Because sometimes the animation isn’t good in the ‘97 version. However, the hand painted still frames are what truly stands out in ‘97 and that’s why it’ll always be classic to me. They capture the mood of berserk because they look like they’re straight out of a mideval painting. Also, the English dub for the 97 series is one of the greatest anime dubs of all time. The voice acting for every single character is perfect. Especially guts’s voice actor. 97 berserk will always be one of my favorite anime series of all time. There was a lot of heart and hard work put into it. Guts ‘97: “I need it. I need to fight until the voices stop. I want to fight until I remember nothing!” That’s why I love the English dub.
Me too, fellas. My heart is touched when I read your comments. I hope David Production collab with Production IG or MAPPA or another greatest studios that have done multiple seinen animes to do Berserk anime with properly and masterpiece adaptation. Alhamdulillahirabbil'aalamiin, brother
There is no other medium that can present the beauty, the FABULOUSITY, and the sheer amount of GAY that Griffith exudes with each moment on panel. My favourite rapey boy may have been done dirty in character development, but at least he is still pretty.
When you realize this it makes it seem like they did this on purpose.. Guts is the ugly truth Griffith is the beautiful lie FUCK NO they don’t have the intelligence to think of that.. this shit had to be an accident 😂
@@Osiris1K yes man I agree there are some few parts in this anime where im like yo that looks dope but then they turn around and make it look dogshit again
Imagine a new berserk anime adaptation made it exactly like the animated series from 1997, that continues where they left and finished the whole story. That whould be my dream.
Not a anime/beserk fan nor a maga reader but i was wondering is the 1997 show bad because i hear beserk fans say that beserk never had a _good_ anime adaption and i look at a few clips of the show and it looks fine both story wise and animation wise
@Urn Turn I feel that the story's strength comes from both its artistic display as well as the way it delivers the story. 2016 gave the story but not the animation or artistic display.
It's not really reasonable to expect any adaptation to live up to Berserk's art. 1997 didn't either, though it didn't fail as badly as 2016 did. Berserk may just be the most beautiful manga out there, in no small part due to Miura's insane attention to detail. No 1997 anime with a standard budged could possibly live up to that. A modern anime with Mob Psycho-tier animation may possibly be able to, but 2016 was certainly not that. Even then, it's far from certain. Mob Psycho had the source material's minimalist, purposefully clumsy and flat art style working for it. Not having to put as much in every frame allowed the animators to draw a lot more frames. Compare that with Berserk, which has insane amounts of details and shading in every frame. I'm partly convinced that even modern animation could never live up to Berserk's art within a reasonable budget. For all intents and purposes, not even any modern manga should have been able to. The ever increasing level quality Miura put into Berserk's art was part of the reason for the manga's notoriously slow publication rate later on, to the anger of his editors. It wasn't something that could be sustainably kept up, but he did it anyway at the cost of only being able to publish a few chapters a year without working himself to death like he did earlier on when the manga had a stable monthly schedule. In the end, he could never finish the story.
Berserk can’t be 3D animated it’s that simple. I can’t even imagine how you look at some of the beautiful artwork throughout that Manga and decide it would ever be a good idea to turn that into CGI
i think there's only one part that would be better in 3d and that's the eclipse. those panoramic shots i think are really necessary to get the full scope of the dimension of abstract time. other than that i think the rest should be 2d because it's really needed to show the facial expressions and emotions of characters, something Miura painstakingly spent the most of his time perfecting.
Here's the thing, buddy. Since Berserk's manga has such amazing visuals, adapting it into animation would require either a heavily toned down artstyle (like the 1997 anime) or for the majority of it to be rendered in 3D (kinda like the movies). The problem isn't that they chose to render most of it in 3D. The problem is that they chose a director and studio that are highly inexperienced in 3D animation. The director was Shin Itagaki and while he's a very experienced director, he mainly specializes in cutesy moe anime and had no experience with 3D prior to Berserk 2016. The studio was Millepensee, whose only work prior to Berserk 2016 was a moe anime called Teekyuu, which had very cheap 2D animation and very fast-paced editing. To make things even worse, the production was an absolute mess. They spent a lot of time just trying to figure out what they were doing and trying to get everyone on the same page, and by the time they managed to pull themselves together, the deadline was approaching quickly and they had to rush everything, which resulted in the horrific mess we have now.
Honestly I guess the best Way to use 3D animation is by having IT as a refrence and the rotoscope it. That would make some scenes helluva more buetiful. The 2012-13 film trilogy did understand When IT was necessary to use 3D animation.
No it’s not, too much rock. Not enough orchestras or music that gives it that ethereal/fantasy feel. The music just makes it feel like a knockoff zombie show.
