The original anime series soundtrack was better at carrying the mood and keeping a good theme. The action segments were well done overall along with most of the still 2d scenes. For me it was not a deal breaker but something I did notice.
There are some scenes that are beautiful and really well done but there are also a few parts that are awkwardly animated to say the least. I will say however, that it is hit or miss. "it made their eyes bleed" along with other colorful self mutilating descriptions of horror.
#ORIGINAL BERSERK MANGA ONLINE GOLDEN AGE ARC 1 MOVIE#
Also, for those who expected something more "faithful" to the manga, this movie cuts out just as much, if not more, then the anime but keeps just enough to make sure the story can progress.Īrt: To be honest the new style did not bother me visually as much as some other reviews I read have mentioned. To be honest not many movies nowadays have such a short run time and it did not do this one any favors either. Many scenes were cut and not for the better. There is simply no time to make the connection with the characters and hurts immersion badly in my opinion. The movie leaves off way to many character building moments in favor of actionĪnd try to compress all of it in a laughably short time frame(88mins if I remember correctly). Story: The problem with the story is pacing. This is my favorite story series, bar none. I have owned and watched the 25 ep anime countless times and have read and own all the currently existing manga chapters. This is the series that originally got me into anime and eventually manga. I have been a Berserk fan since I discovered the series back in 2001. For my review I will simply break things down by the rating system here and explain my choices.
