@@ZealotOfSteal his statement kinda holds some truth. Greedyness and overambition are nails in the coffin of a product that requires so much care and passion to get it right.

For him, it would be a very little expense, yet I'm sure the final result would be good.
@@myyriad778 Or even if just a top tier animation studio did it. It doesn't have to look EXACTLY like the quality of the manga, that's an unfair expectation for fans to have. It just needs to get close enough while also looking fluid in motion with badass fights.
@@joshjones9749 I agree. Motion, the feeling of impact and fluidity are more important things to consider in an anime than the drawing quality itself imo.
we will never beable to enjoy a proper adaptation, just the 97' versión of it (that is of miura doesnt fucking die of old age and finish the manga tho)
yeah, the 90s anime visuals are clearly better even if they are done on the cheap side, but im sure this anime wont be so much of a joke as it is now, if it was fully 2d like the few scenes it becomes now and then

The worst part is that I watched the 2016 show before finally reading the manga, and now while reading the clang sound effect is burned into my memory whenever Guts hits something.

ZeskGames truth, even watching it AFTER reading can do that.
That Guts vs. Zodd fight looks like one of those SFM animation where they purposely animate with as few frames as possible for comedic effect, except without any of that intention. RIckert's facial expressions during that scene portray the audience's feelings about how it was animated.
Berserk 97: Do the extra work to make sure that every scene feels natural and smooth, never taking you out of the experience with a jarring animation slip up. And for the scenes that they simply couldn't do just for at the time, lovingly hand painted stills that continue to keep you feeling what the characters are feeling. And all of this accompanied by the timeless stylings of Susumu Hirosawa, who created songs so catchy and iconic people remember them 20 years later. Berserk '16: Hi there and welcome to the first episode of this Blender Tutorial
potaterjim Also Berserk 97: Let's have a borderline perfect song for the opening (Forces) and then just go with the fucking *Tell Me Why* instead cuz why not.
potaterjim people like to shit on the 1997 anime for cutting stuff out but who can blame the studio ? They had to cover so much ground in 25 or so episodes. However the scenery was beautiful the hand painted water color backdrops truly showed their love and dedication to the series.
Real life billionaires: We wanna go to space and create a metaverse. Me as a billionaire: Berserk. Financial adviser: What? Me as a billionaire: We’re redoing all of it, contact Madhouse, MAPPA, and UFOtable, tell them to drop all their projects. It’s time.
I'm at the point where I don't even care what studio animates it. Obviously, Madhouse would be a great fit but seriously it can't possibly get any worse. Right? lol I'm never going to get to see The Lost Children arc animated am I.....
Pretty much. By the way I first read your name as david schlong instead of david hong and it doesn't really matter so i'm saying this to say......... I'm not sorry about it.
I'm surprised you didn't mention how the dub didn't bring back the original voice actors that voiced the characters in the anime and the movies. They were brilliant.
The reason why they didn’t come back was because they wouldn’t hire the old voice director who worked on the 1997 anime (which was dubbed in 2002) and the Golden Age movies.
No, no... the fact Berserk 16/17 didn't bring them back makes sense. The anime was shit so of course they would forget details like that. Everything was clearly broken from the start, a project doomed to failure.
10:05 Had to wait for 3 years to do this. I am honored to present to you the worst fight scene animation; Escanor vs Meliodas from the Seven Deadly Sins season 3. That shit makes this fight scene a Donny Yen movie scene alright.
Yeah...yeah I couldn't believe wtf I was looking at when Escanor and Meliodas fought. A far cry from the quality of animation from the first 2 seasons...

