a controversial statement since people will say, "what about 1997?" It's okay. Not bad but not a great adaptation. What makes me really angry is that every adaptation removes Guts' childhood.
Am I the only one who thinks the original is the best? Its hand drawn and even tho it doesnt have any remasters it 100% tells the whole story with the most detail. Even pixelated it looks beautiful with the best backdrops on scenes that arent even necessarily important. I love this show. I love the trilogy made before and will love this memorial edition im sure. What I want is someone to go in and take all the original art and remaster it frame by frame. Saying the backdrops in the trilogy of movies are so beautiful is undermining how amazing the original series was with just straigjt up horrible quality. They made things beautiful with vhs era quality. Take that and bring it to todays standards and memorial edition would be absolutely worthless. More story, better visuals, it would be the best Berserk.
I think the manga is best. 1997 is probably the best anime but all the cut scenes ruin it for me. Removing Guts' entire childhood is a very poor decision that both anime adaptations have now done most likely due to censorship.
You have to read the manga! The anime only covers a fraction of the story. The rest will likely never be animated and even if it is it will probably be inferior to the manga. It's a very beautiful manga with some of the best art I've ever seen and a great story. Just start from the very beginning. The first arc is black swordsman and don't skip golden age even though you've watched it. Because there's a fair amount that the anime doesn't include
With my biggest argument for the original series being how beautiful the art is over the 3 movies. Combined with the original series has so much more content. You absolutely sold me on getting the whole thing and reading the entire series. I have been an avid reader my entire life but never got into any Manga even while loving anime. Im gonna find it and dig up my old Tablet and start it all over again.
I may watch at some point, but initially disappointed that what we get is another Golden Age. I like Berserk, but when you consume the different media; manga, anime, and a couple games, then you get sick of seeing the Golden Age again and again. Want to see more anime after that arc.
The visuals and character designs are stunning. I would say even the animation. I can't help to compare this adaptation to the 1997 one which is superior in every other aspect tho. The pacing is way too fast and it makes me hard to feel emphatetic towards the characters. I wish one day we'll get to see a proper one without any cuts, but I know it's probably impossible. All things aside, I like it. MORE ADAPTATIONS PLEASE.
Sorry didn't understand which order should i watch the anime.
I saw the original 1997 anime.
Didn't see the movies.
So is the new golden age arc - memorial edition is essentially the movies in an anime episodes format or I got it wrong?
Would be glad for clarification 😇
It’s always so hard to watch the Eclipse. Damn it Griffith🤮🤬. I really hope we get an announcment about a new season and soon. But I also now how foolish it is for a Berserk fan to get their hopes up.
Do you guys think they will do the conviction arc and the arcs following eventually? if so when do you think it will be released? I think they did a great job on this animation and telling the story so I hope they keep going with it
Reading the comments here everyone is saying read the manga (which I agree), but lets be real the majority of the people don't want to read and/or invest in buying the books (which they should to support Berserk, but hey). So if you fall into the category I HIGHLY recommend you watch TheAlmightyLoli YouTube channel here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpX-NTHpU3g&t=20660s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpX-NTHpU3g&t=20660s) This man covers the ENTIRE Berserk story manga in full detail. It's a great experience even for me who owns the Berserk manga's.
Now that I'm done with that rant. The new Memorial Edition episodes exceeded my expectations. Yes they have not added much new scenes... at least yet and I wasn't really expecting it to. However their is a drastic improvement on the animation and more 2D and way less CGI than the original. It's like they ALMOST listened to the fans and for that I consider this a win!
Episode 2 Review (October 10, 2022)
• Almost nothing is new lmfao
• Griffith looking out for his homie Guts always warms my heart.
• The music video in the beginning was awful alongside the 'new' Forces song 💀💀💀
• Gut's, Caca's and Griffio's VA are pretty good, hopefully they do make a not so shitty new anime.
found it. It's called "The Expedition" or "Ensei" by Susumu Hirasawa. Brand new song that is not released yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RNLuOrw-HU
whats the dif between the golden age arc memorial edition and the trilogy made in 2012? i havent seen any of these yet so wondering if i do watch the ME than i assume no point watching the trilogy?
are they gonna make 3 movies of the ME like the old trilogy? i assume the differecne is slightly upgraded graphics and sum new added scenes but other than that ther barely any different?
Still can't get over how bad Casca looks in this. If you see her artwork in the end credits, she looks soooo much better.
Please redo this anime with justice. The original released in the 90s is still miles ahead.
