I still can't decide if this was the worst episode so far, or merely
slightly better than the first episode. Either way, it was easily the most visually confusing episode.
SK's translation was off. See the quote below for more... Also, his voice actor barely even tried, which is a shame because I really liked
what he did in the third movie.
Everything is too compressed. They're conveying the manga scenes, but people talk so quickly, and the editors are so eager to move scenes forward, that conversations carry out unnaturally:

:
"Sir, your knees!" 
:
"Yes, 1000 years ago a man was imprisoned by Gaiseric..."And sure, that is pretty much what happens in the manga sequence, but in that version of events, the people speaking weren't being threatened with cattle prods to read their lines faster. The problem of this compression rears its head again during the orgy sequence. Props to them for hitting all the highlights of the scene, but it happens about 5x faster than it should have, or for anyone to be able to comprehend it.
"Oh, the goddess of flame! A snake penis?! Oh no, Baby soup? A cliff AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"Regarding the visual confusion I mentioned earlier, during the possession sequence, the camera is placed too close to the characters, and the perspective floats around (they do this a lot...) so you can never really get a good look at what's happening, so it's all too fucking confusing.
2/10.
His dialogue with Guts was accurate and stuck to the manga.
No, you're wrong about that. SK doesn't stand against "otherworldly beings." "Karma" is an incomplete translation of inga (causality is more correct). "Do not have more than one you can care for" is completely wrong. He's supposed to be addressing the dichotomy that Guts can't seek his revenge and ensure Casca's safety. He'll have to choose. Furthermore, it skips the significance of living in the interstice, and the ability to slightly change events during junctions of time, and of course the analogy of the moon's light reflected on the surface of water.
So yeah, it's a fucking wreck. This is a key scene to understanding both what's about to happen, and Guts' role in things, and they fell on their face trying to do it justice.
