Sorry! Are you in there under Aazealh? And how does one get their name on the list, anyway?

it wasnt as heavily advertized as some of the other movies. Some of the other movies that get heavy air time are shown at all times of the day... I only saw Berserk once on a comercial during the morning news.Aazealh said:Do they? It didn't seem to be the case to me. They've done their fair share of promoting, partnerships and merchandizing.

NightCrawler said:If Miura had some balls he would've said that since the beginning, before they started producing this anime.
NightCrawler said:And with all the shitty cash grab merchandise and promotion? Bleh.
NightCrawler said:If Miura had some balls he would've said that since the beginning, before they started producing this anime. No wonder the movie is doing poorly.
NightCrawler said:Rehash what everyone has already seen with a crappy new skin? Something that doesn't feel remotely like Berserk.
At least the old anime was more faithful, didn't pretend to be this EPIC thing with every little sequence trying to be more spectacular than the previous.

I might be a grumpy bastard, but this whole project stinks.
kaimera said:To be precise. The TV-Show is a crappy tv-show. It's not limited animation anymore, it feels like dragon ball z in its worst moments. And who wants a perfect retelling of the manga anyways? That's on the one hand fuckign impossible and second why would you just imitate something, just create something new/different out of it. That's what i wish for. You can say all taht bullcrap when you watched the movie, but beforehand its just bullcrap. after that it's your bullcrappy opinion.
And to be honest. Retelling? Everyone would have forgot that shitty tv-show till now and say " oh, what happened there?! Mhm...can't remember" and then there should be a follow-up to that? Sorry but i think since the tv-show was executed this bad they had to rehash everything. And i'm glad. Because the tv-show is unwatchable.
NightCrawler said:Don't you think there's too many liberties taken with this adaptation? Not even with faithfulness, but with tone, with the style, the design of the characters. Everything feels off. But i guess we'll see the SkullKnight animated, and everyone will cheer in joy.
As for the old tv-show. People to this day watch it and use it to introduce others to the manga. And as i've seen, the transition is almost flawless. People get hooked, if they like the anime, they'll love the manga. There's obvious problems with the old anime, but at least it feels like Berserk. Go take a look at Griffith's Recut.
NightCrawler said:Berserk is his. I doubt they would move along with such a thing without his approval. If he approved this rehash of the Golden Age, then i'm going to say it was a pussy move.
NightCrawler said:I thought the same about the PS2 game, and the liberties taken with it. I'm not a blind devotee of everything outside the manga, and i'm going to question the artistic merit of such choices, if they were made by Miura.
NightCrawler said:I don't care about reviews, what i've seen so far is bad. I'm not delusional to the point of thinking the movie is going to have a totally different tone from everything that has been shown. And the 3d is the least of my concerns.

JezzaX said:Neither the old anime or the new project will gain awards for their animation or faithfulness to the manga
JezzaX said:Yes, the new project appears bright and colourful upon first glance, but judging on some of the other scenes that we're seeing there's every opportunity the tone will darken as it gets closer to the eclipse and who knows what things will be like post eclipse?
NightCrawler said:It boils down to this: I wished Miura had pressed for a different part of the story being animated. Nevertheless it's better for him to focus on the manga than to have a fistfight over this.
Aazealh said:Not every scene in Berserk is supposed to be DARK and DULL anyway... Not sure where that came from.