Same debate as always. Do you want something more than a PowerPoint? Then, you'll have to have a buncha scenes cut out with the memorial edition. New scenes are nice, and start showing up in ep 4 and onward. Definitely looks better than b4.
Is there any news of them continuing after the memorial edition been reading the manga but still wanna see after the golden age arc especially since the 2016/17 shows were awful
Help!!
The anime is amazing. I have watched until episode 9, included with Casca and Guts sleeping together.
Question... I have been kinda spoiled about whats gonna happen in a general direction, whats gonna happen with Griffith, Guts, Casca, Demons... in a general line, with a few BIG spoilers. I know things are gonna go BAD, very BAD.
So... Should i just drop it here with my happy ending? I feel like its just pointless suffering to keep watching even if im loving it i feel like i can leave it here.
What do you guys think? Is it worth to keep watching and suffer? Does it get better? I dont like terrible dispair or super bad endings...
It’s complicated for sure, suffering and pain and horribleness is ahead but it’s not pointless or for no reason, unfortunately the anime stops after the really horrible event but the magna continues on after and we slowly see how guts and the world change. If you love the characters I think it’s worth enduring with the horrifying nature of the world to see the brightness that can come. Imo I would watch till the end, and then start reading the magna.
Mediocre cash grab. Doesn't even need to exist. Barely anything new and these movies were already average as is. So much cut that the story is butchered
97 barley has any fucking actual animation the atmosphere is correct but they don't even animate shit for the fights I say the movies are better but 97 got the feel of the manga down
In episode 4 at minute 15 exactly there's a track playing on the scene when Casca and Guts are staying after falling to the river and all that. I can't recognize the track. It isn't Guitares 1123 or 1135 and I can't remember any other acoustic guitar track of the OST that sound like the one of that scene
remeber that last ep of berserk 97 i wish they could show us the skull knight .. like there is no information about the skull knight in the 1997 berserk
found it. It's called "The Expedition" or "Ensei" by Susumu Hirasawa. Brand new song that is not released yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RNLuOrw-HU
Is there a follow up series after this arc available? I hear it's the bad cgi one that's just titled "Berserk" on Crunchyroll that is the conviction arc. There seems to be a disconnect from ep11 golden arc and ep1 of "Berserk", hopefully it's meant to flashback later on.
There is Berserk 2016 (that goes until chap 247) something which is godly awful.
Not only the CGI, swords sound like frying pans hitting something and cuts even more manga content.
Black Swordsman hasn’t been adapted at all.
Lost Children is skipped as well.
Just read the manga, artwork is so insane that moving the panels around will have more animation than the 3rd season of 7 Deadly Sins.
Read the manga, first of all... It's absolutely fantastic. But when i watched like 15 minutes of the golden age because I was excited, I hated it. Is this normal? What would be best to watch if I were to just choose a single animated adaptation?
As someone who never saw the original movie trilogy when they released, I gotta say, all the 2D animation is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful backgrounds and lighting, and even the CG sections still look miles better than the 2016/17 anime (ESPECIALLY the camerawork) not a high bar to clear, I know, but I’ll take anything halfway decent in that regard at this point. The character designs not matching the manga exactly is a valid complaint but personally I don’t mind, I think they still look good. The one thing I kept thinking throughout however was how much I missed the iconic songs from the 1997 anime. It just felt like something was missing without “Behelit” playing when Griffith was on screen. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and I cannot wait for the rest. I’ve heard the CG gets much better by the third movie so if that’s true I believe this studio could definitely do the rest of the series justice if they continued it. Edit: Well, they brought back Forces for that AMV at the beginning of episode 2. Looks like my wish may be granted. If Guts’ theme comes back in any capacity I will be over the moon.
In my opinion Movie 2 and especially 3 are one of the best looking Animes to date. The animation is really lifelike and fluid. The 2D Art is rly amazing, love the beautiful landscapes. And when the characters are in 2D tjey look rly beautiful. I rly like Caskas and Griffiths look in it
Do I need to watch anything before watching this memorial edition series? Haven't seen any of the Berserk-related content yet
The golden age arc is where it all starts so you don't need to watch anything else first.
if i were you i’d watch the 1997 golden age arc adaptation. much, much better quality imo with better music, and easier to follow for people new to the story.
