Is his mouth okay?
Johnny Apples said:How much of the key animation is done in-house by Studio 4°C's own long-time veteran animators in Japan, and how much of it gets done by unpaid interns in some offshore studio in Philippines or Taiwan (some of favored outsourcing destinations for Japanese anime companies looking to slash production costs)?

Only thing to make me smile regarding the trailer all day
ShiffuFirestorm said:I'm hyped guys.
The 3D CGI looks... well not that good. But regardless, it's going to be The Black Swordsman Arc/Lost Children saga!!! (I assume) I have been waiting for over a decade! It's a teaser so I wouldn't take the animation so seriously. Keep in mind that the movies drastically improved from 1 > 2 > 3. The CGI in Descent was great IMO, and it was well paced. The first movie was crappy, because so much material was skipped.
You guys don't dig this?
Lithrael said:The wobbly DS, though, is a completely normal animation technique like your old fashioned squash and stretch. It's done so that a quick one two or three frame glimpse doesn't just strobe. It's basically an alternative to a motion blur.

Tripas said:I'm still skeptical about this. And not because the poor animation or some artistic choices, but because the story. If they keep focusing on making cool battles, fantastic environments and unnecessary cameos... Well, after all, Berserk isn't more than monsters and blood, is it? What can spectators search besides fanservice?
On the other hand, I don't get how Miura could give the rights to make an anime so easily. Given the amount of effort he has put in his work, I can imagine him very strict with these things. Maybe little to none studios were interested in this? Maybe Hakusensha has very influence over it?
SuperVegetto said:I agree. I got a JoJo feeling watching the teaser...

Aazealh said:Reading how it went down for the movies, he was basically cheated into thinking they'd do a good job by a demo featuring great footage (of which screenshots were leaked, if you remember) before the project was turned into shit. They even specified at the time that he had refused many propositions in the past because he felt they weren't good enough before accepting that one. Imagine the disappointment, the betrayal he must have felt. So anyway I'm not sure how much of a say he has in all this now.

Johnny Apples said:Bait-and-switching the Berserk fans with leaked animation footage, and lying to them on Twitter with the promises of "faithful adaption" is one thing. But lying to the Berserk's original creator? That's a scumbag move on a whole new level. I wonder, how the Studio 4°C managed to pull it off? Merely creating a few minutes of slick-looking animated demo footage could have been done by any major anime studio. Better companies like Bones, Madhouse or Gainax could have done it too, if they wanted. What was it about Studio 4°C that set them apart from other companies and made Kentaro Miura put his trust in them? A mere demo footage alone wouldn't have been enough to get Miura to sign off his story to Studio 4°C and completely relinquish all creative control to them. I believe there must have been some kind of verbal promise from the Studio 4°C that their movies were going to be faithful to their manga source. Because if that promise was made it writing, on a contract, then Studio 4°C would have been legally obligated to make their Berserk films stay true to the original manga. And Miura would have been in power to prevent Studio 4°C from making any more movies, after the hatchet job they did with the Golden Age Arc. But those are just my speculations. I wonder if we'll ever get the true full story behind this...