Ok to be fair I actually couldn't remember the music even though it was done by the shirou sagisa which is more of a testament to how bad the anime is. I actually had to TH-cam the ost to see if it was that bad It turned out it wasn't.
Ngl hated a decent amount of the songs. Too heroic sounding like “oh shit here he comes to save the day”. There are definitely some bangers in there for sure though.
I was thinking about watching this show out of desperation. Thankfully I caved and read the books instead. I've never had a show make me actually pick up the source material before. The 90s show and that film trilogy are so damn good.
Indeed. Berserk CAN be adapted - it HAS been adapted properly once already with the 97's animation. I mean, there's not much that can compare to the manga's fantastic art and feel, but at least the characters and story were properly conveyed, and personally I think they did well with the animation itself as well. While limited by budget, they did the best they could with it, and the end product is charming and thought through. It's such a shame that they didn't cover everything. Think of all the misery we could have been spared!
The JoJo anime perfectly captures the spirit and tone of the manga. If anyone eventually pulls that off with Berserk, it will be amazing. Just fantastic. Chainsaw Man is another example of adapting the Manga in a very effective way, despite it just coming out a few years ago. I wish we could get even a mediocre Berserk that covers all the arc
People always seem to look over the fact that Guts left to find his own dream, so that Griffith would see him as a true friend. Though that would never happen since Griffith is a liar and a hypocrite
I don't believe Griffith ever lied once or acted hypocritical. Griffith was a pretty open and straight forward person he'd March on toward his dream and cut down anyone or anything in his way. The fault lies with Guts and Griffith being unable to properly understand what they meant to each other.
@@fangwhiteclaw7089 that is not true, remember how he had guts doing his dirty work? And how he is letting the hawks believe that they are his friends? Dreamers are selfish, they will do anything to get what they want
I'm quite sure old Griffith saw him as a friend and same thing Guts with him. I just think that they never met someone similar to them especially Griffith never met anyone similar to him, so they pretty much misuderstood their own emotions. But Yeah, I believe they were truly friends.
Griffth and Guts were already friends, Griffith didnt want to admit it but he did treat Guts different from the team. He was special and set apart. Guts went off because he is Griffin’s friend.
That's because they were using a form of animation that had been perfected for almost 100 years at that point. 2016 chose a style of animation that has rarely worked well. I can excuse how bad it looks for the sake of trying something they didn't have much experience with. The sound design and the clang is unforgivable. It's immediate, before I could even make an opinion on the animation style the clang made me hate the adaptation
Watched this years ago without knowing much about berserk, went through the whole manga, and now i have the context to be absolutely horrified by this adaptation. Yay.
Magenkyo The most of the elemental hero archetype is the biggest dissapointment since guardians , while at least guardians died with their charachter , every kid will play this deck till the end of time
The sheer rage in your voice when you said *"And that's a big, fucking problem when that's the main character of your show."* was so understandable. I have just finished reading the Conviction Arc and this series still is a pain to watch.
Speaking as someone who's never firsthand experienced Berserk, looking at the comparison shots between manga and anime makes me think that an accurate recreation of the original artwork would take a theatrical-quality budget
You are absolutely right.....some of the panels of manga are so damn detailed that I don't know how should they get animated....but this 3d style was not at all a solution to it...
True, I wish some big studio would put a team together that actually loves Berserk and produce it with the respect it deserves, with a good budget. Studio 4°C treated it as best as they could with the movies and had plans to actually continue further than the Golden Age Arc but Young Animal acted like a piece of crap and gave it to Gemba a few years later. And thus we got the horrible 2016 version instead...
CGI Mozgus is somehow the funniest and most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen, like I thought he was spooky in the manga…who knew rendering him in CG would make him actual nightmare fuel
Yes it was, 99 percent of the story is it, theres no stupid changes, missing plot, stupid mistakes, and it's not cgi except for the 1st 4 openings which still looked way better than this
Miura’s legacy died with this anime? Are you fucking kidding me? He was a manga artist. He could probably care less about any of the anime adaptations after 1997. The anime was merely made to get people to read the manga and boost sales of what made Berserk what it is. Who cares about the anime. His legacy will live on through his peers that will continue the manga.
I finally caught up in the Manga and I'm just in love. For the longest I was blinded by the poor anime quality but I realised the Manga is where it's at and a lot of biased opinions come from people ONLY seeing the anime
Im lucky I was introduced to the series with the 1997 series in college and fell in so much i had to read the manga. Cant imagine seeing this garbage as my first introduction to Berserk.
