I wonder if Azan will actually have any story purpose. Or if he's just sort of there now. Like Magnifico.

>>147038060
I miss this big guy.

>>147038288
Azan has literally become a minor character in more ways than one.

He isn't important anymore, and he has become a manlet. He used to be slightly taller than Farnese, now he's slightly taller than Isidro.

What i'm getting at is that he probably won't be important for quite some time, if at all

>>147038288
He seems to be an observer, he just sits back and watches everything unfold.

If i can't stand watching the '97 anime, will the 2016 be any better?

I've seen parts of the '97 anime and the movies, and i don't really like them. The manga blows everything waaay out of the water.

The OST to the 90's series is fucking great. Put it on while reading the manga for the 10/10 Berserk experience. Literally all the new series has going for it is HAI YO and that its finally adapting material after the Eclipse... but does so while skipping stuff like the Lost Children

You gotta have a good CGI tolerance. Knight of Sydonia and Ajin was good training. You don't have that, you probably won't make it. Also, the manga has blown, blows, and will blow any adaptation ever out of the water. Overrall, I'd say the good parts of 2016 are better than the good parts of 97. The bad parts of 2016 are a thousand bazillion times worse.

From what I've seen from the community, the people that really hate 2016 are all all about the manga, so you probably won't like it.

>>147038980
The scene when Guts rushes into the heretics' lair and finds Casca was really hype. Mozgus in the last episode was probably the best CGI we've had so far (Ain't much, but it's something).

So can someone explain to me why he's so praised?

I feel like 2016's OST has its songs repeated waaay too much and nothing really seems to stand out that much aside from the fact that a song may be repeated several times between 2 episodes.

I don't even remember the movie's OST, and the original anime had great atmosphere, but outside of the context that is Berserk, isn't really that noteworthy.

I liked Ajin, but found Berserk 2016 hard to get through.

CGI aside, I think the 97 still trumps the new version in terms of pacing. They finally have another full season to work with, and they skip things like The King of Midland's dream and Lost Children, but have time for filler apostles.

He serves no purpose, though, and Miura had no reason to bring him back. He obviously wants him there for something. I feel like he's there for good.

I've been saying it for half my fucking life, but Silat will end up joining Guts, too. Then he'll have almost as many useful people as Griffith. Almost.

>>147039531
>They finally have another full season to work with, and they skip things like The King of Midland's dream and Lost Children, but have time for filler apostles.

The series felt pretty rushed as is, 12 episodes isn't enough to adapt The whole Conviction arc including Lost Children. The filler apostle episode was shit, but there was no way they could fit the BS arc in too, so I guess they had to compromise.

Does Guts ever take off his armor after a hard day's running? What do you think his feet smell like?

>>147039868
What about Zodd eventually joining up?
Of course, with the promise of him and Guts getting a final one-on-one after everything is over.

>>147039502
He did Hai Yo for the new series and Aria for the films, and I think that's it. Which is why the rest is kind of forgettable. He has a great understanding of Berserk and really tailors the music to it, Sign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV26zIE0130 from the PS2 game captures the essence of Berserk almost perfectly. I don't think its possible to not get hyped up when Forces plays. The weird otherworldly sound he has with his music in general I really like, be it Berserk and Paprika's soundtracks or his other work.

Are you one of those people that think Griffith "lost his emotions" or something in the Eclipse? It's pretty clear griffith pre and post-eclipse is fundamentally entirely identical mentally; it's only his physical state that is transformed.

Okay so. We know that the "festival" or "eclipse" is a ceremony dedicated to making a new Godhand. So what if Zodd had a crimson behelt, used that shit and skeleton king was one of those that were to be sacrificed but escaped much like how Guts did except it was Guts who saved skeleton king its causality I ain't explaining shit. Since Zodds ritual didn't eat all the sacrifices he didn't become a Godhand just a really powerful apostle and he is continuously fighting skeleton king to attain godhood. Skeleton king knowing this continues to fuel his life span/sword by eating eggs.

It would mirror Guts and Griffith/Femto perfectly and everything would keep repeating like causality/heart of darkness wants it to be. It would also make way for a reset ending which I think would be a sick revelation to everyone involved and tie up the entire story in ~5 years.

>>147045929
>Since Zodds ritual didn't eat all the sacrifices he didn't become a Godhand just a really powerful apostle and he is continuously fighting skeleton king to attain godhood.

