Berserk 2016: What The HELL happened
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2016
- UPDATE/ CORRECTION
I’ve come to regret how I depicted Berserks director Shin Itagaki in this video. I don’t know what happened during the production of this series, and blaming it on the contributions of a single person is an irresponsible and damaging statement to make. I apologize to Itagaki, and for the potential misinformation spread. I will do my best to do better in the future.

My issue with cg is mostly due to the fps of the animation. It always looks choppy.
A 24fps hand drawn animation looks vastly smoother than a 24fps cgi scene
Matthew Harrington nah, often CG has restricted frame rates, to match the average 12fps character animation is done in
A true 24fps CG would look way smoother, think of something like Disney or Pixar CG films
To me it just feels lazy and kinda disrespectful
@@wordonthestreet5208CG is lazy and disrepectful?
Nah not even that Disney cgi is at 24 fps and looks super smooth thanks to the great motion blur and that it's actually 24 fps not 8 fps like berserk 2016
Why does this entire show look like a shitty video game cutscene.
low budget. Millepensee which is the main studio, the only anime they do is moe anime like Teekyuu, Usakame etc. Genba that does the 3D is completely new studio
Rip
BaneDain Sega cdi is more accurate.
Look up trailers for the new ps4 game, it actually looks better than the show.
gave it to wrong studio to work on it
there's bunch of anime's this happen too

watch houseki no kuni that's a good 3D anime
2016 skipped too much, The pacing just doesn't fit right with me, and just the overall way it told the story is just pathetic compared to the manga
Watching this video makes me so happy that David Productions is handling JoJo. Both Berserk and JoJo I would consider very difficult to adapt manga yet David Productions has done a great job so far.

Yeah, me too. Didnt like the 1997 anime and the movies nearly as much as the Manga. Tho i do not agree on the popular opinion that the 1997 anime is better then the movies.
Zeo Zentnights the manga and the old series is actually pretty good.
You do you hitler.
I feel u bro....
Let me also add, why the hell do they have filler episodes when the manga has 300+ chapters already. There is no excuse for fillers
That was it for me... their biggest mistake, I watched the first episode, almost near the end I thougt the series look terrible but I could stand it, just because i want to see the rest of the story animated not just the golden era, But at the end when they show that they will destroy the story aswell, I lost it.
they skipped the Lost Children and instead included that stupid pub scene that had already been adapted, did it 100 times worse, skipped the pay off only to include chapter 2, which is completely inconsequential while also tacking on that fucking treemonster. Everyone on the writing staff thinking this was a good idea should just be fired immediately.
Black Swordsman was skipped because while it serves as setup for the world in the manga, it was largely inconsequential and really only spoiled stuff that would happen in the Golden Age which hadn't been entirely planned out yet
It's basically a filler arc
But Lost Children, while being a great story, was clearly skipped because the world just isn't ready for fully animated naked lolis in a non-pornographic show
People think Farnese missing nipples was bad, almost every shot in that arc would have been butchered out of necessity
@@Lazypackmule or you know,you could just take the nipples out as they aren't an important part of her design?
@@Lazypackmule the black swordsman arc made the golden age more interesting to me. We see Guts hate Femto and it makes you interested in their history and why Guts is like this. It needs that intrigue
Griffith created the CGI just to make guts mad

This is why I blame Griffith for everything bad that happens.

Well i thought it suits the huge blade
Guts mains demopan
My experience was that the show made me physically nauseous, and I don’t mean because I was upset at how bad it was. I mean it made me actually motion sick watching it, I had to watch it in a window 1/4th the size of my computer screen just to stay grounded and not vomit... I feel so bad for anyone who tried to watch this on a full tv.
Also just my 2 cents, it really felt like it was edited by a 2nd year film major trying to show off everything he had learned to do at the exact same time.
keep in mind there is a purpose to the animation quality! its clearly supposed to make us feel the same pain Guts did during the eclipse
Underrated comment
The camera work in episode one was nearly motion sickness inducing. Thank you for explaining the rules of cinema and why it doesn't work!
lol i feel sick every time i watch this anime
Because of the camera work, or because of things like rape horse?

I think that CGI can be used right. Attack on Titan proves this.

It also doesn't make sense that they are using 2 completely different types of shading....at the same time.
Seriously, the color scheme may have improved if they fucking picked ONE shading technique!
valid criticism, everyone just gets butthurt without even considering what the show does right and I personally enjoyed the story
I loved the story of this...I just wish that the animators would take it seriously
Contrasting The Void if I wanted the Berserk story I would read the manga
how ? they cut like 6 volumes out lol -
Looks like whoever hired the director took Muira’s “Berserk is a Shojou series” too seriously.
beastars proved 3D can be done right, Berserk 2016 sucks because it was never meant to be 3D, and because the 3D was done so poorly
I'm still shocked that people defend the 2016 anime.
bad4ever2010 the only thing that they KINDA improved with the animation is the facial expressions and more 2D scenes than the 2016 one... that was it... Also BERSERKER ARMOR!!! And still the music is breathtaking at best and the action scenes were pretty good and the voice acting was great and the characters though animated poorly, they were still pretty good. And the Story (something that made BERSERK an iconic series) was still pretty good although they skipped a lot of content. So in the end I really found a few things that they did right with BERSERK 2017. And still I can't recommend this to anyone because of various reasons.
ThisAlbino people defend that garbage?