Yeah mate , I'm 33 this year and it was my childhood too . I watched the first season like 5 times over.....watching berserk 2016 really made me depressed, I'm always just hoping they scratch it and maybe remake the 2nd season but I just don't think it's going to happen ....
i just want a full berserk anime. is that soo much to ask? no skipped arcs and... hey... what is this gray orb thing? -im sacrificing all of you to get an anime-
yup not to mention they made season 2 just for the sole reason of 5 minute Berserk armor action that's what i got from the whole full s2 and even that wasn't worth it
Look up Guts vs Grunbeld. Seriously look it up. Now compare that to Berserk 2017.... a fanmade edit of the PS2 game and PS4 game looks better than a 2017 anime.... let that sink in.
Jackio Makes That Booty Go Smakio I hate it everytime they use cgi in most things it never looks good. The last 2 db movies were good than they have random moments of cg when battle of gods had none
Afro Shinobi berserk is hard to draw and animate especially in a small time span but it doesn't seem like people care enough(even tho they do) if you look up the Gantz 0 movie you can tell berserk can get a faithful adaption given alot of time and actual care
Guanglai Kangyi, Age 15 great animation and great show
5 ปีที่แล้ว +17
Ikr? Just look at Parasyte. The manga came out in 1988 and then its adaptation came out in 2014. It had great animation and nobody even knew about that horror manga
30 years ago, Akira set the standard for high-quality animation with its then-meager 10 million dollar budget. The whole thing was drawn with painstaking effort that is clearly visible in every single frame; the sheer attention to detail is on par with Kentaro Miura's work ethic -- when he actually is working, that is...that lazy bastard. Fast-forward to this and one thing is for certain: Anime's haven't gotten more expensive to make; people have gotten cheaper and lazier.
deadlines have gotten shorter and artists are demanding more pay. You have to remember back in Akira days anime artists really did not get paid enough for their work. Heck they are still not paid enough. But as the pay for that kind of animation goes up, the producers will want less and less of it since CGI is so much cheaper than hand-animation. But remember CGI isn't the problem, BAD CGI is. There are several netflix originals that a exclusively CGI and honestly they look fine. But really if a studio is going to do and anime in CGI they need to commit to it, not do some hand-animation and some CGI because that always looks terrible.
Its exactly like the video describes the 2016 show. If you have never read the manga or watched the movies, you would think that Guts is just an edgy asshole, who goes around killing people, trying to find casca. And the only thing he cares about is to slash down everything til he gets there, while this is the exact opposite of guts character.
i will never understand why they take some of the most popular manga on the planet and gives it to some unknown director that doesnt know how to properly animate
If Berserk ever got a faithful anime adaptation that could somehow capture the artistic detail that Miura put into the manga then it would easily be the best Anime of all time.
@@nfiniteme2996 Castelvania have an anime that is really good animated, and people say that it has some resembling in estetic to berserk, so they want them to animate berserk. I don't know if it has confirmation.
shade Netflix has a Castlevania anime that has really good animation and the director stated he was working hard on trying to get the rights for his team to make their adaptation of berserk
@@Hi-xr6dt Animation is hella good and sound design is TOP NOTCH! It has a very deep story, but you have to get through the first season until you REALLY start getting into the deep stuff. But you get to the really fun to watch parts after just 5 or so episodes. It’s also very ecchi sometimes cuz it’s made by the author of Soul Eater, Atsushi Okubo. Pretty much if you’ve seen Soul Eater, imagine if Blare the Cat was a main character.
Honestly one of my top stories, immediately made me want to read the manga after the first season, and right now in the manga, OH BOY! I would definitely it’s say one of the hypest stories going on right now.
I pray we will get the anime we deserve. So many people yet to discover how great this manga is. I believe somone who loves this manga will come along and give it the proper respect and time it deserves.
i don't even the 97 one is way toned down in terms of violence and has some really shitty animation. But it’s well directed with great artwork and brilliant composition.
Riley Jones it's a TV show, you just can't show some stuff on TV. Yeah, the animation was limited, but if the director knows what he's doing, it's instantly great.
Crappy HR Yeah that was back in 1997 I think the bar was a bit lower (higher?) in terms of showable violence. (I could be talking out of my ass though so don’t take that as fact). It was also all hand drawn. Even to the back grounds, the fights etc. which... if you think about it, especially back in ‘97, is pretty impressive.
