I'm almost finished watching the 1997 Beserk anime, should I watch the movies before going on to the 2016 series? The descriptions make them seem like just recaps of the original series.

*Berserk
You should read the manga.
>>157940356
the movies tread the same ground as the 1997 anime, and the 2016 is garbage
just read the manga
>>157940356
yes, read manga, the best option
>>157940356
If you want to watch the movies go ahead. If not, maybe consider the third film.
But definitely read the manga.
2016 series is not good though.
>>157940356
The new series is shit shit shit. Unironically dont watch it. The movies are remakes that go a little further but absolutely dont dont dont touch 2016

>>157940456
thanks, I'll go straight to the new series then
The third movie goes beyond the TV series.
If you're gonna keep watching the anime instead of the manga, the third movie is required.

Now THAT's pod racing!

Pretend the 2016 series doesn't even exist. Watch the movies only if you're curious to see a different take on the Golden Age arc. Basically, just read the manga like >>157940373 said.
>Watch the last 45 minutes of the third movie.
Honestly it is probably be the most faithful, well animated and well acted representation of the Eclipse we'll ever get.
The last 10 minutes just fucked with my emotions man.
If you can watch the dub since The Godhand, Guts, Casca and Griffith have some of the best actors in the biz and they really get to shine in the third act.

Had.

This was way more sad than what I anticipated. I knew it was coming but just hearing the relief in Guts' voice turn to denial, to anger, then to grief was just too fucking much.
>>157943429
Shit...
Well at least the new ones are DECENT, not good just a few steps above passable.
Kinda ironic that the new voice acting clashes with the animation in 2016 Berserk so much.
You can see that some of these people are actually trying to salvage this shit.
>>157943317
My Donovan.
I really fucking hope one day that Studio 4C will get to animate Berserk again. They had the edge needed for Berserk. They mastered the flow between CG and 2d in third movie.
Be right back writing them a letter

That scene at the very end where it kept zooming out hit me the most.
>>157943317
>doesn't have Gaston's final monologue
It's good, but it felt lacking to me.
read the manga lad, it's bloody brilliant
>>157946081
they removed that? oh man that's the most important bit. it was all a dream...