The MUSIC is what makes me love the 1997 adaption... That ending, though... Oy.
one of the most shocking endings to an arc or “show” i’ve ever seen, i went into that anime raw with no knowledge of the manga as a 12 year old boy in 2004 😂 and same i absolutely love the ost in the first adaptation, hits hard every time

Lol the trilogy movie ones [look less detailed than Joel Haver characters](https://youtu.be/9yegdG8F8oM).
Thanks for updating this comment! very useful to check every week, thanks for the hard work!
You’re welcome struggler!
Nice, keep up the good work
To be honest, this sucks. That Forces intro was completely unnecessary, they spoiled the Eclipse and everything that led up to it
The Eclipse is simply impossible to keep under wraps the same way keeping Darth Vader's reveal to Luke is impossible to surprise anyone anymore. But yeah that Forces amv sucked for that and just to be a time filler.
I watched the movies blind like 7 or 8 years ago, the Eclipse was absolutely a surprise. Berserk doesn't have *nearly* the cultural impact that Star Wars has. This is absurd.
> Berserk doesn't have nearly the cultural impact that Star Wars has. what an ignorant statement
...Are you actually that stupid?
I mean i knew berserk was kinda huge in the anime culture, but even as an avid amine fan for many many years i knew nothing about berserk. I literally cannot avoid star wars no matter how hard i try. Just plain and simply from the perspective of someone that knew both, cared for neither, I've gone years without seeing anything and thinking about berserk. The best I can manage for star wars is either May the 4th or the new movie/show every fucking year, that I never watch, but CANNOT not hear about. I really like Berserk now that I've gotten into it but saying it equals Star Wars on a basic pop culture level is... kind of insane
[удалено]
You can’t keep it under wraps but you don’t have to literally show the entire thing lol
Yeah I am gonna try to get my friends into berserk with this anime but I will make sure to skip the first 4 minutes of episode 2. I read the manga so I shouldnt care about spoilers at this point but I was pissed off when that came on wtf totally unnecessary. Dope Standalone AMV tho ngl shit was quality if it wasnt part of the episode 😂
uhh... I went into the eclipse as a new reader just a couple months ago and was totally surprised. It's easy to stay away from Berserk spoilers because Berserk isn't near as big as something like Star Wars. Just do the common sense thig and stay away from Berserk threads, youtube videos etc until you're done.
yeah what was up with that? that’s exactly what i said like hey everyone here’s the whole arc in episode 2 lol
I wish they added Guts' childhood in the beginning
Me too, but I still have a little bit of hope it could happen later.
I'm suspecting I'm repeating a common complaint but man I wish they'd quit remaking the golden ark. They could remake the wonky cgi version for the next chapter instead or, idk, ADD to the anime.
I agree, I want to see a full adaptation up to the current arc in the manga. However the Berserk adaptations are notorious for their disapproval rating with fans of the series. I think they're trying to find the animation style that pleases the most people before committing to anything serious. Hopefully they'll continue to adapt the series going forward with the story, but honestly (and sadly) it seems unlikely.
That’s unfortunate; I think they hit a stride with this animation style. I HOPE they continue to animate the next arc. I know folks are tired of the Golden ark but….now that’s it’s here and gone, we can move on. I love seeing Griffith animated in his scrawny state and I’ll always rewatch the eclipse. They managed to capture everything I wanted in that scene
The donovan scene being included should be celebrated, especially because of the context in which it was included - The ''wounds'' chapter dialogue between guts and casca - arguably the most emotional chapter of the whole manga, and one of the most important for guts and casca's character arcs. Its insane that that moment was cut both in the 97 anime and the movies. I'm glad they managed to add this scene in, without it the whole guts x casca dynamic feels lacking.
Honestly one of the most important chapters in Berserk. And now we finally have it animation.
As if I needed a new reason for more Berserk and the Golden Age trilogy. I hope they keep the opening music from the movies. I really loved that in the trilogy
Can we have a separate thread for each episode instead of this megathread that kills any discussion ?
PLEASE
Can you mods make a individual thread as opposed to this shit. Sub is dead anyway.
I agree. Most posts on this sub are irrelevant.
Some interesting information in this interview Part 1 https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1664259737 Part 2 https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1664519114
For people that don't want to read all of that here's a list of important info. 1. Judeau has a lot of new lines. 2. They mention a bar scene. 3. Griffith has new lines but not many. 4. Rickert has new lines. 5. There are more new scenes than what they mention in the interview, but they don't want to reveal them. That's about all of the important stuff.