His assisstant stated that this notes are 15 years old now and Miura was taking his time to watch his health more. He did a diet and a lot of sports, he was very healthy what was the reason behind the hiatuses. He took his time to not overwork himself. He didn't work hisself to death, his death came unexpected and something like that, can hit everyone.
@@LordVader1094 Yeah thats why im correcting people who are reposting this stuff. People deserve to know that he was not overworking hisself, especially in this hard industry.
I find comfort in knowing the folks that are working on the Castlevania show really want to do Berserk as well. Should the day come, I’m sure they’d nail that shit.
Hearing about the issues with the 2D and 3D teams really makes you appreciate Howard Ashman. The reason the Disney Renaissance movies flow so fucking well, why every movement, every line, every twiddle of a finger, informs everything else, is because Howard looked at the segmented style Disney's production team was doing at the time and went "that's fucking stupid, you guys are all coming to me wondering how we can do this, or this, or that, how do we accomplish this, how do we make THIS work - here's an idea, TALK TO EACH OTHER!" So the music guys, animation guys, voice directing and acting guys etc. all worked in tandem with each other, familiarizing themselves with how the other half lives and works, and building on their creative decisions from there. If Berserk 2016/17 worked like that, we could've had something truly special on our hands
I see you, Cvit, putting Best Girl Kainé's (and her Grandma's) themes in the video to flex your kino taste. Also being reminded of season 2's OP brings up the absolutely HORRIBLE choice to give Griffith a cliche, evil grin. Despite the fact that Griffith's consistently calm and poised demeanor since his resurrection in the manga has sparked many a debate on what exactly his mindset could be, since some argue that he is trying to do good or simply truly empty of typical human emotion since the Eclipse, so of course he would always be at calm. But the addition of that fucking laughable grin just paints him as a cliche and robs so much of the mystery. But excellent video, as expected, one that was worth the wait!
For a worse fight scene: Escanor vs. Meliodas Not only is the choreography terrible, the animation doesn't deserve to be called that (at least Guts and Zod can move at the same time), it is a noteworthy moment in the story where two characters of ambigous strength, a human and a demon, each fight seriously against a worthy opponent and in showcases a significant power up in a very disappointing way (kind of like the Grunbeld fight)
@asian dude bruh you sound dumb as hell. Just because an anime isn’t popular, it doesn’t deserve good animation ? Fuck off. There’s a shit ton of anime that’s not considered “popular” and have beautiful animation. prime example : Kaijū no Kodomo. No one talks about that movie and it has one of the most stunning and gorgeous animation I’ve ever seen. Nanatsu no taizai isn’t even that unknown, most people have heard of it.
@Jules Brown That's so weird. My public library has every volume of One Piece, but only one volume of Berserk. And when I checked the volume release dates, currently every volume of Berserk has been released in the US.
@Jules Brown Berserks online's translation is pretty solid though. Lot more professional than the Gantz Fan translation. Reading Gantz online is kinda hard, thanks to all the spelling and grammar errors. 😖
Personally I have no issue with reading, I read quite a lot of books. But I don't enjoy reading manga, the story of beserk is great and I enjoy reading the manga but I find that despite that I just lose interest, I don't enjoy the medium of text and panels and I sadly still haven't managed to finish the manga as I end up reading in small bursts at best.
The eclipse has started. Pippin has a broken back, Guts is screaming and Casca is losing her mind. Suddenly from the darkness, Femto swoops low, ready to destroy his betrayer in the most vile, disgusting way. Then, one of the apostles shrieks out as Femto rapes Casca: *"OH MY GOD!"*
Well. The second to do. The first one was really janky and I didn't like it at all. The second was better but still a bit disappointing. Then the third showed up and I was like holy fuck this is how you combine 3D and 2D animation. The fight between Guts and Griffith comes to mind. Absolutely gorgeous.
@@Pragabond Guts vs 100 men was fantastic. The direction, music, sound design, editing and choice of narration. Damn glorious, but then again, movies had a lot more budget and time than what series do, and this berserk series was very recent. A reboot from Japan isn't coming anytime soon. Maybe if Miura gives Berserk an ending in 2020 and it causes a lot of buzz in Japanese media maybe by 2021 if we are lucky we could get another one. If it isn't madhouse then it's not gonna be perfect though, I have yet to see a studio do a 100+ epidose series with fantastic animation and production value like HxH.
@@Pragabond Yea you can tell that the studio that did the movies improved with each one. Makes me question why the hell didnt they try to get that studio to animate the series. Smh
some of my favourite anime is actually in CGI, I don't think cgi is the problem just this studio doesn't have enough experience and isn't directed well. Watch ajin, garo, god eater or tekken blood vengeance...all have good cgi
