Holy hell, the anime and GA arc movies had their problems, but this is in another league.
This is only the first episode ofc, so the potential to get better exists (technically)
There are so many the first and most glaring being the 2fps animation. I personally like the art style, and wouldn't mind CG so long as it was smooth, but this is horrendous to look at. There are these really awkward moments of stillness where characters look like they're having 'Nam flashbacks (

Overall the look of it would be best described as "wonky"
However the animation issues are far out shined in my opinion by the pacing problems.So many awful choices, rushing over Lost Children and Black Swordsman, throwing in Isidro, things like this are so off putting.
Do they want to get to Flora's mansion by the end of the season? At the rate they're going they'll be ahead of the manga soon lmao
I was hoping for 3 episodes dedicated to the Black Swordsman arc and then the rest to cover Lost Children and Holy Iron Chain maybe, but I'm a fool for wanting things to be paced properly. Looking at this studios track record I am fucking baffled as to why they were given the Berserk anime.
Perhaps they are trying to give the viewer the same sense of suffering that Guts feels, so we can properly empathize with him. Perhaps that is the fate of Berserk fans, to suffer as the protagonist of the series does.
What a fucking embarrassment.