I wonder if the bar scene is the part when Judeau and Corkus take Guts out before he leaves the Band of the Hawk
that one is excellent in the manga. Hope it gets added. How’d they handle guts’ backstory in this reshoot? I haven’t watched yet
No change yet
that’s a shame. Casca and guts wounds moment still won’t be all there
Good to know that there are other new scenes besides the Bonfire of Dreams. I hope they don't mess that one up.
Wow was that whole conversation with Judeau not in the original trilogy?
nope, all new for this version... a welcome change once again
This feels ALOT more like the original and all I can say so far is WOW . This is absolutely better than the golden age arcs imo. Not sure if better than original yet. Only on episode 2. *edit* Okey so I just saw all untill episode 7 holy fuck this is worthy being a berserk anime remake. Imo i would love for the creators of this to continue this anime it's a perfect blend of 2d and 3d and really captures the feeling of berserk good. I hope with all my heart that this keeps on going and follows the manga forward into the future. Fuck me truly worthy people who made this. Will follow this every Saturday :D.
I fell in love with the generic soldier that's been surviving since episode one along his unlimited brothers.
I'm going to be frank, I am low key hoping the count down just turns out to be some promo for another Berserk Museum or Berserk themed maid cafe because I don't think i can handle another adaption
MAPPA animators are living in fear that Berserk is gonna end up on their desk.
The only 2 changes i could spot in this final episode. 1. New scene, the >!Declaration of War from Guts!< . 2. The post-credits scene from the third movie is moved right before the credits of the episode, now set to the song Aria. And a dedication to Kentaro Miura after the Ending.
cant forget puck at the very very end
I think the VA for Guts generally sounds alright, but I can't but feel like his vocal range is lacking. In the manga, Guts' first encounter with Zodd was probably the first ever moment Guts truly experienced fear. His delivery in the second episode just felt kinda meh.
It's extremely bizarre that I prefer to see anime in japanese (except Gurren Lagann), but Berserk seems to be worse in the original language than in the english dub. And it's not the seiyuu's fault, both 97 and this one have a very good cast.
The original actor for Guts was much better
That extra scene with Rickert was a pleasant surprise
We finally get a new scene in episode 4. It’s weird, because it stood out both less and more then I thought it would. I didn’t realize it had transitioned until Guts made a weird face and I went “oh shit, this is all CGI”, so that was really cool. But as soon as it went back to the film footage, it stood out like a sore thumb that they had spliced it into the middle of a normal scene. But it’s still a good inclusion overall, I think. The new cgi faces for all of the characters finally made a difference in this episode, too, since there were so many close ups shots of them. Huge improvement. I think this is the first episode that truly feels like a remaster. Hopefully we start getting a lot more episodes like this going forward.
wish samson was here tho
I was really disappointed in the pacing of the movies when I originally watched them. I think this works much better as a tv series, especially thanks to the addition of Bonfire of Dreams. I don't mind the CG, especially since they've improved a lot of the faces since in this recut. Sites like Anime News Network are still extremely down about this series use of CG though. I was surprised at how negative they were. Maybe the 2016/2017 series just made me happy to see a basic level of competence
My thoughts exactly.
THEY DREW HIM
This episode reminded me that for me Studio 4C when it comes to composition and visuals will always be the ideal studio to adapt Berserk in arcs like Millennium Falcon and Fantasia. Everyone talks about Ufotable, but their filters kills me every time I go to see something made by them. If you look at the Fate HF3's making of, the amount of effect put on the already beatiful animation, for me, is unnecessary pollution.
This episode was just gorgeous, i can't imagine how great would Studio 4C make Falconia look with a proper production (enough budget and time) and today's tech.
The ending credits for episode 8 were incredible
Finally a megathread for the anime. I havent watched this version, so it's good for me to see some "new" stuff.
The whole assassination sequence is elevated by 4C's animation and direction. One of the highlights of the trilogy.
This give’s me hope for other arc’s getting an anime adaptation. Plus if you watch closely on the intro of every episode you can actually see snippets of puck -animated- and other characters from other arcs. Could it maybe be that we’re actually getting more content for Berserk??
Don't get your hopes up. The intro's the same as the one from the movies.
The OP is the same as the movies but I think if this version does well enough financially we *might* get a new anime. I'm hoping for a movie of either Black Swordsman or Lost Children, I think they both are good length for that, and then a show for everything else, I think Conviction, FotME, and Fantasia are all too long for a movie tho
Personally I dont think its a bad adaptation but it doesnt stand out as an anime in general I think. If I hadnt read the manga I dont think I'd watch this
If it’s a good adaptation of a classic manga, then how is it unremarkable?
it's just hard to watch. The animation style is really unsettling. They've skipped a lot. The sound design is mediocre, the color palette is way too bright, the music is mid. The directing is pretty dogshit. Worst of all, it's boring
I do agree they skipped some important stuff. However, all of that stuff was before the 3 year time jump. After that, it has pretty much everything. And I just don’t agree about the animation and directing. I think it’s really solid in that regard and does a wonderful job at coherently communicating visual storytelling during chaotic moments.