Berserk was the first manga I began to read. I saw the atrocious 2016 anime, was not impressed so I started to read. Berserk became my favorite story of all time. The best art, some of the best characterizations, and lore etc... I watched the 90's anime and was very impressed. The movies were good-ish but this new series, both seasons were absolute trash. We deserve a decent adaptation, that isn't CGI! Fantastic video as always! Maybe one day we will get a great adaptation! The animators of the marvelous Castlevania anime want to produce a Berserk series! Hopefully it happens, we waited long enough for a great anime!
@@derwanker1090 I'd like to see the fight against Wyald animated properly, since it's sort of foreshadowing the Eclipse. Not to mention the whole Griffith assassinating the Queen subplot (which was pretty epic) and the fight Guts and the crew had against the Bakiraka when they were rescuing Griffith.
I realise now! Berserk 2016 was my first anime and i thought it looked great (and yes i was young and naïve) it was enough to satisfy edgy teen me and i was defending it but now that i see side by side comparison with the source material... Wow they butchered it
It wasn't my first anime, but it was close. This was the first anime I actually went out of my way to watch, any others I saw I caught because a friend was watching it, or it was on TV in those terrible 4kids dubs. When this got announced, I was so excited! My favorite manga gets an anime! Wooooo! When I first watched it, I quite liked it. Had a good time with it. I watched both the sub and dub and rewatched 2016 when 2017 came out. I only realized how terrible everything look and felt on that rewatch.
I just finsihed reading the manga, and it was so damn good. How is it that ANYONE in there right fucking mind would think it was a good idea to take one of the most beloved and most detailed stories ever and turn it into this shit. It seriously blows my mind
They could have used a sound similar to how the ultra Great swords in Dark Souls sound for the Dragon Slayer. Like, fuck I wanna hear a hefty, powerful sounding strike. Not CLANG CLANG CLANG Also Schnoz was the best thing in that entire anime.
Meanwhile at ArcSystem Works and Studio Orange they're making 3d Renders that look and move like 2d Anime. I mean its amazing that Berserk 2016 came out about the same time period as Houseki no Kuni, Guilty Gear Xrd and Dragonball FighterZ. The importance of experience, and good management, has never been so greatly highlighted.
Dude FighterZ looks so goddamn amazing- more amazing than dragon ball had ever looked before- for example the Broly movie was visually amazing so the gogeta and Broly dlc for fighterZ came out and it looks even BETTER like that dramatic finish bro!
No escaping this: "Can't hate" and "Don't loathe" mean two very different things. That genuinely feels like a translation trying to be flowery for the sake of flowery by replacing "hate" and "loathe" and not appreciating the ultimate difference to the scene. Direct language is best language outside of epic poetry.
Honestly the way Tokyo Ghoul Re and Berserk have come out, I believe it's just best to leave mature story-driven manga out of production until they get their shit right. If I hadn't watched the Golden Age arc, I wouldn't know what the fuck was going on. Same thing I saw a bunch of people saying about TG, we don't know what the fuck is going on but it looks cool so we'll roll. Next I really see no reason to keep anime in the same old condensed form of 22 mins, which works well for weekly manga since it's about 2 chapters for one episode. These shows manage to pack like 5 chapters into 15 minutes what the fuck... If they're already doing seasons and planning to sell them like that, why would you stick to the TV formula which falls flat on it's ass on the internet, where most money is made? Do 10 GOOD episodes and I would be happier than with the 51 we got.
Just remove the 3DCGI staff and hire more people for traditional animation. Heck, Goblin Slayer was immensely successful and it is pretty much a Berserk Light but with a halfway decent adaptation. Miyura and big studios like SHAFT, KyoAni and MadHouse hate money apparently, can't they just learn that shit sells when it has a good anime? I mean the SnK manga is pure shit and it sells like hotcakes because the anime has some production value.
3D cgi is not the problem .It's the execution .3d toon shader anime can look good .Look at Knights of Sidonia or Godzilla monster planet .Those are great
19:17 wishing I had watched this video before I did my Honor's Economics 201 project. that would have been a great article to cite the elasticity of demand in the anime market.
god this is so sad to see when the 1997 adaption looks so good and stays fairly accurate to the source material, sure some stuffs missing but i can only remember one instance being changed and thats in the beginning when they exchanged Puck for the girl that killed her father
Even if for a few moments, I was incredibly pleased listening to the Kaine(Salvation). After playing and loving so much of the Nier franchise I can definitely relate to including this song into that specific part. Thanks a lot, you've made my day!
@@HAWKEYESOLO I know but didnt his students or something promissed to keep berserk going? I know it wont be the same but hopefully it will be something in the Future....
People keep saying to forget the golden age arc but I think it needs a decent fully accurate adaption. It is the set up to a great story and is an amazing story in itself. Give us the whole accurate story, why is that so hard?
You had me cracking up this whole video.. I wanted to love this anime bc I love berserk.. but it's just so hard.. I really wish we had a good adaptation! Also Props on the Hollow Knight music
