Griffith
With the streak of a tear, Like morning dew
Gobolatula said:Holy jeez that looks pretty nice. Griffith's sleeves don't look as silly in that shot.
Too bad Guts' outfit is still completely wrong.

IncantatioN said:Correct me if I'm wrong but they (Griffith and Guts) look a little older than what I recall from / during that arc.
IncantatioN said:Also, that doesn't look like the same sword he used during his confrontation with Griffith as per the manga.
Aazealh said:I guess they do, but that's a matter of art style. That's not what bothers me here, as the character design looks pretty good compared to the 1997 TV series or even to previous promotional material.
The inconsistencies themselves aren't a big deal to me. But they could just be the tip of the iceberg for things to come, and I think that's the fear.to all of you who are pointing out all the discrepancies in the clothing and the scenery: how much of this is a dealbreaker for you?
DirectDK said:I'm genuinely curious... to all of you who are pointing out all the discrepancies in the clothing and the scenery: how much of this is a dealbreaker for you?
DirectDK said:Many people on these boards know I'm a decently hardcore Berserk purist. Whenever I get my Berserk kits painted, I generally like to make it as accurate and Miura-approving as possible. Aaz knows this very well, as I consult him practically every time. =) Thanks Aazealh! But there are some things that I'm okay with, and some things that I'm not.
DirectDK said:In my eyes, yes, Griffith's coat is a bit more baggy than it is compared to the manga. It's missing some details in the cuffs and what not. Why was this done? Perhaps for animation purposes? Maybe they wanted something looser to exaggerate the movements when they fight? Who knows. Is it a dealbreaker for me? Not at all.
The scenery, it looked accurate to me from what I remembered when reading the manga, but I did a side by side comparison right now to double check. Yes, the tree is off to the side, instead of in the middle where it was in the manga. And yes, a few other discrepancies, but overall, the environment and mood are portrayed beautifully as far as I can tell. [...] And my guess for moving the tree, probably to better frame the fight, and so it wouldn't block the vast landscape that they have in the background.
DirectDK said:For me, what matters the most is the story and the portrayal of the characters. That is what I want to be absolutely 100% faithful. An anime that stays true to how the story unfolds and the depth and development of each character. Everything else is just secondary. I don't even expect every character in this anime to look exactly like they do in the manga.
Dude, I know what you mean. I'm seriously excited.Death May Die said:I'm just happy we are getting another Berserk anime. I mean wrap your heads around that! Not too long ago it was as if it would never happen! Its been over a decade! This shit is finally happening!
I'm still half expecting this to be an extended April fools joke!Gobolatula said:I really still can't believe this is happening.
I haven't thought of it that way! your knowledge scares me.Aazealh said:Sure, faithfulness to the story and the portrayal of the characters is what's most important. I think we all agree on that. What you don't realize though is that the little clues we've picked up already show that this movie isn't faithful to the story or the depiction of the characters. When Guts wears his old armor and wields his old sword during his duel with Griffith, the problem isn't him not looking exactly like he did in the manga. It's him not leaving his breastplate and broken sword behind for Casca to find and hold to her chest (and the sword not being broken during his fight against Boscone?). Do you see what I mean? Do you see how far it can go, and how quickly it does? Don't fall for the fallacy that consists in exaggerating people's arguments in order to make them look unreasonable. We're not just complaining that Griffith's coat is too loose here. And even if we were, it'd still be a valid complaint. By the same token, Zodd's horns not having the right shape (not at all) isn't something I'm willing to overlook. It's shoddy work.
Of course we could try and rationalize as much of it as we can: maybe Guts left the sword/breastplate behind anyway and they just drew him with the exact same equipment because they felt it was fitting or something, right? But in the end it'll be lame and inconsistent any way you cut it.
Gobolatula said:And, honestly, let's play worst-case scenario: Let's say the new anime skips TONS of shit, gets costumes wrong, doesn't have Hirasawa music, and the faces / expressions are slightly off. I'm still gonna watch the hell out of that thing, nonstop. Over and over. And enjoy it, too.
Slime_Beherit said:I myself am hoping that this footage is just leftovers from the commercials. Granted that's assuming that the footage for the commercial was just put together from very early work, maybe from a proof of concept animation to get the films green lit.
Death May Die said:Which I think that already broadens its audience for sheer visual appeal.
Death May Die said:I don't think anime was as abundant in 1999 as it is now. I see 2012 as a new era all together.

