And yes i've read the manga.
I liked them too, only see people complain about the animation but I thought it was pretty good.

I am a fan of the original series.

I'm a fan of the manga.
I have not watched any of the movies or the animated series
>>144461426
First one is pretty boring. I often skip them when watching the other ones.
Second and third one are really good, tho. Especially the third one, they seemed to really nail the whole 2D/3D hybrid animation thing they were going for.
I'd only recommend them to people who've already read the manga or seen the original show, tho. I can't even imagine what it's like to watch them without any prior Berserk knowledge.

The animation is leagues better then the current shitshow.
>>144466118
I watched them without any prior Berserk knowledge and I still enjoyed them.
I may be missing some hints but overall the plot isn't that hard to follow.
I can't believe people ITT manage to say the liked movies without triggering all of /a/. Every time I mention that I like the movies a shitstorm erupts like I have just committed blasphemy.

It's easy to appreciate a lesser evil when an abomination appears.
>>144468234
I read somewhere that the same studio that made the movies is doing the anime. i wonder how they feel...
>>144461426
People have only started liking the movies only b/c the current anime is so shit.
>>144461426
I didn't hate them nearly as much as /a/ seemed to generally. I thought they were okay for what they were though inferior to both the manga and the 97 series. At least they're better than this bullshit that's currently airing.
>>144470626
i am one of those people.
>>144470626
That's me.
The third movie really added to the animated series.
They were not bad. CG bothers me, but it was less horrible than it could have been. What i really don't understand is why nobody is capable of drawing Guts' or Casca's faces even remotely correctly. Guts looks like a slightly overweight 40 year old native american in these movies.
>>144461426
Third one was pretty good, rest was meh
>>144461426
Third one is fucking great and manages to outdo the manga in the scenes that matter the most.
One and two are meh but still have some great scenes: Griffith's speech on friends at the end of 1, Guts vs Griffith in 2 and Griffith's sex scene at the end of 2.
I do think it is important to have read the manga to enjoy them to the fullest tho.