I want to see someone redo the entire two seasons in SFM. Edit: it feels kinda weird to have Isidro Literally follow around a guy named guts and a girl named caska and not have him put 2 and 2 together since the eclipse didn't take place too long before the third arc.
@@blackraptor1154 yeah, I know that I would name my kid guts because it’s cool. It’s not like someone would really only name their child something like that is viscera and gore had something to die with their birth
@@scottbruckner4653 Like, don't get me wrong, "Hundred-man Guts" would absolutely be expected knowledge for anyone both aware of and interested in the legend, but given that Isidro was under the impression that it could've been a thousand men, that game of telephone has clearly not been a kind one. It's not surprising specific tidbits like names wouldn't have survived the journey
It’s such a fucking shame this was even made. Berserk is a manga that truly deserves a good adaptation. People were foaming at the mouth for a new anime for 2 decades and now because this was made, it’s even less likely we will ever get an adaptation because they had to fuck this up so catastrophically. Wonder why it didn’t sell well
i was just sifting through comments, all disappointed in berserk 2017 and here you go making me smile again. nice one. not sure why it made me smile near instantly, but here, take a like.
Well let's think about it. It's glowing blue cause of all the demons and astral spirits it's killed... which means... THE ABYSS GREATSWORD IS A BERSERK REFERENCE?! DOES THIS MEAN ARTORIAS IS GUTS AND GUTS IS ARTORIAS? IS DARK SOULS A GIANT BERSERK JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE SAINT SEIYA REFERENCE? OH MAHH GAWDDDDDDD WE'VE FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! SONOVA BEACH! ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!! Yare yare daze.
The Dragon Slayer glow is of course due to the sword acquiring God ki, and using it on top of Super Saiyan. Guts leveled in Intelligence and Faith but not in Attunment, so he needs the SSJBlue sword to use magic and one shot Manus. I mean, can't you see that Guts is a saiyan AND Artorias?! ITS ALL CONNECTED GUYSEEE!
The illustration quality contained within the pages of the Berserk manga series is LITERALLY the greatest in the entire history of this medium across all genres(In my opinion). Do you guys agree or disagree? If you disagree, please leave a link if possible- I would love to see some of your examples of "Best manga art".
I thought One Punch Man season 2 and probably 3 got done dirty, but my god, it's a masterpiece compared to this. It's such a sick joke that it's Berserk of all series that's getting this treatment. I just don't understand it. A good, faithful Berserk series would print money.
15:13: This is hilarious. In the manga he's wearing a headwrap so it makes sense that the sword would come out the other side but in the anime he's wearing a metal helmet so it no longer makes sense that it could be penetrated by a sword thrust.
Berserker 1997 is by far one of best anime I have seen. All the other new episodes 2016 to 2017 can’t event compare seriously. The feelings you get from first berserk it’s unbelievable. I was watching 2017 and I was about to quit it at 3-4 episode boring and stupid.
They wanted it to look and feel realistic and extremely detailed like a “Live Manga” even though technically the manga is 2D there’s no way to produce the same quality of the manga in a 2D anime format this is shown even in the golden age movies where the most detailed shit for example the eclipse was a complete CGI battle ground with just the characters in 2D and even then they had switched between 2D and 3D because of how impossible it would have been to get it right. Had they had more time and better experience and tools the vision they were going for possibly could’ve looked beautiful.
Because it would take literally forever to animate action scenes in 2D. Look at the Golden Age movies as an example of how to do action scenes in 3D without compromising of the look of it as a whole.
You want to know what the saddest part about all of this is? I have a small anecdote, and a real one. I've been told by this person that, they're fine with this because they don't want to READ. So basically, not only is this a poor low quality butchered version of the much tighter original manga, it's actually probably being passed out as fine by lazy people who don't like reading. It's actively selling the original short. And that's the worst part of all of this. I'm not blaming the lazy people either, it's just, a side effect of making something this bad based on something really good, these sorta of things should've been made with much more care and love than this. I mean, the original Anime was fine-ish and hey I'll even say those 3 movies were fine too overall compared to these things.
@Rando Exactly, that's why good adaptations are needed, that's not to count people that have a deep issue with reading like dyslexia, which i have a small degree of. Didn't prevent me from reading it, but still. And hey if you like the thing, still, give it a try, sometimes you dont need to read all the words, just the key points, you flip through pages quickly that way, key points + the visual art really takes you far in mangas. Tho, dont read on bed before sleep, i started doing that and now whenever i read a manga my brain goes ''time to sleep? here get sleepy''.
The observation about them cutting the moonlight child aged unbelievably well now that we know what happens right after the boat arc in elfhelm. They cut so many important plot threads that a season 3 literally wasn't even makable.