Not only is this bad writing, but why did Griffith become a Godhand when his sacrifices escaped? Explaining that away as "W-well a high enough percentage were killed" is dumb and makes even less sense.

>>147039868
I hope Silat joins. There seems to be a tremendous amount of characters who are useless, and even more who are uninteresting like Azan

>>147046008
>Not only is this bad writing, but why did Griffith become a Godhand when his sacrifices escaped? Explaining that away as "W-well a high enough percentage were killed" is dumb and makes even less sense.

It would imply that Femto is incomplete and Egg of the perfect world would be needed. http://berserk.wikia.com/wiki/Egg_of_the_Perfect_World

>>147046143

Probably joined Rickerts faction instead of Guts'. I can see Rickert playing an important role later down the line with Silat working with him, not as a follower or servant. Possibly as a rebel militia against Falconia.

>>147046301

>>147046573
Yeah its crazy convoluted but so are the first couple chapters of berserk. I think it would be a great way to finish the series with a nice bow, rather than draw it out for 50+ years and explaining the Zodd/Skeleton king relationship away as "they like fightan". Also fits the whole "it is casual" thing skeleton king has going this time arc.

However. All this becomes basically bunk as Ganishka became a world tree and reset reality on itself. I still don't know whats going on, I don't think Miura does either.

>>147046829

>>147045929
>>147046301
I'm not entirely sure this is right, given that Griffith had a behelit which apostles recognized as special.
I'm not sure how Femto is incomplete either considering he seems just as powerful as the other Godhand and has the same limitations (i.e. Not having a corporeal body in the human dimension.)
But yeah I don't know why Zodd fights SK so much

>>147043746
The only "emotions" he has are unwanted physical impulses to protect Casca on behalf of him possessing the child's body as a vessel. Hasn't been brought up since volume 22, but it probably still stands even with the new addition of Moon Babby.

>>147039265
nope, i've dealt with bodies, intestines are the only organs that freak me out

>>147050614
to be honest i didn't mind the movies. first and second suffer from the cg but the third is actually pretty great and has nice stuff added like skull knight fighting zod during the eclipse, other stuff that leads into lost children yet was missing from the original series.

only problem with the third film is that it makes casca look like she's enjoying getting raped by griffith, it's almost full on porn

I still think the 97 anime is the only version that handles Casca's rape well. The others are really drawn out and feel like a borderline hentai.

The 97 version basically mutes the scene with an overlay of melancholy music, and emphasizes everyone's horrified emotional reactions instead of the physical act of the rape.

Hirasawa has this odd love of using 80s synth style sounds no matter what year it is. Its particularly odd in Berserk where its mashed together with strings and other more classical elements. His live performances feature bizarre contraptions for playing parts, from laser harps controlling choir samples to a giant wheel that powered everything. I love his sound.

Controls are fine and you have pretty much every item from the beginning of the game. The counter mechanic is horrible and pretty much requires you mash to get timing right. Enemies fall easily, but are never-ending and can sometimes be overwhelming if they decide to attack you all at once. Overall it's a long grind for XP and upgrades and objectives require you to run around a lot. I happen to enjoy really grindy gameplay, but it might not be your cup of tea. The English fan translation isn't very good save for the cutscenes, but the message gets across. It's fun if that's all you're looking for.

Probably. I'll wait a couple days after release. I'm still sore after getting burned by No Man's Sky.

>>147069922
I'll wait a bit to see if others say its good.

Not the worst advertisement modern Berserk has had.

>>147070102
I feel like an idiot for buying into the hype. Never again. Besides, I watch way more movies than I play video games now so its not really my biggest hobby anymore.

>>147069922
Does it have any story emphasis? All I've seen if random action gameplay.

Cliché answer but still true.

>>147069922
Dumb as the gameplay'll be it looks to be pretty faithful to the story and doesn't seem to be cutting stuff. Hell, Wyald's not only been animated (for I think the first time?) he's a fucking playable character.

>>147070063
Well at least you'll never be that fucking retarded ever again.

>>147070174
I'll never get over how worried Zodd looks there.

>>147070242
He's genuinely shocked, its great.

>>147070242
I'll never get over how dumb his horn looks.

I don't mind it, as much, mainly because it makes it really obvious he's Griffith's personal flying unicorn.

What? No it's not.

The Behelit sword looks so rad and dumb at the same time.

I'm gonna enjoy her breakdown when Griffith doesn't have a need for her anymore.
