Griffith
With the streak of a tear, Like morning dew
Deci said:Honestly I'd rather the whole trilogy just be scenes we haven't seen animated than skip or move anything, clever or not, the manga is really the only true and trusted way of following the series. The trilogy is just a different, or bunch of different, artist(s) interpretation of it.
That's probably the healthiest way to look at it whether one likes it or not. The problem is the sweeping sentiment to legitimize it as some worthy counterpart or desired result of the manga, like it's God's gift to Berserk or some kind of successor, when good or bad it's really just its own enterprise ancillary to the manga. That can easily get lost in the excitement and inflated purpose of a feature animation, even for longtime fans, so that for many, especially those introduced to Berserk through it, this is unfortunately going to be IT. Hopefully, it results in those initiates being introduced to the manga as well, but realistically it's still too bad how many will confuse this with the be all, end all of Berserk. So even though I know it's not something to be taken too seriously, I still do because I know others will. But, it's a sideshow; not the destination, not even the journey.
Truder said:not Griffith (the admin) though, seeing as how he's gone from raging at the changes-> to accepting it-> to not caring what the hell they do anymore. Soon he will break like Casca did.
You've stumbled on the perfect metaphor for where I fear this is headed. The manga is Griffith, the saga project is Femto, and we're Casca:
Some of you will no doubt enjoy this anyway. Oh, and those sneering monstrosities at the top? The producers.
