Sooo..? Are they going to continue making these or not?!? Cause the 3rd one was early 2014 was it not? And it's been more than a half a year now.
According to Studio 4C, their original pitch was to start with the Black Swordsman Arc, but Kentaro Miura wanted the Golden Age Arc to be adapted first, probably because he didn't think the modern generation of anime fans were familiar with Berserk (which is more or less true, and was certainly the case for me).You know. All said and done, this trilogy really was kind of unnecessary as the original anime was near perfect. :/ They really should've just continued off from there.
They could've easily just done a "remaster" of sorts, kind of like with DBZ Kai to showcase it to a modern audience.According to Studio 4C, their original pitch was to start with the Black Swordsman Arc, but Kentaro Miura wanted the Golden Age Arc to be adapted first, probably because he didn't think the modern generation of anime fans were familiar with Berserk (which is more or less true, and was certainly the case for me).
The director has stated that the arc he'd like to see animated most is the Lost Children Arc.
I would've rather had them skip the Golden Age Arc entirely and focus on what hasn't been animated yet (see also: LITERALLY EVERYTHING Post-Eclipse).They could've easily just done a "remaster" of sorts, kind of like with DBZ Kai to showcase it to a modern audience.
Far from it. Miura was hospitalized once before, but that was in 2013...due to stress. When that happened, the fanbase panicked like you wouldn't believe, and all thought he was going to pass away and leave Berserk unfinished.I also heard that KentaroMiura had tendinitis in his hand or something like that. And therefore he wasn't going to keep going with the Manga soon. Is that true?
I wanted to see that happen too...until I realized how astronomically expensive that would be.I just want to see Berserk adapted without anything being cut out, but sadly I feel like that won't happen.
Lost Children Arc will probably happen. If they could animate the Eclipse, and make the grotesque visual spectacle even worse than the manga, I'm sure they can do it with the Lost Children Arc, too.A lot of people are saying that the Lost Children Arc is too violent to animate, but then again we saw the Eclipse in all of it's violent and sadistic glory.
That's understandable, but condensing all that to an anime would be disastrous. Most anime don't have the insane budget of Kill La Kill or Attack on Titan, and tend to be made very cheaply. That's why many well-made manga adaptations have succeeded in the realm of movies and OVAs, because neither the budget or the content is monitored in the way that anime constantly is.I'd rather them have a new anime than make a bunch of movies, which are bound to skip events and cut a bunch of crap out for the sake of fitting within a certain time constraint.
You and me both, pal.I'm just glad that Berserk has returned to it's regular publishing schedule.
It's been out for weeks. The newest one will be released in eight days.Chapter 338 is finally out, Just an FYI

One of the reasons Berserk is considered the Lord of the Rings of manga is because the sheer scope and volume of the story cannot be made on a standard budget. The massive battles, the towering Apostles, and surreal/symbolic images that would rip a Special Effects Team a gaping new one would all be impossible to condense into an anime or OVA.

I personally watch the movies just to see my favorite scenes from the manga animated. I know they won't adapt everything, but I know they'll adapt and animate the most iconic scenes at least, and that certainly makes it worth it.
You and me both, pal.

As much as I love Berserk, I could not care about anything else being animated other than the ****ing Berserker Armor being animated. God, that's all I want in this lifetime.

Er....wish semi-granted?
You can thank the PS2 for that. The thing had the technical process of a graphing calculator...and I would've rather much had the game developed for the original Xbox or GameCube, despite how much I like the game.Love that game, friend let me play it for a bit on his PS2. But...the animation used in the Golden Age films is a lot better than the awful PS2 era textures in the game.

As for the movie CG, well...I like it in shots like the Battle of Doldrey (that whole movie used it really well) and for the monsters in the last film, but I really wish they didn't use it on the characters' faces. Having it for things like armor and fur is one thing, but having it for human faces makes the movie look like a cutscene from One Piece: Pirate Warriors.
They thankfully fixed it around Movie 3 by CG-animating the characters' armor and 2-D animating the characters' faces. I assume they'll adopt the same tactic for the inevitable fourth film.