It may be my optimism, but I don't think Berserk is unadaptable. Would it be as visually stunning as the manga? Likely not, but nailing its pacing, animation, direction, characters, and themes (and for an nOn-GoLdEN aGE aRC) can easily compensate for not having Miura's SSS rank art imho. As it stands, Berserk fell into the wrong hands with this. While your reasons regarding why the anime's a mess are sound, I must disagree cuz I'm certain that this was the result of a shit sacrifice to the God Hand... Jeeeez, and I thought Skull Knight royally messed up.
yeah but wwhat if uotable adapted berserk you know the studio that made fate zero it s visually stuning and beautiful and it will capture the beauty of berserk as wel as pacing and characater perfecctly
@@lordmoncef5494 it would be a master piece from an animation stand point but i feel ufotable might simplify the characters too much kinda like what they did to shiro in UBW
It would've made more sense if every episode lasted from 40 to 60 minutes, like Hellsing Ultimate. I say that because Berserk sometimes gives us long philosophical conversations that wouldn't fit well into a 20 min episode but are also too good to be cut out.
Bro, I immediately thought of you and this video, after hearing the sad news about Miura sensei's passing. I believe you are one of the greatest fans of his work. I sincerely hope for you to make a tribute video where you share the impact of Berserk on Mordern Fantasy and show how special is Miura sensei's Master craftsmanship. RIP Miura. A legend!
MrFRNTIK your missing out guy, his streams are pretty great actually. Nier, Sotc, evil within, tekken, yakuza 0. That's jsut the more recent stuff. It's hilarious, especially with Clover
MrFRNTIK eh that's understandable, whatever floats your boat. I usually put them on when I'm doing other shit for background noise. That way I don't miss anything hype
MrFRNTIK oh god I remember that. I wasn't there for the original stream, but I was there for the one after where he found out what happened and played the recording and reacted to it. Fucking hilarious
I like to imagine an alternate universe where Madhouse picked up this series and gave it the Hellsing Ultimate treatment. They still haven't reached the Conviction arc, but they're getting there. Eventually. In like 15 years or so.
I didn't like Hellsing Ultimate. Looked so messy and unrealistic in a non-stylish way. Also I hated every chibi gag scene. Also, this isn't about how it looks but the story fucking sucked man. The Nazis are the worst part of the show. The author clearly doesn't know how to handle the OP main character. He let him kill everybody then haxed him out of the series for 30 years then brought him back.
Animation-wise Hellsing Ultimate is amazing, but the dialogue is mostly a pile of garbage. But don't take my word for it, just watch it again and count how many boring-ass speeches are made, specially in the latter episodes.
@@DeMoraJS it's quite simple: watch hellsing ultimate abridged, it still have the good parts of the show and have actually good dialogue, even when they aren't trying to do comedy.
It’s hilarious how low quality those sound effects are. It’s not just clanging pots, it’s clanging pots recorded by a mic in another room wrapped in a blanket and gone through several compressions.
These should have been high-budget movies like the last trilogy. If it's this or nothing, I'd rather have nothing in order to preserve the magic of the manga. Honestly. Waste of potential.
Panning can be used well in some cases. Like in Houseki No Kuni which is still the most beautiful anime I have ever seen and it was done entirely in CG.
Due to Made In Abyss's existence as an anime and the raw detail, emotion, and appeal it pulls off, I'm 100% certain Berserk can be adapted well. Some of the pages in the manga of MiA rival or flat-out blows Berserk's out of the water, and they went and added even more detail into the anime. Cuz why not I guess. Really need someone competent handling such a legendary series.
I love Made In Abyss and it's manga, definitely one of my all time favorite worlds, but saying the manga's art rivals or god-forbid blow's Berserk's art out of water is a fucking absurd statement. I went back to look at the art as I own manga copies of both, and as good as Made in Abyss's art looks, it can't even fucking compare. It never once had art good enough to rival Berserk, let alone be better.