How does this video have so many dislikes? HOW!!?
Even your Bleach video, which has a younger audience watching I'm sure, has less dislikes than this.
HOW are there FANS of 2016's Berserk anime? I don't understand, is that even a possibility? Old fans should immediately be disgusted, and newcommers should get repelled by the awful -everything- this anime has. I can't possibly imagine how this anime gathered defenders.
too many butthurt people like the shit they serve. someone even said that he will unsubscribe cause he made this video and he likes Berserk 2016. his butthurt was over 9000
I feel like this is FO4 all over again....

I think we have all of the right in the world to complain if a low-budget, sparsely animated show from 1997 is outpacing a show that adapts from the same source material.
Anghelina Dalia
A better what?
Anghelina Dalia
Except he was only supervising. The creation of the anime was on the director and their team of animators. They did a shit job, so I'm calling them out on it. This has nothing to do with Miura.
After finally watching Berserk 1997 (I first refrained thinking the Manga must have aged a lot better than the anime and it would ruin it for me), I'm even more dissapointed in this version.
1997 was terrific; with some gorgeous art work, stellar voice acting and characterization, and it told the story is such a beautiful way. This version... I don't think the people behind it really got what Berserk was about
I usually get bored easily especially by old anime, but it was the slow quiet moments that were the most immersive, being perfectly juxtaposed with everything else. Everyone complains about the lack of motion, but it's compensated with every frame being art and that mskes its poignant moments hit harder.
This Berserk... besides looking terrible, misses what makes Berserk beautiful and heart wrenching. Sure it's a guy with a big sword who kicks tons of ass, but it's the journey he takes with his comrades that is the main draw, and this show misses that.
Where can you currently find the 97’ version? Hey google???

"Explain why Berserk 2016 is bad"

7:31 "And then comes episode two..."
That was only episode one?!
Always has been😔
Why is it that Attack on Titan, a manga that is very rough stylistically (at least in the beginning) and hasn't been around nearly as long, could get such a great anime, but Berserk couldn't?
Though at the end of the day I can just read the manga and animate it in my own mind. Hooray for imagination.
cause AoT anime was made from Wit Studio which is a good studio, while Millepensee that made Berserk 2016 the only anime they do is moe anime like Teekyuu, Usakame etc. Genba that does the 3D is completely new studio
Phil Lewis because AOT appeals to a larger demographic while Berserk is adults only
Your Mom ehhhh, I guess....., but AOT still has people being eaten alive by naked Giants. Berserk is more mature in that it has nudity, rape, and all that good stuff, but it's still a stretch to say that AOT appeals in that regard.
AOT is mainstream... Many people don´t know berserk. I would say that they put more money in the production for AOT than for Berserk, cause it´ll gain more money
anime fan in the West, AoT became mainstream after the anime adaptation. Berserk is kinda popular, including Japan, otherwise it wouldn't get another anime season. the most crucial part for an anime to get a next season is if the DvD/Blu Ray makes enough sales. in the West, Berserk 2016 in the beginning was 2nd most viewed anime for a while on kissanime(that's not bad at all), but after a few episodes people started dropping it with that shitty animation-art-censor, so the number of viewers/rank dropped. if Wit Studio adapted Berserk and made it as good as AoT, it would become mainstream. it has story, blood, violence, etc. add good animation-art-visuals and the success is guaranteed
for AoT it doesn't matter if it was mainstream so they put more money into the anime. since Wit Studio did the adaptation, the result was gonna be the one we saw either way cause that studio is not Toei
Land of the Lustrous is a good example of beautiful cg
Yea
Yeah,but that cg works for the shows purposely simplistic art style
The cut that happens a little after 10:13 is horrifying for a video editor.
The worst part for me is the hand drawn scenes (as few as there are) are actually pretty damned good. Its just so jarring going from a good, manga accurate Guts close up to some low fps weird pointy chinned cosplayer being filmed by some first year film students.
And oh god the random camera angles, you're so right about them. The latest episode had some pretty horrific camera angle examples, random pan and zoom into part of castle wall then pan zoom out of cage. It looked like someone was learning to use Sony Vegas.
Yeah, its look like theres some actual skill behind those hand drawn sequences, and makes the rest of the show all the more painful
The 2D "animation" if you want to call it that is usually one highly detailed still frame that captures the manga panel. Look at the intro carefully and you'll see that the 2D animation also suffers. I noticed more of it during episode 5 as well. It's funny cuz that one 2D shot of "White Caska" in profile (in the intro...were you see the top of her head and eye opposite of guy's profile) wouldn't even look like Caska if you had given it the proper skin tone. It looks super weird and out of proportion.
One thing that also bothers me about this adaptation is that they totally forget mood lighting on the CGI models. They are lit up like the sun in July, especially in sequences where it's supposed to be dark or has stricter lighting.
Indeed. The 2D animation is very choppy and limited. It's like they put in the keyframes and called it a day. And the fifth episode was really bad when it came to panning the camera haphazardly around what was ultimately a colorized panel of the manga.
The opening is 2d and it is the only good thing this adaptation has.
this is exactly how I felt and it hurts my soul so much that I already love this series so much and I was so excited to see a new adaptation already only to get the full-on disappointment, it's such a magnificent series, it doesn't deserve the shittiness of whatever this was.

