CCS said:Hahaha you guys overreacted way too much to what I said. It's not like my input will at all affect how the movie actually turns out, it was just an opinion.
Anyway yeah, I feel the first 3 volumes are pretty bad when compared to Berserk overall. Opinion. You can argue that I just don't get it but that's the way it is.

CCS said:The art was pretty weak as far as Berserk goes. When you get to later volumes the art gives a whole lot more depth to Guts character. He's silent a lot so what he looks like by way of the art really matters. So in the early volumes Guts just seems like a really shallow "grim and dark" character (think Sasuke from Naruto). It wasn't until the Golden Age where I feel Miura hit his stride with really capturing expressions that reflected a more complicated state of mind. So I feel if they animated the first 3 volumes Guts character design would have to be updated to be closer to what he looks like around volume 15 so it actually looks like he has something going on in his head. I'm sure the animators will do this. The character design of him done on that promo poster looks really good.

CCS said:The Golden Age introduced all these interesting side characters and Guts had relationships to deal with and the reader got a much better sense of him as a character. It wasn't grim and dark all the time, which is good, because stories suffer if they have too much darkness.
PITIFUL
CCS said:There were moments of punctuated graphic violence in the midst of interesting bits of character development, romance, and intrigue.
CONTINUE
CCS said:That I think would appeal to audiences more than just a guy with a sword cutting up demons for 1.5 hours alongside a comic relief character.
YOU HAVE FAILED
CCS said:I think that would alienate a lot of people.

CCS said:Also it might seem that I think volumes 14-22 were bad because of what I just said

CCS said:but I feel Miura's art had much more intensity to it at that point and was able to add depth the the characters. His writing was also better and each section with an apostle really contributed to the themes in the manga. Also at that point we the audience are already clear about Guts motivations and knew him as a character, so it's fun to see him slice up demons for a while. Because we're MAD at those demons for what they did during the Eclipse.
YOUR FORM IS FRAGILE
CCS said:Anyway that's my two cents. Don't take it personally.