You know how else this Berserk adaptation sucks? It nearly turned me away from Berserk. My first exposure to the series was the “Nightmare Vs. Guts” Death Battle video, I didn’t entirely care too much because I assumed it was just one of the 80,000 anime stories I’ve heard of before that are all pretty much the exact same thing with different characters, and the cliche anime garbage intro made my indifference to the series even worse. I didn’t know or care about the series or how popular it was, and I was unaware of how influential it was (what’s weird is that I used to think people loved it because of the new CGI, even though looking back, I probably never heard anyone say anything like that) As for its influence, I didn’t know all about stuff like Dark Souls, but it did look cool (I didn’t own it until pretty recently). What I also didn’t know is the fact that Dark Souls is heavily influenced by Berserk, as well as many other dark fantasy stories I could be interested in. And then as if Void wanted to teach me what fate was before I even knew what he himself was, I found Guts’s theme from the OVA. I was looking around for some good music choices for a future video I wanted to make, and one of my recommendations was indeed that specific song. I went into it expecting an extremely intense death metal song, with how little about Guts that I knew (again, all of my knowledge of Guts at the time came solely from the Death Battle video and from what little of the 2016 anime I saw) and I was surprised by what I heard, a gentle piano tune, an unusual rippling sound echoing in the background, and two soft-voiced singers. “This is the theme song of the same guy that viciously crushes people with a man-sized sword?” I expected it to kick off in a sudden fashion, like exploding into a vicious electric guitar riff or something, and it just didn’t. Then I found another video as a suggestion, “Everytime they play Guts’s theme”. Checked it out, and was again surprised by what I saw, Guts wasn’t the cruel anti-hero I used to think he was, he was human, he had more emotions than just anger, he wasn’t just a bloodthirsty maniac with a giant sword like so many other characters from anime shows and fantasy games I don’t care about, and I couldn’t even categorize him as a character archetype because he has so much going for him than just what the 2016 show’s adaptation told me he does. So yeah, the 2016 adaptation almost caused me to miss out on Berserk as a whole, and I’m glad that TH-cam’s algorithm actually gave me something worthwhile. Hell, one of my latest videos on my channel (at the time of this comment) is an instrumental remix of ‘Forces’ I made with Auxy Music Studio. But seriously, when an adaptation nearly turns away a new viewer and a potential fan because that adaptation of the original story is so poorly done, you know that something is beyond wrong.
I'll be honest, this show actually raised my Interest for Berserk(came from the Death Battle video too), and I originally thought the show was fairly good then, and then saw the 1997 OVA which I felt was pretty good as well. But now that I rewatch parts of the 2017 Berserk....yeah it's very bad in animation.

It's not really reasonable to expect any adaptation to live up to Berserk's art. 1997 didn't either, though it didn't fail as badly as 2016 did. Berserk may just be the most beautiful manga out there, in no small part due to Miura's insane attention to detail. No 1997 anime with a standard budged could possibly live up to that. A modern anime with Mob Psycho-tier animation may possibly be able to, but 2016 was certainly not that. Even then, it's far from certain. Mob Psycho had the source material's minimalist, purposefully clumsy and flat art style working for it. Not having to put as much in every frame allowed the animators to draw a lot more frames. Compare that with Berserk, which has insane amounts of details and shading in every frame. I'm partly convinced that even modern animation could never live up to Berserk's art within a reasonable budget.
For all intents and purposes, not even any modern manga should have been able to. The ever increasing level quality Miura put into Berserk's art was part of the reason for the manga's notoriously slow publication rate later on, to the anger of his editors. It wasn't something that could be sustainably kept up, but he did it anyway at the cost of only being able to publish a few chapters a year without working himself to death like he did earlier on when the manga had a stable monthly schedule. In the end, he could never finish the story.

I think if Berserk anime were remade I think Mappa will be the perfect studio
@@kucinghensem6314 Mappa, Madhouse, Kafka, Wit and Bones I think are the only ones who'd would give the art justice while using fluid animation
Berserk can’t be 3D animated it’s that simple. I can’t even imagine how you look at some of the beautiful artwork throughout that Manga and decide it would ever be a good idea to turn that into CGI
Its lazy
i think there's only one part that would be better in 3d and that's the eclipse. those panoramic shots i think are really necessary to get the full scope of the dimension of abstract time. other than that i think the rest should be 2d because it's really needed to show the facial expressions and emotions of characters, something Miura painstakingly spent the most of his time perfecting.
If mappa animated dis shit it would be S tier
Here's the thing, buddy. Since Berserk's manga has such amazing visuals, adapting it into animation would require either a heavily toned down artstyle (like the 1997 anime) or for the majority of it to be rendered in 3D (kinda like the movies). The problem isn't that they chose to render most of it in 3D. The problem is that they chose a director and studio that are highly inexperienced in 3D animation.
The director was Shin Itagaki and while he's a very experienced director, he mainly specializes in cutesy moe anime and had no experience with 3D prior to Berserk 2016. The studio was Millepensee, whose only work prior to Berserk 2016 was a moe anime called Teekyuu, which had very cheap 2D animation and very fast-paced editing. To make things even worse, the production was an absolute mess. They spent a lot of time just trying to figure out what they were doing and trying to get everyone on the same page, and by the time they managed to pull themselves together, the deadline was approaching quickly and they had to rush everything, which resulted in the horrific mess we have now.
Honestly I guess the best Way to use 3D animation is by having IT as a refrence and the rotoscope it. That would make some scenes helluva more buetiful. The 2012-13 film trilogy did understand When IT was necessary to use 3D animation.
I think the saddest thing about this show is that the music is actually fire
Shiro sagisu worked on it right? Evangelion and bleach producer?