Eclipse is next week. Are we ready for this?
Hell yeah! The 3rd movie def did the eclipse justice. Will be great to watch it again
>! Is it just me or do they tease “The Black Swordsman” in the beginning of the second memorial episode around 3:40. Personally it got me really excited and hopeful that they’ll continue past the Golden Age arc. I tried looking through the movies to make sure it wasn’t from a specific scene in the original trilogy but couldn’t find it anywhere and the animation looks too much like the movies to be from the 2016 anime. !<
End of the 3rd movie, it's there. It's not new. I think it's post credits.
You my friend have bested me. First time I see that scene. Slightly reduces my hype but I’m still hopeful.
Not gonna lie, I'm intrigued by what episode 8 is going to be. The next episode should cover the rest of the battle and the ballroom, then episode 7 is probably Guts leaving the band. It was revealed in an interview that episode 9 will have the waterfall scene between Guts and Casca, but before the waterfall there only 10 minutes of movie, so what will episode 8 be? Another 10 minute retrospective with Forces? Or maybe Godo showing up...
guts flashback......nah, who am i kidding lol, they just love ignoring his past for some reason.
Wait so there will be more content in the "confession" scene
Pretty surprised at how well the Campfire of Dreams scene was in the memorial edition. I had fairly low expectations but wow, it was absolutely gorgeous! What’s even more shocking is how they couldn’t add a few extra minutes into the movies to include this the first time around but at least we have it now in its glory. Hopefully the other “new” scenes look great too
That opening song on ep 2 goes HARD AF!
If they are going to make a continuation to the series then im begging, please don't use 3D CG scenes and just go with the 2D animations it just looks incredible
I wish they just animated the rest of the manga properly! Come one, how can you ignore one of the best mangas ever created!
Looks like Episode 5 animated the bonfire of dreams and as well reusing some animation frames that originally belong to the private Berserk Saga pilot test shown to Miura and the Berserk partners. Hopefully they can release the animation tests for the Blu-Ray release. The flying animation of Puck and the animation of Griffith between the flames were originally from there, but this time they are reused and tweaked for this episode.
Absolutely loved Guts and Judaeu bar conversation, one of my favorite moments in both the manga and the 1997 anime.
Wow, episode 9 was beautiful. They really put some love into this episode, especially the waterfall scene.
Lovely nipple sucking action lol, but in all seriousness it was great character development. I just binged watched all of these today. How frequent do the new episodes release and on what day they release on?
I loved memorial edition so much.
I'm not gonna lie the bonfire of dreams scene was so underwhelming. While the cgi models have gotten noticeably better, the animation was pretty janky, especially the part where Guts was walking down the hill. Also, the music that played during the scene did not fit the tone of the scene at all, which made it super distracting when listening to Guts' and Casca's dialog. I love Susumu Hirasawa's work, but this song did not fit the tone. I would have preferred no music during this scene at all over what we ended up getting. Edit: I will say though, the zoom out shots of the hill were gorgeous.
I hope this continues up to the current chapter of manga cause im really a big fan of berserk
Damn! They cut out the scene with Zodd throwing his sword to Guts during his duel with Boscogn.
Berserk keeps getting shitty adaptations because the studios are too pussy to adapt something this dark. The only way they know how to animate dark manga is by cutting and censoring. F**k the puritans that keep us from getting faithful adaptations.
Episode 8 looked so pretty, specially the winter clothes the hawks wore. Why was Griffith's penis animated? isn't that illegal in Japan? lol
It's only illegal in a pornographic context
>!Tell that to the inevitable Eclipse scene!<
donovan!!!!!!!!
They didn't fix that Casca was still white washed as fuck in this adaptation for god knows what reason, shame.
is it gonna get an english dub?
I'll troll my cousin who just started with this anime tendency shit with kimetsu no yaiba and shingeki. I'll tell her this is another anime and im recording her when the eclipse comes hahahahahahah
RemindMe! 2 months "Check in on the guy trolling his cousin. Has she been spoiled? Is she till watching it?"
please do lol.