Just finished 1997 series last week and couldn't be more disappointed by this. I wanted so much to keep going with Berserk story and when I stumbled upon 2016 series I was like... yeah, no thanks. 1997 series was great and it's the first time an anime made me feel like actually purchasing the manga, but after seeing the number of volumes and their prices and considering the fact I don't like to read from the screen I was hoping the 2016 anime I kept hearing about was a good continuation. The hell it is. I don't know how someone could come up with this mess and think it's well made or that it does justice to Berserk in the slightest lol
Wait, the same guy that managed to capture the energy and fun of playing a Devil May Cry game completely dropped everything he knew when he started directing Berserk? Passion or not, this is almost like he is just phoning in his directions and leaving the inexperienced crew to deal with it themselves.
Yeah i liked the DMC too!
There's more to Berserk than just energy though, it's something full of subtlety and finesse, as much as you wouldn't think so on first impressions.
Yeah the Manga is truly great, and even the first Anime was good, but Berserk(2016) is an insult.
im just going to say it, devil may cry fucking sucks. nostalgia aside. the art was nicely done and the gameplay was enjoyable. But the story was abysmal in the typical cheesy anime fashion. dmc3 was a joke; dante eating pizza in his comic book store, with his little sword harness bra..💩
anna pham That is because Dante is not meant to be a serious protagonist. Cheesy one-liners, a devil-may-care attitude and some self-awareness of the genre he's in.
DMC3 made him play off against his much more serious and ambitious brother while DMC4 added Nero as a younger, less experienced foil who doesn't yet know when to take a deep breath and keep a cool head.
Also, DMC4 has Dante and a boss enact their pre-fight banter like a theatre drama. The writers were very self-aware of the type of game they were making.
The problem is not that it's 3D CGI.The problem is that is shitty 3D CGI.
The problem is not shitty CGI, but shitty story telling and character building.
The problem is the director... Disregards the manga: basically ignored it and skipped an arc or two, used shit CGI. There are shows which have CGI, and yet look beautiful af. The CG in Berserk has the funding of about $50 a month lol

Why would they get some ultra-moe anime directer to work on something that's meant to be incredibly gritty/action horror centred? It makes absolutely no fucking sense to get someone who literally specialises in making the exact opposite of what they're meant to be making. Why would anyone even think it would be a good idea?