The worst part is that I watched the 2016 show before finally reading the manga, and now while reading the clang sound effect is burned into my memory whenever Guts hits something.
ZeskGames truth, even watching it AFTER reading can do that.
If it helps, go watch a 10 hour loop of the Moonlight Greatsword hitting things?
Oh God. I pity you cus' I read the manga first.
Im so sorry

That Guts vs. Zodd fight looks like one of those SFM animation where they purposely animate with as few frames as possible for comedic effect, except without any of that intention.
RIckert's facial expressions during that scene portray the audience's feelings about how it was animated.
What's especially shocking to me is how the CGI cutscenes from the PS2 game made over a decade ago look and flow better than this series
Even the PS4 Musou game looks better.
Because games in general have a higher budget than movies and series's
@@touchingisjustthefirststep that's very false.

Shut up.

Hearing about the issues with the 2D and 3D teams really makes you appreciate Howard Ashman. The reason the Disney Renaissance movies flow so fucking well, why every movement, every line, every twiddle of a finger, informs everything else, is because Howard looked at the segmented style Disney's production team was doing at the time and went "that's fucking stupid, you guys are all coming to me wondering how we can do this, or this, or that, how do we accomplish this, how do we make THIS work - here's an idea, TALK TO EACH OTHER!"
So the music guys, animation guys, voice directing and acting guys etc. all worked in tandem with each other, familiarizing themselves with how the other half lives and works, and building on their creative decisions from there.
If Berserk 2016/17 worked like that, we could've had something truly special on our hands
I see you, Cvit, putting Best Girl Kainé's (and her Grandma's) themes in the video to flex your kino taste.
Also being reminded of season 2's OP brings up the absolutely HORRIBLE choice to give Griffith a cliche, evil grin. Despite the fact that Griffith's consistently calm and poised demeanor since his resurrection in the manga has sparked many a debate on what exactly his mindset could be, since some argue that he is trying to do good or simply truly empty of typical human emotion since the Eclipse, so of course he would always be at calm. But the addition of that fucking laughable grin just paints him as a cliche and robs so much of the mystery.
But excellent video, as expected, one that was worth the wait!
I love your profile image. Man, I've wanted a Megaman Zero anime since I first played those games.
He needs to stop with the nier music man...its killing me internally

For a worse fight scene: Escanor vs. Meliodas
Not only is the choreography terrible, the animation doesn't deserve to be called that (at least Guts and Zod can move at the same time), it is a noteworthy moment in the story where two characters of ambigous strength, a human and a demon, each fight seriously against a worthy opponent and in showcases a significant power up in a very disappointing way (kind of like the Grunbeld fight)
@asian dude bruh you sound dumb as hell. Just because an anime isn’t popular, it doesn’t deserve good animation ? Fuck off. There’s a shit ton of anime that’s not considered “popular” and have beautiful animation.

Guts vs 100 men was fantastic. The direction, music, sound design, editing and choice of narration. Damn glorious, but then again, movies had a lot more budget and time than what series do, and this berserk series was very recent. A reboot from Japan isn't coming anytime soon. Maybe if Miura gives Berserk an ending in 2020 and it causes a lot of buzz in Japanese media maybe by 2021 if we are lucky we could get another one. If it isn't madhouse then it's not gonna be perfect though, I have yet to see a studio do a 100+ epidose series with fantastic animation and production value like HxH.
@@Pragabond Yea you can tell that the studio that did the movies improved with each one. Makes me question why the hell didnt they try to get that studio to animate the series. Smh