Truder said:I guess you are right, small inconsistencies could indeed change the story a bit, which goes against their "faithful to the manga" talk.
Sammoniac said:If we look at things from a global perspective, this new anime project is a very positive thing for Berserk, Miura, all the fans and upcoming ones. This project will surely draw legions of new Berserk fans, and please a lot of the current ones. The fact that its happening will make the series even bigger, and will help provide the attention it deserves. Many more people will discover the manga after this movie (and the future ones). More people buying and loving the manga is the best thing that could happen to Miura, Berserk and the fan base. The manga will always be the best, no matter what quality the other mediums provide. People will appreciate it even more because of that.
Sammoniac said:Eventually, Berserk will probably get great worldwide recognition because of adaptations like animes, games, statues, real actor movies and what not. As long as most of them are quality products and not biased, "fast-food-like" crap. Personally, I loved the first anime because I looked at it with a different eye, from a different perspective. According to me, its a masterpiece (even if I read the manga first and saw how different it was).
Sammoniac said:Now don't take me wrong here. I too wish they wouldn't omit a single detail in the anime. But we'll never see that happen.

STUDIO4℃、劇場アニメーション「ベルセルク」鋭意制作中!!!!!
ついに情報解禁!
昨年末のテレビCM映像でも話題になりました「ベルセルク」、
その時にはまだSTUDIO4℃からはお知らせすることができずに歯がゆい状況でしたが、
あれから半年…この場でも、ようやく、本当にようやくお伝えすることができます。
現場では来年1月の劇場公開に向けて、今まさに現在進行形で制作しています。
窪岡俊之氏を監督に迎え、担当スタッフは一丸となって、
昼夜ひたすら前へ前へと進み続けております。
消費した栄養ドリンクは数知れず、幾度と無く会社で明かした朝、
これらの数字もきっと更新し続けるのでしょう。
完成そして映画の公開というゴールに向けて止まることなく突き進んでいきます。
劇場アニメーション「ベルセルク」公開まであと6ヶ月、
期待してお待ちください。
劇場版「ベルセルク」公式サイト ※7月15日(金)オープン

IncantatioN said:What does it say?!
Gobolatula said:Also something I noticed on the site. Warner Brothers is involved?
Sammoniac said:Oh! berserkfilm.com is now unlocked, without any real content until july 15th.
Gobolatula said:Hearing that a new anime is coming out reawakened all these old feelings. I really still can't believe this is happening.
DirectDK said:Interesting, not sure why they would open 2 separate Berserk twitters.
DirectDK said:It's truly going to be nerve racking until the day we finally see the film. Because the potential is sooooooo great. High production values, big name studios, TONS of manga story to adapt... the outside world is ready for Berserk. Let's just hope they don't f* it all up. As I do with many things, I'm going to hope for the best.
See, I set certain events to get antsy over. Little things. Like, right now I'm excited tomorrow I'm getting YA with the full article and stuff. Also, I'm really looking forward to the 15th when the site launches and possibly a teaser trailer is released. After that, I'll be looking forward to the following Friday when the new Berserk episode is out. Then hopefully 2 weeks later there'll be another. Then soon, the next volume will be announced probably. Then I'll buy the volume. EtcGriffith said:Part of the reason I'm not more overtly excited about this is I'm not allowing myself to be because... well, I don't want to be on pins and needles for six months like you guys. I'm employing the Jedi-like patience I've developed by learning how to passively wait for new Berserk episodes until the time comes, and then, "It's out!? Where!!?"