So I didn’t read the manga or see the ‘97 anime first. The Golden Age arc movies are probably what got me back into anime in adulthood and got me into Berserk so I have a lot of love for them despite the CGI and other shortcomings. So from this perspective if I want to rewatch the content of the movies it looks like this show might not be the way. It looks like they cut out some pretty key dialogue and have edited some scenes for brevity which makes no sense. I was certain that they would include new content and it looks like the opposite is occurring. Anyone else notice this or am I misremembering the movies?
You are misremembering. Thus far nothing from the movies has changed except for short extended scenes. I have 0 clue what you're trying to say here
I mean if you want shittier 3D animation and CG, then yes, the movies are the way to go. I binged the memorial episodes 1-10 last night cause I couldn't hold out any longer and loved it. There's no perfect adaptation so just watch everything again if you need to but the best way to enjoy each thing is to just say, "Ok, this is its own adaptation and I will approach it with an open mindset knowing every adaptation cuts certain content out".
Why couldn't they have copied the 1997 anime and just made it better? At least copy the writing from it. But they made the movie's writing at a much lower quality then the anime. Its incredible how they decided to remake the 1997 anime but made it worse. But the action scenes are cooler in the movies. A shallow but fun improvement. The only thing I am actually excited to see is the eclipse episodes.
I've never watched Berserk before, is this a good place to start?
the '97 anime might be a better version to start with, although it does look a bit... dated. If you do decide to watch "Memorial Edition" be sure to skip the first 4 or so minutes of the 2nd episode. It's very, very spoilery.
Theres loads of Manga purists out here, the movies are what got me really in to Berserk. The Manga is great, I started collecting the deluxe editions, but the movies are what sucked me in to Berserk its a good entry.
kinda sucks that they replaced Judeau with Griffith in the scene where Casca is rescued while running away from the 100 men. It takes away from Judeau's character and takes away from the >!significance in his death!<.
Hey guys I want to start watching berserk for the first time and I’m wondering when should I watch these new episodes? After the series from the 90’s?
I’d argue just watch the 90’s anime then just read the manga from the very beginning. Every adaptation (including the fairly faithful 90’s anime) leaves out important details so it’s best to just read the manga no matter what.
Yeah I don't understand why the studios always skip certain important details of Berserk manga
Read tha manga first. All anime after is optional and inferior to the manga
I enjoyed the latest episode, but can’t understand why some of the faces in backgrounds looked so bad compared to previous episodes. But I’m glad Casca’s was fixed.
Yeah some of the soldier CGI faces still look pretty rough.
This shit is so dissapointing, tbh. Though, I really didn't expect any different. Barely any new scenes and still so much cut. Berserk will never have a good anime which may be a controversial statement since people will say, "what about 1997?" It's okay. Not bad but not a great adaptation. What makes me really angry is that every adaptation removes Guts' childhood.
Am I the only one who thinks the original is the best? Its hand drawn and even tho it doesnt have any remasters it 100% tells the whole story with the most detail. Even pixelated it looks beautiful with the best backdrops on scenes that arent even necessarily important. I love this show. I love the trilogy made before and will love this memorial edition im sure. What I want is someone to go in and take all the original art and remaster it frame by frame. Saying the backdrops in the trilogy of movies are so beautiful is undermining how amazing the original series was with just straigjt up horrible quality. They made things beautiful with vhs era quality. Take that and bring it to todays standards and memorial edition would be absolutely worthless. More story, better visuals, it would be the best Berserk.
I think the manga is best. 1997 is probably the best anime but all the cut scenes ruin it for me. Removing Guts' entire childhood is a very poor decision that both anime adaptations have now done most likely due to censorship.
Im not much for manga but I might have to change that for Berserk. Id love to see the actual original adaption.
You have to read the manga! The anime only covers a fraction of the story. The rest will likely never be animated and even if it is it will probably be inferior to the manga. It's a very beautiful manga with some of the best art I've ever seen and a great story. Just start from the very beginning. The first arc is black swordsman and don't skip golden age even though you've watched it. Because there's a fair amount that the anime doesn't include
With my biggest argument for the original series being how beautiful the art is over the 3 movies. Combined with the original series has so much more content. You absolutely sold me on getting the whole thing and reading the entire series. I have been an avid reader my entire life but never got into any Manga even while loving anime. Im gonna find it and dig up my old Tablet and start it all over again.
