Berserk discussion thread

Originally I was pissed that the first season skipped the Lost Children arc, because the Fairy Queen fight is one of my favorites in the entire manga, but now I'm glad that they didn't do it.
 
The only silver lining is that this is anime so there's nothing stopping someone from just doing another adaptation. This isn't like Game of Thrones where we have the HBO series and that's going to be it for atleast a decade.
 
Or warner bros can get their act together and make another trilogy movie series.

Seriously god bless the movies.

If they have time between Jojo Parts, absolutely! :D

I'd love to see the Fairy Queen fight, or the first time Guts dons the Berserker Armor animated by them :)

Indeed. With how much love and attention David Productions has given the Jojo series, I would be totally down with them doing a Berserk Adaptation especially since we know from the uncensored blurays of Jojo that they aren't afraid of doing copious amounts of gore and violence when the source material calls for it.

David Productions with either Hirasawa Susumu or Hiroyuki Sawano doing the music for Berserk would be amazing.
 
... I had some hope after catching the Qliphoth part (I was quite 'happy' (in a purist sense) they had actually included the treatment of the Trolls' captives in the episode), but now you've spared me quite some lost time and tears. Thanks.

Sawano does good shit, but I'm not sure he's the one who should do the OST for Berserk.
 
I loved shiro Sagisu's OST personally, so I would be okay if he came back.

Also Akira Senju if Berserk is picked up by David Productions. He did outstanding work on FMA brotherhood and Valvrave(even if I disliked the show the music was good)

I don't think it's possible for Farnese's fetishes to have gotten weirder.

Her starting line was "aw yea Guts split me in half with your Dragonslayer"

"no, not the other one you're thinking of"

"the other other one"

So I just read the three chapters that have come out since the Hiatus was declared and I'm actually pretty impressed with how Casca's mindscape is being handled.

The imagery and metaphor on display is quite cool ranging from subtle to blatant.

The desolate wasteland with the peak of the Eclipse in the distance casting everything in shadow, and around which everything revolves, the tiny fairy Casca's who hide away and play amidst the ruins. The small bonfires of happy memories and the maimed hound stuck full of spears pulling along the coffin with the broken Casca doll are all fairly blatant.

But there are other details that are subtler: the way the shadow creatures become larger and more detailed/visceral as the girls resemble the Casca's doll, because as Casca becomes more whole the things she suffered and fear become more clear and powerful.

Starting off as rags floating on the wind, then progressing to King Kong forest spiders, then to H.R. Gringer balls of tentacles then towering monsters. One imagines that when the girls reach the shadowed peak at the center of it all the shadow creatures will come fully into focus as the many monsters of the Eclipse.

Or the way the images memories that touch upon Griffith have extra details which convey a sense of something personal to Casca left mangled and decaying. The rusted helmet, the tattered and bloodstained Band of the Hawk Flag and the broken sword lying in the dirt.

I am actually pretty stoked for how the Eclipse itself is going to be handled via this lense of dream logic and metaphor.

Zodd gives them all a ride back on his... back? It's been so long since I've read the manga that I can't remember if Griffith rides Zodd or Zodd rides a Griffin.

Maybe Zodd rides Griffith?