"The story continues ( no it wont)" Now has a very different meaning...Rip Mirua
And now it’s false
Jesus christ whenever it cuts to Guts during animation, his smile looks like nightmares itself
They could have used a sound similar to how the ultra Great swords in Dark Souls sound for the Dragon Slayer. Like, fuck I wanna hear a hefty, powerful sounding strike. Not CLANG CLANG CLANG
Also Schnoz was the best thing in that entire anime.
You gotta admit, near every aspect and shot of this show is comedy gold
If they could just make it like the movies, I wouldn't mind because I liked the animation and 3d mash up way better in the movies than the show
Same
Same, i actually really like the style and animation of the movies
Meanwhile at ArcSystem Works and Studio Orange they're making 3d Renders that look and move like 2d Anime. I mean its amazing that Berserk 2016 came out about the same time period as Houseki no Kuni, Guilty Gear Xrd and Dragonball FighterZ. The importance of experience, and good management, has never been so greatly highlighted.
Dude FighterZ looks so goddamn amazing- more amazing than dragon ball had ever looked before- for example the Broly movie was visually amazing so the gogeta and Broly dlc for fighterZ came out and it looks even BETTER like that dramatic finish bro!
No escaping this: "Can't hate" and "Don't loathe" mean two very different things. That genuinely feels like a translation trying to be flowery for the sake of flowery by replacing "hate" and "loathe" and not appreciating the ultimate difference to the scene. Direct language is best language outside of epic poetry.
Was literally watching ur berserk 2016 Review and now u uploaded for 2017 too im blessed
Don't understand why they don't hire the people who made golden age
Those people probably moved on with different studios and directors
Or at least try to copy the same techniques like the way faces were drawn on 3d models.
the movies were perfect
Now that the writer is dead they should really make a new adaptation with a decent studio of the existing material as a way to honor him.
Honestly the way Tokyo Ghoul Re and Berserk have come out, I believe it's just best to leave mature story-driven manga out of production until they get their shit right. If I hadn't watched the Golden Age arc, I wouldn't know what the fuck was going on. Same thing I saw a bunch of people saying about TG, we don't know what the fuck is going on but it looks cool so we'll roll. Next I really see no reason to keep anime in the same old condensed form of 22 mins, which works well for weekly manga since it's about 2 chapters for one episode. These shows manage to pack like 5 chapters into 15 minutes what the fuck... If they're already doing seasons and planning to sell them like that, why would you stick to the TV formula which falls flat on it's ass on the internet, where most money is made? Do 10 GOOD episodes and I would be happier than with the 51 we got.
Agree Seinen manga tend to always be adapted poorly
And just when I thought I erased this abomination from my memory
They pulled you back in
BUT the OST is nice, the only good thing about it.
Just remove the 3DCGI staff and hire more people for traditional animation. Heck, Goblin Slayer was immensely successful and it is pretty much a Berserk Light but with a halfway decent adaptation. Miyura and big studios like SHAFT, KyoAni and MadHouse hate money apparently, can't they just learn that shit sells when it has a good anime? I mean the SnK manga is pure shit and it sells like hotcakes because the anime has some production value.
3D cgi is not the problem .It's the execution .3d toon shader anime can look good .Look at Knights of Sidonia or Godzilla monster planet .Those are great
Don’t forget the master of cgi houseki no kuni ;)
The CGI in "Karas" looked fucking incredible and it's old. It's not the problem with CG, it's the lack of experience and talent to pull it off.

@@Jay-hb3ix I think he's just talking about the art. But the manga is great regardless.

The Dragon Slayer glow is of course due to the sword acquiring God ki, and using it on top of Super Saiyan. Guts leveled in Intelligence and Faith but not in Attunment, so he needs the SSJBlue sword to use magic and one shot Manus.
I mean, can't you see that Guts is a saiyan AND Artorias?! ITS ALL CONNECTED GUYSEEE!
int is blue dex
blue sword means magic weapon was used
magic weapon needs int
therefore gutts has leveled int, aka blue dex.
Fuckin casul
@@draxxilion5957 guts didn't level dex because the "greatsword" is a strength weapon. Still nooby as all hell

Anime Berserk: YoU LIke JAzZ?
“C’mon, Hellsing did it so we should too!”
Ironic how one of the most detailed manga got the one of the most undetailed anime
at least we have the manga....at least....we have that...
At least we have HIATUS
The illustration quality contained within the pages of the Berserk manga series is LITERALLY the greatest in the entire history of this medium across all genres(In my opinion). Do you guys agree or disagree? If you disagree, please leave a link if possible- I would love to see some of your examples of "Best manga art".