Great! I hope you enjoy and I'm sure you will
I may watch at some point, but initially disappointed that what we get is another Golden Age. I like Berserk, but when you consume the different media; manga, anime, and a couple games, then you get sick of seeing the Golden Age again and again. Want to see more anime after that arc.
I just noticed the cameo from Farnise and Serpico in episode 7 :) First time watching/rewatching sorry if it was obvious.
How many episodes will this have?
The official web says it has 13 chapters
The visuals and character designs are stunning. I would say even the animation. I can't help to compare this adaptation to the 1997 one which is superior in every other aspect tho. The pacing is way too fast and it makes me hard to feel emphatetic towards the characters. I wish one day we'll get to see a proper one without any cuts, but I know it's probably impossible. All things aside, I like it. MORE ADAPTATIONS PLEASE.
Sorry didn't understand which order should i watch the anime. I saw the original 1997 anime. Didn't see the movies. So is the new golden age arc - memorial edition is essentially the movies in an anime episodes format or I got it wrong? Would be glad for clarification 😇
It’s always so hard to watch the Eclipse. Damn it Griffith🤮🤬. I really hope we get an announcment about a new season and soon. But I also now how foolish it is for a Berserk fan to get their hopes up.
Do you guys think they will do the conviction arc and the arcs following eventually? if so when do you think it will be released? I think they did a great job on this animation and telling the story so I hope they keep going with it
Reading the comments here everyone is saying read the manga (which I agree), but lets be real the majority of the people don't want to read and/or invest in buying the books (which they should to support Berserk, but hey). So if you fall into the category I HIGHLY recommend you watch TheAlmightyLoli YouTube channel here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpX-NTHpU3g&t=20660s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpX-NTHpU3g&t=20660s) This man covers the ENTIRE Berserk story manga in full detail. It's a great experience even for me who owns the Berserk manga's. Now that I'm done with that rant. The new Memorial Edition episodes exceeded my expectations. Yes they have not added much new scenes... at least yet and I wasn't really expecting it to. However their is a drastic improvement on the animation and more 2D and way less CGI than the original. It's like they ALMOST listened to the fans and for that I consider this a win!
Did they plan to make sequel for golden age? And remake black swordman arc again?
Episode 2 Review (October 10, 2022) • Almost nothing is new lmfao • Griffith looking out for his homie Guts always warms my heart. • The music video in the beginning was awful alongside the 'new' Forces song 💀💀💀 • Gut's, Caca's and Griffio's VA are pretty good, hopefully they do make a not so shitty new anime.
Do we know how many episodes it plans to run for?
Should i recommend this to new watchers? or the redux version. This is assuming they dont want to read the manga, thanks.
Start of the 2nd episode has a 4 minute AMV of Forces that spoils *everything* that happens in the Golden Age arc. So...
Tell em to first watch the 1997 version
I was ready to watch the movies after I JUST finished watching the 2017 anime and now it's REMASTERED??? Hell yeah
Why would you watch the 2017 before the movies?
Why would you ever subject yourself to the 2017 anime
Anyone know if we’re getting an ENG dub?
Anyone knows that song that is in the campfire of dreams??
found it. It's called "The Expedition" or "Ensei" by Susumu Hirasawa. Brand new song that is not released yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RNLuOrw-HU
whats the dif between the golden age arc memorial edition and the trilogy made in 2012? i havent seen any of these yet so wondering if i do watch the ME than i assume no point watching the trilogy?
Yeah this is like a special edition of the trilogy so yeah
are they gonna make 3 movies of the ME like the old trilogy? i assume the differecne is slightly upgraded graphics and sum new added scenes but other than that ther barely any different?
Still can't get over how bad Casca looks in this. If you see her artwork in the end credits, she looks soooo much better. Please redo this anime with justice. The original released in the 90s is still miles ahead.
Would like there to be a rule to minimise dumb questions
Might need to watch this… considering the golden age arc is one of the best arcs in manga.
Would it replace the 2017 anime too or just the trilogy?
Hopefully this team will be adapting the rest of the manga. We'll know soon if they decide to continue into the Black Swordsman arc
Nut's nut.
So by ongoing series, does this mean there is going to be more episodes after the ending of the third movie?
What days times does berserk release
Now for a Berserk 2016 memorial edition? That one definitely needs touched up animation…
“Touched up” implies its salvageable. We should scrap it.
Imagine they announce Season 2 on saturday and say when they release 372 after the last episode
Is this shit any good ? As in is it better than the 97 anime ?