@@Electric0eye
I'm perfectly self aware. The things I said have nothing to do with me, therefore your comment is irrelevant and idiotic.
greg77389 It’s pretty average. But it’s a hell lot better than Berserk 2016. He actually knows what he’s doing when directing a moe comedy.
He also did Devil May Cry anime (about a dude with huge sword huntign demons). Probably the main deciding factor.
People have no right to complain about Black Clover’s animation when this hideous garbage exists 🗿
It is pretty bad the manga looks good though
The Black Clover animé is good but the sudden drop in quality when a huge fight happens is a turn off, take Asta vs. Ladros and Yuno vs. Rill
"I’ve come to regret how I depicted Berserks director Shin Itagaki" - here's the thing... if he was in charge, as you suggest, then the responsibility falls on him. If someone was in charge of him, twisting his arm to make decisions he didn't want to make, then the responsibility shifts to them, though he's still responsible since he can choose to stay in an environment like that, or he can leave. Maybe he did his best, despite challenges. Who knows.
Either way, Berserk 2016 was shit, and we shouldn't pretend it wasn't. Maybe if the company behind it took responsibility, like people who care about users should, you wouldn't need to speculate about what happened. But they didn't, to my knowledge, so you did.
At the end of the day, these people are making a product, and if people are releasing shitty, poorly made products, we're all worse off, and you could even consider it unethical. Imagine if we had a world where, instead of peddling constant shit for profit, people were dedicated to doing things well and infusing them with care, love, and passion. What a world that would be. It's fine to experiment and practice and get better, but I see too many people and companies using commercial products as a way to do that. I find that unethical, troublesome, and detrimental. If lesser quality works are released, they should be priced accordingly. Surprise, Berserk 2016 will likely be priced similarly to much better made things, which again, is unethical.
You could perhaps, in future, not state things as if you know what happened if you don't--that's an important thing to do. Notice how I use terms like "likely" and "may" to make it clear that certain statements aren't statements of fact. But it's fine to speculate, and it's also fine to point out inconsistencies and call something poorly done if it is.
It's good that you care, and we should treat each other well. But don't let that hold you back from making strong statements that may or may not be popular. For more on that, read the great "Writing well" series by David Sirlin. Also see his great article, "The Sheathed Sword in Software Development," where he talks about it matters to design things well from the get go, so you don't end up with something shit and cause unnecessary suffering later on.
I think your video had value, even if minor parts of it could have been executed better. Judging by the over 1 million views you got, it seems other people also feel it had value. (Views don't always = quality, but for an obscure topic like this, I feel it's a good indicator.)
I would just like to add that no,he might not have been able to just quit-- he could have been blacklisted from the animations industry for doing so,and could've been jobless for a long long while.
@@justbny9278 fair point, though that's a fault of the industry. Imagine if you were working for a company that was supporting the bastardisation of a popular or notable work, and you quit in protest or to not stain your reputation by being involved in it, and you get backlash. that's pretty messed up. The right response is, "thanks for not supporting that bad project."
It's also possible he did the best he could given the situation he was in. Either way, it's a shit situation for Berserk fans.
@@justbny9278 who on earth would deliberately wanted to make a shitty, horrid product just because? u lot talking like the studio was being pointed with a gun to make this look like shit, that's just denial, they didn't think it was shit, they believed them product was good and well made lmao
@@nick.king4 I used to think in that same fashion, then I got my dream job, and realized it’s the exact opposite of what you said. We’re all self-aware, but we’ve no choice but to make shit until we can move up in the industry
My biggest problem with Berserk 2016 is that its more focused on trying to be shocking and "cool": throwing bad rock music at you while being as overly violent as possible, without having a good, well thought out adult story behind it. That's not to say that Berserk isn't overly violent, but it was also intelligent. It delved into the philosophy of the characters and gave them proper arcs. The 2016 anime feels more like an R rated Michael Bay film minus any good visuals. I don't know if the manga is any better. I hope it is.
Yeah, but apparently if you can't get past [enter any number of criticisms here] then you were never a real fan anyway.
"Guts chops some demons in half and women have a rough time; it's Berserk. Lower your standards and enjoy it." - Desperate fan
The manga is platinum man, you gotta read it.
I have the same problem here - the 2016 version does barely make any sense to me, because it doesnt focus on building characters or the story itself, just hack'n'slash, but no atmosphere. Manga and older series did. That is all. And even though I totally hated entire visual of all three 3D films, I still enjoyed the story, it still felt like Berserk, despite that annoying dancing camera.
It's less a problem with the story and more a problem with how it's presented. I remember reading through the chapters the new anime covers, and when I read them, they were dark, intense, emotional, epic, and all around fantastic. Something about the new anime's portrayal of the story feels off, and it's not just because of the awful animation and directing. Certain moments have lost their punch, threats that were originally creepy are now laughably silly looking, and it all around has the feel of a low quality shonen with blood and Barbie doll nudity. That's not what the series should be and it's certainly not what the manga ever was.
This and this and this and this. The shitty music made it even more unbearable. This is a hollowed out shell of what good storytelling and theme is. Anybody who reads the manga and gets lost in how violent it is clearly didn't read a single speech bubble or...anything. This anime was just reduced into wannabe shonen garble.
aslo every scene running at 20 fps doesn't help neither....
so true
20 is more than normal anime.
2D anime at a lower framerate doesn't look out of place because there isn't much movement at all and can often end up complimenting the art style. It becomes really jarring when the whole scene is stuttering along in 3D CG.
There's a reason why we have a standard frame rate for film.... 2D doesn't really have this issue at you can cut corners without really many issues with love action films or 3D you can't do this.
When you listed the two possible problems, it’s a combination of both. They made 24 episodes with the budget of 12, and then the director wasn’t for for the directing of something so still like Berserk
Studio: the animation is top tier, right?
The fandom:🎵 Put your grasses on, everything looks wrong🎵
And in my opinion , the only guy/team that can do BERSERK , feel and look like BERSERK and not like a crappy shit and catch the whole feeling and goresome world , are the guys behind HELLSING ULTIMATE and/or BASILISK
Those guys nailed it big time , everything sticked to original manga , epic direction and voice acting etc ..
not to mention they do an amazing job on Drifters
AzatisS The style would be wrong though, not saying they couldn't replicate Miura, but berserk looks much different than hellsing ultimate.
Michael McCallister I agree. But somewhat i trust them that theyll do a fine job , way better than this mess. I just watched Drifters first episode ... They are so good at what they do , GCI or not !
try thinking of giving madhouse Berserk project and how long it would take to get a sequel lol
Trung Phung do you know why anime don't get sequel/new season? cause they don't make enough sales from DvD, merchandise, etc(the manga sales are excluded cause they have nothing to do with anime). if they release another season they will lose even more money than they already have, so they don't release another season. do you know why OPM got season 2(and so fast) even though it's from Madhouse? cause the anime made sales and it's popular. Madhouse would be stupid to not release season 2. especially since the budget for the anime is average. they will still make tons of profit