@@tiredpoison5784 ye
No it’s not, too much rock. Not enough orchestras or music that gives it that ethereal/fantasy feel. The music just makes it feel like a knockoff zombie show.
Ok to be fair I actually couldn't remember the music even though it was done by the shirou sagisa which is more of a testament to how bad the anime is. I actually had to TH-cam the ost to see if it was that bad It turned out it wasn't.
Ngl hated a decent amount of the songs. Too heroic sounding like “oh shit here he comes to save the day”. There are definitely some bangers in there for sure though.

This anime is a miscarriage
Indeed. Berserk CAN be adapted - it HAS been adapted properly once already with the 97's animation. I mean, there's not much that can compare to the manga's fantastic art and feel, but at least the characters and story were properly conveyed, and personally I think they did well with the animation itself as well. While limited by budget, they did the best they could with it, and the end product is charming and thought through. It's such a shame that they didn't cover everything. Think of all the misery we could have been spared!
Slip Maskin Doesn’t the old anime leave out a lot of plot details. I still really enjoyed it though but yeah
The JoJo anime perfectly captures the spirit and tone of the manga. If anyone eventually pulls that off with Berserk, it will be amazing. Just fantastic. Chainsaw Man is another example of adapting the Manga in a very effective way, despite it just coming out a few years ago. I wish we could get even a mediocre Berserk that covers all the arc
Beserk Redux
The Katana Man fight is probably the best example of anime CGI done well
im not ready for the gun devil arc to be animated
People always seem to look over the fact that Guts left to find his own dream, so that Griffith would see him as a true friend. Though that would never happen since Griffith is a liar and a hypocrite
I don't believe Griffith ever lied once or acted hypocritical. Griffith was a pretty open and straight forward person he'd March on toward his dream and cut down anyone or anything in his way. The fault lies with Guts and Griffith being unable to properly understand what they meant to each other.
@@fangwhiteclaw7089
Exactly,it was a misunderstanding between to friends that caused all that events later.
@@fangwhiteclaw7089 that is not true, remember how he had guts doing his dirty work? And how he is letting the hawks believe that they are his friends? Dreamers are selfish, they will do anything to get what they want
I'm quite sure old Griffith saw him as a friend and same thing Guts with him. I just think that they never met someone similar to them especially Griffith never met anyone similar to him, so they pretty much misuderstood their own emotions.
But Yeah, I believe they were truly friends.
Griffth and Guts were already friends, Griffith didnt want to admit it but he did treat Guts different from the team. He was special and set apart. Guts went off because he is Griffin’s friend.

i got ''Tony stark build this in a cave! with a bunch of scraps!'' vibe from this
That's because they were using a form of animation that had been perfected for almost 100 years at that point. 2016 chose a style of animation that has rarely worked well. I can excuse how bad it looks for the sake of trying something they didn't have much experience with. The sound design and the clang is unforgivable. It's immediate, before I could even make an opinion on the animation style the clang made me hate the adaptation

Speaking as someone who's never firsthand experienced Berserk, looking at the comparison shots between manga and anime makes me think that an accurate recreation of the original artwork would take a theatrical-quality budget
You are absolutely right.....some of the panels of manga are so damn detailed that I don't know how should they get animated....but this 3d style was not at all a solution to it...
I would not have minded the look of something like 97 which also had a low budget for a new berserk anime if it meant it'd be in 2d and not 3d.
Like every other anime
take a look at studio orange, they are really good at cg
True, I wish some big studio would put a team together that actually loves Berserk and produce it with the respect it deserves, with a good budget.
Studio 4°C treated it as best as they could with the movies and had plans to actually continue further than the Golden Age Arc but Young Animal acted like a piece of crap and gave it to Gemba a few years later. And thus we got the horrible 2016 version instead...

Afro Shinobi berserk is hard to draw and animate especially in a small time span but it doesn't seem like people care enough(even tho they do) if you look up the Gantz 0 movie you can tell berserk can get a faithful adaption given alot of time and actual care
It did in the 90s
The director of the Castlevania series says he's willing to do it.
Guanglai Kangyi, Age 15 great animation and great show
Ikr? Just look at Parasyte. The manga came out in 1988 and then its adaptation came out in 2014. It had great animation and nobody even knew about that horror manga
Maybe Guts can fight against destiny, but not with a bad adaptation.
Berserk 2016 is the definition of " Look what they did to my boy"
30 years ago, Akira set the standard for high-quality animation with its then-meager 10 million dollar budget. The whole thing was drawn with painstaking effort that is clearly visible in every single frame; the sheer attention to detail is on par with Kentaro Miura's work ethic -- when he actually is working, that is...that lazy bastard.