I know there's a lot of love for Jojo's Bizarre Adventures: Steel Ball Run, which is considered to be the best of the current parts.
I thought One Punch Man season 2 and probably 3 got done dirty, but my god, it's a masterpiece compared to this.
It's such a sick joke that it's Berserk of all series that's getting this treatment. I just don't understand it. A good, faithful Berserk series would print money.
I have been looking for this video for a year holy crap thank you algorithmic destiny!
Berserk? CLANG INTENSIFIES
Clang clang bizarre adventures: phantom metal
@@davidhong1934 The Berserk world is so brutal even the rabbits are hard as fuck.
What a beautiful duCLANG
15:13: This is hilarious. In the manga he's wearing a headwrap so it makes sense that the sword would come out the other side but in the anime he's wearing a metal helmet so it no longer makes sense that it could be penetrated by a sword thrust.
Berserker 1997 is by far one of best anime I have seen. All the other new episodes 2016 to 2017 can’t event compare seriously. The feelings you get from first berserk it’s unbelievable. I was watching 2017 and I was about to quit it at 3-4 episode boring and stupid.
The only thing that got me through the anime was the goofy ass sound swords make. It sounds like gmod lmfao
I need just that clip of Schnoz, it's absolutely beautiful.
To this day I still think it should've never had 3D animation in it. What was so wrong with just having the anime be 2D
because you can't render 3D manga designs into 3D animation. Too much work required, so 3D is faster, which is looks terrible.
They wanted it to look and feel realistic and extremely detailed like a “Live Manga” even though technically the manga is 2D there’s no way to produce the same quality of the manga in a 2D anime format this is shown even in the golden age movies where the most detailed shit for example the eclipse was a complete CGI battle ground with just the characters in 2D and even then they had switched between 2D and 3D because of how impossible it would have been to get it right.
Had they had more time and better experience and tools the vision they were going for possibly could’ve looked beautiful.
Because it would take literally forever to animate action scenes in 2D. Look at the Golden Age movies as an example of how to do action scenes in 3D without compromising of the look of it as a whole.
Look at Vinland saga manga that barley anyone talks about got a anime that used a bit of cgi and 2d well.
@@buffoonustroglodytus4688 what? Berserk 1997 is one of the most popular anime in 90s
I honestly kinda like how griffiths blade didn’t get blood there, it would be cool if he never got blood on it to sell him being “angelical”
You want to know what the saddest part about all of this is? I have a small anecdote, and a real one.
I've been told by this person that, they're fine with this because they don't want to READ. So basically, not only is this a poor low quality butchered version of the much tighter original manga, it's actually probably being passed out as fine by lazy people who don't like reading. It's actively selling the original short. And that's the worst part of all of this. I'm not blaming the lazy people either, it's just, a side effect of making something this bad based on something really good, these sorta of things should've been made with much more care and love than this. I mean, the original Anime was fine-ish and hey I'll even say those 3 movies were fine too overall compared to these things.
@Rando Exactly, that's why good adaptations are needed, that's not to count people that have a deep issue with reading like dyslexia, which i have a small degree of. Didn't prevent me from reading it, but still. And hey if you like the thing, still, give it a try, sometimes you dont need to read all the words, just the key points, you flip through pages quickly that way, key points + the visual art really takes you far in mangas.
Tho, dont read on bed before sleep, i started doing that and now whenever i read a manga my brain goes ''time to sleep? here get sleepy''.
It looked like a project me and my classmates made, where I was forced to edit it in 3 days because I was to shy to act as the director
Imagine a FAITHFUL Berserk adaptation done by Studio WIT or Mappa 🤤
Its their next project after AoT I bet. I bet Wit takes it too.
I BEG
I respect you deeply for using nier ost as background music
a game that's heavily influenced by Nietzsche just like berserk
Time to go on this ride again...
Please get me off...
The observation about them cutting the moonlight child aged unbelievably well now that we know what happens right after the boat arc in elfhelm. They cut so many important plot threads that a season 3 literally wasn't even makable.
Can't tell whats worse, being in the eclipse and barley surviving, disfigured and doomed to oblivian. or watching berserk 2016/17
