The old cheap Berserk anime

Its a legitimately great watch if you can get over the somewhat-cheap animation and the inconclusive ending.

As an adaptation however, it's somewhat rushed at times, and as a result leaves some scenes feeling not as fleshed out as they could have been. However, the soundtrack and visuals do a lot in adding to the overall atmosphere.

The thing is, I already read the original and liked it; I just want to experience it in a new medium.

I know it didn't adapt stuff like Guts being assraped or "DON'T YOU POP A BONER OVER MY HEAD" but I've already experienced those scenes so whatever.

As for budget-saving Ashita no Joe season 1 is on my 3x3 so what the fuck ever. As long as the moments that ARE more fully animated are done so in a skillful way as opposed to wasting frames on garbage (see for example the fluid yet horrible traced-over-CG dance scene in Symphogear S1) I'm fine with it. And I've seen enough clips to know that the scenes with fuller animation are done well in Berserk TV (even Umakoshi himself did some work on it)

The OVAs are pretty great just watched them last week, though they do cut out a lot of story

Well, the movies are way more rushed. They have their own strong points though.

You mean the movies? They look horrible at times and at best they're just 'decent video game cutscene' caliber

The old anime's backgrounds have a certain raw appeal to them that very few modern anime goes for. I guess Mob Psycho is a good airing example.

And sure the characters there are kinda wonky but the more close-up shots look good. Note that this is from the middle of a head-turning animation too and not a still.

Despite the obvious animation issues it is a pretty decent adaptation. Really good pacing and covers much more than the movies. I just caught up in the manga and decided to go back and rewatch it and have been enjoying it a lot.

Too late.
It's too late.

tell me what you want

The original anime was fucking great. They cut a lot of corners with the animation, but it was more than adequate in getting the story told and making you feel what you should.
A big part was the OST, which I felt perfectly captured the tone of the Golden Age arc.
The new anime is being made by people who come from a different time.
It sounds really shitty and faggoted, but it's almost like "They don't get it". Like, they think people love this series just for the fighting and the creatures and the gore.
They cut out the entirety of the Black Swordsman arc, which was a fantastic opening arc that showed us who Guts was and what kind of world he lived in, as well as showing us the nature and even the humanity of the apostles and the godhand.
The fact that all that was skipped, while rape horse was kept in and animated hilariously poorly shows what they think Berserk fans really want. Unfortunately, they're wrong.

I don't understand why people don't like it. I mean sure, it's low budget is apparent, but it didn't pull any punches and captured the soul of Berserk absolutely.

This stills and OST were god-tier as well.

Despite the original series' faults, it was very obviously made by actual humans out of love, which I don't think anyone can say about the new series.