Fast-forward to this and one thing is for certain:
Anime's haven't gotten more expensive to make; people have gotten cheaper and lazier.
supereldinho Fast forward:STILL NO TETSUO X KAORI VIDEO.
Deadlines have gotten shorter, too. But yeah.....it's like there's no soul nor limits pushed and more.
Christopher Marlowe
Exactly what I said somewhere else here
deadlines have gotten shorter and artists are demanding more pay. You have to remember back in Akira days anime artists really did not get paid enough for their work. Heck they are still not paid enough. But as the pay for that kind of animation goes up, the producers will want less and less of it since CGI is so much cheaper than hand-animation. But remember CGI isn't the problem, BAD CGI is. There are several netflix originals that a exclusively CGI and honestly they look fine. But really if a studio is going to do and anime in CGI they need to commit to it, not do some hand-animation and some CGI because that always looks terrible.

Berserk 2016 is all Griffith's fault, I just know it is.
The first adaptation was the best. It was THE Berserk. The music, the tone, the amount of violence - EVERYTHING about it was Berserk.
i don't even the 97 one is way toned down in terms of violence and has some really shitty animation. But it’s well directed with great artwork and brilliant composition.
Riley Jones it's a TV show, you just can't show some stuff on TV. Yeah, the animation was limited, but if the director knows what he's doing, it's instantly great.
Crappy HR Yeah that was back in 1997 I think the bar was a bit lower (higher?) in terms of showable violence. (I could be talking out of my ass though so don’t take that as fact). It was also all hand drawn. Even to the back grounds, the fights etc. which... if you think about it, especially back in ‘97, is pretty impressive.
1997 looked like a painting coming to life, I loved everything about it
It may be my optimism, but I don't think Berserk is unadaptable.
Would it be as visually stunning as the manga? Likely not, but nailing its pacing, animation, direction, characters, and themes (and for an nOn-GoLdEN aGE aRC) can easily compensate for not having Miura's SSS rank art imho.
As it stands, Berserk fell into the wrong hands with this. While your reasons regarding why the anime's a mess are sound, I must disagree cuz I'm certain that this was the result of a shit sacrifice to the God Hand...
Jeeeez, and I thought Skull Knight royally messed up.
Brandon Adrien after the sacrifice nothing was the same
Remember when pepole said that JoJo was unadaptable. It just requires the right talent,vision.
yeah but wwhat if uotable adapted berserk you know the studio that made fate zero it s visually stuning and beautiful and it will capture the beauty of berserk as wel as pacing and characater perfecctly
@@lordmoncef5494 it would be a master piece from an animation stand point but i feel ufotable might simplify the characters too much kinda like what they did to shiro in UBW
It would've made more sense if every episode lasted from 40 to 60 minutes, like Hellsing Ultimate. I say that because Berserk sometimes gives us long philosophical conversations that wouldn't fit well into a 20 min episode but are also too good to be cut out.

I didn't like Hellsing Ultimate. Looked so messy and unrealistic in a non-stylish way. Also I hated every chibi gag scene.
Also, this isn't about how it looks but the story fucking sucked man. The Nazis are the worst part of the show.
The author clearly doesn't know how to handle the OP main character. He let him kill everybody then haxed him out of the series for 30 years then brought him back.
Animation-wise Hellsing Ultimate is amazing, but the dialogue is mostly a pile of garbage. But don't take my word for it, just watch it again and count how many boring-ass speeches are made, specially in the latter episodes.
@@DeMoraJS it's quite simple:
watch hellsing ultimate abridged, it still have the good parts of the show and have actually good dialogue, even when they aren't trying to do comedy.
@@Miguel-iu1rr BRO! I love Hellsing Abridged for exactly those reasons. And the cannons. Bitches love cannons.
And people think that this was better animated than Goblin Slayer
At least goblin slayer is an actual good anime other than this monstrosity
@@parafaust6201 is it? first episodes felt like a teenager's power trip
@@Willie6785 well yes the first episode is questionable but the rest is pretty good
It’s hilarious how low quality those sound effects are. It’s not just clanging pots, it’s clanging pots recorded by a mic in another room wrapped in a blanket and gone through several compressions.
New title:
Everything *WONG* with Berserk (2016)
*Duwang
Everything Clang With Berserk (2016)
Put your grasses on you spelled wrong wong

its up to you
These should have been high-budget movies like the last trilogy. If it's this or nothing, I'd rather have nothing in order to preserve the magic of the manga. Honestly. Waste of potential.
