I call it an Aazealh Surprise!

JezzaX said:Hehe, this has already sparked some heated debate and caused a misunderstanding between me and Aaz. I can assure you this is not an elaborate hoax. I can understand why people would have a hard time believing it after many years of rumours and the dismissal of those pictures from last year.
Speaking of which, do we reckon those pictures we saw really were leaks of the new animated series? I keep coming back to them as they seemed really highly detailed for a casual prank.
It's a better design, though with admittedly a lot less information. And the massive use of Flash is a bit of a turnoff. I do like the rotating background images though.Aazealh said:The new website has launched! It's still being uploaded as I post this, but it's looking good so far. It's nothing too amazing though. They removed the features they weren't updating anymore (episode previews, the little flash games) and streamlined the rest.
It's because Flash is stretching the image to fit in an improper way. If you make your browser window smaller, it looks OK. But yeah, definitely shitty in a modern resolution window.I think the background illustrations could be in a higher resolution... And that thumbnail of volume 35's cover is just gross. Definitely not resized properly.
I'll follow this and post anything relevant on the forum. They've made two posts so far, reposting the dates the commercials will air (also on the official corner's site), along with a blurb about how they'll be on the web within 15-seconds of airing (kinda a weird determination...)Ah and I didn't post it earlier, but here's the Twitter account for those interested: http://twitter.com/berserk_project
It's real. Previous rumors of another animation began and ended with something like this: "My friend who works in THE ANIME BUSINESS says everyone talks about the next Berserk anime that's in production! And he's got no reason to lie!" The announcement today is on a much, much larger scale. No one but Hakusensha has the ability to both print a slipcover for vol 35, and redesign the official hub site for the series, all geared at promoting a new animation.Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:I'll believe this when it turns out not to be a prank.

Griffith... Griff.. Griffith! N-no Griffith...Griffith said:Do you really think we'd go to the trouble of photoshopping an image, planting it online, posting it here with some random account, and coordinating the timing with the release of volume 35 and launch of the new Berserk website, which doesn't mention an anime anywhere, and then denying any involvement just because it would be the best Berserk prank ever? Naaaah.
It's real, it is not a prank... Trust me.
You COULD say that!

JezzaX said:Also, didn't Miura have a comment at the end of an episode recently stating how he thought that the anime market had changed and wouldn't accept something like Berserk anymore. Or at least something along those lines?
Aazealh said:Miura's comment for YA #21 can be translated like this (thanks puella):
"It's nothing new to say this, but anime series with a fighting man as the hero are almost dead (not popular anymore, he uses the word "destroyed", such a thing) these days, though I think there are still some people who want this kind of anime."

Walter said:It's real, it's coming, and we'll have five trailers about SOMETHING by this time next week. Worst-case scenario, it'll just be animated commercials to promote the release of volume 35. And that wouldn't even be so bad
Slime_Beherit said:I didn't think so many would be excited.
Slime_Beherit said:I'm still gonna watch(probably buy it too) but I don't see how it can be better than the manga.Might be good for music though or more a cheery Berserk opening theme telling me to my glasses on.
Aazealh said:Let's not exaggerate.
Hard to say. According to the person who originally posted them they were made in 2008, and this new animation project is apparently just starting. But whatever the case, they lacked the quality required to meet my expectations. I'm repeating myself but I really hope the new project will be worthy of the Berserk name.
The old YA commercials featuring Berserk were awesome, so I expect those new ones to be as well. I think the ones on TV will just be about the series in general and volume 35 in particular, but the Web-only one might touch upon the new animation project. Or maybe they'll all tease it in to some extent, but it seems a bit early.
JezzaX said:I personally thought the quality, whilst a little rough, showed a fair amount of potential, certainly over the 97 adaptation. But this is just opinion.
JezzaX said:Old commercials? are there any videos of these I can see online?
Saintly pants said:Blood/tits/gore...
perros said:Ah, those trailers can't come soon enough.
Saintly pants said:Oh there was one bit of open nudity in Hellsing: Ultimate. It involved a forced flashback and corpse rape. And it was NASTY!
Saintly pants said:Thinking of it, if they can put something like that on a DVD, it looks promising for a Berserk OVA going all out.
