Walter said:Franchising opportunities. This, my friends, is more depressing than if Miura announced a five year break. This is the lowest point in the history of Berserk. Guts and Griffith munching on snacks. For cash. On the fields of Naboo.
Well, as anyone can expect, all anime adaptations of any popular manga are in the end really just cross-promotional ventures. And the new Berserk anime, just as it was with the '97 TV series, it is no exception. We just never expected it turning out to be so utterly crass and contemptuously self-cannibalizing like this
But what makes this even more depressing, is the fact that Miura is actually dedicating his time for this miserable excuse for an "adaptation". He'll be drawing all kinds of promo arts and sketches, which in turn will be eating into the time that he would have otherwise spent working on future Berserk episodes