Honestly, once Mappa is finished with Chainsaw Man and AOT they should handle Berserk. They're really good with serious and dramatic character arcs.
" nothing personal, kid." is so accurate its unbelievable
Why the hell did they feel it was a good idea to make the sword clanging sound like a fucking Sailor Moon transformation??
Sounds like they hired a six-year-old to make the sound effects, and gave them some pots and pans
Sakura Stardust not enough budget after the shitty computer animation fighting scenes
Anime using CG
Use PAN
Use PAAAANNNN
USE PPPPPAAAAANNNNNN
Panning can be used well in some cases. Like in Houseki No Kuni which is still the most beautiful anime I have ever seen and it was done entirely in CG.
they use panning for sound effects too
"Soooo... What arc should we do for the first episode?"
"Eclipse, Eclipse, ECLIPSE!!!"
"OH HELL YES!!!"
6:10 dude even if it shows up in the eclipse, it’s still very bizarre and makes no sense for Guts to do
If you've taken Shrooms while watching Berserk 2016, you'll want Griffith to Sacrifice the studio instead of the band of the hawk
Oaf lmao
Oaf if only
DAmnnn... I am so done now ... like an Oreo in Milk.
Best comment.
Due to Made In Abyss's existence as an anime and the raw detail, emotion, and appeal it pulls off, I'm 100% certain Berserk can be adapted well. Some of the pages in the manga of MiA rival or flat-out blows Berserk's out of the water, and they went and added even more detail into the anime. Cuz why not I guess. Really need someone competent handling such a legendary series.
I love Made In Abyss and it's manga, definitely one of my all time favorite worlds, but saying the manga's art rivals or god-forbid blow's Berserk's art out of water is a fucking absurd statement. I went back to look at the art as I own manga copies of both, and as good as Made in Abyss's art looks, it can't even fucking compare. It never once had art good enough to rival Berserk, let alone be better.
You know how else this Berserk adaptation sucks? It nearly turned me away from Berserk. My first exposure to the series was the “Nightmare Vs. Guts” Death Battle video, I didn’t entirely care too much because I assumed it was just one of the 80,000 anime stories I’ve heard of before that are all pretty much the exact same thing with different characters, and the cliche anime garbage intro made my indifference to the series even worse. I didn’t know or care about the series or how popular it was, and I was unaware of how influential it was (what’s weird is that I used to think people loved it because of the new CGI, even though looking back, I probably never heard anyone say anything like that)
As for its influence, I didn’t know all about stuff like Dark Souls, but it did look cool (I didn’t own it until pretty recently). What I also didn’t know is the fact that Dark Souls is heavily influenced by Berserk, as well as many other dark fantasy stories I could be interested in. And then as if Void wanted to teach me what fate was before I even knew what he himself was, I found Guts’s theme from the OVA. I was looking around for some good music choices for a future video I wanted to make, and one of my recommendations was indeed that specific song. I went into it expecting an extremely intense death metal song, with how little about Guts that I knew (again, all of my knowledge of Guts at the time came solely from the Death Battle video and from what little of the 2016 anime I saw) and I was surprised by what I heard, a gentle piano tune, an unusual rippling sound echoing in the background, and two soft-voiced singers.
“This is the theme song of the same guy that viciously crushes people with a man-sized sword?” I expected it to kick off in a sudden fashion, like exploding into a vicious electric guitar riff or something, and it just didn’t. Then I found another video as a suggestion, “Everytime they play Guts’s theme”. Checked it out, and was again surprised by what I saw, Guts wasn’t the cruel anti-hero I used to think he was, he was human, he had more emotions than just anger, he wasn’t just a bloodthirsty maniac with a giant sword like so many other characters from anime shows and fantasy games I don’t care about, and I couldn’t even categorize him as a character archetype because he has so much going for him than just what the 2016 show’s adaptation told me he does.
So yeah, the 2016 adaptation almost caused me to miss out on Berserk as a whole, and I’m glad that TH-cam’s algorithm actually gave me something worthwhile. Hell, one of my latest videos on my channel (at the time of this comment) is an instrumental remix of ‘Forces’ I made with Auxy Music Studio. But seriously, when an adaptation nearly turns away a new viewer and a potential fan because that adaptation of the original story is so poorly done, you know that something is beyond wrong.
this comment is longer than my expected life span
I'll be honest, this show actually raised my Interest for Berserk(came from the Death Battle video too), and I originally thought the show was fairly good then, and then saw the 1997 OVA which I felt was pretty good as well.
But now that I rewatch parts of the 2017 Berserk....yeah it's very bad in animation.
Getting into the Berserk Anime and the 1997 Anime is the PERFECT gateway into this series.