Having the spatial awareness of a cat with a degree in Euclidean geometry is now inexplicably one of my life goals.
I feel terrible for Kintaro, man’s dead and pretty much all of the adaptations of Berserk have massive flaws. Original series has little animations, movies have bad 3D, and 2016 series is *insert this video. Man never lived to see a great adaptation of Berserk
who is "Kintaro"?
i believe the main problem with berserk adaptations, is that miura doesn't give a shit about them; He is the same as araki which stated that he doesn't really pay attention to the adaptation of his work because what mattters to him is the manga, but there are 2 main diffrerences between them:
1) who is doing the adaptation: jojo is being made by an ex-gonzo studio, veterans of the industry and are being directed by a jojo fan itself and a staff that pours it soul in it ( even the off shore korean animators seem to be on it too ) while berserk is being made by the tekyu studio and as you said a moe blob director, hell if they wanted to do it in 3D so bad they could have got Polygon, they are the kings of turning CG into something tolerable and they have pleny of experience in somber works, but they didn't.
2) Miura doesn't give a fuck: Araki doesn't care about the anime, OVA's or games. BUT if he hear that the quality of them could put a negative spotlight on his work he will do everything on his power to stop that ( the phantom blood movie ), while miura just don't give a fuck about anything entirely.
I don't believe he straight up "doesn't give a fuck"... ofcourse nobody can really say what these mangaka are really thinking. Personally I think he had a lack of good offers. I don't think a decent studio would take the risk of adapting such a brutal seinen, with moe blob and shonen taking over the market. And about araki, even he has actually canceled a jojo movie for being really bad. But from what I hear, muira is a very humble and nice guy, and he doesn't seem like the type of guy to cancel a project like this. Ofcourse, this is pure speculation on what I know about the mangaka. I just don't think it is that black and white, my theory is also way more black and white than what probabely caused the decision for this anime adaption to be aired. Or, you know, maybe muira just has shit taste in anime. All in all, I am just worried this anime may give the wrong first impressions to people new to berserk... but I am not to angry. Muira is still a great mangaka, and while a good anime would have been awesome, the manga is good enough for me... until the anime was annaunced I didn't even expect to ever get another anime.
***** yeah, true... forgot what exactely happened with that movie, been a while since I read up on that. Point still stands, araki cared enough to not release it further. But muira has been involved with the anime, he even wrote the entire script for episode 3. That is one thing we do know. The studio was probabely just unable to properly adapt it.
+HushedTerror says Miura doesn't care about his work, doesn't know he supervised the 2016 adaptation all the way down to voice acting and even writing the third episode.
..... I Miura is now with that thing called "Idol master" of something like that xd, because that berserk was in that ship for so many years T_T
FulanoConPsicosis no offense, you are just misinformed. Becouse berserk has gone through so many hiatuses, the internet is filled with rumors about why that is. The idolm@ster thing is just a thing miura has once said he enjoyed, he also once designed a character for it... people blew this way out of proportions, and are now saying he is lazy, and he is only playing idolm@ster. People also just joke about this, but alot of people are taking this seriously. There are multiple legit reasons why guts has been on that boat for so long.
I couldn't believe they skipped the Lost Children arc. Hell, I can *still* barely believe it. Yeah, I guess maybe the studio was squeamish about the series' mass appeal if one of the earliest arcs is just filled to the brim with dead children, and I can see why a director so used to lighthearted comedies starring school-aged kids wouldn't want to work on such an arc, but...
...look, I'll get my gushing out of the way first: the Lost Children arc was one of my favorite story arcs in anything ever. It had great characters, great artwork, great action, and it basically did everything right.
But on a more general sense, I think that it was ludicrously important to Berserk as a whole. One of the most memorable features of Berserk was its ability to make the protagonist *frightening*. I still get chills when I look back at the last fight between Guts and Rosine, and seeing things through the eyes of the Knights of the Iron Chain as they followed the Black Swordsman's footsteps made it perfectly clear just how Guts can have such a reputation as a monster when he spends almost all his time fighting *literal* monsters. And on a larger scale, Rosine gave so much depth to the Apostles. The Count was the first example: rather than the unambiguously monstrous snake guy, the Count was every bit as horrific...but when asked to choose between being dragged to hell or sacrificing his beloved daughter to heal his wounds, he chose the former. It gave us a perfect example of not only how the sacrifice system worked, but also how deeply a person has to care for a prospective sacrifice for them to be 'valid.' And because the Count's love for his daughter wasn't affected by his fight with Guts, he wasn't in the mental state that the Beheilt's normally prey upon when they activate.
Rosine, on the other hand, was...innocent, I suppose. It was to a fault, mind you, because throughout the arc, her 'evil' seemed to be more a product of her Beheilt (and Apostle form) turning the imagination she had used to keep herself afloat in an awful home life and then corrupting it into a full-blown delusion. It took a child's developing understanding of morals and twisted it into something more frightening than a hell of a lot of what other Apostles do out of malice, but that was important to see, as was her love for her friend Jill and her reaction to meeting an *actual* elf in Puck. Mozgus went on to do something similar: both he and Rosine showed that understanding the evil of one's actions is not requirement for actually doing them. It also made Griffith more monstrous by comparison.
And Guts? Hoo-boy. This was easily one of the biggest landmarks for Guts' character arc. Puck had been with him for some time now, but this arc was the first time when he actually started to become human again. I mentioned getting chills when I re-read his fight with Rosine, and I think it would be an insult to Miura if I didn't credit his brilliant artwork for it. The contrast between Rosine, even in her full Apostle form, and Guts is just...amazing. When pushed to their absolute physical and mental extremes, both Rosine and Guts seem to lose themselves in what they truly are at heart. Rosine becomes a sad, broken child who realized the extent of what she had done and is reduced to tears of sorry and joy in equal measure when she learns that Puck is an elf, and that the Misty Valley once *did* have an elf village. And Guts...he becomes the Black Swordsman. All his hate and fury and bloodlust warps him into something that Miura does a brilliant job of making both purely human but also more monstrous and terrifying than Rosine herself.
But by the arc's end...Guts is starting to change for the better. If Guts is on a road to becoming either the Skull Knight or Nosferatu Zodd, the end of the Lost Children arc is when he starts moving more towards the former than the latter. Both paths still result in a loss of humanity, but the former is more about physical humanity while the latter is about metaphorical/figurative humanity. The Skull Knight might be inhuman, but of the two Zodd is clearly the monster. The things Guts says to Jill are what makes her resolve to fight to make her little village a place that she doesn't want to run from, and of all the bittersweet arc finales in Berserk, it's one of the only ones to feel genuinely hopeful. And in turn, it led perfectly into the next arc with the Knights of the Holy Iron Chain, what with Guts having been so exhausted physically and mentally by this entire ordeal that they could actually apprehend him.
...fuck me, that was longer than expected. But whatever, in for a penny and all that.
Point is, Berserk 2016 lost a lot of points right out of the starting gate for its janky animation, but I think there were other, deeper problems than that. We get basically no time at all between the end of the Golden Age films and this new series to see Guts as he was during the Black Swordsman arc or the Lost Children Arc, and for the life of me I don't know why. In the manga, we were introduced to Guts as a ruthless monster-hunter who kills Apostles, but does so in ways that make us question just how genuinely heroic he could be. Then we got the Golden Age arc, learned what could make a man like Guts, and went back to the present just in time for the Lost Children arc, to learn what it could take to *change* a man like that.
Instead, we got this. And even the pretenses of Guts' arrest suffer through all this. The Knights of the Holy Iron Chain are tracking him because...why? In the manga, it was because Guts left a long and gruesome trail of bodies behind him in his Apostle hunts. But here, Farnesse thinks he's the not-antichrist, and they found a couple dead bodies, and...I guess the Band of the Hawk matters a lot more in-universe now, because I have no idea why the Vatican would care about a dead mercenary company, however famous they had become.
I've certainly watched worse anime. I've certainly disliked others more than this. But I guess it just felt...disappointing, and when I love Berserk so much, that made it all the worse.
electricbayonet2 I can relate to everything in this comment. Not only is this anime visually a chore to get through, but they skip important parts of the story. Why they skip ANYTHING is beyond me. What’s the rush to blow through the content? I don’t get it. All they have to do is make it look good and follow the manga arc to a T. It would practically print money. It’s both frustrating and disappointing.
That was spot on. I always felt this arc was a turning point for Guts as a character.
There will never be an adaptation of the Lost Children arc. No way any studio will have the balls to animate guts murdering a child apostle.
Lost Children is NOT AN ARC FFS!!! It's a chapter from the Conviction arc
I read all and i cried. Man i felt disappointing too :(
Also wanted to add as someone who animates both in 2D and 3D: All the artistic rules are much easier to apply to a 2D image, when adjusting composition is a matter of redrawing a line or two directly in the camera view, while in 3D you have to move, rotate and scale things around in a three dimensional space, while often looking at the end camera result in another view than the one you are adjusting the object on. This also goes for the shapes: In 2D you just draw the character in a cool pose without a concern of anything that's outside the camera, while often in CG things clip through each other and rigs break. Even though there is much from 2D I can apply to 3D, it's really a lot harder in my opinion to pull off since 2D is so directly linked to the end result.
On the topic of bad CGI:
The Rebuild of Evangelion trilogy (WHEN’S FINAL ANNO!) as magnificent CGI and does look out of place, but they use it to good effect. This, however, is just saddening. I just today caught up with Manga Berserk and I’m breathless. Beautiful drawings! And this just pisses me off. I’ve also seen the golden age movies, and those just kick this joke of an anime’s ass.
EDIT: And even knights of Sidonia has good CG! (Time for a rewatch BTW)
There will never be a Berserk drawn in a style of Akira.
Fuck this age of 3D castrated animes.
They are just getting real fucking lazy, GG Xrd is literally 3D fake 2D done right.
There's plenty of good 3D examples. There's just always going to be good and bad animes. There's plenty of 2D ones that look like fucking shit.
Copain GG Xrd isn't "plenty".
YouSoSpice
Are you calling Overlord bad? Space Pirate Captain Harlock? Knights of Sidonia?
All these are extremely liked animes using 3D.
Copain Eh, not bad, maybe sub-par. Especially Knights of Sidonia. Manga is much better.
Harlock was pretty good though.
Well, this got out of hand
and this was only concerning the visuals for the most part :p I've found the story and dialogue much weaker so far too.
Yeah, why is casca white?
The story is taken directly from the Black Swordsman Arc.
You could say... out of the God Hand.
Eeeehh...?
You are good at what you are doing.
The camera work in Berserk 2016 and Berserk 2017 is proof that sometimes less is more. Both shows were moving the camera way too much in an attempt to make scenes look better when in reality they made them look worse. 3D animation does provide an opportunity to make some really cool shots that you can’t easily do with 2D animation, but you need to remember to ask yourself if you’re moving the camera because you think it will improve a scene or because you think it will look cool.
Quality over quantity.
i hate how some things are moving smoother than others, like 60 fps within a 30 fps
smh The Band of the Hawks didn't die for this
could not have said it better myself.
LOL. So true.
+ResonantPilot64 No no, see, they died so Midland could be liberated from the Kushan.
Even though that happened after they were sacrificed.

