First off a huge thank you to Leon-Solide for the diligent comparison between the episodes and the movies. The new head models are subtle, but I appreciate the effort to make the character models less clunky and Casca's better hair. It will also be helpful to identify updates to Redux. I also appreciate Aaz's detailed analysis of each episode and his recall to what came before.
I may be the odd man out, but I really appreciated the update to this episode. Extending the love scene to include Guts trauma, and Casca's acceptance of him afterward is a huge win for this update, similar to the bonfire of dreams. They've really put an effort in to target the new scenes to be about character development, especially between Guts and Casca. And the fact that this scene has never been adapted is much appreciated. It's an overall improvement to the trilogy which sorely lacked in character development, among other things.
There are some very rushed bits of animation in the sequence, especially in the wide shots. Not great, but much better than the 2016/2017 anime. There are a couple of very lazy animations. However, the close-ups seem closer to the quality of the original movies.
It's a faithful scene that is probably the best addition after the Bonfire of Dreams. I'm hoping we get at least one more new scene before the series is done.