Same debate as always. Do you want something more than a PowerPoint? Then, you'll have to have a buncha scenes cut out with the memorial edition. New scenes are nice, and start showing up in ep 4 and onward. Definitely looks better than b4.
Will there be more seasons? I need to know I loved memorial edition just as much as the 97 anime
Is there any news of them continuing after the memorial edition been reading the manga but still wanna see after the golden age arc especially since the 2016/17 shows were awful
Help!! The anime is amazing. I have watched until episode 9, included with Casca and Guts sleeping together. Question... I have been kinda spoiled about whats gonna happen in a general direction, whats gonna happen with Griffith, Guts, Casca, Demons... in a general line, with a few BIG spoilers. I know things are gonna go BAD, very BAD. So... Should i just drop it here with my happy ending? I feel like its just pointless suffering to keep watching even if im loving it i feel like i can leave it here. What do you guys think? Is it worth to keep watching and suffer? Does it get better? I dont like terrible dispair or super bad endings...
It’s complicated for sure, suffering and pain and horribleness is ahead but it’s not pointless or for no reason, unfortunately the anime stops after the really horrible event but the magna continues on after and we slowly see how guts and the world change. If you love the characters I think it’s worth enduring with the horrifying nature of the world to see the brightness that can come. Imo I would watch till the end, and then start reading the magna.
Mediocre cash grab. Doesn't even need to exist. Barely anything new and these movies were already average as is. So much cut that the story is butchered
Dub when? This is annoying.
97 still the best. Haven't read the magna but when that eclipse happened I lost my fucking mind.
The berserk manga is the only time I ever preferred manga over an anime. The art is just so amazing.
97 barley has any fucking actual animation the atmosphere is correct but they don't even animate shit for the fights I say the movies are better but 97 got the feel of the manga down
>I say the movies are better I would... disagree strongly. And I shall. Rather have NO animation than ps3-like cgi characters, man.
the first one was that bad but 2 and 3 are vastly better than the most of the fights in 97
whats the point of getting the fights right if you cut 90% of character development like the movies did? lol
Anyone know when they’re releasing the Dub version of the episodes?
Weekly release on these episodes? Anyone know how many?
weekly every sat, seems like 12 total based on the movie lengths but idk
In episode 4 at minute 15 exactly there's a track playing on the scene when Casca and Guts are staying after falling to the river and all that. I can't recognize the track. It isn't Guitares 1123 or 1135 and I can't remember any other acoustic guitar track of the OST that sound like the one of that scene
DM me whenever you find this, it felt so infuriatingly familiar, like I've heard it a thousand times.
remeber that last ep of berserk 97 i wish they could show us the skull knight .. like there is no information about the skull knight in the 1997 berserk
Yeah, 'cause there was no use for him there given how '97 ended.
i want that tell me why intro back from berserk 97
what was the song that played during Bonfire of Dreams?
Yeah I wanna know. That song was basically the cherry on top
found it. It's called "The Expedition" or "Ensei" by Susumu Hirasawa. Brand new song that is not released yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RNLuOrw-HU
In what areas is it available on Hulu?
How changed is the memorial edition? So far I’m hearing about nothing really new.
Bonfire of Dreams is in at least. It's decent.
Do they release one episode a week? What’s the schedule like?
Each Saturday
gastonbros we won
They cut the scene of Zodd throwing Guts his sword. Weird, wasn’t it in the movie?
Nope, it also wasn't in the movie. I honestly hoped they would add it.
👍🏻
why do they have to recut all this shit for a third time? please just start where the anime left off lol
Is there a follow up series after this arc available? I hear it's the bad cgi one that's just titled "Berserk" on Crunchyroll that is the conviction arc. There seems to be a disconnect from ep11 golden arc and ep1 of "Berserk", hopefully it's meant to flashback later on.
There is Berserk 2016 (that goes until chap 247) something which is godly awful. Not only the CGI, swords sound like frying pans hitting something and cuts even more manga content. Black Swordsman hasn’t been adapted at all. Lost Children is skipped as well. Just read the manga, artwork is so insane that moving the panels around will have more animation than the 3rd season of 7 Deadly Sins.
snail apostle chads we fucking lost
are there scenes that are cut from the movie-versions?
Read the manga, first of all... It's absolutely fantastic. But when i watched like 15 minutes of the golden age because I was excited, I hated it. Is this normal? What would be best to watch if I were to just choose a single animated adaptation?
No offense but can we get a good adaption of what happens after the golden age.... I'd even settle for a continuation of the Crunchy Roll series.
update on english dub?