I've recently watched first two series of Hellsing again and I feel like quite the same happened to the Ultimate version of it: staging, direction, speechwriting, logic, visuals - EVERYTHING failed. I think it could be really interesting make a comparison of the first episodes scene by scene, tells a lot about things you try to explain about visual storytelling. Btw, really cool channel I was really glad to discover it yesterday. Thank you for your work!
They tried to pull a JoJos and didn't understand what made the JoJos anime good.
"Why is Casca white.... WHY IS CASCA WHITE!?"
Same, my dude. Same.
Oh HEEEELLL NAAAW! Im on the first episode. If she is white I dont want to watch it! I love the skin color on Caska, its the first thing that stood out to me about the anime. Im just going to leave the 1997 anime and the movies I seen on Netflix as my experience with Beserk. They say the manga is good so Ill check that out next.
@@Joesire the manga is fkn AWESOME
@@Joesire The manga is awesome. The cgi stuff is kind of a dumpster fire. But it is Berserk nonetheless, so I too had to watch it.
But if the first thing you notice about a piece of anime like Berserk, and especially Berserk of all anime, is that Casca isn't white? That's some unhealthy racial fixation. There's nothing racial about the show in the least bit. Why does it matter anyway? It's a cartoon, a story. She's not like everyone else in the show in that respect for sure and there's reasons, sure. But I mean, the FIRST THING? About BERSERK???
When people who think that like constantly call other people racists as well, when it's literally a guiding force in their decisions and thoughts too, that's nooooot goooooood. I hope you're not one of those buddy.
Fr though. Who gives a flying fuck if Casca ISN'T white??? As opposed to what? Make her chalk white or green for what it's worth. Literally why give a fuck?
@@drewvanni289 haven't watched the new Berserk
But if people changed the skin color of your favorite character, wouldn't you be even a little miffed?
@@drewvanni289I think you may be letting the charged race politics of the present color your supposition on why people would complain about that specific change. It isn't her entire characterization, for sure, but one of the very first and central aspects of Casca's character, particularly in the beginning of the story is just how much of an outsider she is and feels she is.
From her sex to her ethnicity, these are blunt visual signifiers of that aspect of her character. So a change in that aspect is not only an unnecessary and unmotivated change that happens to erase one of the relatively few representatives of women of color in the medium, but it also directly weakens one of the narrative through lines for the character.
Surely there are those who might be mad simply at the race change without that aspect and I can't begrudge people there preferences from an aesthetic or political level, but this is definitely not a case where that is a probable motivator. Just as not all instances of perceived racism might be motivated by intentional racism, neither are all arguments for representation or the lack thereof motivated by political preoccupations.

This is something like my third rewatch of this video, and I've only just realised that your outro music is from the credits of Killer 7...man I'd love to see you do a video on that game
This looks like a 1990's cutscene from a video game on a floppy disk. Also, the DMC series the director did a great job with the animation on that so what the hell? Ahh well.
LMAO I remeber those cutscenes. They were top of the line though
I wish this new Berserk had the exact same art and camera work as the Devil May Cry anime.
Exactly. I'd be totally down with that. What the hell is up with these dumbass decisions?
Why didn't madhouse do the animation? Like a gungrave style? it would be the best anime ever if that happened!

I was so excited for this I cant believe how bad it looks : S
and the creepy no nipple thing...
Same here... That was creepy.
a lot of animes do that, it's only more obvious now because
1. the animation is different than what you are used to
2. you walk in with a negative moind so that's all you are going to recognize.
The Japanese have weird censorship rules. The DvD/Blu ray will most likely have them as well as some of the gore that was edited out for TV. I honestly think a shirt or bra would have been the better way to go. It's just odd how it is now.

Became a huge berserk fan in recent years I unfortunately haven't been able to read the manga but I love the three movies have done as much lore hunting and research to fill in the gaps and forced myself through the 2016 anime. Really wish I would had just stopped before that but I was craving more beserk and couldn't help it.
Became a huge berserk fan….. HAVENT read the manga 😭😭😭
The constant movement of the camera reminds me of the camera movements in The Great Gatsby (specifically the newer version). The camera was constantly moving and cutting to different shots. It was so bad that I had trouble paying attention to the dialogue and narration and I could hardly tell what was even going on. Seriously, watching that movie made me dizzy. It was like the camera couldn’t sit still, like a hyperactive, over-caffeinated child with ADHD.
6:54 Guts' cape here reminds me of an Arkham Knight glitch
Guts basically turns into Batman when he can control the berserker armor in the manga
Just wait
When David Productions catches up with Jojo's, they'll drill straight into this
Hope so

@@spacecadet_01 don't worry about Steel Ball Run. David Productions can animate it, they can use a bit of the success from the previous parts to animate the horses. I'm wondering why would they animate Berserk because it would be imbalanced for them like Attack on Titan.
They should make a studio purely for adapting berserk like studio bind and mushoku tensei. That way the work load all goes into berserk

Implying the golden age movies were good hah.
Ah well guess they were alright if only for the extended eclipse.

Hah actually the eclipse is the only worthwhile part of the movies imo.
The rest is too action focused while ignoring important characterization-moments(and utterly ruining others like the Casca/Guts waterfall scene).
First one aged especially bad.
As for the 2016 abomination,really I wouldnt bother.They fucked up literally every single aspect(save for maybe Isidro and Puck who,admittedly worked pretty well).
Well I guess its a matter of taste then (of course i respect your opinion 100%) ;-) but you are damn so true about berserk 2016
Petros Kotsomytis
Yeah fair enough,the movies are decent enough if you are just watching them as popcorn flicks.They just dont hold up whatsoever if compared to the source.
Still surprised they get to do a second season despite the overall rather high backlash in japan.

120 dollars for a 50 pages book? I guess you never checked how much they actually cost. I mean, I don't know about U.S.A, but in my country it's 5 euros ( about 5 dollars) for a 220 pages book. Yes, it's still a lot ( having the whole series would cost me 190 euros) but it's not THAT expensive.
No money to fund the project. They were left with pretty shitty options.

As a movie maker I can tell you this, : The 3D was still in progress and most important its a bad crew
Japan does shitty cg that's what happened
UPDATE: I watched Land of the Lustrous, I take this comment back
Not really. If done correctly, the CG in anime can be really amazing... as long as it is in support of the regular animation.
Full CG? Yeah, well. That just looks as horrible as an average American cartoon.
MaJuV yea when its good the cg looks great the thing is most of the time we get shitty cg so yea. Also american cartoons usually use cg pretty well since they usually are able to put more money and time to making the animation look good
UfusDsnake And here you address the key factors why the CG in this TV-series suck so hard. Time and money. I think it was Satoshi Kon who once said: "For every 10 minutes of movie you make, you have the same budget as for 3-4 episodes of an anime TV-series." In other words, you can only make with what you got.
MaJuV yeah but the only reason thats the case is because the anime industry values cuantity over quality way to much and because of that well have shitty cg for a while
True that.
to be fair *Spoiler* when the anime reaches the Tower, Casca is her usual skin colour.
because she has been outside again. I don't get why people are crying when they are paying attention to how your skin color changes form exposure to the sun..
She spent a shit ton of time in a cave so last her tan and got pale, then she runs away and ends up there with a tan again...tada its fucking magic.
I have no idea where people get the idea that caska spent the entire two years in a cave, or how they think that shes the only character in the show who gets a tan, it literally blows my mind
you dont get that brown from a few weeks to a over a month outside. the Afrikaners are still quite white, whiter than Casca after generations in southern africa.
+Super Eyepatch Wolf What do you mean? It's outright stated that she did spend two years there. The cave is magical and it prevents demons from entering, so they had to lock her in there so that she doesn't wander off during the night and get attacked.
What he's saying is: CASKA IS A BLACK WOMAN.
5:41 "Anyway, I can't do this anymore!"
Subtitles for the dialogue in the scene, or just Super Eyepatch Wolf's thoughts while having to watch Berserk 2016?
I think one of the mistakes they make is trying to emulate the "low frame rate" style of anime with very detailed 3D models. If the models are simpler and very stylized it can work, the more detail you put into them the more it doesn't look "low frame rate" and more just choppy.
As a small example, in the 2012 remake of "Space Battleship Yamato" all scenes that use primarily 3D models like the space combat scenes they are rendered in a "fluent" frame rate while the traditionally animated scenes are done with the low frame rate of normal anime. And even when both of them overlapped it wasn't really jarring to have the different frame rate styles mix, as the 3D was used for spaceships and "tech" devices that would stand out somewhat anyway.
Additionally the movements just look very stiff, in anime you can easily freeze on a single pose and just have the face move, in 3D it makes it look like your model stopped animating properly.
So combine choppy looking movements, a color palette that doesn't pop, stiff movements and models that are too detailed for all this, you don't just have a bad anime, you have bad animation.
Holy god.... Looks like shitty ps2 graphics at some moments ..

This anime sucks, but there is something else we can all agree on. The opening is dope AF
I think that's where all the budget was spent.
let me say it for you correctly, : the story is great, that makes us watch the anime even if our eyes and hearts bleed
100% correct i am here for the not art ,i can watch bleach for that.
+askin askinn Not even that. People always tell me that it's the same story and what not so the look shouldn't matter. But so many people aren't understanding that you can't just adapt straight fromna manga and it turns out the same way. They are 2 different mediums. And this anime is terrible visually and how it CONVEYS the story. The older anime had bad animation but the DIRECTING was GREAT. The directing in the new anime is TERRIBLE choosing terrible art styles, poorly chosen shots. and making scenes feel much different then they were conveyed in the manga that really make me think the people working on this anime don't understand berserk at all.
the anime has like 15 fps ( i say that randomly but it looks like a game lagging af), that's an other reason why it's awful too. And yeah you are right, it's just like adapting a book into a movie,it cannot be the same, and some people fail understanding the book / manga and they can't transcribe it into an anime here or a movie ...
I will sacrifice my loved ones with a behelit in order to get a good berserk anime
